RAGE TWO With the Editor— A Word To The Wise Is Sufficient, Freshmen 1! Freshmen, get smart! This gentle hint comes from, faculty and upper classmen alike who have been exposed to the un ruly conduct of your green-capped group at the compulsory bi-weekly class meetings which have been sponsored jointly by PSCA and WSGA. Not satisfied with being discourteous to prom inent faculty speakers, by paying no attention: to what has been said, you have repeatedly caused the speakers embarrassment by openly drowning out the sound of their voices, making it necessary Sor them to pause in order to command attention. A decade ago, when freshman paddles and eagle-eyed custom enforcers were in every nook and corner, there was no need for - such a plea as this. But, today campus society is different. To day, the College depends upon the democratic way, the self-conduct of the individual. In the words of an old adage, freshmen, we pass our bit of advice. "There's a time for everything,", —a time for play, for work, for enjoyment, for reverence, for education. Recognize that particu lar time, and let nothing interefere. Put all your energies into that moment. Freshmen, we enjoy your enthusiasim. Prob ably some upperclassmen could use more of it. We appreciate your love of fun, your sense of hu mor, and your wanting to "let go" under the rigid Auks of freshman customs. But you must take into consideration whether you are "cutting loose" at the proper time. You know, there's a great power called tuning, "a physical sense that tells an athlete that he has xun the right race or throWn an accurate pass, a mental sense that informs a person he has caught the appropriate keynote •of a situation. Maybe, through these first weeks of hurried acclimation to College life, you've distorted your timing and .struck out on a bad ball. . If so, you are not to blame, for preceding gener ations of freshmen have temporarily gone through the same process. But, in a suggestive tone rather than an authoritative one, those who have exper ienced the turmoil of freshmen days ask you to use a little common sense. ' You may not have 'realized that speakers and participants in your mass meetings have wasted , • :valuable time to instruct and help you in absorb ' the intricate phases of campus life and the Penn. State spirit. Your unintentional disorder liness suggests your lack of appreciation for their kindness. We understand this. However. a continuous ex hibition of your disrespect causes us to question your attitude. We hope you recognize this criti cism as an interest in your social conduct for the betterment of College spirit, rather than a blatant Charge. So, have your fun, freshmen, but make certain it's at no one's expense. Mr. William Smith is guilty of a gioss misde meanor. Mr. Smith interrupted the singing of the 'Alma Mater at Saturday's football game. He should have waited outside until the singing was finished. No doubt he still would have finished way ahead of the pack. • Hats off to a great nuttier.

And with.the editor crying for more names in columns, the week-end was the answer to a gossip columnist's prayer At the Collegian Dance Just in case you were so engrossed in your date that you didn't get a chance to look around, here are some of the couples most of us couldn't miss. Jimmy Ritchie, 'SAE, and Lila Woolery, kappa, who danced so hard I expected to see them on crutches on Saturday; Beth Paine, DG, and George Hay, sigma nu (surprised, - I was); Ba3rafd Bloom, kappa sig, and Dotty Savard, KKG; Ann Lobaeh, Chi 0, and Jim Hitchens, phi sig; Alice Murray, kappa, and Don Kratser; Bob Brooks, SAE, and Eleanor Derr, alphachio;; Mickey IVrarmion, KDR, and Doris Disney, a lovely new transfer from Richmond (lives in Willey Dorm, fellows); and then of course there were the old steadies. . At the Corner ROOM Ed Pennington; phi sig from last year, was down at the Corner after the dance. He declared that he had saved his best suit for Homecoming so that we would all think he was prosperous. It was a little loud, though.- Sammy Gallu was- there, too, and I can't figure out whether he or George Par rish was escorting Jannie Keith. Blonde Helen Camp, women's editor last year, was down at the Corner, too. She had a date with a horse, she told me, and,so she couldn't stay for the game. ,At the Game . quint Couch, sigma nu prexy last year, and Louise Breunninger sat with Connie Smith and Johnny Barr at the game. I saw Dike Jacobs and Cal Evans there, too. Ruthie Kennedy, alphachio, and Dick Reubner, SPE; Pete Pettibon, DTD, and Patty Patton, the Chi 0; and Jo cdndrin, DG, and Ernie Berkaw, Acacia, were trying to watch the game and each other at the same time. They tell me that that is the worst thing about dating . a graduate. Anywhere . Around . . • I didn't see these alurrms but I've.been told that - they were very much - in evidence: Dutch Vosters, DU, accompanied by a smooth blonde; Burt Willis; Joe Miller and Paul Febigger, sigma•chi, (sorry I forgot, it's Mr. and Mrs. now); Bob Casselberg, SAE, about 20 pounds lighter; Bill N.eal, kappa sig, and Cordy -Beech, DG; Tommy McLaughlin, phi kappa sig, and lots of others. They tell me that the crowd in the Markland Saturday night was amazed when Dick (Little Minister) Bitner walked in with Polly Insley. Did you know that the class cheer in 1920 went like this: Cornucopia, Horn of Plenty, Pennsy State, 1920. Cute, eh. R. B.

GORDON FAY Hunger intirsday morning's turn - col umn stories of bombing attacks in which pedestrians and motorcars. were tossed about like straws in a gale fill one with horror and amazement, but a little three-inch item, buried in most papers by masses of "scare" headlines, pre dicts more human suffering than the worst "blitz" ever- conjured up in the mind of Field 'Marshal Goering. That story is of Premier Phil ippe •Petain's statement to the peo ple of France that "food rationing is a painful necessity," and that France's future lohks "dark and threatening." This means that France will be hungry very hungry—this winter. The fields of France will feed two nations during the coming months—or rather, 'they will feed one nation and, if crops are good, will keep another from completely starving. The first and best agri cultural yields will go to Nazi field kitchens, since Napoleon's adage, "An 'army marches on its "belly," is still true today, and a nation in arms just doesn't produce much food. The gleanings of the fields will go to France's forty million. Those who must live under . an almost constant hail of bombs will not be the worst off in Europe dur ing the coming winter..

OCTOBER 15, 1940 Chapel Comments— Chapel Speaker Stresses Good Neighbor Policy Speaking on the basic point in :he Bible which we overlook, Dr: Robert W. Searle, secretary of the Greater New York Federation of Churches, stressed the importance of the passage, "thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself," in his speech at Chapel Service Sunday morning. In explaining his topic, "Let's take another'look at Christianity," Dr. Searle pointed out that planes and guns will not settle the pres ent European war, but the idea of right that is inherent in those peo ple will be the deciding factor. He warned the people of the United States to build up a power within themselves 14,- love their neighbor. By so doing,. we can avert a tragedy over here similar to the one taking place in Europe today.
