Spring Weekend Provides Fun for All
Large Crowds Laugh,' Shiver
While Enjoying Carnival Thrills
Barkers . promised "It's 2.6 r degrees warmer inside", and the
crowds came, saw, laughed, left and hurried to the next booth at
Saturday night's Spring Week Carnival.
The threat of rain became the threat of snow as collegians
and townspeople, anxious for the ,first outing since winter, put
on their slacks and duffer jackets and had a good time anyway.
The carnival started at 7:30 but of course it, wouldn't have
been carnival without last minute cries of "Where are the sta
ples?" "I need extra paint" and "I know I'll just freeze in this
outfit."
In the middle of the mass construction confusion, the Hearse
of the Rue Morgue drove down one, of the center paths. Con
vinced that something morbid lurked inside, one curious spec
tator peaked in only to find a blue-jeaned fraternity.man hauling
lights for his booth.
And despite the convictions of many that "we'll never be
ready," skits and bands got underway.
As usual each combo was louder than the one next door ,
But no one minded too much and soon even the shiest in the
crowd was tapping his toes and doing a slight moderation of the
twist. Musically inspired? or, just plain cold?
In front of one stand, five pretty coeds were going fhrough
their routine when one was singled out by a group of small male
admirers. "Hey, that's my teacher. There she is. Hello, Miss ... "
The slightly flushed lart7 happens to be student teaching in State
College. •
At another stand, two small lads were watching female
Mickey Mantles. "Who- are they, daddy?" one ventured. "Oh,
they play for some girls' team, son."
Keeping warm was the order of the evening and one group
apparently had little trouble. Periodically, the dancers and bands
men scooted behind the scenes and reappeared grinning. Closer
inspection revealed a- coffee maker, conveniently hooked up for
frequent warm-ups.
To attract customers, practically all the groups - sent agents
into the audience, bunny-hopping, shouting and threatening
"You'll be sorry if you don't see our show."
But the most convincing characters of all were the "belly
men" whose completely disproportionate proportions fascinated
everyone, including one little girl who wanted one "to take
home to play with. Where do you wind him up?" she squealed.
As midnight drew near, the lovely dancing ladies and hand
some men moved their shows outside for one last performance,
then turned into clean-up fiends to meet the 1 a.m. deadline.
ISA Passes Constitution,
Plans List of Activities
The Independent Student Association last night unani
mously approved a constitution and a list of activities for
next year.
The constitution, which will be presented to the Senate
Committee on Student Affairs for approval, provides that 20
independent students will be
elected to the ISA Board of Di
rectors, decision-making body of
the organization.
Board members will be elected
in campus-wide elections during,
the fall term. No stipulations as
to definite constituencies in resi
dence hall areas were made. A
president, vice president, secre
tary and treasurer of the board
will be elected from board mem
bers in the spring term each year.!
Temporary chairman Barry
Rein said that in this way the
board — lll al fur
experienced officers when new
members are, elected in the fall.
ISA activities approved for next
year will include two field days,
two Project Joeys, the Dink De
but, Indie Week, an alumni dance
and Indie Encampment.
The field days will consist of
coed track and field events,
with possible competition be
twe.m residence areas. One will
be held in the fall and one in the
spring,
ISA has formerly sponsored
one Project Joey, a program of
entertainment for orphans and
underprivileged c hildre n, at
Christmas time. The advantage of
having two programs, Rein said,
will be to help-these children at a
time of year such as Hallow
een or Easter when other groups
do not make plans to entertain
these youngsters.
The Dink Debut will be a com
bined freshman talent show and
dance I.eld during OrientatlOn
Week. Indie Week, which in
cludes fireside chats, jam sessions
and the Indie Queen contest, prob
ably will be held two weeks lat
er. In addition, plans will be made
for ISA to sponsor an alumni
dance during Homecoming Week
end.

Colorful Float Parade Features
Panorama of Amerlcan Histo-ry
While shivering spectators huddled together along the curbs,
the 1961 Float Parade literally blew by on Saturday. But despite
the winds and winter weather, the parade made a colorful tri
bute to "Our American Heritage:"
In the Colonization to 1800 period, the Boston Tea Party on
one float took on a modern look with "Lipton's," while on another
float, Betsy Ross sat serenely sewing her flag. .-
Freedom from the crown was depicted by a huge, graceful
eagle poised atop a golden crown while the American spirit pre
vailed with Uncle Sams in the traditional yeds, whites and blues.
No one knows what that poor boy did on the "Thou .Shalt
Not . . . " float but he was leaning over a chopping block with a
forlorn look on his face. The glare he was getting from his over
sized female partner was punishment enough.
"Why Did George Cross?" asked one group, but a look at
the rollicking .crew that was rowing the boat had many specta
tors wondering "How did he cross?"
As the pages of history continued to turn the gold rush,
American literature, the Chicago fire, the birth of the blues and
a colorful riverboat with revolving paddles paraded by.
The wonderful world of baseball displayed a raving spec
tator and •a thirsty fan both moving simultaneously with the
pitcher, catcher and batter.
The drama of Abraham Lincoln's untimely death was broken
when John Wilkes Booth shouted to the driver of the float "Hey
slow down, will you?"
And somewhere within the wairn confines of a whale, the
groaning of a half-devoured student startled a small spectator
who cried ".Get him out, Daddy, he wants to come out
As the turn of the century and the last third of the parade
approached, the Wright brothers's plane hovered dangerously
near a farmyard and the Spirit of Saint Louis soared above the
blue Atlantic.
The automobile age and the only-in-America banana split
were colorful reminders of "Our Heritage" as were the -almost
lifelike elephant and donkey of Selection by Election.
One float boasted that "Uncommon Valor was a CQUISTIOII
tue" it must have been for one Iwo Jima hero literally lost his
bead over the whole thing. •
Among the happiest groups in the parade were the Penn
State Players who rode on an old wagon singing and laughing at
the crowd while three scouts galloped ahead, two on horseback,
one on a speedy mule.
'The winners in the three categories of the float parade will be
announced tonight at the Awards Night ceremonies at the Skat
ing Pavilion.

IFC Adopts
Budget For
'6l-62 Year
The- Interfraternity Council
last night voted to approve its
budget for 1961-62.
Eugene Chaiken, secretary-trea
surer of LK', presented the budget
to, the :group and reviewed each
item. The budget was passed
without discussion.
In other business, the IFC dis
cussed the proposed borough or
dinance that is to become effec
tive July 1. According to this or
dinance, James Stadler, Theta Chi,
said each fraternity will be as
sessed $lB5 for the collection of
trash and rubbish.
Each borough resident will be
assessed for this compulsory
trash collection, he said, and the
fraternities will be included.
This proposed ordinance is un
satisfactory to some fraternities,
Stadler said. Some of the small
fraternities may have to carry un
due burdens, he said.
Petitions opposing this plan are
being circulated among the towns
people in opposition to this ordi
nance, he said. Stadler proposed
that the fraternities express their
feelings by submitting a signed
petition to the borough council.
In other business, Thomas De-
Rocco, Theta Xi, was appointed
chairman of IFC Board of Control
and J. Robert Banks, Phi Gamma
Delta, was appointed as Greek
Week chairman.
The final meeting for the se
mester will be held at 7:30 p.m.,
May 15, at Alpha Chi Sigma, Rich
ard Pigossi, IFC president, said.
