Wanted to Know About But Were Afraid to Ask atres. The arbors serve as weights on a pully system that allow props to be raised or lowered onto and off the stage. ABBOTT AND COS- TELLO LIVE IN CHESTNUT On your travels through the Glassboro campus, have you ever noticed a small pond near Chestnut, with a large variety of shop- ping carts in it? Have you ever wondered about the name of this intriguing pond? This small body of water is known as Abbotts Pond. It is believed to be named after a local farmer who owned the land where half of the GSC campus is now lo- cated. Legend has it that a young boy drowned in this pond in the late 1950s. So when you prepare your shop- ping cart for the deep six, remember the leg- end of Abbotts Pond. I ' LL TAKE COL- LEGE NEWSPAPERS FOR 200 PLEASE. While eating lunch and reading The Whit, did you ever notice that your sandwich turns black? If so, it is proba- bly because the ink from the paper transfers onto your fingers, hands, arms, face, etc. Upon interviewing a member of The Whit, I discovered the very complex and in-depth reason for this problem. I was told that their publisher, who shall re- main nameless, uses a poor quality of ink. To solve this problem, The Whit would probably need more funds from the SGA, or would have to switch publishers. I don ' t know about you, but I wouldn ' t feel like my Thursdays were complete without a lit- tle of The Whit ' s ink on my hands.

So prepare your- self for these mind-bog- gling, truly fascinating pieces of trivia, and maybe, just maybe someday they will ap- pear on Jeopardy. HELLS BELLS?? Are there really bells in the bell tower atop the Edgar F. Bunce Hall? One might believe that the bell tower is just a worn out, over- used, advertising prop that appears on just about every pamplet and brochure printed for this school. Howev- er, there are actual me- chanical bells inside the tower. These bells were donated by Glassboro ' s Alumni Association and joyously ring out each May to start the gradua- tion ceremony. Everything You Always Glassboro State College . . . YOUR DOOR IS AJAR! I, like most students, have an occasional class in the very much run- down Bunce Hall. When walking up the steps to enter Bunce, I immediately notice this very strange and rusty metal bar. This bar is sometimes holding the door open, however most of the time it just lies there leaving fos- sil-like impressions of rust onto the cement. As I walk into the building, I see more of these bars holding the doors open inside. I thought it was strange to have these weird metallic pieces of material serving as door stops, so I investigated. The conclusion reached from my investigation revealed that these met- al bars are called arbors and are used in the Wil- son and Tohill The- f = § 10
