COMMENTING ON FINLAND
THE DISILLUSIONMENT that led Dor
othy Thompson to remark that the demo
cracies rapidly were becoming a burial as
sociation finds many an echo in collegiate
comments on the recent conclusion of the
Russo-Finnish war. Praise there has been
io• a brave people crushed beneath the
weight of superior man power, knit the col
lege press has not been content to close a
vital chapter in history with mere praise,
according to the Associated Collegiate
Press.
"Who is responsible?", is a question ask
ed, and the Kent Stater of Kent State Uni
versity speaks for many when it answers:
"Hesitating John Bull has slept through
another diplonlatic battle, and Finland lines
up in the graveyard with the Czech and
Polish tombstones, marking the stages of
mortification of British military position in
her war with Germany "
Others, as typified by Harvard Univer
sity's Crimson, are not so sure "Easy it
is," the editor wides, "for Monday morn
ing quarterbacks to throw in their happy
after thoughts, then• 'should have done's'
Perhaps the Allies 'should have' decided
lntrher to bolster the Finn forces,..but the
gamble was a dangerous one. Gallipoli
taught Mr Churchill the costs of troop
landings on unknown coasts. Britain could
ill violate Scandinavian neutrality while
posing as the enemy of international ban
ditry And an Allied expedition of at best
80,000 soldier s would hardly have with
stood a Russo-German onslaught. As for
Sweden, her unwillingness to serve as Le
bensraum for frustrated World War H is
certainly understandable"
It's the proverbial six of we and half a
.diren of another as editorial comment
passes hack and forth
' •
Despite the discussion of the past, it is
the riddle of the future which perplexes the
Collegian
With a complete appreciation for the
Aught of the plucky Finns, with a keen
sympathy for then position, and as Intel
as the affair flares our moral indignation,
tne Collegian still shudders at the thought
of another Arno lean attempt to balance by
imlitary interference the inequalities of
periodically wal -torn Europe.
TRAFFIC REGULATIONS
borough have been imp' oved considerably
by the recent placement of stop signs at
clangs , ' ous intersections.
This safety measure was requested by
the MI-College Cabinet. Students should
abide by the iegulahons in an effort to fur
ther establish the favorable bonds of coop
eration between borough officials and stu
dents
SPRING AGAIN
NO LONGER covered with a deep blan
ket of snow, Penn State's campus is begin
ning to display the first signs of Spring
through the efforts of the Department of
Grounds and Buildings
New grass seed, various varieties of trees
and shrubbery, and other beautifying ef
fects will he included in the general land
scaping of the entire campus.
Penn State's campus has the enviable re
putation of being one of the most beauti
ful in the country. The scenic beauty of
the surrounding countryside aids mater
ially in keeping this reputation.
But it is only through the cooperation of
tle student body that the campus grounds
can be maintained in a manner which fits
their surroundings. The tradition of our
campus care and campus pride is far-reach
ing. Let's uphold that tradition. _

The Worm Turns
Froth, please note Burgess Leitzell, this
item is not for you,
After constantly being the subject of
stories in the Hai yard Lampoon (high class
humor magazine which voted Oomph Girl
Ann Sheridan least likely to succeed), Cam

Embarrassing Moments
If A rni e Laich could have seen two
months ahead at the beginning of this se
mester, he would never have scheduled
Speech 300 (radio speaking). Prof. Tyson
had him prepare a radio interview on camp
hs politics and made him quiz persons on
candidate's chances in the coming election
One interviewee, Ruth Milt°, (who claims
to know very little about campus politics)
brought the house down when answering
Laicli's question, "And what about the can
didates for All-College president'?"
"Oh, I'd vote toi Tom Backenstose. He's
such a nice fellow and has held office be
fore," she said

Backenstose is Laich's opponent in the

Strong Arm Methods
Langrave Tremame Dunlap (Prof Dun
lap of the math department) belied his
name in Philly over the Easter Holidays.
Langrave Tremame fought off an armed
licild-up man who attempted to lob him as
he stepped into his auto. Calculating care
fully and multiplying his blows rapidly,
Dunlap ,drove his assailant away and got
his name On the Inquirei's front page (not
necessin ily considered an honor) Retui n
ing to State College, Dunlap found a wel
coming commDttee at the University club
and a gang of flags and banners shouting
in big letters, "Welcome Home, Our Con
quering Hero I"
Dear Dr. Prof. Mr. Banner
On the chance that you might, by acci
dent, by mistake, entnely without mean
ing to, absolutely unintentionally, read this
column which you "never read" we'd like
,to ask you how yom name got on the Jam -

What Price Skiing?
Sigma Pi John Puce outlined a long
range plan under which the ski club intends
raising money to Ray Conger's Recreation
Class Tuesday it seems that eight boys
took out 20-year endowment insurance pol
,cies on which the club pays the premiums
After a score of years, the club collects
14000 Now to Inn iy this up, all the club
has to do is to construct a 200-foot ski
!amp for the exclusive use of these eight
members.

We Worn ellill
The recent tragedy near our
campus has brought to light sev
eral situations not formerly recog
hued For one thing, coeds have
been accosted—not seriously, but
embarrassingly—by men on cam
pus or in town At the time, these
events may not have seemed im
portant enough to report to their
hostesses or to student govern
ment But, in the light of recent
happenings, these minor incidents
assume a great importance
In the future, women should
cooperate with then government
and administration by reporting
these things, no matter how harm
less they seem at the time In this
way, and only in this way, can
they be remedied before they be
come more serious.
There are other ways students
can help Women engaged in
extra-curricular activities which
keep them out after regular hours
should knOw berme they leave
their dormitm ies and houses that
they will not,have to return alone
at a.late hour, Student leaders in
charge of these extra-curi icular
activities must consider it their
duty to make cei tam that none of
their charges do return home
alone.
Before giving late pei Missions
dormitory hostesses ate checking
to see that women will be proper
ly esece ted—either by men or
other women—when they retain
With the full cooperation of ad
ministration, hostesses, and espe
cially of the students themselves,
all of these precautions can be
taken with very little effort
