IProgress in War
Whatever else it brings, war also brings with it
rapid progress in almost all phases of life.
Penn State has felt this. Under stress of the de
fense emergency it has expanded its educational
wrogram, training 10,000 workers throughout the
state.
Its latest move has been for the erection of a
$400,000 training airport which can be of great
service. to the defense program and will be equally
valuable after the emergency has passed.
• Both programs, and especially the first, reflect
credit on the college for its far-sighted planning.-
Through its ability to place its defense courses
immediately in operation, the College is now train
ing half of Pennsylvania's defense workers, and a
fifth of those being trained in the whole nation,
The project airport, although not yet realized,
is no recent idea. It has been carefully planned
nlany months, reliable sources indicate, and if it
is established will certainly not be a hit-and-miss
matter. Only two other colleges in America have
comparable airports of their own—Virginia Poly
technic Institute and Purdue,
Gibiners Jurisdiction
Our best reasons for believing that All-College
Cabinet has the right to divide the use of chapel
funds and to switch them away from Lingnan
lJniv,?rsity are provided by a circular published
several years ago by the Penn State in China com
mittee,
"Penn State in China is a student enter
organized in 1911 under the inspiration and in re
sponse to the challenge of G. W. (Daddy) Groff
'O7, The enterprise is sponsored by the Men's Stu-
dent Council and the Women's Student Govern
- ment Association. Penn State was one of the first
American colleges to recognize its obligations
abroad and to establish relations with a college in
the Orient. The students chose Canton Christian
College, now Lingnan University, because Mr,
Groff had already invested his life there." •
This seems to effectively answer challenges to
the Cabinet's right to change the Lingnan chapel
fund. It also
.points out Penn State's interest in
Lingnan because of 'Professor Groff who is no
Longer there;
Who Supervises Whall
The Anchorage fire puts the College in another
nasty light. Although the College exercises strict
supervision of coeds, by its own claim, it failed to
require the operator of a downtown dormitory to
carry • insurance which would cover fire losses.
The women did not choose the dormitory them
selves, the College assigned them to it. It should
have made sure that everything was shipshape,
Down Harrisburg Way
Apparently the clause in the Moul resolution
holding up appropriations to the Soil Conservation
Board and the Pennsylvania State College refers
Only to appropriations not sponsored by Mr, Moul.
That seems to be indicated by the Moul Bill revis
ing the Soil Conservation Board which recently
passed the House and included with it an appro
priation. Republican members of the House, of
course, jumped at this chance to embarrass Mr,
Moul's Democrats on their inconsistency. Unper
turbed, the Democratic speaker ruled the bill was
Pot an appropriation because it had not yet been

Lesson In Dropkicking
Chuck "Flash Gordon" Reid, ex-football man
ager and man about town, received a setback the
other night. Chuck and a Beta brother were sit
ting in a crrm booth with Beanie Seibert and an
other lovely lass, bowling them over with charm
and witty conversation. Chuck was just at the
point of giving Beanie the supreme thrill of her
young life by asking her for a date when Beanie
got a phone call. It was another Beta who wanted
a date with her and was accepted right under
Reid's handsome nose!
Walt James, Blue Band prexy, is torn between
love and his career. Walt recently shaved his
mustache to which he had been attached for ten
years. Although Walt vehemently denies that
Fij Fulton, who is the wearer of his KDR hard
ware, had anything to do with it, rumor says oth-
erwise. Walt is tops in his line as a horn tooter
and he claims that his mustache strengthened his
lip muscles and thus enabled him to play better.
Looks like another case of Sampson.a . nd Delilah
to us.

Turnabout's fair play,
Hero Cracks Rib
Al Mclntyre '39, ex-Collegianer and recent hero
of the Eastern Airlines plane crash in Florida just
discovered two weeks after that he didn't come
out of the wreck unscathed.. After roaming around
loose since the crash, an X-ray disclosed that the
rugged Al had a few cracked ribs and he is now
wrapped up in a plaster corset. He must have
just sobered up.
Seen in town today were Jack -Kennon '3B, e.x
senior class prexy, Bart Buser '4O, lacrosse immor
tal, and Phyllis Gordon '4O, former Collegian Staff
charmer. Jack, as you seniors will probably soon
learn, is selling insurance, while Beaming Bart is
enroute home to rest up for the army. Phyl, so
far as we can ascertain, is just "in. town.."
Joe Menham, Rex Rockwell, tootler, broke all
records for endurance by riding 52 hours on a bus
to get up from Florida after Easter. Reason for
Joe's spectacular feat was to work at the skellar
while one of the waiters took a trip!
We make a motion that Penn State have a June
Queen as- well as a . May Queen. Not that.Jo Con
drin isn't every inch a queen, but we think it's
about time beautiful Emily Coyle was given a little
recognition,
