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

ed his own bid five dollars when
time. 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.

gineering extension, on the fac
ulty side.
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.

the speaker at the first session
Friday night. Wilmer E. Ken
worthy, director of student af
fairs, welcomed the group at that
time.
One of the main discussfons of
the students was that of student
government and leadership. They
said that if there is a sound re
lationship between students and
administration, there is bound to
be an understanding and appreci
ation for school policies.
If the student government
functions properly, they decided,
it will serve as a co-ordinator. It
will represent the, student point
of view and when decisions are
made they can be carried to the
students with knowledge an d
understanding.
Opinions Open Ideas

tributions of student leaders
opened new ideas not in use at
