Key System
To Change
In Sparks
Sparks Building, “o n e of the
hardest buildings on campus to
control as far as security goes,”
will have a new key system by the
end of the month, according to
G. R. Trostly, key clerk.
Ben Euwema, dean of the Lib
eral Arts college, said this pre
caution was necessary in order ‘to
tighten up on security.” Keys have
been lost and unauthorized people
have found them and made dupli
cates, he said.
The new system will be an im
provement over the old because it
will provide for an unlimited num
ber of combinations.
Each room and Department of
fice will be individually keyed.
Faculty members will stll have ac
cess to the building and to their
offices after hours as before, but
will not be able to get into the sec
retaries’ offices. They must pick
up their mail during the day.
Trostle said thkt they have the
materials and the new locks
should be in operation before ex
,am time.
Although there hasn’t been any
trouble with examination papers
being taken since the flare-up two
years ago, Euwema said the new
system will serve as a preventive
measure.
Euwema also said that the new
system will prevent supplies from
being taken. He mentioned that
a $550 electric calculator was stol
en from Sparks sometime between
April 20-25. Borough police are still
investigating the theft.
Trostle did not know the exact
cost of the re-keying, but estimat
ed it to be somewhat under $5OOO.

Complaints
About Rain
Are All Wet
Does it really rain more at Penn
State than at any other place in
Pennsylvania? Students have been
debating this question for years,
while they stepped ankle-deep in
puddles and felt the wind and rain
in their hair.
However, due to statistics. Dr.
Charles L. Hosier, assistant pro
fessor in Meteorology, says no.
The average amount of rainfall
during 1954 at State College was
41 inches.
Harrisburg, in 1954, had 33 in
ches. Philadelphia, 35 inches,
Scranton, 35 inches. But Pitts
burgh’s precipitation in 1954
amounted to 40 inches, Erie had
42 inches and Brookville, 43 in
ches.
This goes to prove that Penn
State does not have a monopoly
on rain. The amount of rain in
creases as one goes from the east
ern to the western part of the
state. Since Penn State is a trans
ition point between east and west,
it’s just about in the middle of
the road.
So, if its any consolation, while
you’re trudging off to the 8 o’-
clock class in a downpour, stu
dents at the University of Pitts
burgh are also getting their own
taste of liquid sunshine.
Frosh Mixer Scheduled
Arthur Schravesande, freshman
class president, has announced a
freshman class mixer from 2 to
5 p.m. next Friday in the Hetzel
Union ballroom.
Chuck Torrence and his orches
tra will play at the mixer, which
