PAGE TWO Feb. 11 Stew Feature Homer Barr pinning his man to a wrestling mat laid out atop a registration table! Picture the Draz or Johnny Bolger land ing a solid left tci, the jaw in a Rec Hall boxing ring surrounded not by howling bleacherites but by empty tables left from second-semester registration earlier iri the day. THROUGH A conflict in fixing the College calendar and in scheduling athletic 'events, We now have slated for Feb. 11 in Rec Hall these events Second day of second-semester regiiira lion, 8 a.m. to 12 noon and 1 to 5 p.m. Varsity fencing at 2 p.m. with Temple. Varsity wrestling at 2 p.m. with Syracuse. Junior varsity boxing at 7 p.m. with Syra cuse. Varsity boxing at 8:30 p.m. with Syracuse. College officials in charge' inform us that it would take at least five hours to clear out registration equipment and erect bleachers in Rec Hall. So, let's add to the Rec Hall agenda for Feb. 11 a five-hour factor to allow work men to operate. STIR THE FEB. 11 program well in one big pot. Salt with the fact that _College administra tors dislike the Feb. 10 and 11 registration choice because it means difficulty in complet ing student transcripts in time. PEPPER WITH the fact that athletic officials contracted for the Feb. 11 sports events one full year before Feb. 10 and 11 registration was decided finally by the College Senate, which rules in such matters. ADD TO THE POT a little tart in the form of possible adverse publicity for the College if it were forced to cancel outright the Feb. 11• sports events contracted for a year ago. (One, the wrestling meet, is with last year'•s Eastern team champ). Flavor with the fact that the College Sen ate has already turned down a request from the Council on Administration to move regis tration back to Monday and Tuesday; Feb. 13 and 14, so• as to facilitate transcript handling: SPICE IT WITH THIS: All-College Cabinet, highest student government agency, will ask the College Senate this week to move registra tion back to Feb. 13 and 14 tirovided it does not add days at semester's end, or—as an alter native—forward to Thursday and Friday, Feb. 9 and 10. STIR WELL AGAIN and you have a con fusing stew. What will , come out of all this won't be known till next Thursday when the College Senate again meets. Chances seem slim that Cabinet's wishes on the Feb. 13 and 14 dates will be granted, since these dates have already been turned down by the Senate. These dates would dis rupt second-semester, classes ilated both days. ,Chances seem equally slim at this point that registration will be moved forward, because transcripts are a necessary item for processing many students at registration. Moving registra tion forward would make it even more diffi cult for the deans , to secure them. All of which leaves us with Homer Barr pinning his man to a wrestling mat laid 'out _ atop a registration table on Feb. 11. Your guess is as good as ours. Safety Valve ... False Logic TO THE EDITOR: It is interesting to note that All-College Cabinet's refusal to grant the Blue Band the $144 necessary to send 14 of its members to the Intercollegiate Band Festival was based on the assumption that Blue Band is primarily departmental activity. It is also interesting to note that the Cabinet granted $367 for Soccer Team awards. There seems to be a great deal of false logic connected with the above actions. If Blue Band, _ which draws its members from seven of the eight schools in this college, is to be considered as departmental, then the same logic would seem to indicate that the Soccer Team is also. a departmental activity. The all-or-nothing principle of fund distri bution would seem to me to be one which needs correction. I whole heartedly agree with the' allocation of funds for Soccer Team awards, but believe that Blue Band is worthy of the same consideration. After all, both organizations represent Penn State on an inter-collegiate basis and both organizations embody members from many departments of the. college. The action of Cabinet was illogical and grossly unfair to those who have worked to make Blue Band a crizclit to this college. —Ralph J. Egolf Jr. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE.

The .G ripes of Roth Eight young ladies on the ground floor of Simmons Hall prob ably have more to do' with fostering and maintaining campus ro mances than all the arrows Cupid. carries around in the qiiiver on his nekkid back. THEY'RE THE GIRLS with the extremely unromatic, but necessary, job of pushing plugs into the switchboard to complete calls to and from the dormitories. Contrary to what Ron Bonn probably thinks about the dorm operators, they're not sadists whose end aim in life is to frustrate ardent swains or prevent the successful completion of calls to the outside world. • They're all very human, very understanding, but at times very overworked. The one I talked to is a junior and the wife of an ex.:G.I who is on "Sane Sex Life's" mailing list. Therefore, she probably knows as much about love as the 5051 dialers who think 'she's trying to undermine their, wooing efforts. r • • • WHEN SHE, or any of the other Bell octet, crowd onto.R line to remind certain parties it's 10 p.m„ it's merely the rules tho are required to enforce. There's nothing personal involved. • Despite, their seeming safety in the pseudo-Georgian archi tectural masterpiece, the job has its vocational hazards. More often than might be supposed, the fellow calling a coed in the )dorm forgets his purpoie when he hears the sweet voice saying. "dormi tory." Not uncommonly, she finds herself fending off verbal mush on the wire, rather than, connecting the Romeo with his supposed true lois. On the other hand, when one of the boys gets riled about a 10 or 15 second delay, cooing words are displaced by epiphets which would hardly be condoned by the Junior Church League. ' In respect to hook and receiver . courtesy, the girls are bigger offenders than the men, 'according to my informant. Apparently some of the Tenn State misses haven't grown out of the "I want what .I want .when I want it," stage.. optE OF THE switchboard' operators' biggest' gripes is the flagrant misuse of room service, which is permissible until 1?. noon daily. Calls from.room 140' to 141 in the same dormitory sometimes drake the College employees wonder whether all the fashionable young misses at this institution were granted the 'quota of two legs the Creator divvied 'out. ' While "operating" isn't the most eventful job in the world, it does have its interesting and amusing moments. Occasionally, when the operators cut in on local calls to make way for a long distance communication, they overhear choice bits of mare-female romancing. • But for, the.most part it's a routine affair, the girls not even being able to watch the fires, etc., they connect the calls for.

What is the mineral of the week? John Gaus, curator of the mineral industry museum, has instituted a program to acquaint mineral industry stu dents with the Dana system of classifying min erals. Since this week's mineral is no longer a secret it can be identified. It is a piece of Barite from England. It all came out in a History 40 discussion of Milton, English poet of the seventeenth cen tury. Research brought out the fact that Mil ton wrote "Paradise Lost" after he married his second wife, and penned "Paradise Re gained" after she died.
