Pond Turns Out To Be 'Swampy' By JO FOX The witty classmate who jok ingly identified Helen Pond's sur name with Pond Laboratory never realized his own discovery. Sophomore Helen is a legacy to a legend begun sixty years ago when the president announced that Dr. G. G. Pond had joined the faculty. The legend is simply entitled "Swampy." To the graduates of a quarter of a century ago, Swampy is drawn vividly in memory as a - short energetic little man with a -ugged sense of honor and a heart he size of an overgrown water ielon. To Helen Pond, he is - imply Grand Dad in the family Groat Teacher At the time of his death, Swampy :Inked with the greatest chem ;try teachers in the country. !elm, confessing that the scien qic aptitude was not transmitted 'ler way, is an art education major. Recently elected president - 4 her unit in Atherton, the dark sired sophomore is the third link n the chain of Ponds connected •ith the College. Her father, fired, one of Swampy's four hildren, graduated in Chemistry, , layed varsity football, and was = member of Delta Upsilon and 'rids.

Veterans Dominate Student Enrollment Veterans continue to dominate the College student body it was disclosed this week, as 1948 regis tration totals showed more than 60 percent of this year's record enrollment to be ex-servicemen. The ex-servicemen number 5597, an increase of 235 over the 1947 registration. Sixty-three wo men veterans are included in the current figures. Of the total, 462 are graduate students, 24 carry special classifi cation, and six are enrolled in the two-year agriculture program. Thirty percent of the ex-serv icemen on campus are in the sen ior class. is much of an accomplishment as to have won a varsity letter. Feared Man No man was ever more feared by underclassmen or more loved by upperclassmen than A Swampy. This illsstrative story is still told of the frightened Frosh who came to visit the Pond's at their weekly "at home" night. As Swampy opened the door, he spied "Barry," his mon strous Saint Bernard who had come to investigate. "Get up stairs," he shouted. At this, the petrified dink-topped youth duck ed under Dr. Pond's arm and -crambled for the steps. To tiny Helen, who was named after Swampy's wife, we owe the nudge at one of the College's richest memories.

Two of his attempts hit the upright and bounced off and the third missed the standards entire ly. A short, kick set up the Lions' first. touchdown when Walt Piebes punted from his own goal line to the midfield stripe only to have the ball bounce back to the Colgate 30. Three plays later Luther scored. After holding the Raiders, the Higginsmen rolled from their own 33 to a touchdown twelve plays later. Colohe, Triplett and Luther took turns at carrying the ball with Triplett scoring from the 12, Anothe r short punt in the last few minutes of the first half gave the Lions the ball o n the 25 and the Nittany gridders headed for another score. Russ Gustayson in tercepted Luther's second pass, but his teammates were halted in four plays and were forced to kick to the Nittany 42. On the first play from scrimm age. Rogel bucked into the line and handed the ball to Chuck Drazenovich who flipped the ball to Petchel.

NOVEMBER 2, 1948 Politics— (Continued from page one) The other four points in the party program for the year deal with a student advisory system, support of current student com mittees, a professor-rating system, and moves for a "stronger student government." To "remedy" the •'inadequate" student advisory system, the Lion party proposes the setting up of a faculty - student committee to study methods of advising stu dents "as individuals and not as mere matriculation numbers." The party listed six established committees which it will support, including the student *union, asso ciation of independent men and women, National Student Asso ciation, field house, co-op, and CORE committees. A committee from the respec tive school councils to study and report on systems of rating pro fessors was recommended in the party program. Finally, the program advocates a stronger student government bolstered by a "better informed student body," the latter to come about through greater party affil iation, committee activity, and discussion by students. Jim Crow (Continued from page two) to a rear bench. She refused. By the time Hayes got back to the store a noisy argunent was under way. Someone called police and a couple of cracker cops beat Hayes within an inch of his life. "If it can happen to Roland Hayes in Rome," agred all the women, "it can happen to any Negro anywhere in the South. Telephone Is Ordeal Even using the telephone is likely to be something of an or deal for a Negro woman in the South. One quite frequent diffi culty stems from a peculiar quirk of Southern white psychology. No Southern white who even pretends to be worthy of the no ble traditions of the South—white supremacy—the purity of the race, the sanctity of white South ern womanhood would ever call a Negro "Mr." or" Mrs." He'll call them "Doctor," "professor," "Counselor," but he'd cheerfully burn at the stake before he'd ever so far forget his white heritage as to call one of the creatures "Mr." or" Mrs•" All of which presents a pretty involved problem to your South ern telephone operator who is emphatically Southern before she is a telephone operator. She won't say Mrs. to a Negro women either —not if she knows it. One women in the group, on a visit to Jackson, Miss., some time ago, wanted to telephone her family in Atlanta. She put in the calland gave her name as Mrs. John Black—or at least Mrs. John Black will do for this story. If I used her real name she'd never get another long-distance call through as long as she lives. Any way, the operator asked her, po litely,"What's your first name?" So she told her, "Grace." "Is this the colored woman, Grace Black?" asked the operator when she rang back a little later. "Yes," was the response. A couple of other questions and the replies. "Yes,, "Yes," You say "ma'am" "Look here," was the infuriated response of the operator,,, "don't you yes me. When you talk to me what's good for you. you say 'ma'am' if you know Then there was the incident of a purchasing agent of Tuskeegee Institute who tried to call his wife from Atlanta. He put in the call fo r "Mrs. Morgan," and gave the Tuskeegee number. "What's her first name?" de manded the operator. "There's only one Mrs. Morgan there," she was told. "Just get any Mrs. Mor gan at that number and she'll be the right one•" "But she,s a nigger ain,t she?" was the wrathful response. "Do you think I'm going to say Mrs, to a nigger?" Well, the next day Mr. Morgan was in the office of the telephone company manager. The lily white operator was summoned and summarily fired. But the soft hearted black man interceded and she got her job back. Negroes get normal telephone service in Atlanta today.
