Magazine Fee Payment
Favored by Ag Students
The payment of the 50 cents subscription fee assessed each stu
dent in the College of Agriculture was favored by students polled
yesterday on Ag Hill. However, they objected, to the method used
last semester for paying the fee.
Students last semester. payed
the fee when they went to Rec
reation Hall but were not in
formed of the change in collect
ing the fee before they registered.
Due to the confusion at Rec Hall
last semester about 50 per cent
of, the students failed to pay the
fee. The assessment was formerly
paid when students paid Univer
sity fees.
. A new plan will be put into ef
fect during spring registration.
Representatives of the Penn State
Farmer, publication of the Agri
culture College, will collect the
fee at Rec Hall before students
register. Each student will be
given a receipt upon payment
which will entitle him to receive
a copy of the Farmer.
The subscription fee was passed
by the council last April and en
titles every student to receive a
copy of the Farmer. The 50 cents
was first assessed in 1949 as an
activities fee
At the Agriculture Student
Council meeting Tuesday night,
Temple Reynolds, seventh semes
ter forestry major, said students
should not have to pay for a mag
azine that is written mostly for
farmers of Pennsylvania.
Edgar Fehnel, retiring editor of
the Farmer, outlined the values
of the Farmer for council mem
bers. He said the magazine brings
recognition to the College of Agri
culture because of its large circu
lation, more than 1000, among
Pennsylvania farmers.
“The Penn State Farmer can
only be as good as the'whole
hearted support it receives from
each of us,” Fehnel said. The
Farmer operated on a more re
stricted budget last year because
of the default in paying the fee,
and 500 students picked up free
magazines, he added.
Buttons—
(Cantinued from page two)
brass, tin, and copper—and are
very intricate in design. Even his
smallest button, a four-leaf clover,
has. an intri.cate line design
worked in the metal.
Besides metal, there are but
tons of glass, wood, plasties, and
bone. And from Switzerland he
received a button made of whey,
the watery substance in milk. ,
No two buttons in the collection
are alike, although the difference
may be only in size or color.
Some of the buttons are, of
course, ordinary ones, such as
shirt buttons. But Stewart has
collected those which are cubical,
triangular, flat and three-dimen
sional, simple and very ornate.
He has buttons off the uniforms
of soldiers, sailors, and railroad
workers. He has cameo buttons,
handmade buttons and hand
painted buttons: He has buttons
made in the shape of miniature
packs of famous-brand cigarettes
and miniature garden tools. He
also has what collectors call a
“bachelor’s button” with a clip to
save the fingers and patience of
bachelors.
Has Many Sources
The 500 buttons have come
from friends, stores, and auctions.
Stewart says he has often come
to work to find a package of but
tons left on his desk. Buttons from
Germany, Switzerland; and
France are sent ,by a sister-who
lives in Germany.
He gets many buttons by buy
ing “surprise boxes”-at auctions.
Often these boxes will have but
tons strung like beads on pieces
of string. These charmstrings, as
they were called, were collected
by young girls in the hopes that
when they got 1000 they would
be married and the man of their
choice would put the last button
on the string.
Trade, Sale Offers
Stewart has had offers from
other collectors to sell or trade
buttons, and he supposes his col
lection is valuable. But he doesn’t
want to trade or sell.
“I don’t know why I keep
them,” he said, “to hand down, I
suppose.”
: Stewart graduated from the
University in 1925 with a B.S. in
agricultural education. After
teaching three years, he came
back to the campus for his mas
ter’s degree and 25 years ago to
day, he accepted a position on
the University staff.

separately.
The move stemmed fr'm a sug
gestion of the senate committee
on student affairs. It originally
was the result of student encamp
ment proceedings. The move is
a step towards making the Sen
ate committee on student affairs
and .its subcommittee on social
affairs, both constructive agen
cies.
Cabinet postponed action- on the
proposed Sunday movie ■ regula

Richard Riglihg, co-chairman of

Arnold, All - College secretary
treasurer.
