Coeds Will
Compete In
Bike Derby

lar4e number of bicycles on
campus this week, you'll know
that coeds are practicing their
peddling for Saturday's bi
cycle derby.
Bicycle Derby Day is sponsored
for the first time this year by The,
Daily Collegian. It will begin at,

But practice may not help par-:
tic ipants in this bicycle battle.

toward fun rather than
alone. Spectators will have justi
as many laughs as Bicycle Derby'
participants.
An obstacle race will appropri-1
ately show some of the obstacles)
a Collegian reporter meets when]
trying to track down a story oni
campus. Riders may find that get
ting through Old Main is harder
than they thought.
The winner of the Bluebook)
Race will be hte rider who can,
put off reaching the finish line)
the longest. And coeds trying tol
travel at a snail's pace without
deviating from a given lane cant
provide some fun for everyone)

Penn State, the final decision is
up to the Board of Trustees. Dean
seemed to feel, however, that In

for some time yet, anyway," he
said.
And thus, this spring many
students and Universities have
again been tossing compulsory
ROTC back and forth in lengthy
and often heated verbal battles.
But what do the military heads'
