Inkling Needs
Student Support
Inkling, the latest in a long line of Penn State
literary publications, is now on sale. To date the
sale has been disappointing.
No publication can exist without readers.
And right now Inkling is suffering from a lack
of readers.
We do•not pretend to be literary experts, but
from what we have been able to learn to date,
Inkling's current effort deserves the support of
the student body. The editors have worked hard
and long to overcome the many obstacles which
have been strewn in their path.
Inkling may not represent the best in literary
effort, but it is a respectable book, worthy of
the support of 1300 students—the number of
sales it would take to make the magazine meet
costs. We don't think 1300 is too large a goal.
If Inkling cannot get student support, we
are quite certain that it will be the last lit
erary effort on the Penn State' campus. We
hope there are at least 1300 Penn Staters who
are aware enough of the value a permanent
literary magazine would be to Penn State to
make a 25 cent investment.
PSCA Calls You
The, Penn State Christian Association is tak
ing over College Sportswear, Inc., during next
week to raise money for its treasury.
During the week the store will be run by
students, members and supporters of the PSCA,
who generously donate a few or many hours
of their free time to the project.
Many students will be needed to work as
clerks since the' store will be open from 9 a.m.
to 9 p.m. each day, Monday through Saturday.
,The need for personnel is especially great
during the lunch and dinner hours each day.,
and on Friday and Saturday nights. However,
volunteers are needed for all hours.
Can you spare an hour or two to devote to
this project? PSCA is your YMCA and YWCA
on campus, performing here the functions these
groups perform in your home town. To fulfill
its functions, PSCA needs . the money raised
by projects such as this.
Will you support its projects so that later
you may share its benefits?

The Sap Flows...
The College weather station says we have,
seen the last of the snow, and the calendar reads
March 28,. so it looks as if spring is really here.
This is the time of year a young man's (and
a young lady's, too) thoughts turn to : . . so if
the Daily Collegian starts looking as if spring
is really here . . . it is.

Safety Valve--
If Waynesburg Can Send Team,
Why Can't Penn State?
TO THE EDITOR: I have watched pith in
creasing interest the little episode which has
taken place here at State regarding the send
ing, by the College, of three men to the tourna
ment in Colorado.
I feel thdt a gross injustice has been done to
Charlie Speidel and his entire team. Why can
we not send eight men to Colorado? Is it the
expense? If it is, why all this talk about Penn
State being a "big name" college? Obviously,
it isn't. Yet how expensive can it be if little
Waynesburg College can send five men to the
tournament?
This is our big year. We cannot win, but
we would have had the best chance we've
ever had to do so. Oklahoma A&M is sending
15 men. , • .
One other thing interests me: why did we
not know about this before? Were they a little
sheepish about announcing their decision? If so.
isn't it rather obvious what stand they should
have taken?
To me it seems a rather' shallow thing to do
to the men who have gone through an unde
feated season, emerged as eastern champions,
and were in contention to really put Penn,State
on the map by gaining national recognition. I
hope we saved ourselves a little money; but
I think the price was a little high to pay
don't you?

(Ed. Note: Three of Penn State's starters,
Don Frey, Hud Samson, and Lynn Illing
worth, were not able to make the trip be
cause of injuries. As' far as we know, there
was no request for for them to be allowed to
compete in the nationals.)

The Old
Millstream
The props are all put away, and the Gridiron Banquet is back
in moth-balls for another year. But the props committee will prob
ably never forget the ordeal of gathering ."everything from any
where." -.
Each year the task of corralling props is thrust on an unexpected
junior who realizes not what is in store. This year sabres were
procured from Thespians, "Ku
Klux Klan" outfits from a local
fraternity, a Dean of Women's
outfit from Players, unmention
ables from a female member of
the Daily Collegian staff, records
from WMAJ, and a dog from Sig
ma Chi.
That dog, by the way, was
the most .cooperative animal
we've ever run into. He didn't
utter a word through two skits
and
,walked on stage with nary
a push when - it was his turn
to take center stage: Lassie
couldn't have done better.
Each year the unforeseen oc
curs at the last minute. This year
was no exception. The Nittany
Lion Inn is difficult to decorate
because the Inn naturally prefers
to have its walls unscarred and
its decorations left in tact. There
fore, enterprising Sigma Delta
Chi-ers, used sheets hung from
the ceiling molding on which to
put flags, silhouettes, etc.
Only this year, no sheets turned
up among the various props.
Therefore, we had to get the
sheets from the first available
bed. Our brother tis still wonder
ing what happened to his sheets
between 4 and 10 p.m. Wednesday.

and aisles are filled with guys
half in and half out of prospective
costumes, dancers deciding wheth
er to wear taps or soft shoes, and
singers patiently awaiting the en
trance of "Sally's" and some food.
The show should certainly
dazzle the eye, "since Thespians
are spending more money than
ever before on sets and cos
tumes. New curtains will re

Connecticut Yankee" which
hits the boards next week,
meaning, of course, that Schwab
will be 'no man's lancl for the ,
timid soul until then.
A few weeks ago, we mentioned
in this space a commercial school
in New York which teaches slow
readers' how to increase their
speed. We recall that the school
champ read about 800 words per
minute.
Now it has been brought to our
attention that those New Yorkers
are pikers. Right here at Penn
State there are students ripping
off a phenomenal 2300 words per
minute. These word demons are
members of a course_ in reading
habits given by the College. Class
members claim that studying
takes no time at all. In fact, "Gone
With the Wind" is reported to
have been a half hour
.class ex
ercise.
