Seniors to Honor
11 Titiists June 8
Graduating seniors are voting, as they pick •up 1953 LaVies at
the Student - Union desk, "for Spoon Man, Bow Girl and nine other
titlists to be honored June 8 at Class Night.
Eleven outstanding seniors who inherit these labels will be
carrying on a College tradition
Class Night began in 1874 with awards based on scholarship and
activities. In 1914 the senior class
decided to imitate the Harvard-
Yale custom of honoring out
standing male graduates. And
that was the year Spoon Man and
his contemporaries, Barrel and
Cane; first appeared on the Class
Night program.
When the custom first origin
ated, the Spoon went to the senior
class president as being the out
standing 'leader. The Cane went
to the senior considered to have
outstanding leadership qualities
and popularity. The Barrel, sym
bolic of an old cider scrap on
campus, wad given usually to an
athlete who excelled in leader
ship and scholarship.
The tradition of Pipe Man
seemed to start when one campus
joker decided, that it was time
to bury the hatchet, according to
the Daily Collegian of. June 9,
1914. The Pipe had originated
even before the other three honor
men, in the days when it was
customary for the outgoing senior
class to smoke a pipe of peace
with incoming seniors. The, title
has come to symbolize the friend
ship between the two classes and
the passing on of College tra
ditions.
Today, according to t'he num
ber -of votes received, five out
standing graduating men will be

Privileges
The privilege of having an auto
mobile on campus has been with
drawn for one year from three
students involved May 11 in the
Nittany-Pollock fracas, Dean of

Students were charged with
reckless driving and contributing
to the general confusion. With

the campus, including parking in
the Nittany-Pollock area, Dean.
Simes said.
Another violation by the three
men, he added, would result in
action by the disciplinary com
mittee of the College. The present
ruling was handed down by the.
Dean of Men's office only.
License numbers of seven, cars
were received by the Dean of
Men's office after the disturbance.
A water fight in the West Dorm
courtyard occurred about' the
