essful Revision
A Suc
Spring Week which ended last night with
was a highly successful program.
The revise
the Senior Ball
It was revised upon a recommendation of the Liberal
Arts Student Council to All-University Cabinet last semes
ter. And the changes made in- the schedule of events
facilitated its success.
In addition to these changes, excellent group partici
pation played an even greater role in the overall success
of Spring Week.
The Saturday date for Carnival gave many out-of
town people, townspeople 'and students, who otherwise
would have had studies and work to accomplish, the oppor
tunity to see the shows and share in the spirit ol the week.
The spacing of events over a 10-day period gave the
participating groups a chance to catch their breath and
retain the enthusiasm that was evident in the float parade.
Most important .of all, this year's Spring Week
reasserted its worth which had been previously questioned.
It clearly showed it is the most important group event
of the year. It showed it is a good way to bring groups
of students together in healthful competition. It is this
group spirit that makes the University strong.
One minor improvment is necessary, however, in
the planning of Awards Night. While it is definitely
valuable to have entertainment as well as the coronation
and presentation of awards, entertainment would be
better received and more effective if it were cut down.
Many who attend are there for one purpose—to find
out if they will be the group to receive an award. The
money spent for engaging two performers instead of one
could be added to the profits for scholarships,
Another evaluation of Spring Week will be made in
the near future to determine whether this year's program
was an improvement over those in the past. The evaluation
committee should recommend that this same program be
followed next year.

Bicycle Check
Will Continue
This Afternoon
Bicycles will be inspected today
from 9 a.m. to noon and from 1
to 4 p.m. at the rear of the Muni
cipal Building on S. Frazier St.
Over 300 bicycles have been
checked since the inspection
period started two weeks ago.
Bicycles will be inspected for the
next two Saturdays and until the
more than 160 Q bicycles in the
area have been checked.
State College police said minor
repairs should be taken care of
before the bicycles are brought
for inspection. Each bicycle must
have good tires and two sturdy
rubber pedals. If the bicycle is
to be ridden at night it should
be equipped with a headlight and
horn. The handlebars, brakes and
seat will also be inspected.
A fee of 25 cents is charged for
the inspection and an additional
25 cents for a license.
Anyone without a license for
his bicycle will be fined $5.
2 Found Guilty
In Pizza Theft
Restitution was accepted by
Frank Defltiri, owner of Home
Delivery Pizza, 129 S. Pugh St.,
after two University students were
found guilty of larceny at a hear
ing yesterday afternoon before
Justice of the Peace William P.
Bell.
Robert W. Berberich, a senior in
physical education from Munhall,
and Chester J. Piotrowski, a
sophomore in chemistry from
Schwenksville, were caught by
borough police at 12:46 am. to
day stealing pizzas from the Home
Delivery truck parked in the 100
block of E. Fairmount Ave.
Larceny is a felony that can
carry a fine of $2OOO or up to five
years in jail. If however, articles
stolen amount to less than $lOO,
as in this case, the victim can
accept restitution.
Defluri said he has lost more
money in the last two weeks from
people stealing his pizzas than he
i has made selling them. In the
last ten days, he said he has lost
$337 from thefts.

Tongue In Cheek
Student 1 nsurd nce—
Simple and Safe
I hate testimonials!
On the average they look false and at best they give
me a good case of the giggles. I very rarely read them,
and until now I had never thought of writing one. But last
week something happened to make me change my mind.
"Nothing will ever happen ti
me," I used to tell my friend's,
"I'm insured." My parents had
carried expensive health and
accident insurance for me,
which I thought was wasteful.
That struck me as
wasteful until last Sunday
when I landed on the operat
ing table at the Centre County
Hospital in Bellefonte where
my appendix and I separated.
This little unforseen incident
might have cost me next se
mester's tuition and room and
board. money. If might have
cost me the second-hand car
I want to get this spring. But
I was Lucky--I have a student
insurance policy that covers all
my expenses.
It wasn't intelligence or fore
sight that led me to invest my
$l5 in a Student Government
Association sponsored - plan. It
was just dumb luck. A letter
explaining student insurance
came to my home the same day
I cancelled toy old policy be
cause it cost so much to main
tain.
Anyway, at $l5 per year for
the fullest coverage imagin
able, the SGA plan was hard
to resist. So I didn't! And new
I know that I am fully insured
at anytime or place I happen
to be during the year—includ
ing vacations and traveling
time.
Without this hssuranco the
appendectomy would have cost
me approximately Me plus
$l5 a day hospital expenses for
two weeks-4 grand total of
$360.
As it stands - now, for $l5 I
am lying in a comfortable triek
bed that goes up and down
like a pullman car seat. I am
surrounded by flowers and
cards from friends and well
wishers.
I have three delicious meals
a day and my choice of menus.
I have a television set. I have
backrubs. I have evening
snacks. I have what seems like
hundreds of pretty and pleas
ant nurses and handsome doc
tors fussing over me and try
ing to please me.
And the year isn't over yet.
If anything - else should some
how .happen to me then are
benefits on my policy that I
haven't even touched.
I suddenly realized today as
I lay in bed-1 never had it se
good. But the object of this
column is definitely NOT to

convince readers to have ap
pendicitis. In fact I'm not even
trying to convince anyone that
just because student insurance
helped me everyone should be
insured. After all, I hate testi
monials.

TO THE EDITOR: I read with
interest the article, "Bickman
Places Ist in Canoe Contest"
in today's (Friday) edition of
the Collegian. I am deeply con
cerned—to note in the story a
tra"ic human weakness.
This is not the first time
that I have observed its symp
toms but it is the worst case
I have seen for some time.
wonder if it indicates a trend
which will someday destroy
civilization as we know it.
For the day that it becomes
impossible to distinguish be
tween a "man" and a "ham"
on clear typewritten copy, we
are all in danger of being
sliced into little strips of bacon
or sold as stuffing for a sand
wich.
