Foolish Coed
Fools Around
Perhaps the only institutions
for which the Russians do not
claim origination are sex arid
April Fools' day, although' the
former, we understand, is next
in line.
It has been rumored that
April Fools' day is a Penn State
original. It seems that the first
coed ever to date a man on cam
pus was blessed- with the name
April. Since April was first to
fool around, we comemorate her
sad folly on the most appropri
ate date. .
Another .version to do with the
Penn State origin seems to be that
on days such as these, from way
back.mthen, Penh Staters would
stand around on corners and say,
"Look, Spring is here." Natural
ly they were fools, and it just
so happens that• more fools used
to gather on corners and say
"Look, ect." on' April 1 than
any other day, so they balled it
April Fool's day.
