device. A device whereas we, as

The College of Lock Haven is not

to be, but the college tries to offer opportunities for the s t u d e n t s
to become aware of the p r o p a g a n d a
which is roaming the country.

.\nother competitor in the 121 lb.
class is Joe "hairless" Manmiller,
\vho claims Steelton, Pa., as his
stamping grounds. Joe proved himself to be worthy of praise in both
hi.gh school and college. The 12S

and sicknesses.

should be a few changes in the
lower weights. .\t the beginning
of the season, Tony "Lover" A'erga
a grappler from last year, had undergone several operations which
orevciited his entering into varsity
spoits. Tony maintained a very
outstanding high school record in
I'lrie, Pa., and is going a wonderful
job for us at the Itfi lb class. In
the l.^ii lb class, Jim Maurey, another Clearfield boy, has been holding his own for us. Jim has pinned every one of his opponents thus
far.
From Philipsburg, Pa., Lee
"Muscles" Perna is doing a wonderful job in the Ifi.l lb class. Lee
set a good pace in high school
wrestling. "Cal" Hugar also from
Clearfield has been doing his helpful share toward our victories. The
17.1 lb class involves Homer "The

Hu Bois high school gladiator, who
ijas gotten very good results in
spite of his spotting 11 lbs to all
opiionents.

The heavyweight class is held

Charlie Macintosh take their wives

machines are low, it couldn't tell
where *he post card ended, and
Mac's hand began. Charlie thought
It a bit odd when he noticed only
one member dangling from his
shoulder, as he was sure he had
two hands when he left Lock Haven. All went well however, for
the error was soon discovered and
t4ie disobedient appendage extracted. T. C. can now lay claim to the
only man in captivity with three
cancelled fingers on his left hand.
"While in New York, let me tell
you about Pat Bodle, Dit Bossert,
and Marge Cook who went to the

had a "bully" time. Though it is a
little ditticult at first, sleeping with

THE

Our Daze....
By PHYL BTIUMB.'MIGH

/

It seems to me that ii'iw is the
time to tie iiji :' lot of loose ends
that have been fl.\'ing aro'jiid. This
is the first p:tper since the Chli.-;!nias issue, and tb" program bas
certainly been varied between then
and now.
1. We arrive back from the Xmas
vacation (not too chipper of course,
but then what can you expect on
,Ianii' 2nd — complete recuperation?)
2. For about two weeks we bury
our noses in oui' books ('Tis noted
that the end of the second week
the noses go in deeper — guess
what's coming next week?)
3. Test week—Oh .ioy, (This expression is borrowed from Ann Curran) we are now at the end of the
semester. But, before our deah, in• structoi'S say "cheerio" to us.—They
throw everything in the hook at us
(Those people hit especially hard
even claim
the teachers
have
thrown the book). The lucky people
who can catch or snag an .\, B, or
C retire happy. Some get stovcd
fingers and stumble through with
a D, but into every life some rain
must fall—The poor butterfingers
-^those who miss and get F's. WeU,
they probably liked the teacher ao
well
they
couldn't
stand
the
thought of parting. After all, they
say it takes all kinds.
4. Break between semesters—now,
you must admit that it's mighty
nice to be getting a vacation after
only 3 weeks of school.
Won't
someone please drop that idea in
the suggestion box?
'^. Back we come to register—for
this Job we should be paid. The
ability to get a schedule set up
t h a t Is copa-settic is an art in Itself and deserves at least a degree
of B. S. (Butchered Schedule).
(i. The nose Is on the grindstone
—.\gain! Now tor some of the details—
Lucille Callahan Cohick Is no
longer with us, since the duties of
managing a home and going to
schoo! were Just too much. 'We're
sorry to see you go, Cally, but best
wishes for a long, happily married
lite.
To the casual observer it might
seem as though they had installed
more electric lights in the D. R.,
but a thorough investigation would
prove 'taint so—all that glitter and
shine is the result of Christmas
presents—the stones (third finger,
left hand) belonging to Lillian Conser. Laiir.a Mae ^lacKenzie and .lane
Brown.
T hope it's not too late to tnention, but we of the D. R. certainly
did appreciate the Christmas tree
we had for the holida.v season.
Many thanks to Bauman, Currin,
Seehrist and all the others who
helped with the decorations.
Doc Kilsdonk reported having a
good time in Rochester when she
was up to see .Tan Sackett.
As might be expected there's been
a complete turnover in the list of
student teachers, so some familiar
faces are back, and others are
among the missing. Frances June
iSlenker reports loving to get the
7:10 a. m. bus for Jersey Shore.
Speaking ot a bus reminds me
ot Margaret Harris. She is suffering from a bus-missing phobia.
Four times In one day she missed
the bus for Jersey Shore. She even
missed the bus and left her boyfriend waiting on the other end of
the line. Will wonders never cease?
Ruth Kaler, Mary Agnes Gardner,
Jean Cummings, Emma Kerstetter,
Bea Crites, and Pat Bodle from the

