During Spring Week
Spring week--fun, frolic and frivolity for the University's
14,000-odd students—comes but once a year, but in that one
week, the campus comes alive with activity.
Fraternities, sororities and independent groups start in
weeks ahead nailing together
floats, practicing skits and lining
up Ife-Men to participate in such
events as float parade, Carnival
end Ile-Man contest.
Spring Week began almost a
decade ago—in 1949 when
Froth, campus humor magazine,
suggested it as Penn State's an
swer to Dartmouth's Winter Car
nival.
Last year's Spring Week was
held from April 28 to May 1
and included four major events.
The week began with an hour
long float parade down College
Avenue which was televised over
the Lancaster 'and Altoona sta
tions.
After the float parade, the He-
Man contest—designed to choose
the most outstanding all-around
athlete—was held on the intra
mural field. Coeds tested their
skill in a Queen of Hearts tourn
ament by quickly getting in and
out of bulky clothes in a "suit
case race."
The Carnival, the major event,
attracted a crowd of mote than

17,000 persons who dotted a mid
way of sideshows, rides and con
cessions. The typical booth used
dancing girls on the outside to
draw attention to inside movies
or "live" skits.
Floats and carnival booths
were built around the theme of
"T.V. Jubilee," with three cate
gories—western, panel and quiz
and police and detective.
Trophies were presented to
winners of each category and
each event, and Ginger Ottinger
was crowned Miss Penn State, all
at the Awards Night program.

The rites of Spring came to a

formal dances at fraternities.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA-
OSU Holds Ist
In Football Poll
NEW YORK UP) Ohio State
apparently has discovered a sure
fire way to retain its No. 1 spot
in the weekly Associated Press
football poll—don't play any
games. Oklahoma, also untested
to date, retained the No. 2 spot.
Auburn, fif 1 h a week ago,
moved up to third place, swap
ping places with Notre Dame
although the two teams have
yet to play a game. Michigan
State held to its fourth posi
tion.
Behind Notre Dame, in order,
are TCU, Pittsburgh, Army, Mis
sissippi and Washington State.
There are two new teams in the
select 10 this week, one dropping
out because it was defeated, and
the other moving downward to
make room for a team that turned
in an impressive victory.
North Carolina, No. 10 last
week, dropped out of sight in
losing to North Carolina State,
and Navy, still an uncertain
quantity and ranked seventh
last week, fell to 11th as Pitt
took over the No. 7 position by
virtue of its victory over UCLA.

The Sportseer--
(Continued from page seven)
did we beat Syracuse, West Virginia and Holy Cross last years
or Ohio Stale in 1956; or Illinois in 1954?
A coach can only do so much. He can't block and tackle Satur
day afternoon—and Penn State sure needed a lot of blocking and
tackling against Nebraska. (If you don't believe that, watch the game
movies tonight in 10 Sparks Building. One assistant coach who saw
the movies called the game the worst he has ever seen Penn State
play.)
So there my friends (and I hope I still have some) is the answer
to Penn State's "humiliating, embarrassing, surprising, shocking and
discouraging" defeat to Nebraska. Let's forget about "what hap
pened" against Nebraska and think about the Quakers they're
probably thinking about us.
HOW GREEN WAS MY CAMPUS
Don't tell me: I know how busy you've been! L Imow all the
things you've had to do in the opening days of the school year
registering, paying fees, finding lodgings, entering a drag race,
getting married, building a cage for your faccoon. But now,
with all these essentials out of the way, let us pause and join
bands and take, for the first time, a long, leisurely look at our
campus.
Ready? Let's gol
We begin our tour over here on this lovely stretch of green
sward called The Mall. The Mall, as we all know, was named in
honor of our distinguished alumnus Fred Mall, inventor of the
opposing thumb. Before Mr. Mall's invention, the thumb could
not be pressed or clicked against the other fingers. As a result,
millions of castanet makers were out of work. Today however,
thanks to Mr. Mall, one out of every three Americans is gain
fully employed making castanets. (The other two make croquet
wickets.) Mr. Mall is now 106 years old and living in seclusion
on a sea cliff in Wellington, Kansas, but the old gentleman is
far from idle. lie still works twelve hours a
..day in his labora
tory, and in the last year has invented the tuna, the cuticle,
and lint.
But I digress. Let us resume our tour. At the end of The
Mall we see a handsome edifice called The Library. Here books
are kept. By "kept" I mean "kept." There is no way in the
world for you to get a book out of the library ...No, I'm
wrong. If you have a stack permit you can take out a book,
but stack permits are issued only to widows of Presidents of the
United States. (That lady you see coming out,of the library
with a copy of Girt of the Limikerlost is Mrs. Millard Fillmore.)
Next to The Library we see the Administiation Building.
Here one finds the president of the universitY,the deans, and
the registrar,. Accordin g to ancient academic usage, the president
is always called "Prexy." Similarly, the deans are called "Dixie"
and the registrar is called "Boxy." Professors are called "Proxy"
and housemothers are called "Hoxy-111oxy." St,udents are
called "Algae."
Diagonally across The Mall we see the Students Union. It is
a gay mad place, frankly dedicated to the fun and relaxation
of we undergraduates. Here we undergraduates may enjoy
ourselves irLone of two ways—with filter &without. We under=
graduates who prefer filters, prefer Marlboro, of course. Oh,
what a piece of work is Marlboro! The filter filters, the taste is
smooth but not skimpy, mild but not meagre.
We undergraduates who prefer non-filters, prefer Philip
Morris, of corns. It is a natural smoke, a clean smoke, a flavor
ful, zestful, pure and peaceful smoke ... Now hear this: Philip
Morris and Marlboro each come in a choice of two packs—
crushproof Flip-Top Box or the familiar Soft Pack.
So now, as the setting sun casts a fiery aura over the spires
and battlements of our beloved campus, let us hie ourselves to
our tobacconist's and lay in a night's supply of Marlboro or
Philip Morris, and then let us, lowing, wind slowly o'er the lea
to our dormitories and sit upon our army surplus cots, spent
but content, and smoke and dream and hark the curfew toll the
knell of parting day. Aloha, fair campus, aloha!
For a complete tour of smoking pleasure try filtered Marlboro
and non-filtered Philip Morris, whose makers take pleasure
in bringing you this column •throughout the school year.
