Penn State's
Provide Laughs in Gala Parade
The ugliest of the ugly were out in full force last night as the
Ugly Men made their annual parade through the streets of State
College. Every dog has its day, and yesterday belonged to the ugly
men.
Thousands of people turned out to see the gala event, character
ized by blaring horns, shouting
students, and ugly; ugly men.
Every one tried to outdo each
other, as they coaxed the crowds
to vote for their man.

Blackmail Attempts
By Fake Officer
Have Subsided
No further blackmail' atteniptg•
by a fake Campus Patrol officer
have been reported to Campus
Patrol, Capt. Phillip A. Mark of
Campus Patrol said yesterday.
Recently, Mark had received
phone calls from women students
complaining about a man who
posed as a patrolman, took the
names and addresses of couples
parked on University grounds at
night, and then called the women
and threatened blackmail.
"Evidently, he knows we're
wise to him," Mark said, "or may
be he just works on weekends."
Mark issued a warning in Tues
day's Daily Collegian, urging
couples to ignore any one posing
as a patrolman who is not in uni
form. If an officer is not in uni
form, he has no official authority,
Mark said.
Forecast for Today
Partly cloudy and continued
warm with scattered light, showers

ing to the University department
of meteorology.
The low temperature is ex
pected to be 50-55 degrees, and
the high near 75.
