Do You Listen To Fire Alarms If you had been sleeping in Pollock Dorm 12 last Tuesday morning and had heard the fire alarm sound in the hallway, what would you have done? , The chances are that if you are' an average Penn State student you wouldn’t have done a thing but turn over, cuss at the “damn fool” who was playing prankster, and go back to sleep. That's exactly what all but a handful of the 57 men in Pollock Dorm 12 did last Tues day morning when the fire alarm clattered through the building. Only' thing different about last Tuesday morning in Dorm 12 was that the alarm was not the stunt of a prankster. This was the real thing. ..There was a. fire in Dorm 12 last Tuesday morning. Fortunately it wasn’t a large, fire, so ■ two students were able to handle the emergency. But the important thing is that it might have been large. If it had been a large blaze, the chances are better than even that Penn State would , have been the scene of one of the most disastrous fires in the,history of Pennsylvania. An investigation is now under way to deter mine the cause of the fire and to discover why only a fraction of the men scurried from their rooms at the sound of the alarm. “Many of the students,” one newsstory reported, “said they ' thought it was a false alarm since false alarms have been sounded in the building on frequent occasions by students tampering with ther alarm system.” , We do not' propose to single out the men of Dorm 12 and blame them for failure to heed the alarm. Frankly we think that had we been sleeping in Dorm 12 we would not have gotten out of bed to .check whether the alarm was false or not. The odds are at Penn State thousand to one that an alarm is not false. When will the one in a thousand' come to your dorm, today, tomorrow, or the day after that? Logic, and WSGA Women’s Student Government Association’s recent ruling concerning late. premissions for coeds’ houseguests should do much to deepen male concern over the logic of the female mind. WSGA has decided that such house guests may obtain week-night 11 o’clock permissions. This is a fine, friendly gesture towards visitors at Penn State.. But the group at the same time set-up what by conventional logic is a totally unwarranted and rather ridiculous condition for the granting of these permissions. For a coed’s guest to remain out until 11 p.m., the coed must give up one of her own precious 11 o’clock permissions. And one wonders why. Certainly the coed receives no personal benefit from the hour of grace granted her temporary roommate. Yet if she is to play the part of hostess completely and obtain this hour for her guest, she must sacrifice an hour of her own time. Wouldn’t it be the better part’ for WSGA simply to permit the granting of 11 o’clocks to guests, under reasonable conditions, with no strings attached? How gracious is it for the group to force on a coed’s guest the realization that any extra hours are gained only at the sacrifice of her hostess?.., "The Irresisfable You” will be character sketched AUGUST ZUMPANO "Zumppy" is bock on campus after a two years absence and will visit all fraternities within next few weeks 9 Be Sketched As You Really Are Edward Shanken Business Mgr. • —Ron Bonn THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA No Philadelphians Interested in Voting? Last spring a majority of the Pennsylvania residents at the College signed a petition to the State legislature urging legalization of absentee voting. Yet only 11 students have answered an ad which appeared in the Daily Collegian offer ing free transportation to Philadelphia for the November elections to the first 50 people to contact Lorraine Dalphin in 137 McElwain. The College will give excuses to students who go home to vote. In student elections, 73 and 67 per cent of the women voted in the primary arid final elections of the Women’s Student Government- Associa tion and the Women’s Recreation Association last week. In the All-College elections last spring 41 per cent of students voted. While the results of both these elections in fluence the lives of the students, -the Philadel phia elections will have a greater effect. Most of those Who are old enough to vote are seniors who will soon be living in Philadel phia. But only 11 students have signed up for a free bus trip to Philadelphia and a lunch on Nov. 6. The offer was made by Richardson Dilworth, Philadelphia city treasurer—who is running for district attorney on the Democratic ticket headed by Joseph Clark—when he heard that many Penn State students did not vote because they could not afford the trip financially or did not want to miss more tha one day’s classes. The trip will be canceled if at least 40 stu dents don’t contact Miss Dalphin by Saturday. , Surely there are at least 29 Philadelphia voters who care enough about their city's future to take advantage of this offer. —Lynn Kahanowiiz Gazette...

A Column, by George! 'Zump' the Artist Returns There's a man that comes to our' house every other year. He draws pictures; funny lit tle pictures in crayon that make each brother look like some body with a head four times the right size and a body one tenth. > The gentleman in question is 36-year-old August Zumpano, who prefers to be known as “Zump.” He likes to come strut ting into a fraternity house and say “Hi, Zump is back.” He says this with an air that confuses the pledges. They have never seen him before, and think may be they should know him. On To Ziimp But on to Zump himself. He is the guy who does caricatatures that decorate most of the houses on campus. For the past 16 years, he has visited every campus in the country. During that span, he has dashed off tens of thousands of portraits of fraternity men, their dates, and sorority girls. He says, and proves it, that each one takes 20 minutes to do. The por trait itself consists of a reason ably accurate portrayal of the person—as Zump sees him. The body is reminiscent of the stick figures we used to draw in. grade school, with a little more added to them. But the bottom of the drawing is the piece de resistance. If you want to send the carica tature home, you have to tell Zump. Otherwise, he follows a set procedure that would never measure up to puritanical stan dards. He first sends the subject from TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23; 1951 to Campus ' By GEORGE GLAZER the room. Then he huddles with the brothers and they pick out a 1 weakness of the subject. This may run the gamut from a fondness for women" to a . more-or-less “spiritual” outlook on life. Most of these cannot be sent home. Zump spends nine months out of the year traveling around from campus to campus, hitting .each one about every two years. He, and his .wife (of two years) Gloria, couldn’t decide 'where they could call home for the re maining three months of .the .year. Zump bobbed his head and said, “We hibernate.” He did say -he and his wife had seriously-’dis cussed getting a trailer, but so far, nothing has come of it. By this time, of course, quite a crowd had collected around Zump; Naturally, the next ques tion was “Do you mind people crowding around you when you work?” s Zump didn’t even think for the answer. He says,he can’t work right unless there is a crowd around him. Early Start - Zump started out in the- busi i ness, when he was about 20 years old. He began by cutting- out sil houettes and gradually moved over into the field of caricatures. For his. work, he uses a prisma color hard crayon-pencil. For a while, he used pastels, and al though they were more colorful, Ihe found the fixative he. used .* ’ (Continued on page five) ■ . By Ribler Not For Mother