'. I:. Wf'ie iiiemhcrs of tbe Bel
'anto.'.i ;;i'oiip that enjoyed the trip
11 .v. V. C. during the betweenic'i'e.-^teis In-'iik.
Rachel Markley is now stayinu
in the llorm, and Sue Simcox dejial't'.d at the end of tbe lilst semester.
Do you have a cold? .Xie your
arches falling?
Does your nose
run?
If so, see Jane Pletcher—
slie can give you a Dr.'s "subscription" for any of these ailments.
.Mary Agnes Gardner and 1 spent
tlie first weekend in January at
Ruth Kaler's home, and we certainly did have fun. Ruth and 1 went
.•^katin.g while Mark .'Vgnes tried
sled riding—although 1 must admit she did it the bard way. It
seems she didn't know you're to
get on the sled and then go, so
she did look funny skidding along
flat on her—flat on the ice pulling
the sled behind her.
.\ny extra noise in tlie 1). R. lately can be attributed to Anna
Brown—something about a "B" in
Rnglish Lit.
Alice 'i'oxthiemer, I'm terribly
sorry but T Just couldn't think of
any way to get your name in this
time.
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime.
J u s t by asking foolish questions
And taking up tbe teacher's time.
With this bit of wisdom I leave
you for now.
Be seeing you,

Letters to the Editor
(From Page Two)
.inly natural, therefore, t h a t all stulents would want to vote.
T believe that one reason why so
'r.w men vote is the fact t h a t the
lections are held in the Otfice of
the Dean of Women. Psychologiallv the effect of stepping into the
office of a dean of women and up
o a ballot box guarded by two
'iirls is inevitable. The male wouldbe voter decides that this is "girl's
stuff" and gives the voting process
a wide berth. T would suggest that
Mie place for class elections be one
'if the recreation rooms or Social
Square.
All students will benefit by t a k ing part in school elections. It is
important, not so much for the
".'ood of the school as tor the good
of the individual himself, t h a t he
take part in the management of the
school,

Dear Hditor:
Tt's a shame that the performance
of the Baltimore Symphony had to
be spoiled by the blinking of tbe
\uditorlum lighting system. Is it
not possible for a competent electrician to be hired before the next
program to do away with this
trouble? Must approval from Harrisburg be secured for this annoyance to be fixed?
A FRESHMAN
Editor's Note:
Pop Nevil takes care of our
lighting' systera in the auditorium,
and it is the general opinion that
he is doing a swell Job.

hears when appro'u-hing tho boys*
dayrooin.
Almost *-\i'Vy liour of
the school day two fellows without
a class are playin'-i as if their lives
depi^nd upon it. A ny str.-i ngor might
think this ganu' a regulir part of
the curricul.'i.
Inside thL' single iflom one finds
the pingpong table occupying most
of the space. Around the walls are
some lockers, far too few for tbe
need. Scattered elsewhere are a
minimum of broken-down chairs
and tables. Directly to the right
of the entrances is an old dilapidated couch which might have ite'-n
puichased Ihe year our colleg'- w: s
built. Not only is it ready to fall
apart at any time, but the springs
have sagged imtil anyone attempting to relax on it feels like a
thwarted pretzel. The pingpnn J
balls have a habit of contin iutll>
rolling under this couch, making
the ginie much more rugged than
was ever planned.
Studying is an imposslbilit.v because of these factors: the pingponr;
games eternally in progress, ttucondition of the chairs,- the lack of
space, and the general atmosphere
of the dayroom. The fact that i^
is in the basement only iieightons
the similarity to a waterfront dive.
Adding a pi aio, inexpertly played,
a sawdust floor, and a bar would
merely complete the illusion.
We leave the men's da.vroom temporarily, stopping to look into th<
girls' before wandering up tbe
steps to the social rooms. In the
feminine lealm we are surprised
by one item. They have room to
breatbel According to rumo]' (no
man is allowed to tresspass in their
domain) they occupy tliree rooms
the smallest of which is largei
than the men's. Tn the main room
are two or three pingpong tables,
a piano and .several sturdy chairs
Who knows what treasures the
other rooms conceal?
On the main floor of the school
we come across the social rooms
the dorin students "home away
from home." Again we count three
and start counting to ten. Filled !
to overflowing with finely-built '.
well-upholstered chairs and couches, these rooms are the epitome of

A iir| iidvs , tl i.-ilM-ar'eneil at the
sight i»r s'H'h oppulent splendor,
we slowly shuifle bark to the men's
dayroom. We ilo not
Ir-grudge
what tht sc others have, but somewhere we hoard tlie world equality.
Suddenly we pause in our
tracks, recalling a short paragraph
we once read.
"Special quarters are maint Ined for dayroom men and women
. . . Each dayroom center has a
large
recreation
?oom.
student
kitchen, dining room, rest room,
and lavatories . . . All rooms are
being completely renovated . . . "
We are cheered by this thought.
Someday, someday they are goingf
to renovate the dayroom. it says
so right in the Compass.

Formal Dinner Given
In Dining Hall
A formal dinner was accorded to
all married students of the college
on Tuesday evening, J a n u a r y 28th.
Close to twenty couples were
present, along with dayroom students, and an excellent meal w a s
served.
After dinner. Miss Rebecca F.
Gross, editor of the Lock Haven

the student's importance in the future.
Introductions were made by ^(iss
Virginia Gunsallus, and music was
provided by a group of musicians
from the college.
