As the football season ap
proaches, the Lion Shrine is once
again in danger of being painted
by bands of over-enthusiastic
fans from Penn State’s rivals.
Last year, for the first time
since the shrine was erected,
pledges of Pi Lambda Phi kept
it from being painted before a
home game with Temple. This
year the pledges will again try
to thwart plans of any Lion foes
by guarding the shrine, in four
Shifts of three hours each, from
9 p.m. Friday to 8 a.m. Saturday.
Captain Phillip Mark, of the
campus patrol, has assured the
Pi Lambda Phi’s that they will

The Lion Shrine, erected in
1941' by the class of 1940, has
been subjected to paintings so
many times that as a result of
these attacks, it was covered with
a wax substance to keep the paint
from seeping into the pores in
the stone. Even this, however,
could not stop the maple house
paint with which it was doused
last semester from going deep
into the stone. This coating caused
much experimentation and hard
work by the physical plant in
attempts to remove it.

Fouled-Up Freshman
Finds Feminity Fun
Prexy Speaks
Of Inadequate
School System
HARRISBURG, Sept. 27—(^>) —
Pennsylvania educators were told
tonight by President Milton S.
Eisenhower, that America spends
“much too much on non-essen
tials”, but that in comparison fa
cilities of 'the public school sys
tem are inadeauate.
He noted in an address to the
state education congress that the
number of school age children is
on the increase. But, he added,
the facilities of the public school
system as a whole are not ade
quate, either in quality or quan
tity.
“In some areas the" inadquacy
is downright pitiful,” President
Eisenhower said. “Many schools
are improverished and they lack
teaching personnel and equip
ment essential to the, vital job
of modern education.”'
Since taxes are now too high,
Eisenhower said “discriminating
judgment” must be used in gov
ernment spending. Opposing cen
tral control of education, he sug
gested that federal assistance
should be limited “to areas where
the economic structure is clearly
too weak to meet, minimum edu
cational standards' through local
'and state co-operation.”
“Education is still, as Jeffer
son said, the fundamental sup
port of the American system and
its needs cannot—must-not-bq
denied,” he told the educators.
Dr. Samuel W. Blizzard" Jr.,
associate professor of sociology
and rural sociology, was elected
secretary treasurer of the Rural
Sociological Society at sessions
held earlier this month at the
University of Wisconsin.
FRIE|A¥, SI
By MILLIE MARTIN
Advice to freshmen—“lf you
want to have fun, break customs
and get dolled up as a girl.”
That’s" a tip from Stanley “Bud”
Rackley, veteran customs breaker,
who was caught talking to a
frosh coed last week.
Rackley, now dressed in a
multi-colored striped jersey and a
blue and white striped cotton
skirt, was sentenced to wear the
woman’s outfit, complete with
green hairbow, by Tribunal Tues
day night. He .-must continue to
wear his laugh-provoking attire
until next Thursday.
Gets Razzing
“I’m enjoying it immensely
and having lots of fun, because
everybody, gets a big laugh out
of it,” Rackley said good-natur
edly about his predicament. He
said he’s been asked for dates,
but declines for he doesn’t want
to break customs again. The fel
lows in his .Nittany dorm don’t
tease • him too much, he said.
However, he added, he gets quite
a razzing in the mess hall.
Coed Old Friend
This customs violator doesn’t
have to observe all the women’s
rules, just those of dress and curt
sying. Upperclass women may
haze him, but so far, he said, only
two have done so. Evidently they
don’t know the rules, he said.
Rackley . borrowed the skirt
from the coed he was caught
talking to; the .shirt is his own,
and the ribbon he bought at the
BX. He wouldn’t disclose th e
name of the co.ed because, he
doesn’t want to incriminate her.
He said he has .known her since
he was a sophomore in high
school.
Not Enough Hazing
A music education major, from
Irwin, Rackley said that if he had
seen the hatmen coming, he never
would have been caught—unless
of course, the guy just happened
to be a track man.
Along with many fellow fresh
men, he said he feels there is not
enough hazing. He doesn’t see
much sense in having customs at
all.
Rackley is a clarinetist in the
Blue Band and will wear his uni
form to Saturday’s football game
instead of his outstanding cos
tume. He said he wouldn’t mind
wearing his feminine outfit, but
it wouldn’t look too well.
