Egli- AOl7 hoop, giving Army a two-pointer and sending them ahead by one point at the half. Egli recalls, "John Lawther and I had quite a heated conversation during half-time. The only trouble was that John did all the talking and I did all the listening." • FUNNY SPOT An incident involving Head Coach Elmer Gross sticks in inind as one of the funniest things he ever saw on a basketball court. "Perhaps I shouldn't tell this," he grinned, "but," Gross gained a rebound from the opposing board, dribbled out a few steps, and evidently confused, took a shot at the wrong bas ket. Coach Lawther screamed a salty phrase from the bench in tended to let Gross know that he had very definitely done the wrong thing. Fortunately Gross missed the shot and gained the ball before anyone else had a chance to get it. As he started back down the floor, he dribbled over close to the Penn State bench, and practic ally thrusting his finger under Lawther's nose, retorted, "Ha, I fooled you, didn't I? You thought I was going to make it!" Egli chose as the toughest player he ever met in college compe. tition, Rudy Baric of West Virginia. One of the smoothest ball players he ever encountered in the pro circles was 6 foot 6 inch "Goose" Tatum, star with the Harlem Globe Trotters. He considers as, two of the greatest players he ever saw, Charley Halbert of West Texas State and Andy Philips, one of the famed "Whiz Kids" of Illinois. Both these teams participated in the same NCAA basketball tournament with Penn State in 1942. Scheduling Time Again Student Union Handles Heavy Flow of Items Students Lose "People are honest," _asserts George Donovan, 'manager of Stu dent Union in charge of the lost and found department. For evidence he points to a list of 109 articles which have been returned to the proper owners during the' first two months of this semester. Among the restored possessions were: 20 textbooks, 13 wallets, 8 raincoats, 8 pieces of jewelry, 8 fountain pens, 7 pairs of glasses; 7 handbags, 6 slide rules, 3 pen cils, 3 notebooks. Three, folders, .2 pairs , of gloves, 2 scarves, :4 wristwatches. 4 keys, 2 coats, 1 card case', 1 bank book, 1 hat, 1 umbrella, 1 GI check; 1 glasses case, 1' AA. book, 1 sweat er, 1 registration card, and 1 ma triculation card. Total value of the, articles was estimated at $1,120.35 Advises Students Mr. Donovan advises students to put their names and addresses on all valuables. Otherwise lost articles will not be returned to claimants. With proper identi fication, the department is able to send the owner a post card in forming him that they have re ceived the lost object. Only eye glasses and similar articles which the loser can describe specifically as his own will be restored. Mr. Donovan pointed out that the few days preceding vacations is the period when most thefts are noticed. The lost and found depart ment, originally conducted by the Campus Patrol and later trans ferred to Student Union, aims both to • prove - that many things are lost rather than stolen and to promote honesty among the flnderS.

All un claimed goods are sent to the Sal vation Ariny Alioona" in .Tune., A survey conducted by the de partment and published by Time magazine some time ago, repudi ated the adage that professors are more absent-minded. They de bunked the idea by comparing the number of students and profes sors who made claims at the win dow. Regarding the, ratio of the two groups on campus, .they were able to show that , students not only far exceeded their profes sors' claims, but produced more "repeaters" at the desk. 7 Skull and Bones May Join National Skull and Bones, senior men's activities honorary 'is making plans join the national organi zation • of Skull and Bones this year accordihg to Morton Snitzer, president of the organization." However before any action can be taken; the members must de cide if the requiremehts of the national organization will inter fere with local activities. Snitzer said that a cross section of the Men seems to feel that the Col lege needs another' national men's honorary since Blue Hy is the only one on the campus at the preseht time. . „ Scholarships, Awards Offered To Students by All Schools Here's The 'Perne Pedestal, Popular :amera Prop, Will Get New Sundicti Did you ever notice the little stone pedestal on front-campus, situated half way between the . front steps of Old Main and the flag• poles? Probably hundreds of students pass it daily—without knowing its. significance:. The The pedestal was built in 1915 as a sundial base and was one of the graduating class gifts of that year. • . The pedestal and its" siindial were very much in the limelight at class day exercises in 1915. H. Vigor, Cranston,. a student,„dedi dated the structure. Thi.4 speech was previously known as the "ivy' oration," but in that year. , was appropriately changed 'to the "sundial oration." :‘, For 16 years the base thas.been without. a. sundial.. It was •in 1933, after the gnomon. "(pointer) had been broken three times, _that the sundial was finally removed; The studs-which held the dial - are still embedded in the. pedestal, and presumably a new dial could be installed without too much dif ficulty. Ingenious students have fOurid a new use for this: structure: ..it makes an excellent prop on which to pose favorite subJects lor snap shots, with Old Main as: an • im pressive backdrop. , The stone, base, however, will soon have a more permanent top ping than a smiling co-ed, for the class .of 1915, through the efforts of Wayne W. Weaver, has decided to replace the sundial. This will be the second , cam pus landmark which alumnikave offered to repair. The first was a plague donated by Mitchell Stern, 1 '25, on the •boulder commemorat ing the old Stone Quarry. • Scholarship CO' Offered by IFC Interfraternity Couneil will award a scholarship cup to tile fraternity which showed the g r eat es t scholastic improve ment during the spring semester.
