A Farewell to Yarns:
With electrons to the ,Senior staff of this sheet
scheduled for Sunday night, the year during which I
have scoured the dregs of humanity to pound out this
column ends and by a process of reincarnation an
other will take over this department. My troubled
spirit will float to the traditional Limbo of Ex-Cam
puseers to join the tribe of intellectual derelicts which
traces back beyond Beatty and Stegmaier through the
misty ages to the slaves who carved their stutron:the
stone columns of Egyptian temples.
It's always the prerogative of the aged to counsel
youth with worthless advice. So I leave mine to . my
successor in the form of a few definitions for a monu
mental "'Revised Collegiate Dictionary" which I re
cently conceived, but decided in the interests of Amer
ican literature not to publish:
College administration—An interlocking director
ate of Formulators of Policies, Executors of Plans,
and Makers of Decisions.
Conservatism—The crust of reaction present in
most departments which acts as a buffer between the
administration and the student body.
Chaperone—A person who can do as he or she
pleases at a social function without interference.

But what newspaper is the coupon
king of Centre County? To determine
the answer; we relied on the wholly
unscientific and unfair method of
checking yesterday's papers. The
• news is a bit surprising.
The Daily Collegian won.
In yesterday's paper, the Collegian
ran two coupons valued at a total of
$15.50. The Centre Daily Times had
eight coupons which could save
consumers more than $6.15 (one
coupon didn't list 'savings) and the
Mirror came up empty handed.
But then,. there's more to life than
coupons. •

The Nittany Lion you see today
may not be the Nittany Lion you see
tomorrow. In fact, he may not be the
Nittany Lion at all.
According to sources close to the
mane, mascot Andy Bailey will be
graduating this year and the Lion's
suit is up for grabs. But tryouts to fill
Bailey's paws will have a new twist,
this year. Each of the applicants for
the position will don the suit and
perform at a sporting, social 'or
spiritual event this term.
Few people will know whether they
are watching the real lion or a clever
facsimile. The idea is to observe how
well the candidate can imitate the
Lion's style, as well as the crowd's
reaction to the Lion hopeful.
But they can't fool us. You can't
hide those lion eyes.

Minutae: Oswald
has a heavy job
A Collegian reporter met with
University President John W. Oswald
this week while working on a story.
Oswald greeted the reporter and
asked him to "pick up this briefcase.",
Our reporter, a strapping six
footer, 'stood up and tried to lift the
briefcase. He could barely move it.
Oswald laughed. Now, he said, you
have some idea of how much work I
do. • • •
Our reporter later estimated that
the briefcase weighed 40 pounds. We
figure it contained a couple of bricks,
or perhaps several dining hall rolls.
A United Press International story
last week seems to show that tuition is
a steal in more ways than one.
According to the story, "it costs
more to keep a youngster in jail then
to send him to a swanky college." Los

keeping a juvenile in jail is $21,000,

residents of Pi Lamb house, when

Participants first signed 'consent
forms, similar to forms signed during
swine flu • inoculations without
mention of death or paralysis. Then,
participants were given foods to
sample. Some people got chocolate

sundaes, one marked "P" and the
other marked "K." "P" tasted
better. •
Joseph H. Mac Neil, professor of
food science and instructor in the
course, said the purpose of the test
was to teach students how to conduct
similar experiments.. Previous tests
have included soft drinks, ham
burgers and milk. • •
Members of the clash are assem

When you picked up your copy of The Daily Collegian today, you
picked up one of the very best college newspapers in the country.
For, much of the past century, Collegian has been recognized
nationally with hundreds of top honors in major competitions. The
past months have brought Collegian continued success and
recognition.
*1986 Regional Pacemaker Award for excellence in
journalism.
The Pacemaker Award is sponsored jointly by the Associated •
Collegiate Press and the American Newspaper Publisher's Association.
A Regional Pacemaker Award is based on excellence in news content
and coverage, opinion content, graphics, photography and editing. In
November 1985, Collegian was awarded a National Pacemaker,
selected from a possible 500 entrants. Six Pacemakers were awarded
in 1985.
* 1986 Trendsetter Award for excellence in business
and advertising.
This award is sponsored by the College Newspaper Business and
Advertising Managers (CNBAM). Out of 160 CNBAM members, only
one Trendsetter is named each year. The 1986 award, the second we've
received since 1980, was based on The Daily Collegian's training
programs, marketing and sales efforts, and effective overall
•
management.
We are pleased to be honored by our peers in the college newspaper
industry, but our search for quality doesn't end at an awards ceremony.
For us, each issue is a product of the teamwork of 300 staff members
in 21 departments working around the clock. Each publication day we
work together to bring you the very best newspaper we can produce.
Many generations of staff members have dedicated themselves to
bring about the evolution of today's Collegian from The Free Lance,
which began in April 1887. Through the example of their commitment,
we have learned to accept each award as a sign of recognition that very
hard work will be rewarded.
We have also learned that the legacy we leave future generations is
more than a trophy case full of hardware; the true reward is a respect
for serious commitment and an appreciation for the experience each
staff member takes away from Collegian.
Many people have contributed to our success, and we would like to
thank you:
ri To the people of The Pennsylvania State University. You provide
an atmosphere that allows excellence to flourish.
M To the faculty and staff of the Penn State School of
Communications. Your interest and encouragement are greatly
appreciated. •
MI To the Collegian alumni. Our appreciation of your tradition of
quality and dedication keeps us inspired. We will strive to continue to
honor that tradition.
®To our readers and advertisers, who provide the reason and means
for our endeavors. We hope you enjoy reading your copy of today's
issue.
