E;. , Pan-American ~ Day Tilt Elaitg $ ( 0::: :.-:., Tottrgiatt Partly Cloudy Fiesta at TUB and Mild / "TOR A BETTER PENN STATE" VOLUME 49-NUMBER 47 Senior's Divide $B,OOO Gift Between Co-op, Student Press In the final tabulation of the voting for the senior class gift, the proposal to divide the $BOOO between the student co-op and the planned student press won by 128 votes over giving the entire amount to the press fund. Terry Ruhlman, president of the senior class, announced the results of the balloting after allowing time for the postcards mailed up to the Friday midnight dead line to be counted. Of the seniors already graduated, 45% voted by mail, and in addition, 42% of the seniors on campus made their selections. 1032 Vote A total of 458 seniors cast their votes for the proposal to give the co-op $2OOO and contribute the remaining $6OOO to the student press, while 330 favored allocat ing the entire $BOOO to the press. The proposals to set aside the whole amount for the establish ment of a memorial gate and to split the money between the gate and the student press each re ceived 122 votes, thus giving, a total of 1032 votes cast. The $2OOO sum for the co-op will be used to enlarge the facili ties and stocks of the present establishment, and possibly to ease or supplement the cabinet subsidy now being used. Possible Addition The student press fund, riow in creased to $12,500 by the $6OOO increment to last year's graduat ing class gift of $6,500, may be augmented by a further addition of $4OOO from the sinking fund of the Daily Collegian, Inc. The total of 16,500 is still short of the $25,000 estimated to be necessary for the purchase of equipment for the proposed student press.

STATE COLLEGE, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 12, 1949 Might this be the juvenile phase of the "new look," you ask? Or at least a Penn State version? Call it what you like. There is actually no reason behind little Suzan's "new look" except that one night her sitters (you know, people who baby-sit) wanted to take some pictures. Mr. and Mrs. Victor Adams, the sitters, decid ed to use Suzan as their subject. So they dressed her up, ob viously mostly with someone else's clothes, put a beer mug in one hand, an umbrella in the oth er, a derby on her head, and you see their result. By the way, Suzan's last name is Burmester, she's three years old, and lives in Spring Lea Park, Bellefonte. ' Her father, Heinze, is a junior in EE. Take it easy, you guys, she's got a date for Senior Ball.
