STATE .COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA Crowds, shows, bands, an d barkers were all in competition to make the most noise, attract the most notice, and to be heard above the rest last night at the the Spring Carnival. WDFM, campus radio station, was on the spot attempting to miss nothing as it interviewed students on the fairways. The question—Did it get noise or voices? Lights out was called by sev-1 eral booths when a circuit broke and shows were continued in the dark. Since the Spring Week of fice has also lost its electricity, members of the committee could not call an electrician. However, 15 minutes later brightness re turned to the area. If a carnival lacks excitement, this was one that didn't. In the midst of the crowds two German Shepherd dogs came very close to a fight but were soon separat ed by their owners. When asked why his dog was at the carnival one owner replied "Oh, I'm just taking him for a walk." Both dogs seemed to be enjoying the walk very little. Skimmer hats were 'worn by members of the Spring Week Committee. They served as a free ticket to shows. Several other students were also wear ing skimmers and claimed to have used them as a free pass. Booth fronts and backs were in marked contrast. Th e fairway side of each booth could be de scribed as containing a great deal of fluff and frills. The back of TONIGHT -- 6 Beaver Field CONTEST Carnival Sidelights By SUE CONKLIN p.m. the booths were stark with many underpinnings noticeable. In one corner of the carnival complaints were heard concern ing a bad smell. The cau s e— white mice. Not to be without all the corn forts of home, the carnival im ported a kitchen. It bore some re semblance to the California open style. Cold weather made many of the bare-legged coeds shiver. but it didn't stop the pizza sell ers. The pizza was warm. Any fair must have a sou venir booth. The carnival did. Being faithful to the Alma Mater. it sold Penn State sou venirs. For the past two years the Car nival has been slow in starting. However, last night crowds ar rived almost with the entertain ers. Crowds and groups attending shows remained more constant throughout the night. The major obstacle to the ming ling crowd were the lines for the ticket booths where up to 50 peo ple stood in one line. Early arrivals to the show were able to see one group attempting to put up a 25 by 15 foot sign— a major engineering feat. Photographers were a dime a dozen. Their flash pictures in combination with flashing lights used by some, added to the color of the show. Campus politics took the scene momentarily when one show used the line "W here are the BX profits?"
