Student Councils
This is the last in a series of stories to be published by the
Daily Collegian concerning the student councils of the various
schools of the College.
The PhyAi : , 1 Education Student Council is a student-elected
.): ., ;anization of the School of Physical Education, Health, and
It eereation.
The main purpose of the student council is to create an effective
liaison chain ht tween the students of the school and the faculty.
With this puri,ns:• in mind the class representatives as well as the
! , 11i:_•ers help gather deAred in
formation and see that it is re
layed to the pcnpk.r persons.

Campus Personalities
The Messrs. Hoffman and Clark
may not know it but there's a
fast-growing family of little cam
pus personalities who have been
living off the College for years
without being issued a matric
card or paying a cent.
Using the subterranean net
work of tunnels directly under
the campus as their winter quar
ters, this small army of chip
munks and squirrels emerge
with the coming of spring and
lives riotously and well as guests
of the school until the first snow.
Since the College was founded,
these engaging rodents have been
frolicking past classrooms in the
spring and summer months, com
pletely ignoring "Wear Out the
Walk" signs and maliciously dis
tracting the attention of entire
classes from dullish lectures by
their interesting displays of hand
springs and somersaults, much to
the disgust of professors with
classrooms on the first floor.
Unbelievably sleek and fat the
year round—sometimes even be
ing mistaken for young elephants
by bleary-eyed students in a
more credulous frame of mind—
the chipmunk colonists obtain
winter sustenance by stealing
workmen's lunches in their steam
heated underground domain.
The phenomenal size which
they are rumored to have attain
ed in pre-war days, however, will
not be reached again until next
fall—if there is any truth in the
legend that they used to eat some
of the smaller freshmen.
Physical Education
physical education. Along these
lines it tries to help the individual
qtudcnt be better prepared to as
sume his or her responsibility for
the citizens of tomorrow, and es
pecially the youth of tomorrow.
Present officers of the coun
cil are Horace Ashenfelter, presi
dent; Richard Wertz, vice presi
dent; Mary Lou Bower, secretary;
William Bowser, treasurer; Jane
McCormick and Harris Bragg,
senior class representatives;
Blanche Eyer and John Hager
man, junior class representatives:
and Evelyn Lanning and Richard
Kerber, sophomore class repre
sentatives.

Alpha Xi's Suite
'Not So Sweet'
Them's Eggs
Does anyone have a suggestion
on how to preserve seven dozen
eggs for a month and a half?
One sorority faces this prob
lem. The rains came and spoiled
the Carnival plans, but the Al
pha Xi's are more worried about
the spoiling of the prizes they
intended to give!
Fortunately, th e decorated
eggs are hard-boiled. But even
they are not tough enough to
stand the test of time. Not even
until the new, tentative date of
the Carnival, May 12.
A few solutiorys have been of
fered. Madly the Alpha Xi's seek
cold storage space. The girls
agree to sacrifice "coke" space in
the suite refrigerator to the ag
ing eggs. One bright sister sug
geted setting up a booth on the
Corner and auctioning the home
less creatures.
Meanwhile, the Alpha Xi's
"set and wait" in their not-too
sweet suite. And the eggs? Don't
look to the Chem labs for the
smell of sulfur. As Will so aptly
put it, "There's something rotten
in Simmons."

had maneuvered into the proper
position for any type shot.
Invariably this chalked up two
more points on the scoreboard.
If anyone doesn't believe that
possession basketball makes for
an exciting game. just find a team
(they are rare) that employs this
form. In such games you see real
court skill.
Of course, those people who
see no thrill in a no-hit or shut
out baseball game won't like this
type of basketball. They fail to
appreciate the under-the-surface
excitement which is displayed in
the sheer ability of the per
formers.
