"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

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.
