Behind the Wheels
Ski 'enthusiasts, like Bob "Andy" Anderson, Betty Mae Park
hurst, Pat Kinkead, Bill Echelmeyer, Madeline Bush, Jackie Bush
(and many of those people who ski and haven't let me know as
yeti), have almost had their prayers answered at last.
Yes, yesterday morning snow fell once more in this h'yar Nit
tany Valley. Of course there isn't enough yet to carry these brave
souls down the seven hills but hopes are high and the wax is being
joyfully applied to the wooden slats.
And then there are those who really take this academic life
seriously and still aren't quite sure whether or not the recorder's
office and ye noble professors have rightfully given them the
honor of registering for another semester of Corner Room 300
and Psych 17.
Janie Slifer, who has been pulling her hair out and anxiously
waiting for that AChiO pin, will . no doubt be more than worthy of
it—next September. Janie's argument is that most mathematicians
know that you can move the decimal point in .98 over one place
and the result is a "1" average, but there seem to be too many
"higher ups" who don't agree with her! A fraction of a point means
a lot, says Janie, when it's the difference between a pledge pin and
an active pin!
Joe Dell, Mary Ann Itrepps and Janie Taylor were eager to
get back to register and start a new semester, but the icy roads
near the Autoport changed their minds for them. They skidded
and Joe's big shiny car turned over. Fortunately, however, they
weren't hurt, except for a few minor bruises.
After they had forced the "upper" door open and crawled
out, shaken up but happy to be alive, they were informed by
police how lucky they were. It seems a similar accident occurred
at the same place a couple of weeks before and the driver was
killed instantly.
If you have called the Gamma Phi Beta suite recently you no
doubt have heard the well rehearsed speech of their "lowly
pledges." It's a five minute recitation, but hold on, mister, and they
will be most happy to let you talk to one of the "most worthy
sisters!"
Nancy Shads and Marty Massing recently had an unwelcome
visitor in their room. No doubt if the poor fellow had a second
chance he would think twice before trying to sneak into Simmons.
The visitor was a little mouse who rctrk behind a stack of records
when Marty and Nancy began to scream.
Lois Flynn, who was nearby, came to the rescue and cor
nered the little fellow behind the records. Each time Lois pushed
the records in the corder the mouse squealed and Nancy began
to feel sorry for him.
In a few minutes, however, Lois felt a bit sorry for herself
as she turned around and said to the onlookers, "Hey, kids, what
do I do now—its eyes are popping out!" Soon, however, the vic
tim passed into eternity, popping eyes and all, and was disposed
of in the proper manner.

Nittany Lion Replica
An exact replica of the famed
Nittany Lion Statue is now avail
able to all Penn State alumni and
students. The miniature Nittany
Lion statuette is a perfect copy
as it was cast and finished by
Heinz Warnecke, the sculptor of
the original Lion Shrine.
Since the Nittany Lion has
long been the outstanding sym
bol in Penn State tradition and
the Lion Shrine is perhaps one
of the best known spots on the
campus, Mr: Warnecke thought
that the more sentimental stu
dents and alumni would like to
own a perfect miniature of the
beloved Lion.
The statuettes can be bought
through the Alumni Office for $6.

Ray M. Conger, of the School of Physical Education and Athletics,
was appointed today by James Milholland, acting president of the

The new committee is intended
to serve as a "clearing house" for
existing recreational activities, as
a consultant and advisor on new
activities, to promote the estab
lishment of new recreational
groups, and to help other agen
cies expedite some of their worth
while projects, such as the re
building of the Mountain Lodge.
Committee Members

Miss Ellamae Jackson, assistant
to the dean of women; Dan De
Marino, assistant dean of men;
Dean H. K. Wilson; Professors
Marjorie Allen, Thomas Bates,

Debaters Face

meet Annapolis in 121 Sparks at
8 p.m. today, to debate the af
firmative side of the topic, "Fed
eral Aid to Education." David
Barron and Richard Hill will
represent the College.
The Navy team, last year's na

1949, though twice defeated by
Penn State in the Old Dominion
Tournament last semester.
Dr. Seth W. Russell, assistant
dean of the School of Liberal
Arts, will act as chairman of the
debate, while Dr. Russell W.
Gilbert, of Susquehanna Univer
sity, will give a critic decision.
