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.

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.

The Daily Collegian, and Graham’s, too, finally appeared in’ the
Daily Collegian (issue of April 18).
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.
