TUESDAY, JUNE 9, 1959 1500 "Chocolate cone, This simple desir•, modified only in flavor preference, is expressed on an average of 1500 times daily in the Lion's Distinguished from the herd only by the words "large" .nning, the ever-popular phrase or "small" tacked on at the beg has resulted in the consumption of approximately 100 gallons of ice cream per day. This number, according to the most recent corn ptitations, shows an increase of 60 gallons over the fall and win ter figure of 40 gallons sold in a .day. Yes, spring has also affected the operation of the Lion's Den. But exactly what do these sta tistics mean? Perhaps they can be best interpreted in terms of several long-range effects. No doubt, the average Penn State coed has suffered a con siderable increase in waist meas urements which has, in turn, led to a campus-wide epidemic of bankruptcy, having its origin in the purchases of new clothes. The ice cream cone has atho played a very influential role in the recent outcrop of new ro mances. Instead of wasting pre cious hours in indoor coke dates, the Penn State romeo is now able to buy his fair Juliette her favor ite flavor cone and take her for a moonlight walk on the Mall. In addition, the Lion's Den reports a decrease in coffee sales, while the' amount of Coca-Cola syrup used per day has jumped from 8 to 16 and sometimes 20 gallons—a rise which can be easily explained by Penn State's unique climate. Tropical heat waves and hu mid, weekly (here defined as covering a seven-day span) jun gle rains have driven the aver age Penn Stater to wade to the ones a Day LYNNE CEREFICE MIS Lions Den. Two hundred and 10 pounds of hamburger meat, 45 pounds of American cheese, 30 pounds of salami, 40 pounds of balognia, and 70 pounds of ham compose the total amount of meat devoured in a normal week. Since these figures remain constant, regard- 1 less of weather changes, it is safe to say that the average Penn Stater retains his animal-like ap petite. During the course of a week, the Lion's Den supplies the ap palling number of 10,000 paper napkins and wooden spoons, 12,- 500 straws, and 7000 paper cups tb its huge following. The paper napkins, straws and cups lend themselves readily to the artistic compulsions which drive the Average Penn Stater to "add" something to his surroundings. But what about the wooden spoons? It must not be forgotten that, at this time of year espe cially, sorority and fraternity members are faced with the problem of shower and wedding gifts, and the attributes of a wooden spoon collection can not be denied from the view points of practicality and econ omy. It can be justifiably concluded that the Lion's Den, although not actually listed in the Penn State catalogue, has become an indis pensible part of the University's curriculum because of both its economical and sociological value.
