Campus Beat
Early Thaw
Brings Jazz
And Puddles
Once again the weather is
the topic of conversation in
informal jam sessions. Two
weeks ago it was about all
the snow, but now it's about
the coming monsoons.
The snow melting did cause
one - problem. That was how to
get across the wide puddles. How
ever, some coeds in the Pollock
area were forhinate enough to
have , a delivery man ask them if
they wanted to ride in his-truck
to get over some of the puddles.
If you see a lot of the senior
men looking at a lamp post on
the mall near the library, don't
think they are going out of their
mind. They are just jealous of
its number-4-F.
Carried away, I guess, would
be the best way to describe . the
four or five spectators who start
ed to-do the twist while standing
on chairs during the Ray Charles
concert.
I am sure glad• to see that
basketball programs are being'
sold at Rec Hal = for the home !
games. It's so much easier to en
joy a game when you know who
is playing.
A sure sign that spring is just
around the corner is the men
tossing baseballs on the lawns
where the snow has melted.
*
It seemed like the old days last
week as several unsuspecting
visitors tried to• drive down the
forbidden sector of Pollock Rd. in
front of Carnegie. The chain had
been taken down to help facili
tate snow removal.
I have just been informed by
the registrar that I will be able
to schedule my classes at Whip
pies when the weather warms up.

Chatter Date Topic
Sorority spring rush is well underway, and by now ap
proximately 650 women have learned that the one thing that
[every rushee absolutely must do at a chatter date is, obvious
ly, chatter.
,
The primary object of any rushee is to impress sorority
women, and one of the best ways
is with a topic of conversation so
new and exciting that it couldn't
possibly have been discussed be
fore. Naturally, after discussing
the same old campus topics hour
after hour, sisters will appreciate
anyone who can bring .u, some
thing new
Tuesday rtight. some rushee
outdid herself in this area. She -
found a conversational topic
that was bound to attract at
tention. She simply told the
sisters at her first chatter date
that Elizabeth Taylor had died.
It seemed plausible, after all,
Liz had been sick.
Her statement, dropped like a
bombshell. She found herself the
center of attention, happily an
swering all the questions sisters
asked her about the star.
Naturally after the sensation
she caused in the first suite, the
imaginative rushee couldn't re
sist trying it again in all the sor
ority suites she visited that night.
The word spread to other rushees
and other suites chaos reigned.
• Worried Liz Taylor fans
called The Daily Collegian of
fice to ask if the actress was
really dead. Surprisingly, no
word had been received from
the news and wire services on
the subject. However, staff
IhE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
members assured anxious call
ers that a speedy investigation
would be made.
The rushee, whoever she might ,
be, went back to her dorm, con- ;
fident that she had made an im
pression that sisters would long
remember. There was no doubt
that no one would equal her con . -:
versational topic for days to
come.
