SDX Holds 22nd
Gridiron Banquet
THREE SDX members cast ballots in a futile attempt to name
the new post office Mount Nittany.
Student Government, Apathy,
Campus Leaders Are Panned
Sigma Delta Chi, men’s professional national journalism
fraternity, panned everything from the University’s origin to
present day student government and apathy, at its 22nd an
nual Gridiron Banquet last night at the Nittany Lion Inn.
In lampooning the recent name change controversy and
the naming of the new campus post office, Dr. Milton S. Eisen
hower was depicted as overruling
a'popular referendum which had
suggested the name Mount Nit
tany for the post office, and used
tike name he wanted, that of Uni
versity Park.
Student Government Hit
In panning student government,
Jesse Amelle was pictured as an
All-University President who was
not recognized by cabinet mem
bers because of his many absences
from Cabinet meetings due to his
basketball trips.
The University’s birthday party]
was panned when several inebri
ated students were depicted hav
ing a party while a larger portion
of the student body attended the
birthday party in the Hetzel Union
Building.
Golf-Playing President
Even the golf-playing of Presi
dent Dwight D. Eisenhower didn’t
escape lampooning. In a supposed
letter whic* was read at the birth
day party, President Eisenhower
blasted the fact that the Univer
sity was located in such an out of
the way place, but he praised the
18 hole golf course, the Centre
Hills Country Club, “the friendly
squirrels that scamper to and fro
on the campus,” and the “delight
ful fisherman’s paradise.”
In a parody depicting the man
ner in which coeds were first ad
mitted to the University, a peti-

formal affair
. . . always look
your very
best

tion was read to Dr. Milton S. Eis
enhower signed by “124 students
and 1400 faculty members” re
questing that the University be
made a co-educational institution.
The petition read to the effect
that “. . . Whereas in the spring
at the Farmers’ High School a
young man’s fancy has no place to
turn to, and whereas, under the
present situation panty raids are
all but impossible, be it resolved
that...” coeds be admitted to the
University.
James W. Dean, who was the
rebuttal speaker for the banquet,
began his retorts by first placing
on himself two lieutenant’s bars
because in his words he has been
accused of “military discipline”
so many times.
Dean Pans Collegian
Dean Dean, in panning the Daily
Collegian, requested a formal
apology from the Collegian to the
Centre Daily Times, that the news
appearing in the Times does not
come from the Collegian, as Col
legian people have been claiming
through the years.
Richard McDowell, president of
SDX, announced that this was the
first banquet that Dr. Eisenhow
er has missed since he came to the
University. McDowell said that
because of Dr. Eisenhower’s re
cent ilfciess he was unable to at
tend.

Yen, arise comrade Mothers,
(I'm safe McCarthy doesn't
read the Collegian) for soon
it will be your day. After
slaving over hot daytime
serials, struggling to keep
body and girdle together,
THIS IS your day! Whoopee,
oh whoopee!
Since this is mother's day
Simon's has the perfect sug
gestion; said suggestion
being a gift of one or more
of their new spring or sum
mer bags.
There are: washable nylon
drawstring pouches; decor
ated summer straws in nat
ural, white, pink, blue, navy,
red and black. These straws
are from Haiti, Mexico, Ja
pan and Hong Kong—quite
a collection. Lastly, lustre
calf pastels make a bid—in
all colors to match the ever
popular lustre calf shoes.
