PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Spring Week Carnival: A Profitable Tiadition The Spring Week Carnival is more than a social event on campus, it is a fund-raising project that annually adds thousands of dollars to a student scholarship fund. An estimated $4,500 was earned for student scholar ships by the Carnival Saturday night. In view of this huge financial success of Spring Week, coupled with the social success of the event, we strongly believe it should not be replaced -by a float parade as proposed at the Interfraternity Cp,uncil meeting last week. In order •for a float parade to duplicate the amount earned:by the Carnival this year, the Spring Week Com munee would have to charge a t non-returnable enhance fee of over $lOO for each.float if the parade drew the same number of entrants as did Carnival this year. We believe that this added expense would be insur- mountable for many groups desiring to enter Spring Week In addition to the financial importance - of the Carni val, we feel "it has certain advantages such as the good will and student spirit associated with carnival which would be lessened if it was eliminated, c At Carnival tine, all groups participating work in the same general area erecting theii booths, whereas floats are usually built in near secrecy.lhus, the spirit generated by everyone working together, but still competing against one another would be Inst. We feel this close association of bne student group with another is a strong point in favor of retaining the Spring Week Carnival: n _ _ In addition; the feasibilitSr of having a float parade in the fall , in conjunction with' Homecoming seems to be almost a certainty. We believi that this is a more natural, time for , a float paradO and, that it should be held then Instead pf replacing the annual spring Carnival. Finally, we would hate 'to see Penn State lose one of its few traditions—Spring Week Carnival p with its crowds and laughter, its highly original skits, its lights, its rideg and its colorful come-on attractions outside the tents which urge everyone to "come inside and see the show!"
