WEDI4ESDAY;'JAITU.ARY" 6, 1954
Historical
Housed
A hill in the •social whirl due to approaching exams, may find
some students unhappily stumbling up the steps of Pattee Library
to face. one' of the grimmer aspects of university life—studying.
ugh some may even walk up another flight of stairs to the
second ^floor, prObably very few students ' have ever trudged the
four flights to the Penn State
Room.
The Penn State Room, with its
stacks of college and student pub
lications dating from the Univer
sity's founding, pictures of early
buildings and presidents, faculty
and historical files, and a col
lection of books by and about the
Penn State faculty, contains al-
I l most all of the available historical
and present-day information about
the University.
Exhibits of the room include
such items as a cherry desk used
by the first president, Dr. Evan
Pugh; a chair used by former
presidents and until recently by
President Milton S. Eisenhower;
I and a chest carved by a member
of the Class of 1895 containing
class relics and momentos covered
i by a second lid which may be
opened only by a member of that
class.
Names of the class members
Mare carved along' the sides and
lback of the chest. Words of the
class hymn, carved on the front
of the chest, are to the tune of
the present Alma Mater.
In charge of the Penn State
Room is Mrs. Mary Mairs, who
last year took the place of Mrs.
Abbie Cromer, former curator of
the collection.
• Exhibits of the Penn State Room
will soon be moved to the present
Thesis Room across the hall where
they will become the nucleus of
a future Penn State museum.

The conversion was on. When
it was complete; - I informed, all
concerned that should any dire
circumstances arise,.the service

I -proceeded with the task with
boundless enthusiasm. Only after

The end was supposed to be cut
square before trying. to load the
film on the,reel. I tried to tear
it off squar in the dark. The re
sult was not too promising. I kept
trying, to .load it. The film kept
balking.
I* decided .to try the other end.
The :other end of the film was
curled up as tight as a coil spring.
Every. time I tried to load it. it
would.balk, then snap back at me.
I tried again. It • snapped at me

After many perspiration-filled

It was too bad I had taken all
the pictures . on top of each other.

Senate Meets Tonight

Now is the Time
To Feed Birds,
Zoo Prof Says
Now's the time of year to do
one for the birds, according to
Merrill Wood, associate professor
of zoology.
"Birds need feeding from early
November until late April," Wood
said. Although he admits it may
never replace television, he says
that watching a bird feeder can
be a lot of fun.
Several types of feeders are
available, according to Wood.
There is a store-bought variety
which automatically serves food
as the birds eat and .the' home
made type which is merely a tray
with a- roof to keep weather out
and a rim to keep food in.
The feeding station may be fas
tened to a tree, attached to a win
dow sill, or to the side of the
house.
Stocking the feeder is no prob
lem, Wood pointed out. Cracked
corn, suet, sunflower seeds, and
bread crumbs will attract many
birds, including cardinals, white
breasted nuthatches, chickadees,
tufted titmice, English sparrows,
juncos, tree sparrows, and even
woodpeckers.
Wood stressed the need for pa
tience in the prospective bird
watcher.
"Too often the owner becomes
distraught if birds do not flock
to his feeder as soon as it's open
for business," he said.
It may take two or three weeks
before the birds find a station,
Wood explained, but once they
do find a roost they'll stay with
it as long as it is kept supplied
with feed.
