Meyers '42, blazer chairman, an nounced yesterday. "Because of the governments' need of blazer material for the war-time production in which this country is now engaged, we have - been unable to have our order filled anywhere." Although the committee had a contract signed for the produc tion of the blazers, the company was forced to cancel it, due to the priority of the government orders for the same material. Money will be refunded to more than 100 juniors who placed their blazer deposits upon pre sentation of their receipts at the Athletic Store. Attempts to Piave the blazers made by other companies were made by the committee, but the government needs have made it impossible for any company to fill the junior blazer order. "We made long-distance calls over half the United States," Meyers stated, "but no concern could give us a guarantee for the blazers to be here in less than three months." The blazers were to have sold for $5.50 in either a sport coat or lounging jacket style.

Nov blonde Anna Kaskas, con tralto of the Metropolitan Opera Association, was busily jotting down a few briefs words on the program of each autograph seek er. As she sat there smiling, jok ing and adding a personal touch to each autograph, Miss Kaskas seemed to be bothered with only one thing—"ls it still raining outside," she queried several times as she glanced up at Stuart Ross, her accompanist last night for the first time.

Weather— =;M Warmer PRICE THREE CENTS 10,000 Trained Workers At Disposal Of State Complete cooperation of the College national defense program has been offered to the Penn sylvania Council of Defense by President Ralph D. Hetzel in a recent letter to Gov. Arthur H. James. In a offer to correlate the Col lege's present defense activities with the committee's program, President Hetzel wrote, "Please command us for such service as you think we can helpfully render." Penn State's engineering train ing program, involving more than 10,000 students and adults, is the largest of the 90 colleges par ticipating in defense instructions. Other projects, already under way include Army and Navy re search projects, civilian pilot training, emergency instruction for 30 Naval Reserve officers and 30 civilians, and the grooming of 150 seniors for possible Army and Navy commissions. President Hetzel pointed out that an increase in the number of students that the College can admit next fall will be necessary to fill vacancies in upperclasses. Due to selective service and the need of guaranting a maximum use of facilities in order to supply sufficient trained gradutes, the College must offset upperclass losses. Research contracts assigned to faculty specialists by the Army and Navy lead other campus de fenSe projects in importance. Present enrollees in the civilian pilot training, in progress a year and a half, bring the total trained at Penn State to 120. Ground school instruction at nine of 12 non-College pilot training centers in the state is provided by Extension Services of the College. Another group of thirty Naval Reserve officers will arrive here next month for Deisel training in engineering laboratories to, take care of the demand for engine technicians. 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Late News Bulletins 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 BATON ROUGE An army plane crashed 12 miles north of here, killing two student fliers, Albert Fisher of Hammond, 111. and Elmer Gibbons of New York City.
