Campus Squirrels
Are 'Old Timers'
The story you’ve heard about the gray squirrel being introduced
on campus, in spite of their alleged enemies, the red pine squirrels,
is not true. '
The much-maligned pine squirrel is said to he as friendly to the
gray squirrel as a fraternity brother is to a new pledge. A wild life
professor at the University has it
that the pine squirrel’s reputation
for jinxing gray ones is un
founded.
He says that both the pine and
the gray squirrels have been here
as long as the campus has. That
would make them both alumni.
You’ll probably encounter these
glorified rodents on campus at
one time or another.
Lion's Paw-
(Continued from paae one)
Thursday night, yesterday re
peated a statement that he had
been offered a bribe by a mem
ber of Lion’s Paw during the 1953
All-University elections.
Kirschner did not name the man
who had offered the bribe, say
ing .that the person had since left
campus. He said, however, that
when the Lion’s Paw representa
tive spoke to him, the representa
tive “led him to believe that
Lion’s Paw sanctioned the bribe
and was behind him 100 per cent.”
Kirschner said the representa
tive asked him to “make sure”
the Lion Party slate lost the All-
University election and urged him
to concentrate the party’s cam
paigning in the class elections.
The Lion’s Party slate in the
election was Robert Carruthers,
president; Edward Haag, vice
president; and David Arnold,' sec
retary-treasurer.
Haag, who was opposed by Wil
liam Shifflett, former president of
the Association of Independent
Men, and Arnold, Lion Party can
didate, won in the All-University
elections. Richard Lemyre, State
party candidate, won the presi
dential post.
Lemyre and Arnold, according
to the 1953 “Who’s in the News
at Penn State,” are members of
Lion’s Paw this year.
Kirschner said that- the nature
of the bribe was not specified.
He said it might have taken the
form of money or appointments,
or probably a combination of the
two.

Rabbits and amorous Penn
Staters are not the only forms of
night life that dominate Hort
Woods. The way we figure this
buck-teethed creature, he is a for
estry major with a fur coat and
a rear-view turn signal thrown
in for choreographic effects.
Hort Woods literally swarms
with squirrels, with one litter per
family. On a clear day, you find
them jumping to, hanging from,
crawling under, or climbing over
any form of plant life that ever
had pretensions of being a hat
rack.- They swarm all over like
fraternity brothers and sorority
sisters during rushing, or hatmen
and hatwomen customs.
They Go Underground
It Would be foolish to omit men
tion of the submarine corps of
this unusual species of animal
life—the chipmunk. One is tempt
ed to ask if this little bundle of
peach fuzz makes-up the ground
construction crew, or an under
cover agency.
Chipmunks 'are like town stu
dents. You see them everywhere.
They’re also like town students
during Town Council elections . .
they both shy away.
Squirrels are shy, but they’re
just like people. They’re nosy as
Collegian reporters. When a squir
rel gets up enough nerve, he’s a
moodier.
Squirrels hide - behind a tree
when you walk unless you’re
handing out free lunches, and es

Phi Gam Houses
Baby Alligator
As if horned owls, albino squir
rels and baby chicks weren’t
enough, one of the fraternities
now has acquired a baby alliga
tor.
.Richard Schwoebel, sixth se
mester landscape horticulture ma
jor and a member of Phi Gam
ma Delta, was in Florida over the
Easter vacation and before he left
he ordered an alligator which ar
rived last week.
“Herbert” now resides in a bath
tub in the Phi Gam annex and
feeds on hamburger, flies and sal
mon eggs. Schwoebel reports he
doesn’t eat too much, however.
Schwoebel plans to take “Her
bert” home for the summer.
For girls envisioning . alligator
shoes or pocketbooks “Herbert” is
only 16 inches long.
Blue Band to Give
Outdoor Concert
The Concert Blue Band will
present an outdoor concert on
the steps of Pattee Library at
3 p.m. Sunday.
, The program will include a
salute to the Armed Forces with
songs of the Army, Air Force, Ma
rines, and Navy.
James W. Dunlop, associate pro
fessor of music education, is con
ductor of the band. In case of
rain, the concert will be held in
Schwab Auditorium.
pecially they will hide when a
zoology professor walks by.
Yet they poke their heads out
enough so they can look you over.
This is a reciprocal agreement—
you study them, they study you.
Squirrels chatter; so do people
. . . coeds over the phone, campus
politicians, and students when
the prof leaves the room.
Squirrels also have a high
pitched wail that sounds like
something between a hiss and a
coloratura soprano. It can be
heard for quite a distance. A rov
ing Collegian reporter once noted
that the raspberry quality of this
song brought back memories of
Brooklyn fans during the last
World Series.
