The Alpha Epsilon Phi's "Get ting Gertie's Garter" should pro vide relief for the customers weary from the long climb up the hill. Those disgusted souls who fail to get a garter can take out their wrath by throwing ping ponA balls at the Phi Kappa Psi's right next door. Musclemen If the musclemen have any de sire to display their powers to the weaker sex, Club 51 will provide the hammer and nails with which to do it. Could be the gals may show the fellows up though.

Personalised Baloons Last but not the least, at the top of the hill is the Leonides booth complete with lassos to throw at the young ladies. Per sonalized balloons will reward the successful. After a short stop to catch their breath and check on gains and losses, the carnival crowd can begin the easier down hill tour of the booths opposite the ones they have already vis ited. At the top of the street on the right is the Beta Theta Pi booth, complete with horse races and odds. Most people are just human enough to get a thrill out of see ing their names in headlines and for these the Daily Collegian will be glad to oblige. Whether the customer wants to be newly el ected All-College president or Queen of the May, the Collegian will have the headline and the people to put it into print. Fortune - Telling For those who didn't believe the Alpha Phi Delta's forecast for their future, the Kappa Delta's will try to provide better news or at least additional news at their fortune-telling concession. Just in case customers don't want their fortune told the KD's will also have turtle races to amuse. Further down the hill the Phi Mu's will entertain with ten nis balls to be thrown at Humpty Dumpty. Penn State Club believes in variety and to prove it their booth will feature a weight gues sing game, a roullette wheel and a cork gun range.

If carnival goers are not successful here they can try the dart throwing game at the Theta Phi Alpha - Phi Kappa booth along side. Pie - Throwing The pie supply in State College may be a little low after all the carnival customers have visited the pellet Chi pie throwing booth, especially those gooey custard creams. The Sigma Pi's next door to the Delta Chi's hope to avoid enough of the flying pie to award cigarettes to those who knock them down with pop guns. Kap pa Kappa Gamma will be able to satisfy the golf pros as well as those with a sweet tooth as they reward the able golfers with can dy bars at the Kappa "Goofy Golf." Colored chickens will run wide about the Alpha Xi Delta booth while the Alpha Xi's try to corral them for their "Pick, a- Chick" gambling games.

Follow the crowd to the Alpha Tau Omega "Follow the Mouse" booth and just in case the ladies are squeemish about the mice, they are enclosed in a ring. Most of the men will want to avoid the Pi Kappa Alpha kissing booth but for the ladies it should prove a worthy stop on the long walk back to College avenue. They can all get together again, however at the "Dunka- Theta-Chi" booth. Baseball Booth After getting a balloon at the "Daisy Mae and Shmoo" booth, sponsored by Zeta Tau Alpha the next spot to hit is the Delta Up silon baseball booth, and then the "Put Out the Lights" entry of the Association of Independent Men. The lights to be extinguished are those in Ath Hall. Sounds in triguing! Nearing the end of the line, the carnival crowd will discover there is still plenty of fun to be had. There's the Sigma Phi Epsi lon "Ring a Bell" game to test strength and muscle power and next to the SPE's, the Alpha Zeta "Douse-the-Dopes" with the use of water pistols.

Freaks Unveiled 'Wonder of the World are promised by Lambda Chi Alpha and those weary of walking the street and playing games will be content to watch the freaks unveiled by the Lambda Chi's. After hours of games, shows and what-not the carnival customer will reach the end of the line at the "Bowl-a-Bucket" booth of the Alpha Sigma Phi's where a di rect strike wil duck a pledge. No matter which end of the Carnival grounds the tour begins at; fun, excitement, and prizes are forecast for all. After the last booth closes at 10 p.m. the only thing left to do is wait until the carnival comes back to town again next year. Expert --- Continued from page one chemists under the late Dean Frank C. Whitmore. Rocket Fuel Interest in recent years has centered on the chemistry of hy drazine, because of that com pound's potential value as one of the most useful fuels yet devel oped for either jet or rocket pro pulsion. It is used in mixture with either liquid oxygen or con centrated hydrogen peroxide. and its only disadvantage is the relatively high cost of manufac ture. Hydrazine is a weaker base than ammonia and forms a var iety of salts. Lik e ammonia, it also can be considered as the par ent compound of a system of ac ids, bases and saltii, The field of nitrogen chemistry is a distinctive field which bridg es the gap between inorganic and oreanic chemistry, continued the Vienna-born chemist. Perhaps it is time for the nitrogen chemist to divorce himself from both of these two accepted fields and to label himself specifically a "ni trogen chemist."

Outstanding Senior Men ,This is the second of a series of articles concerning prominent senior men who have proved themselves outstanding in one or more fields of activity at the College.) Another outstanding senior taking a big part in Spring Carnival is Abram Bosler. Bosler is co-chairman of the Carnival and stated that one of his main hopes is to see it become an annual event. Student government has been Bosler's greatest interest at the College and the one which he has participated in and enjoyed the most. In the way of student gov ernment activities, Bosler stated that being president of the Chem i,try and Physics Student Colin serving on All-College Cab inet and as clique chairman of the State party have been the most enlightening positlons he has held. "I feel that student government is probably one of the most im portant aspects of a student's life at Penn State", Bosler said, "and taking part in student government activities is one way of training a student to be a better citizen after graduation." While serving on All-College Cabinet, Bosler was chairman of the Cabinet Re- vision commit- . tee. He was also chairman of the Student AgencyVt • op': committee and the Junior Prom committee. Bos ler is now a member of the ." Senior Ball com- . - . mittee and the Student Agency Board of Con- trot.

Further information con cerning similar projects to be conducted this summer can be obtained by contacting the PSCA office, 304 Old Main.) As told to the Daily Collegian by Jean Foulkrod, a member of the American Friends Ser vice Committee work camp in Maine last summer. To outsiders the town of Howe land, Maine, is a point at the junction of two rivers, a place where trees and industries flour; ish, where one finds some houses, stores and a firehouse. But to those of us who worked there last summer, Howland is a per sonality and an activity. The two largest industries in the town are the paper pulp mill and a plywood corporation. In connection with these industries a great many men are employed to cut and haul timber. The out standing need in this small in dustrial town was a recreational program. There was almost noth ing in the way of entertainment that captured the interest or en ergy of the young people. Farsighted Men, Women Some of the more farsighted men and women of the community formed a committee and request ed help from the Ameri-:ari Friends Service Committee. Our group was the answer to this re quest. We devoted our efforts to working with the Summer Rec reational Committee of Howland to develop their recreational pro gram. Every Monday night we had teen-age dances. Tuesday eve ning was game night. The adult dances usually took place on Fri day nights. Everybody enjoyed the community sings which were held toward the end of the pro grams. Refreshments at these functions were sold by the Girl Scout Troop which we had or ganized. An extensive playground program was developed for the interests of the younger children; there were supervised activities every morning. Dancing an d swimming classes were organiz ed, along with basketball and baseball for the older boys. Cooperation We could not have done all these things without the on-going cooperation of the town commit tee. It was a grand example of citizens who recognize that they can do something about their own community problems instead of waiting for aid from the national or state government. Certainly all of the members of our group learned a great deal and derived deep satisfaction from the fellow ship we had with one another and with the people of the town of Howland. Every activity was insured of success because of the young peo ple's ardent interest and partic ipation. The large attendance at all affairs indicated that they would become regular events dur ing the winter and spring seasons. We all were indeed sad to end the summer's program because it was really fun for all parties con cerned.
