Dorm Inmate's Stunts
Put Inferno to Shame
A night in Dante's Inferno just ain't nuttin' compared to one in a
typical campus dorm. Inmates show endless variation in devising
diabolical stunts to make study impossible.
Timed with the opening of the first text book, preparatory to dig
ging in, giant firecrackers explode in the hall, and campus cops burst
in searching for red lanterns or turkeys.
Ah, maybe after the secret police have gone we can get down to
study. But no! Some jester takes
at its word a door-sign reading,
"Don't knock, kick it down", and
his accomplice follows, playing
fireman, hosing down halls, rooms,
and anything that moves.
In the lounge a cheering section
roots exhuberantly for its favo
rite in the touch football game and
wrestling bouts. Of course there
are the common background noises
of jangling telephones, radios
being jammed by some ham toy
ing with his oscillators, the re
layed shout, "Sally's", tin cans
rolling down the hall, roistering
bull session until daylight.
Look out when you leave your
room! in addition to the ever pre
sent danger of the hose, over there
a group of junior zoolgists is plan
ning to bring a dead calf into the
dorm for dissecting, and hanging
from the fire extinguisher is an
effigy of an ex-naval officer of the
dorm which must be saluted when
passed.
In the dorm every night is
Walpurgis night

College, more men than women

onomics courses as electives.

Boro Parking
Law Challenged
Enforcement of the boro's all
night parking ordinance was
challenged Monday at a hearing
before Burgess Albert E. Yougel
when Attorney Musser Gettig of
Bellefonte appeared as legal ad
visor for Ross W. Edmiston of
High street who has been charged
with violation of the ordinance on
January 15.
Attorney Getting said that "no
alleged violator shall be held for
any violation if at the time of the
violation official signs, are not
posted."
He said that the failure of the
boro to erect signs stating that
no parking was permitted beween
2 a.m. and 6 a.m. was contrary to
the requirements of the vehicle
code, and therefore the ordinance
could not • be enforced.
Burgess Yougel held his deci
sion until a later date in order
to make a complete study of the
testimony and the law affecting
the enforcement of the ordinance.
