Displays Depict Past of College • * * Fraternities Greet Homecoming Alumni Many homecoming alumni should be pleasantly surprised to find scenes which remind them of undergraduate days long past, brought to life again in fraternity displays ranging from the devel opment of the Jordan fertility plots to the history of the typical Penn State coed. Thirty-nine fraternities have arranged lawn displays for the gala homecoming weekend, most of them following the theme, “Penn State Through the Years,” very closely. Several of the displays trace the growth of phases of Penn State life down througl the years. Alpha Chi Rho will show improvements in coeds from 1855 to 1960, complete with special lighting effects. FLAG POLE FIGHTS AEPi recalls the days of flag pole fights with a simulated fight on their lawn. Alpha Gamma Rho features a robot depicting the Jordan fertility plots being push ed away to make room for new building. Alpha Phi Delta will show the development of Old Main as will KDR. The latter version includes special lighting and sound effects. ATO has prepared scenes from past and present college life, the old on a hay,wagon; the new in a trailer. The Beta Sigs, closely tying their theme in with tomorrow’s football game, present football fans from a “purr to a roar.” Beta Theta Pi, attempting to re capture the cup they won last year, will have on their lawn a stuffed lion throwing years through the past with scenes in the background tracing the prog ress of the College. FOOTBALL THEMES Themes on the Lion-Spartan football contest abound. Kappa Sigma will have both a movable Lion and Spartan, the Lion win ning cartoons depicting Penn State through the years. Phi (Continued on page three) French Film at Nittany “Marias,” a French film with English subtitles will be shown at the Nittany Theatre Monday and Tuesday in collaboration with the International Film Club and modern language depart ment. “Marias” is a part of a trilogy consisting also of “Fanny” and “Cesar.” The other two films will be shown at a later date. Raimu and Fernandel, who were recent ly seen in “The Well-Digger’s Daughter,” will act in alt three films. As an experiment, the Nittany Theatre will hold continuous shows in the afternoon and eve ning. “The idea of presenting a for eign language film each week,” said Edward Abramson, head of the International Film Club, “has been highly successful so far.” Orchids for 'Wingback' Opening; Singing , Dancing , Comedy Tops The curtain went down last night on the first performance of the Thespians fifty-first fall show, “Bring Back My Wing back” and there are orchids once again for its outstanding cast. Aaron Osopow, better known in the show as the director, stole the entire show with his comical characterization as the director of the blue band. p eggy Cunning ham as Nancy was at her singing best as was Tqd Komorowskl STATE COLLEGE, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 22, 1948 By Loretta Neville Lines from the Lion Dear Gang: Rememer this guy Guerre? (pronounced gurr or just plain grr). H e is terrific. He hits the line like a pile driver, races up the field lik e Barney Ewell and tackles bounce off him as is he were Doc Blanchard. And mind you he could be Elwood Petchel’s brother. The lil’ guy is only 5’5” and weighs 156 pounds. But nevertheless he’ll probably cause many goose pimples to appear on Blue and White faithfuls, for that little keg of dynamite blew up on a bright shiny October day just two years ago. It lit a fuse under him and ‘Lil Dynamite’ should explode before the Spartans pull into Nittany Valley. If he doesn’t Chuck Draz promised me per sonally that he’d personally provide the spark to ignite the TNT the first time he tries to ru„ through the line. I’m staying at the Olds Hotel and met a cute girl who works behind the soda fountain there. When sh e saw me she asked me if I knew two guys by the name of Larry Cooney and “Rip” Shearer. She said she met them two years ago when they played up here. “They promised to come and see me as soon as I got my di vorce but they never did,” she told me. Everyone knows that 7 is a lucky number. So twice 7 (which totals 14 for you unfor tunate Liberal Artists) should be twice as lucky. Rememiber tomorrow we’re going after that 14th game without a set back. For the Glory. THE LION Forestry Honors 52 War Casualties A plaque, bearing the names of 52 graduates and former students in the department of forestry at the College who gave their lives in World War I and World War 11, will be dedicated tomorrow morning.

Morton, of the Penn sylvania Department of Forests and Waters, will deliver the eulogy and Dr. Lyman E. Jack son, dean of the School of Agri culture, will deliver the accept ance speech.

Collom as “Hippsy” Rose Magee, strutted and sang her best in a glorified drum maporette's cos tume. "Billie Cooper as the secre tary rolled her eyes in the well known and inimitable Cooper style. Irene Cameron not only played her part as a sophisticat ed college girl, but put her songs over with the same polish. Among others deserving of praise in the show were the Old Timers Gather At Pep Rally Tonight East Lansing Returning alumni will get their first taste of the “back to the campus” spirit at the pre-Michigan State pep rally which will be staged in front of Old Main at 7 o’clock tonight. “We’ll try to have spot.ights to light up the space in front of Old Main since we were criticized for not having them at the last two rallies," commented William Bonsall, head cheerleader. Complete plans for the homecoming weekend were sent out bjr the Alumni Association, and grid stars of yesteryear were asked to return to be introduced to the student body at 'ght’s rally. The Blue Band as well as team members of the. ’4B grid squad also have been asked to attend the rally but it is uncertain whether conditions will permit them to attend. Commenting on last week’s in augural of the flash card system, William Bonsall said: “Many mistakes were made the first try but we’re going to cor rect them this week. The co operation we received v'as won derful except for the few char acters who threw their cards away after the game.’ Students sitting in adjoining sections K and L are asked not to throw away their cards after the game but to pass them over toward the center aisle where they will be collected by Blue Key, junior men’s honorary.

The show, on the whole, was remarkable for the lack of off color lines and jokes. One of the better songs of the show was the title number, “Bring Back My Wingback,” at the end of Act. I.
