Waring Dedicates New Song Tonight The new ,Penn State song, writ ten by Fred Waring, a former Col lege student, will be heard for the first time at 7 p.m. today when it will be dedicated on Waring's reg ular NBC Red Network program sponsored by Chesterfield Cigar ettes. Amplifiers will relay the broadcast to an expected 6,000 students and alumni in Recreation Hall for the football pep rally. Waring's pep and alma-mater songs for colleges have undergrad uate groups- all over the country jockeying for a spot on his Friday smoker edition of Pleasure Time devoted to college listeners. It was with a great deal of sentiment, therefore, that Waring accepted an invitation to dedicate a song to his own *alma mater. Waring explained his interest in the project this way: "There's nothing more heartwarming than a good college tune. They are sung and sentimentally remembe r ed when other songs are forgotten. But, though hundreds of popular tunes are brought out each year, little effort has been made to add to the list of traditional college pep and alma mater songs. I am happy to make some contribution to this grand type of music, par ticulirly when my own college is' involved." Fred, the first popular orchestra leader to make commercial use of glee club singing, failed to make the Glee Club at Penn State. This snub resulted in his taking his in terest in group singing•to his own band. TONIGHT ! r• ' • Get YOUR Substnphonfand Dance TickelNOW aISTUDENT UNION ! ! THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Collegian Dance .

When a man proposes to a girl, she asks two questions: "Where is your field?" and "Are you a good worker?" 'Unfortunate,' Says Laich In a statement issued last night on the rejection of responsibility for damages resulting from last week's pajama , parade, All-College President Arnold C.

Frosh Don't Know Way Around Yet Results of a survey conductpd by members of Dr. William M. Lepley's class in experimental psychology indicated that fresh men and newcomers to the campus are rather slow in learning the locations of various well-known local institutions. Among • the questions asked in the survey, were: Where is the Rathskeller? the Theta house? President Hetzel's office? Metzgers store? and the PSCA office? The results obtained proved that 46 percent of the men and 13 per cent of the women know where the Rathskeller is. Only two percent of the men were sure of the location of the Theta house while 25 percent of the females know the sorority .lo cation. Forty-two percent, of the boys were familiar with President Het zel's house in comparison to six percent of the women. Metzger's impressed 83 percent of the men and 81 percent of the new girls were acquainted with the store. The PSCA struck a familiar note in the minds of the newcomers as 78 percent of the men and 66 per cent of the women knew that it was in Old Main. - Locust Lane Lodge Elects Locust Lane..
