Customs Begin;
Frosh Confused
The how’s and when’s of the beginning freshman customs created
more confusion than usual yesterday, with only a few women

less than one-half of the first-semester men.
Although about 49 freshman women were to have started cus
toms Monday, the late arrival of bows and cards resulted in the

majority going about disguised
as upperclasswomen. Remarks
ranged from “It’s quite a mess”
to “Nobody has the slightest idea
what they’re supposed to do.”
Yesterday afternoon 42 women
had bought customs .at the BX,
while others bought paper and
ribbons at local stores and made
their own.
Healed Debate
At the same time only 44 out
of the approximately 91 freshman
men scheduled to start customs
today, had signed the list at the
BX.
Aside from this situation the
frosh said their main trouble had
been during registration, when
most of them, had to go through
the boards of control.
'Going Fine’
The search for buildings takes
up all of the ten-minute walking
time for many, who said they
generally don’t get lost ■if they
walk first to Old Main and set
their sights from there.
But in spite of the complexities
of the first few days, the prac
tically unanimous decision is that
“everything’s going fine.” Many
of the women have been at the
College for week-ends, and find
they take everything in their
stride.
From these the most frequent
remark was a wish that dating
restrictions would soon be over
so they could again participate
in the social life they tasted as
visitors to the campus.
3d in Family Gets
Doctor's Degree
Harold Lovell became the third
doctor in his family; last week
when he received his doctorate
degree at the College.
Lovell, who lives in State Col
lege, received his degree in fuel
technology. His father, Dr. Harry
Lovell, is a dentist in Altoona
and his brother, Dr. Donald
Lovell, is practising physician in
Bellwood.
Lovell began his college work
at a Penn State Center and re
ceived his bachelor of science and
master of science degrees at the

Poultry Club Officers
Newly elected officers of the
Poultry Club are Ronald Stief,
president; Albert Palmateer, vice
president; Roger Strait, secre
tary; and Morris Brown, treas
urer.
Pen Pal Requested
By English Woman
The “lovely gesture” of the
Penn State students who arranged
for Derek Turnbull’s fiancee,
Gladys Robson, to visit the Col
lege has inspired Auriol Noakes,
who lives near Miss Robson’s
home town, to request a pen pal
from the College.
Miss Noakes, apparently im
pressed by the British couple’s
reunion at the Delta Chi frater
nity house, wrote “to the students’’
that she “was very pleased to see
in the paper the lovely gesture
you gave for one of my country
men in your college and a girl
from near my home town.”
“I would very much like a pen
pal from your college,” she said
in her letter. “If there should be
anyone interested. I would be
very pleased,” she continued.
Miss Noakes describes herself
as “28 years of age, five feet four
inches tall, brunette, fair color
ing.”
Her address is 27 Holly avenue,
Dunston, Gateshead 11, NR New
castle. England.
Miss Noakes’ addressed her let
ter to “The Principal, Pennsyl
vania State College, Pennsyl
vania, U.S.A.”

student had had an accomplice
