PENNSYLVANIA Some pigs go to market and some pigs' stay home, but Scallop goes to college. Scallop, a one pound, seven day-old pink and white pig is a new resident of Simmons Hall. Scallop’s guardian, Sandra Trexler, a junior in veterinary science from Revere, has had sleepless nights since acquiring her new “roommate.” Although Scallop is a peaceful quiet pig in the daytime, he refuses to sleep at night and if not fed promptly at 3 and 6 a.m. he cries like a baby—and just like a baby, he is quiet when he gets his pablum. Sandy is quite experienced in raising “dormitory” animals. Rab bits, hampsters,'. and chipmunks lived with her last year. This year, until Scallop moved in, Sandy’s menagerie consisted of a stuffed skunk, a sheep skin, a goat skin, and a stuffed fox. But these things don’t, seem to bother Scallop, who is very hap py in his.present environment. In fact, ..s Scallop might say, “A pig never had it so good.” ' And this was true until yester day when Simmons’ star boarder was found by the housemothers. Result: Scallop is now living a normal pig’s life on a farm, and Sandy is reading a book titled “A Pig Is a Pig.” 30 Students Form New Ag Society A new agriculture club, the World Agricultural Service So ciety, was formed this week by 30 students representing eight schools in the College of Agri culture.
