Prof Collects 134,000 Pennies By TED SERRILL Add 27 years to a continual search for the best bargains in buying batches of coins and you too may claim a collection of 134,000 Indian head pennies. At least this is the number of such coins Albert F. Hildebfandt, retired professor of botany, says he has obtained since he began collecting American coins in 1928. Probably no other hobby ex cepting stamp collecting can yield so much for the little money put into it. Recently, Hildebrandt said, he sold an Indian head pen ny, minted in 1877, for s2o—a pro fit of 200,000 per cent. And, "That is not hay," he claimed. In addition to his Indian heads, Hildebrandt possesses untold numbers of other old American coins comprising a collection of unfathomable cost. He said he probably owns more Indian head •pennies than any • WHETHER YOU PREFER CLASSICAL OR POPULAR MUSIC . , . OPERATIC OR SYMPHONIC . .. WEBCOR HAS EXACTLY THE RIGHT FONOGRAPH FOR YOU.

Mortar Board was particularly criticized for allowing the opera tion of a kissing booth sponsored by Phi Mu sorority, she said. McKnight Explains Miss McKnight explained that Mortar Board has never placed rigid restrictions on the entrants for Mardi Gras because they have never had any shows entered that failed to approach their stan dards. Members of the group felt that since they had run into diffi culty, they should take steps to prevent a reception. One of the members suggeSted that Mardi Gras might become another Spring Week. Until now Mortar Board has only restricted entrants in the materials they could use in their entries and in the use of cigar ettes. Entrants filed plans which were passed by members of Mor tar Board, but it has not been necessary to censor any of the plans. Kissing Booth Plans Plans for the kissing booth this year did not explain the proce dure in detail. Members of Mor tar Board claimed they had no idea that the show would include actual kissing. The motion passed by Mortar Board requires groups to file com plete plans for the Mardi Gras program. If Mortar Board censors the plan, the entrant may file another plan for approval. The plan must meet the moral re strictions of Mortar Board. An entrant not following the plan may be disqualified and closed down. Suggestions for next -year's Mardi Gras will be discussed fur ther at the next meeting. Chem-Phys Council illi&w The Chem-Phys Student Coun cil will hold a combined student faculty banquet tonight at the Eutaw 'House. Those attending will meet at 6:15 tonight behind Osmond Laboratory. The purpose of the banquet is to discuss future activities of the College of. Chemistry and Physics. Proposed activities include the annual spring open house and science fair. man in the country with "the pos sible exception of the U.S. Treas ury." An Indian head may bring only a few fractions of a cent, he said, or it may bring as much as $7O. One coin, the 1856 pressing of the I spreading-eagle penny pan be sold for $2OO, he revealed. It is exceptionally rare—so rare he only knows of a single man own ing one. He hasn't been able to obtain the penny in his 27 years of collecting. Hildebrandt worked 44 years as a faculty member at the Univer sity, much of the time as the University greenhouse curator and instructor in botany. For several years he taught engineering and mathematics in the College of En gineering and 'Architecture. During this time he travelled throughout the eastern United States searching for coins. Since his retirement 4% years ago, it has become a serious hobby, he asserted. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA , Laboratory To Conduct Open House The Ordnance Research Labora tory will hold an open house pro gram today to mark the 10th an niversary of the Laboratory and the opening of a building exten sion. The laboratory was established in 1945 to continue the work of the Ordnance Division of the Har vard Underwater Sound Labora tory. Its work is concerned pri marily with research and develop. ment of torpedoes. One of the points of interest at the open house will be a new analog computer that is capable of analyzing in seconds problems that take months to solve by hand computations. It will be used in designing torpedo systems. The computer is capable of finding "bugs" in systems before the torpedoes are actually. built. Since a torpedo often requires years to design, manufacture, and test and each torpedo costs from ' $5OOO to $50,000, the computer will result in tremendous savings in both time and money. Containing about 550 tubes, al most 30 times as many as the average television set., the corn- 1 puter will be especially valuable in determining the effect of vary ing the design features of a tor pedo over a wide range of pos sible values. Normally it takes at least a month to compute the effect of changing but one set of such conditions in an average system. For the several sets re quired, several months are need ed. The computer will perform such analysis almost immediately.

Much of the remainder of his collection is devoted to the 1943 silver-colored minting of Lincoln pennies and Jefferson nickels bearing letters above the dome of the picture of the JefferSon Memorial. The letters, P, D, and S, denote cities, other than Wash ington, the coins were printed in —Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco, where minting has been discontinued. The 1943 pennies, which were made of zinc because of the scar city of copper during World War 11, are already selling for two or three cents apiece, Hildebrandt said. He advised they would be worth saving for a future when they disappear from the coin col lection scene. In pointing out that the buying and selling of coins involves a sure knowledge of the business, he said that coin dealers have offered him six and seven cents apiece for coins they would later sell for 20 to 85 cents apiece.

College Ave. 15 Lights Installed On College Avenue A walk across campus yesterday would have found Uni versity workmen busy installing street lights along College avenue, putting the finishing touches on the tennis courts beside Recreation Hall, and painting the interior of Sparks classrooms. About 15 street lamps have been put up along the north, or University side of College ave nue. A total of 38 are to be erect ed, extending to the east end of the campus. Twenty-two lamps down to Shortlidge road will be made of steel. Sixteen others from Short-' lidge road to the east end of the campus Oill be made of wood, but will have the same illuminat ing devices. University Finances Lights Under a recent agreement, the University is financing and erect ing the street lights -on its side of the avenue and , the borough will do the same on the south side. The borough will start work on its part of the agreement in the near future. Work on the project, which be gan about a month ago, is ex pected to be completed about the middle of December. • The four tennis courts between Sigma Nu and Rec Hall have beeh resurfaced with macadem and were ready for play in the last week of October. Workmen, however, are still painting and repairing the wire fence surround ing the courts. Copper Nets Installed All-weather copper nets, which will be left up throughout the year, have been installed. This work also included sinking new posts for all four courts. In former years, the courts were seldom used because of their earth surface which required dry weather for good playing con ditions. The men working in Sparks Building are completing painting started in 1954. They started two weeks ago to paint the interior of the classrooms not covered last year and the two lecture halls.

NOVEMBER 16. 19311 Juniors Plan Yule Party For Children The junior class advisory corn.. mittee sub-committee on junior class functions set up plans last night for a Christmas party for faculty children to be held Dec. 17. The committee plans to hold the party in the • Hettel Union ballroom. A program including gifts, refreshments, and an enter tainment will be planned for the children. Talk With Faculty Members of the committee will discuss several aspects of the party with faculty members in the College of Education. They will accept advice on age limits, the type of gifts to be given, the number of students needed for a specific number of children, and the type of entertainment that would be most suitable for the age group selected. The committee will get a list of faculty children and send in vitations according to the list. The tentative age group- will be from four to • eight years old. Juniors to Be Hosts Members of the junior class will act as hosts and hostesses for the children. Any interested juniors should sign up at Hetzel Union desk. Parents of the children may stay at the party or leave the children there.. Members of the committee felt that the party would improve student-f acuity relationships. Since a great many of the frater nities and sororities hold Christ mas parties for children in the area, the committee felt that fac ulty children should also. be given an opportunity to attend a party.
