profit on the carnival has not yet been determined.
Chilled customers bought about 7000 less tickets than last years mark of 45,000. Donald
Soebel, treasurer of Associated Student Af fairs, said he thought this was caused by

and the observers, Floaters, com
bo groups and questions such as
—"What did Gully see?" and "Was
Rip a Russian'" persuaded pro
fe,,cors, students and children to
lenter the show-filled tents.
The painted backdrops and
colorful costumes were appreciat
ed by a seated audience who
agreed that the abolition of
"standing room only was an ex
cellent idea.
The humorous skits satirized
the campus patrol. student gov
ernment, and community living.
"Darwin" pulled no strings as
he and the puppets aped the
segregation movement.
Crowds of people moved in and
out of tents, and the Nittany
Shack, chuckling over humorous
skits These satisfied show-goers
walked, skipped and danced by
bands that played every thing
from jazz to Hawaiian strains.
Parents looked twice at young
sters who had paper Frankie and
Johnny kisses planted on their
cheeks. Everyone noticed jugglers
in the crowd who balanced foot
long hoagies and apple taffy in
their right hands, pop corn and
pizza in their left, and cotton can
dy between their teeth.
Midnight sounded and everyone
jheaded for home—everyone that
is except pledges, helpers, and
Mother Goose who still had car

Education Service
Trains Apprentices
The University's Continuing
Education Sei vice has trained
mole than 800 apprentices in the
field of automatic sprinkler con
trol and fire prevention in a series
of correspondence courses since
1956.
Students in over 40 states have
participated in the program, which
includes courses in mathematics,
basic drawing, plan reading, ele
mentary hydraulics, report writ
ing and insurance.
Barton L. Jenks, associate pro
fessor of mechanical engineering,
coordinated the piogiam in which
mile other faculty members par

"There were lots of people mill
ing around," he_said, "but not as
many went in to see the shows "
He estimated that some of the best
profits were made on the rides.
The weatherman cooperated
by holding off the predicted
thunderstorms. Although a few
showers fell now and then, no
damage was done to any of the
booths.
Spring Week chairman Walter
Caplan described the carnival as
"one of the biggest successes we've
ever had here." It was crowded
from the minute we opened until
we closed," he said.
Caplan said that the evening
"went off without a hitch." He
said that "a few groups received
slight warnings to rewrite parts
lof their shows but. that none of
them involved major changes.
Winners of the carnival, float
parade and Olympics will not
be announced until tonight.
Awards Night and the crowning
of Miss Penn State will take
place at 8 p.m. in the Hetzel
Union ballroom. The decrease in
seating capacity caused by the
switch from Recreation Hall has
made it necessary to limit each
group to six representatives.
Preliminary points were award
ed to the groups by the judges
for the carnival and the float par
ade. These points have not been
announced. Over-all points will
be awarded for the three places
in each of the three parade and
four carnival categories.
Thirty points will he given for

TUESDAY. MAY 3. 1960
EEMIZO
TODAY is a day
California can well be
ashamed of. The taking
of Caryl Chessman's life
is a travesty, an ugly
blot on the annals of U.S.
law. The man has paid
over and over for his
crime and yet the law
demanded more. Even
tually the death penalty
will be repealed nation
ally as it has already
been in 8 states. Statis
tics have proved that the
maximum penalty has no
deterrent value whatever
on a person' bent on
committing mayhem. Na
turally, our fair state will
probably be the last to
repeal this medieval pas
time. Penna. politicians
in general are repulsed
on taking a stand on any
thing beyond improving
the fishing conditions for
constituents . . .. and on
this they make them
selves most vocal
CONCERNING the
supposed letter from Adie
Storm in Puerto Rico as pub
lished last week. Now that
the storm brewed by the
small but loud body of
those proclaiming to be the
Guardians of Virtue has
subsided, let it again be
stated for their benefit that
the letter was not written or
even sanctioned by poor
little Adie. Its publication
was also a revelation to her,
and not before that. Now
will those stoics be satisfied,
who fail to realize that this
column is scribbled off with
' tongue in cheek (usually). A
bouquet for Adie and her
lovely sisters.
APPOINTMENTS are being
accepted now for Mother's
Day group pictures in front
of your fraternity.

COEDS with their newly
acquired suntans never
looked lovelier. Let us prove
it to you. As of last week
we finally received our long
awaited radio controlled
electronic lamps. They make
for quite a difference. It's
almost painless now.
