LEIGHTLEY disclaiming the virtues of a 1937 pickup truck at the University used equip ment auction Saturday. 200 'Junk-Buyers' Get Auction Bargains A flashback to the "good old days" took place Saturday as the University put about 500 items on the block at its semi annual auction of used equipment. About 200 persons—farmers, State College residents, junk dealers, and a few students—gathered in the warm sun to hear auctioneer Harold E. Leight ley dispose of an assortment of furniture, plumbing, electrical and automotive equipment, and just plain junk. "Six, six; six—would ya bid seven?" intoned the auctioneer, as some items went for amazingly low prices, while others seemed to bring considerable returns. A large, old pot-bellied stove brought $l7, while a dictaphone that resembled Edison's original went for $4. As the sun grew warmer, the auctioneer divested himself of his coat, loosened his necktie. and look-occasional swigs from a little brown bottle. "Bid high, folks," he intoned, "You're in Republi can times." One desk was sold for fifty cents, while an assortment of workbenches averaged $1.50 to $2. A Fair banks platform scale brought $5. The auctioneer's observation; that "junk is up a little bit this Ives to Direct Play spring" seemed to bring results, as a 1939 International pickup "Sunday Breakfast" will be pre truck, whose best days looked to sented today by the 5 O'Clock be long, long ago, brought $42.

A junk dealer appeared to have accidently bought a piano with about three-fourths of the hammers missing when he an swered "What?" to the auction eer's question of whether he would bid a dollar on it. Few items remained unsold. Among them was a huge pile of football equipment—pads, hel mets, and even an old dummy. Among the few students who showed up at the auction were some fraternity members who looked over the varied assort ment of sofas and chairs on hand. Possibly some of the best bar gains of the day were a Planet Jr. farm machine which sold for $75 (about $2OO new), a pair of huge doors with large iron hinges that went for $lO and a large as sortment of almost-new snare drums which were bought at $5 .and $lO apiece.

Miss McKenzie, accompanied by Earl Seeley's band, sang "Blue Moon," and "Ain't Misbehavin'." Bohart, sounding every bit like Ernie Ford or Harry Belafonte, gave his rendition of the popular folk song "John Henry." Folk Singing Parodied Shea, who accompanied Bohart, parodied the various types of folk singing found around the country. Skipping from West Virginia to New York and Georgia with his guitar, he provided the audience with many laughs in addition to hillbilly singing. Nielly tickled the male funny bones with a song titled "The Academic Blues". Exhorting the praises of social life, Nielly sang "Forget the•mafirmatics with the unknown x, and go out and min gle with the opposite sex." Sprinkled throughout were comedy acts by Peter Kiefer, and Louis Wasser and Jack Small; and a dixieland band headed by Frank Morris, director of person nel service. Kiefer put on an act titled the "Amateur Botonist" and told of his safari into the Hawaiian jun gle in search of "something to take the stink out of chlorophyll." Kiefer said he had hoped to bring some Hawaiian hula girls back with him, but "someone cut the grass." Morris' band played "Jada" and "Muskat Ranble," while the Was ser and Small comedy act was done in black face.
