'lsaac Waltons' Wade Into Streams Despite Snow, Sleet, and Pneumonia Next Friday morning, at 5:30, the raucous jangle of alarm clocks in homes throughout the state will usher in the opening day of the trout season. This day marks the end of win ter preparations and dreams of rushinig streams and full creels. It also reopens the charter of a select group known as "Fisher men's Widows." The Isaac Walton of the fam ily will leap from bed with such alacrity as to astonish his spouse who has fought a constant battle throughout the year to rouse her husband for work. The new fly rod, hip boots, boxes of lures and leader, bas kets, and nets will be bundled into the car and the trout addict will head for his favorite stream, come sun, snow or rain. Avoiding flying hooks and whistling lines, our hero will elbow his way through an army of anglers who line the banks and lash the creek to a froth. With gleaming eyes and an experi enced flick of the wrist, he drops a black gnat—right into a tree on the other side. His cold fin gers drop a new leader into the water, and in desperation, Mr. Walton wades into the stream— which fills his boots to the knees. Angst Shows Up He moves upstream and Passes through a woods. His net, a perverse device with a person ality all its own, dangles from his shoulder on an elastic strap. The seine catches on a tree and with terrific force snaps back, neatly catching our man behind - • • COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA to retain negatives of their en tries.

Engineer Cites Fluorescent Light The Penn State Engineer has brought to light many of the de tails of the construction and ad vantages of flourescent lighting in its latest issue which came out yesterday. A timely article is the descrip tion and explanation of the water tunnel which is under construc tion. The Dean's page contains an explanation of the engineer ing research now carried on at the College. The usual New Developments, photo page, talk of the campus, and Sly-Drools will also be found betw e en the covers of this month's Engineer. the ear. A trifle dazed, he cracks the tip of his pole against a tree. Blinded with rage, he kicks viciously at the ground, thereby perforating his boot on a stick. By this time Ike is in a danger ous mood, but the fact that the rain has changed to snow won't prevent him from reaching his favorite "hole." However, he dis covers eight other avaricious anglers have beat him, and are arguing whether a trout's lower lip can be stretched to make the legal six inches. Noon finds Ike nigh to ex haustion and ready to admit it's a bad day. He's used every lure in his bag of tricks and now self consciously threads a lowly gar den worm on his hook. First Strike Results. A swirl of water and a flash announce the first trout of the day. Before he can re-cast, however, a loud splashing be hind announces the arrival of a stranger. This brazen fellow sidles up to Ike, and with a loud clunk draws a spinner through the riffle. Wham! Mr. Stranger has a strike, and after a nice fight, nets 18 inches of rainbow trout—right from between our hero's boots. Ike is tired and retreats to the bank where he tosses in the line and rests the rod on a prong. His intent eyes never leave the line, which in turn never makes a twitch. It can't. It's frozen in the guides. Half the afternoon is spent in drying socks, patching boots, and cursing the weather which has Easter Rabbits Here, Bring Their Cheer— Vacation's Near If Elmer Fudd should stop you and say, "Did anybody see a dabbit?" you can direct him to Temporary Building. For there, in the center courtyard, a mother wabbit?" you can direct him to are preparing for the Easter sea son. Students taking class in Temp get their in-between-class diver sion by watching the little fam ily. According to one amateur ob server of the rabbit life at the College, the main activities of this group are sleeping and sharpen ing their claws. But anyway you look at them, these rabbits are a pleasant re minder that Ea st e r vacation starts tomorrow. Reen Collegian Summer Editor Jack M. Reen has been named editor and Kosti J. Bargas busi ness manager of the Summer Collegian, said Lewis Stone, edi tor of the Daily Collegian. Summer Collegian will be pub lished throughout the main sum mer session. If possible, it will be issued twice a -week, instead of weekly, as has been the prac tice in recent years.

He is editor-in-chief of the Stu dent Handbook, and will serve as College editor of the 1949-1950 La Vie, He is secretary of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity, and a member of the symphony orches tra and Blue Key, junior men's activities honorary.

As the day draws to a close, Ike decides to have a last fling. This time he is rewarded and hauls in a nice brookie. With fiendish glee Ike pounces on it, turning it this way and that, and measuring its 12 inches several times. With infinite care, it's placed in the basket on top of lines, spinners, leaders, and the can of worms. Returns Home Upon reaching home, he is met by his wife, who is shocked by her husband's disheveled appear ance. His hat is gone, his boots make a squishy sound when he walks, the net dangles crazily from the frayed cord, and he shivers with cold. With nary a word, he carefully lays the trout, now shrunk to 10 inches, on the table and heads for a hot tub. Results for the day: one cracked rod, a ruined net, count less hooks and flies still hanging from trees and submerged logs, torn boots, and a head cold. Plus one trout, that will grow in length for the next two years. And how about his physical condition? His nervous tension is gone. In fact, Ike's nerves are completely shot. His indigestion is so bad he can't eat for two days. But he has communed with the outdoors, and is full of na ture. So full, in fact, that he can't get up for work the next day. But he loves it, and so, on Fri day, thousands of Ike Waltons will stalk the streams in search of finny thrills, braving snow, sleet, and pneumonia.
