By REBECCA ALBERT
Collegian Staff Writer
All across town and campus, items ranging from
mittens to mugs emblazoned with the magic words
"We're No. 1" -= are selling like Hurricanes on
Bourbon Street.
"At Last!" a bumper sticker sold at Balfour
House, 326 E. College Ave., expresses the senti
ment of many. People have been rushing to buy
anything that reflects Happy Valley's recent topic
of conversation Penn State's victory in the Sugar
Bowl and the winning of the National
\ Championship.
"We've had requests for just about everything
T-shirts, hats, blankets, totebags just about
anything," said Barb Greenawalt, a clerk at Bal
four House.
Balfour House sells five or six different styles of
long and short sleeve T-shirts sporting the national
championship motif, she said. Everything has been
going well.
"We've been getting calls from all over Flor
ida, Texas, New York," Greenawalt said. "People
have been asking what we have and how they can
get it.
"We can hardly keep up with the rush."
Balfour House isn't the only place that offers
satisfaction to Nittany Lion fans afflicted with blue
and white fever. The Student Book Store, 330 E.
College Ave., has seven different styles of national
championship long and short sleeve T-shirts and

She said seven more styles will be arriving at the
store soon.
"We got shirts in on Monday at 2 p.m. and the

before we could price them," Adams said. "I think

shirts, she said.
"We're getting bumper stickers, license plates,
caps, plastic cups and pennants," Adams said.
"The suppliers are understanding and are getting
the stuff out as, fast as we call them."

soon be getting include plastic mup, glasses, big
tankers, pennants, bumper stickers, golf caps, key
chains and more, Raimo said.
The store will also be getting a large cardboard

their own hands, she said.

that," Raimo added.
"Hundreds of people" have been coming in to
