PAGE TWO Houck Drive Sentimental aspects of life are often what make it livable and worth enjoying. What’s more, they often pack a punch. Witness the letter sent this week to Herbert Axford, chair man of the drive for the Leo Houck Fund for Cancer Research. Postmarked Harrisburg and written in an immature scrawl, it’s from a boy who heard > there was a Leo Houck Cancer drive at Penn State. He writes: "Dear Sir I wish to donate a doller to fight cancer I saw' in the Harrisbug paper that you had star a fund to fight cancer. I an giving the doller in the menory of the Great Leo Houck. I an a Penn Stale fam. I hope Penn ' State will win the boxing titly. Your truly John Weaver." Anybody who has a spark of the sentimental will certainly be touched to the quick by this letter, which points up strikingly the tragic death by cancer of Coach Leo “Fred” Houck, •the hot-stove philosopher whose “Fred” has be come a Lion watchword, and underscores the plea for student contributions in the drive which, ends today. Safety Valve... Veteranitos Fever TO THE EDITOR: I am writing this letter not to support hny group or organization, but to air my views on that person who classifies himself as a veteran. Might we clarify the name now. /By veteran, I do not mean those' real honest to goodness war veterans, but those “world owes me a living veterans.” Those veterans who got into the service after the war was over and quickly absorbed the veteraniios fever. They are the ones on campus who are constantly grip ing about everything. They’re not loyal to any school and are constantly finding fault with Penn State. They gripe about the town, school, classes, professors, about living conditions, and fellow students., In short, they’re professionals. They offer the excuse that when they’re griping, they’re happy. What a fallacy! It’s no wonder that people say, “those veterans, when they’re gone, we’ll have the real college student.” Well, might I add that they didn*t say that to the real crop of veterans who were battle scarred and worn, yet who came to college and made their presence a blessing to the College. Their records here are something for the books! \ It’s about time that these small time veterans wake up and start living. Living before the ax of reality falls on their necks. —Straight Shooter • Name Withheld Sttj* Smlg Collegian B«ee«o6*c f THE FREE LANCE, #*t» 188?

Those “Coke” ads that have been featuring college newspapers and scenes in student hangouts around the country spirited a camera into the.candy emporium and came up with a neat shot of pinball machines arid magazines. The ad, missed the essence of the muscu lar madhouse, however.' There were no football players running through maneuvers. Guests at Monday night’s Sigma Delta Chi Gridiron Banquet enjoyed the show on the stage but they missed a better one in the dressing cubbyhole off stage. , About 17 members of the professional journalism fraternity stepped on, pushed, slugged, and assaulted each other for two and- a half hours, changing costumes in a floor space 5 feet by 10 feet. * * * Ever hear about the graduating senior who was bragging about his new job. “I’ll have more than 200 people under me,” he said. “I’m going to mow lawns in a cemetery.” * ♦ * Much has been said about complicated newspaper proof symbols and the like, but it remained for Collegian sophomore boarder Pat Nutter to come up with the gem of the year. Heading the galley proofs as they come off the linotypes are the initials of the linotype operators. This facilitates returning proofs for corrections. The young lady in question was quite puzzled when “p 6” ap peared at the top of the galley she was reading. Searching diligently ’ among the other proofs for a similar notation, she finally resorted to asking one of the operators if he was p 6. Whereupon the budding journalist was told that in this case it meant page six and the operator doubted if he was to be found in ' the shop. With The Staff NOW!
