Pledges Apply Paint
To Hospital Kitchen
By GEORGE GLAZER
Something new in the way of
fraternity "Hell Weeks" has been
added this year.
Deviating from the usual pranks
committed during this time of the
year, Phi Sigma Delta sent 12 of
its 23 pledges to Bellefonte to
paint the hospital kitchen as part
of their duties.
Under direction of Morton Snit
zer, president of Phi Sig, arrange
ments were made with Miss Elea
nor Ann Brown, director of the
hospital, for the work group to
start their task Wednesday . night
and finish it Friday morning.
Snitzer, president of Skull and
Bbnes, men's honorary, and all-
College clique chairman of the
Lion party, undertook the project
with the idea of putting his
pledges to work at something con
structive. In accordance with this
policy the pledges not journeying
to Bellefonte work around the
house—building cabinets, shelves
Rabbit Rues Roaming;
Jaunt Brings Tragedy
Rapid
3-Mile
By JUNE REINMILLER
An unsuspecting cottontail,
whose life .was stopped short by
a hunter's bullet this game sea
son, will never know it broke a
record for its species.
The unwary rabbit travelled
three miles from one point
much farther than the usual
quarte,( mile for the hoppers
according to David Arnold, gradu
ate student, who is conducting a
survey in conjunction with the
Pennsylvania Wildlife Research'
Unit on the campus.
The program, directed by Dr.
Ward M. Sharp and Dr. P. F.
English, was set up to determine
how many rabbits are killed by
hunters, automobiles, foxes, and
other enemies of the animal
Arnold trapped, and tagged 122
different rabbits between Aug.
23 and Nov. 1 covering 80 acres
around the College farm.
When the hunting season be
gan, notices were posted on tree
trunks and other conspicuous
stations asking anyone who
caught a tagged rabbit to place
the tag in a tin can which had
been tacked below the notice. By
doing this, the research students
could determine how, far the ro
dent travelled and in what man
ner it was killed.
Arnold stressed that it is a
great aid in his study when the
tags are turned in, and asks all
student hunters who kill one of
the rabbits to put the tag in the
can provided or to hand it in
at Room 206, Forestry Building.
J. B. Hamilton shot the them
pion wanderer, a female, on the
Spotts farm three miles from the
College farm. George Shelley of
Alpha Tau Omega returned the
tags of two rabbits he shot.
Seventy-five yellow-tailed rab
bits also were let loose , on the
farm. Arnold dyed their tails with

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLIDE, PENNSYLVANIA
and other useful fixtures
The 12 pledges, wor king in
shifts of six each, arrived at the
hospital at 9 p.m. and worked un
til 5 a.m. the next morning.
The workers were driven to and
from Bellefonte by one of the
members of the fraternity.
The pledges themselves were
inclined to be enthusiastic over
the whole project, reasoning, as
one did, that "as long as we can't
sleep, we might as well do some
thing worthwhile."
Miss Brown felt that the whole
idea was "wonderful," but she
still felt sorry for the boys them
selves, who were "too tired to eat
when we gave them breakfast."
Apparently the boys did them
selves proud while working, for
they labored in almost absolute
silence. One outburst of noise
could have ended the project then
and there. Misp Brown agreed to
the proposal only on the condi
lion that the patients would not
be disturbed.
picaric acid so that observers
would recognize that rabbit as
one in the survey, although the
metal tag was not visible.
A similar survey is being .con
ducted with squirrels. Corn plant
ed on the College farm this near
attracted numerous gray squir
rels. Last year when clover •was
planted in the same field there
were almost none,
