Spring Week Carnival: Fun, Not Folly
The spring carnival booth sponsored by Play- Week Clean” theme has been sounded. It was

booth. Week is clean or this year's is the last Spring
Week." And they mean what they say.
Talent instead of smut can not only keep
the Carnival alive, but improve it .So can or
iginality.
Students participating in the Carnival shows
will have to do more than start out with good
intent—they’ll have to maintain it. Generally, in
the past, shows have started out mildly enough.
Then, with the competition for the Spring Week
Cup—translated into competition for more and
more Carnival tickets—increasing, attempts to
reveal more, incite more, and collect more tick
cts increase.
The end result: booths get warned or closed
and University officials wonder what new
measures they can undertake to curb excesses.
One of Ihe excesses that concerns the Univer
sity most is wholesale class cutting. Part of this
can be blamed on Spring Week, much of it
simply on Spring. Students will find reason to
cut this time of year. Spring Week or no Spring
Week. But the Week's activities serve as a
rationalising agent for cutting. Students must
curb cutting, lest the agent be dissolved.
There is no reason why Spring Week this
year cannot be an enjoyable and profitable time
for everyone concerned. There are many rea
sons why it best be in good taste and good sense.
—The Editor
Approximately 10 of the 45 booths which
opened the first night of the sixth annual Spring
Week Carnival . . . were warned by Spring
Week committee checkers, according to George
Richards, Spring Week chairman.
The groups were warned by nearly 30 check
ers to change their shows after being deemed
inappropriate by the standards of the Spring
Week committee ... A second warning will re
sult in the closing of the booth . . .

The Spring Week Carnival, biggest single
event in the week, opens next Wednesday. Bad
taste can kill the Carnival. Alcohol can kill the
Carnival. Excessive class cutting during the
week by participants can kill the Carnival.
The carnival & well worth preserving. Its a
lot of fun. It contributes to a worthwhile pro
ject: the All-University Student Scholarship
Fund. Last year $7418.87 was collected at the
Carnival. In 1953, $5900 was collected for the
fund from carnival ticket sales. After expenses
were taken out. the remainder went into the

Centennial Lore
University TitleKnded
yd Century of Search
It has been one of the rueful traditions of the Univeisity that
in its 100-year history it has never had a name that accurately
described it. .
But finally in the fall of 1953, the school received a name that
was equal to its status,
When it was offering work of
collegiate rank' and granting
bachelor’s degtteeS.'it wascalled
the Farmers’ High School of Penn
sylvania.
Agriculture College
Later, when most of its students
were studying engineering and
the sciences, it was called the
Agricultural College of Pennsyl
vania.
Previous to 1953, when it was a
great educational institution
larger than many universities, it
was still called a “college.”
Now it has been changed to
“The Pennsylvania State Univer
sity”. , ' _
Despite the fact that the found
ers of the institution had always
envisioned it as a college, it came
into being with the label of a
“high school”.
College Idle Place
The name “Farmers’ High
School of Pennsylvania” was
supported by the Pennsylvania
State Agricultural Society, the
prime mover in the establishment
of the school. The transactions of
the society state that “high school”
was chosen “partly in a feeling
that the farmers might be preju
diced against the word college as
that of a place where boys con
tracted idle habits.
The institution went under the
misnomer of a high school until
May 6, 1862, when the Board of
Trustees, formally approved the
name change to “The Agricultural
College of Pennsylvania.”
12 Farmers
But the change was still not an
adequate description for the
school’s program included instruc
tion in the mechanical arts and
sciences as well as in agriculture.
As a matter of fact, of the first
90 alumni of the University only
12 were farmers.
This dissatisfaction led in Sep-
fHURSDAY. MAY 5. 1955
By Bibler
tember, 1873, to the decision of
the Trustees to apply to the Cen
tre County Court for permission
to alter the name to the Penn
sylvania State College. Approval
of the change was given m Jan
uary, 1874.
Dairy Contest
Open to Coeds
The annual Dairy Exposition to
be held Saturday afternoon in
the Ag Hill pavilion will feature
a cow milking contest for the
coeds.
The contest is divided into two
divisions, one for experienced,
and one for the non-experienced
milkmaids. Registration will take
place this week in 105 Dairy.
A grand champion fitter will be
chosen after the preliminary
events at 3:45 p.m. and the grand
champion showman will be chos
en at 4:05 p.m.
In connection with the exposi
tion, the Dairy Science Club will
hold a banquet at 7:30 p.m. Satur
day in the Lutheran Student
Center.
Lantern Staffs to Meet
Business and circulation staffs
of the Liberal Arts Lantern will
meet at 7 tonight in 101 Willard.
Interested students may attend.
