Students Place
in {Canoe Race
Four College students took third
and fourth places in the canoe
races held on the Susquehanna
River Saturday, in connection
With the Flaming Foliage Festi
val in Bucktail State Park.
In the senior canoe race, .Fred
Wessman and Clifton Fry, repre
senting the Pi Kappa Alpha fra
ternity, finished third, and Lin
coln Warrell and Edward Makov
sky, came in fourth.
Makovsky' said that he and
Warrell entered the. race “for
kicks.” Because the river was So
low, the race was cut from ,40 to
28 miles, and many, hazards; Were
created. “We had to carry' the
canoe around portages for a total
distance of two or three miles,”
he said. The difficulty of -the
course was illustrated by the fact
that the winners, repeat victors
froin last year, took six, hours to
Complete the 28 mile course as
Compared to five hours to cover
last year’s 40-mile course.
Though he lost seven pounds,
MakovskV' said he would like to
do it again. .
Customs Features
Reviewed by Frosh
Customs come but once a year, &nd when they eohie, they bring'
good cheer. This seeing to be the concensus bf opinion among fresh
men Who Were asked “What do you think of customs, now that
they are over?” - '
Ronald MOlga&fd, Nittarty Dorms, said "Customs were good for
leamihg songs and eheers, and
they instilled spirit within the
freshmen.”
Ro 2 Coplan, Thompson Hall,
thought that they afe good, ,be
cause “we got to know more peo
ple that way and were able to get
into the swing of things.”
Shirley Christie) of McAllister
Hall, felt “Customs are all right
to a certain extent. During the
week, they should be enforced,
but oh Weekends, We Should have
been allowed to .date.”
''Customs Should Re Shorter"
Many freshmen believe customs
are a good idea, but they should
be more strongly enforced in a
shorter period of tiih e. Clyde
Longenecker, Hamilton Hall, said
“Customs should be-enforced for
two weeks with more hazing.
They help no one after two Weeks,
and 6n 1 y become a bother to
everyone concerned/’
' Speaking for Women’s customs.
Betty Bell, Thompson Hall, said
“They are great, but would Work
better, arid would be upheld if
they were for one or two weeks.”
Name cards seem to have been
the most popular part, of both the
men’s and women’s customs.
Chuck Suerkert, Hamilton Hall,
said proUdly r “The name cards
Were a Very good idea. I got tc(
know a lot of girls that Way. But,,
my only complaint is about the
bow ties. They should have been
starched more.
Dotty Bourne, ThompsOh Hall,
reported, “i met more people dur
ing customs than after, because of
the name cards. I might add, eg
pecialiy boys, how that it’s all
ever.”
Lack of Enforcement
, Also oh the male topic, Dawn
Beidler, Thompson Hall, said,
“Customs help you to adjust to
college life. But, I don’t like that
part of not speaking to —
can’t see the sense of it.” '
6ri the giris side many believed
that there was a lack of enforce
ment atid having, Mary Boiieh,
Thompson Hall, said, “They were
a lot of fun, but they would have
been better if the-girlg hazed
more,”
Linda Holmes, Spruce Cot
tage, was of the opinion “that they
weren’t much. They should have
been enforced mere.”
Many freshmen will ittiSs eus=
toms. and the fun Involved in
carrying them out, However,
most agreed that it’s a pleasure
to be off customs, and to walk
around “free” again, Rennie
Safier, Watts Hall, put it this
way: “I miss theffli but yet, Tffi
glad they’re over.”
