TO THE EDITOR: It was ironical
to'read the criticism expressed by

hope that Mr. Thomas might sub

methods. The results speak fcir
themselves. I would like to add

his obvious contribution to our

3 Coeds- Attack Froth
TO THE EDITOR: Having read
previous issues of Penn State
Froth, we feel the need to com
ment on the October 1962 issue.
In the past Froth has been humor
ous; however, dirt is a poor sub
stitute for clevernesi and origi-
nality. If this is an example of
the literary talent of Froth's
writers, extlarging the sales. pro-

HAPPINESS CAN'T BUY MONEY
Can education bring ha Opine.f
This is a question that in recent years has cam.ed much
lively debate'and several hundred stabbings among American
college pmfemors. Some contend that if a student's intelliA
is sufficiently aroused, happinms wilrlyntomatically follow,
Others say that to concentrate on the intellect and ignore the 4 `
rest of the personality can only lead to misery.
I myself favor the second view, and I offer in evidence the
welt-known case of Agathe Fusco.
Agathe, a forestry major, never got anything less ths.n- a
straight "A", was awarded her B.T. (Bachelor of Trees) in
only two years, her N.1.5:11. (Master of Sap and !lark) in only
three, and her D.B.C. (Doctor of Blight and Cutworms) in
only four.
Academic glory was hers. Her intellect was the envy of
every intellect Jan on campus. But wax she happy? The
answer, alas, was no. Agathe—she knqw not why--wax muter
able, so miserable, in fact, that one day while walking n,enisa
campus, she was suddenly so overcome with melancholy- - that

you're so - unhappy, hey?" said B. Twinkle.
"Suppose you tell me, you dumb old liberal arts major,"
replied Agathe peevishly

"All right, I will," said It. Twinkle. "You are unhappy for
two reasons. First, becaue you have been NO busy stuffing

got nothing against learning, mind you, but a pcokon oughtn't

thinga. Have you, for instance, ever bt , en to a dance?"
'Agathe shook her Fowl.
"Have you ever watched a sunset! Written a poen*? Smoked
a Marlboro Cigarette?"
Agathe othook her head. •
"W'ell, we'll fix that right nolor!"aaid R.Twinkle and gave her
a Marlboro and struck a match.
She puffed, and then• for the first time in twelve or fifteen
years, she. arnik;cl. she cried. "Mitribortsi are a fin) thing:
What flavor! What, filter! What pack or hot.! What a lot-to

another unhappy day!"
"Hold!" mid R. Twinkle. "Marlboro , ' alone will not noble
your problem—only half of it. Renumber I mid there were
two things making you unhappy?"-
"Oh, yeah,P said Agsthe:-"What's the other one?"
"How king have you had that bear trap on .your loot?"
said R. Twinkle.
"I stepped . on it during a field trip in my freshman year;"
said Agatha. "I keep meaning to hare it taken off."
"Allow me," said It. Twinkle and removed it.
"Land sakes, what a relief!" said Ag,athe, now Wally happy,
and took It. Twinkle's hand and let. him to a Marlnure, vendor . *
