Colonel Emery Leaves Penn State
After Two Good Years
The departure of Colonel Emery from the mil-
nary department here is a real *lnc: , to the Col-
lege. This truth will be best apprecoated by the
seniors and faculty people who had experience
.viith the ROTC unit before Colonel Emery took
charge in 1938.
Whether because he has sons of his own or for
some other reason, Colonel Emery understands
college boys and how to handle them.
With understandable good-nature he did for the
ROTC unit here what no previous amount of army
l.•row-beating had managed to accomplish. 'The
last two years are probably the first that Colleg
;an has passed without launching a front page at
tack on the ROTC unit, the way it was conducted,
and its very existence.
The Colonel did the little things that added up:
Ile cut out the old, unnecessary army high shoes,
reduced the cost of the ROTC text. allowed class
cuts, gave each student permanent membership
in one company, separated the infantry and en
gineer regiments, and ended the discrimination
against athletes in the advanced ROTC corps;
With all this. Col. Emery did the really import
ant thing, too.' He stiffened class instruction. Un
der him, students have begun to do real work, and
to take the course seriously.
His work has not gone unnoticed. The annual
army inspections .of the unit have, since Colonel
Emery's arrival, noted an incre.asingly fine esprit
de corps in the local unit. The advanced corps has
almost dtubled in size.
If he is needed somewhere else to forward the
development of national defense, Penn State must
accept the loss,
From the students he deserves a tribute, all the
more precious because so few ROTC leaders hive
won one in the past.
Tonight's Pep Rally
Tonight's bonfire-pep rally is the first since
Penn State made ready to beat Pitt at the end of
its 1939 football season. •
lt's no secret that the rally was Warmed at the
last "minute because student leader: . decided the
l'ootball team needs a convincing demonstration of
the spirit it has behind it. The mutterings that
have passed for cheers at the games so far have
not been overly convincing.
Originally, this pep rally was to be bold off un
til just before the Pitt game next week. Then,
Syracuse tied Penn State and NYU suddenly
:howed its power by toppling mighty little F.&M.
from the unbeaten ranks.
No threat early in the season, NYIT has,had sev
eral injured regulars return to its starting lineup.
unless the Penn fans do something about it,
the first undefeated Penn Stat. football team since
1 . x21 may go by tLi boat-3.

THE DAILY COT.T YGIAN
Tonight's THE Night !
Soph Flop has arrived! Oops, we meant Soph
Yowsah, that rat-race of ancient vintage
comes off tonight and we understand that instead
of playing "The Breeze And I", Bob Chester's go
ii.g to swing out with "The Draft And You" for
the bbys and their luck imports. Johnny, don't
forget to check your rifle on the Nvay in.
Chief complaint, they tell us, from the women's
department is that coeds will only he allowed a
(re o:clock tomorrow. Now, how the dickens are
they gonna compete with the imports that's
the case.
Gliding around the floor you can expect to see
George Rurnsey, prominent politico. ;(rith Phyllis
;Vatkins and if he looks dreamy, don't pay any at
tention. He's just thinking about her. Other
combos there will be Bud Gehoe-Carolyn Erb,
cordon Coy-Dolores Wargo, Martin Duff-Mary
Sallada. Bob Fickenscher-Betty T"nson, Larry
Driever-Elsie ROoth (whe' e; oh wherc is Bob De
lancey). Roy Roger-Jimmy Stagg -Amaybe), Rus
:,:ell Tess-Marge Tarr (import), Ben Krings-Evelyn
Gingerich. Al Hellman-Evelyn Jackson, Bob
t lack-Jeanne Traub, Jim Morgan-Marilyn Kindl,
John Jenkins-Anna Bottm f and But Nesbit-Betty
Walton.
Notice To All Wolves
No use trying to make headway with Dolores
O'Neill cause she's. practically eniged to Bob
Chester's first trumpeter, Alec Fila
Listening Around
At the Sandwich Shop. "She's popular because
'l7es" is nine-tenths of her vocabulary."
At the Cornerrooom: "She's the kind of a girl
you take home to your mcther—when your mother
'n't home."
Suggestion
Of course this is not within our province, but a
`raffle light is in order on Co-op Corner. Trying
to get across the street on Saturday nights reminds
us of the drunk in "Foreign Correspondent" who
dlanged his , mind and decided not to take the
chance.
Poor Boy—But He Loves It;
Away back when, Coedition's Dormouse men
tioned Ginny Smith in connection with a certain
Ath Hall waiter. We hereby score a belated scoop
on Dormouse by letting the wide world-know that
lie is nobody else but Del Hughes. And we do
hope that the immense razzing he has been sub
jected to isn't increased by this mention. After
all a guy has the right to walk a girl home from
the library every night. Doesn't he. Danny De
lancey?

Cold water in large and chilling
amounts was cast on a popular be
lief and hope of many Americans
by a well-known news commenta
tor last night. That belief is that,
in the event of a Britiih defeat, a
large portion of England's fleet
would come steaming to this side
of the Atlantic to assist the United
States.
. aid the commentator,' "With
their beloved ones held as hos
tages, the English will never be
able to send their fleet to this side.
Possibly the Nazis would_ not get
it either, 'but if not-, the recipient
would be Davy Jone's locker." --.
It certainly sounds logical.
With . deafening roars, three
powder plants in Pennsylvania and
New Jersey blew skyward Tues
day,. climaxing a series of such
blasts throughout eastern United
States. Previous explosions, though
occurring too often to be merely
coincidental, have been termed
"accidental." Today we know diff
erently. Live and learn•—or should
we say, die and learn? •
