Now, those 1,300 students are seniors and one of them. Jack Brand, has emerged as the leader, as the one who has done the most for the College. He is the Outstanding Senior, Jack Brand is worthy of this honor. The Col legian has no doubt of that. He is a fit successor i'o Sol Miehoff, Joe Peel and Cliff McWilliams, Hike them, he. has done his best for the College. ' What has made Jack Brand so successful? Why 5.5 he the biggest BMOC on the campus? Why is He the Outstanding Senior? Let us attempt to ♦malyze his rise to prominence. Jack started as an activities man when he won '>is numerals as a freshman golfer and was elected i:o Druids. In his sophomore year he decided to try for wrestling manager. He spent his after noons in Rec Hall doing the thankless tasks of a second assistant and, as a result, was one of three sophomores elected first assistant wrestling man agers. He became a member of Blue Key. That spring he played his first season of varsity golf. Jack Brand was- becoming well known on the campus. He was on the road which leads to the top. The next winter he was again helping manage r.he wrestling team. He did a good' job. He had to be good to beelected manager. About this time, too, his fraternity brothers placed their stamp of approval on Jack Brand by choosing him as their .president. Next was his election to the Athletic Association presidency. This was another honor and with it ':ame another responsibility, membership in All- College Cabinet. In rapid succession Jack Brand was tapped by Parmi Nous and by the-most exclu sive honor society on campus. Lion’s Paw. He became president of Parmi Nous. At the end of last season he was elected captain. That, then, is the evolution of an Senior. It is impressive but, nevertheless, super ficial. What really counts is how Jack Brand car ried out his duties, how he accepted his many re sponsibilities. „ A. R. Warnock, dean of men, has this to say of him: “Jack has been a useful, very conscientious leader and has an enviable character and person- Dean Warnock was right but he could have said •i lot more. Anyone who knows Jack Brand could ;ay a great deal about his character and ability, and all of it would be in his favor. Members of the wrestling team say that Jack Brand is a highly efficient manager, varsity golf ers say that he is an ideal captain, fellow Cabinet members say that he is willing to do. more than his share of work and do it well. Everyone who knows Jack Brand admires and respects him and values him as a friend.- In all ways Jack Brand is the Outstanding Sen ior. There is no question about it. No better man could have been picked for the honor. Dow ntow n O ffice 110-121 South Framer St. Nijrht Phone 4372 Distributor of .Louis H.

Turnabout, Or Vice Reversed Latest reports from the Western Union late last night disclosed that, for once, not only the boys but the girls were getting the shaft from imports via the sorry but route. According to shafted Theta’s most common excuse is ‘‘bad roads.” You will import, eh girls? Harris Seores Again We nominate as Casanova-of-the-Week, Tom Harris, Signa Pi smoothie, who had a late date with Connie Haynes,' the luscious T. Dorsey song stress last night. When contacted Harris said, "Oh boy.” Harris always did have a penchant for Connies. The Checkoff We were under the impression that in civil life, especially in such a democratic institution as Penn State, a man was" innocent t ntil proven guilty, that only the Army and the Navy used the court martial system where a man is guilty until prov en innocent. Such is evidently not the case, at least in the Chemistry and Physics school of this College. Bill Mayer was rating a “3” in Phvs Science go*, ir.g into the final. He took the final and went home confident. Then came the grade sheets and with it a minus 2 ab in Phys Science for Bill. Dumbfounded, he rushed up to see his prof and ask for an explanation. The prof referred him to Dean Whitmore, the Dean said that two finals, two very good finals, had been handed in with the name Bill Mayer on them. The Dean was very sorry but the -2ab would stand until Bill could prove he had nothing to do-'with the matter. No, they couldn’t check the handwriting. But that wasn’t all. The other day Bill got a letter from Dean Whitmore saying that because of his duties with the National Defense' Commission and Mr. Stettinius he could not give his attention to such matters as Bill’s case. It’s not that we think that the good name of a student should interfere with Dean Whitmore’s very important national defense work, but if he is too busy to be bothered with Bill’s case, and sim ilar ones, why doesn’t he give somebody else, who is not saving, the country, the authority to settle it?

Not that we hold any love for the bus com panies, but the fact remains that they provide the only means of. transportation to and from State College. Don’t the Borough Fathers realize that much tran sient trade will be lost by the re routing of the buses? Many travelers are eager for a glimpse of this typical college town. This interest may well result in di rect benefits. A senator may even come through and decide to introduce a bill calling for great er appropriations. / Last year, due to an unfortun ate incident, there was a great hue and cry about the distance which the coeds had to traverse through the darkened streets to their dorms. What then may be said of the distance and the light ing conditions of the present route which the girls must take to their dorms? The Borough Fathers c'ould at least . have granted sufficient time for the construction of a proper terminal and an adequately lighted and patrolled walk. We wish to enter a protest for ourselves and all those whom we have spoken to about the mat ter. A concerted protest by the student body through the All- College Cabinet might awaken a greater consideration for student welfare .

We refer to Dave himself. He made all the arrangements that were necessary to conduct the ex change efficiently. ' Since Dave is not a member of a hat society, we feel that his ef forts should not go unrewarded.

Dr. Cowgill bused his talk-'.on: the results of a survey:- OH :diets and food habits of 15 native fam ilies of the Chagres Valley -in Panama. He said the most sign ificant result of the research.was the discovery of notable j.deficir. encies in the amounts-of-calcium and vitamins A and 81. ... • • “Most of ‘ the natives,”:. Dr, Cowgill said, “find it. easier to: row five miles down the river, to buy American made-salad-oils; rather than use the cruder.,..but much more nutritive, native: oil.’.’. The deficiency of calcium.:is. due largely to the scarcity of milk, the speaker stated.. Because dairy industry in the CafiarZone is practically nonexistant, there is a definite need for fresh’milk;' with a resulting increase of cal-- cium in the native diet,'he said.
