It can't be. Because of the far-reaching influence of the war and the national emergency, condi tions are different and all of us—regardless of age, sex, or occupation—are bound to be deeply affected. No one can foresee what he will be (loping this' time next year, where he will be. whethei• he will be dead or alive. . However, this year Penri State summer school will be just about the same as ever. Again, welcome! Have a e;ood time. It might be your last chance. We Still Hate Hitler! Don't Wei . We've had lots of time - to think during the past few days while we've been waiting for sum meAchool to open and we've concluded.that this Worleis a pretty funny place. Fiir instance, about a•year and a half ago the Russians and the Finns were in the thick of their own private war. The Russians were "big, dumb bullies" whose only advantage was their numbers. The Finns were brave heroes, gallantly fighting against 100 to I odds. Now, the tables are turned. A man on the radio just said something about "Nazi medlar': ized units clashing with Red forces." We have to ,s'ide with somebody and, as it can't be the Ger mans, this time we're rooting for the Russians and helping• them -at every turn. Ironically, it looks as if the Finns might get in the war, too. and again be fighting . the 'Reds. Then we would fnd ourselves for the Russians and against the Finns, gallant or not. If that happens, we wonder what some of our expert military commentators will have to say. No doubt, though, they'll find a way to straighten things out. Three cheers for the Russians! To hell with the Finns! C:::1 Enrollment Going Downhill There is every indication right now that sum mer enrollment will experience a decline. No- Lody knows how much but it is almost- certain that enrollment won't be up to last year's 2,800 mark. However, the decrease shouldn't be too great. Inter-session enrollment wasn't quite as high as it was last year but it was stilt the third ighest in the history -of the College. Another encouraging fact is that on June 17, the latest date for which figures are available, more students had been admitted Than at the same time a year ago. Nevertheless, there won't be as many students here as summer officials would like to have. The reason.for the decline is national defense. Many school teachers, particularly men, who would or dinarily come to the College during theummer months are working instead in jobs created by the emergency. Our only hope is that the enrollment doesn't drop so much that activities kill be curtailed. We don't believe it will. . . The most attractive tilling station we know of is the dining room. Relax! The only Friday the 13th of 1941 has passed—and if you're reading this you got by. A nation-wide drive for enough scrap alumin um to build (50 bombing planes is to be launched.

Corning from a nine-month-a-year addict of Graham's A. C. pinball machines, that is admitting a hell uva lot. So it's with welcoming arms (Collegian sub scription book under the left one) that we greet ed both old friends and new as they drifted into town this week-end. Within the next few days Co-op Corner will be humming with activities once more after a three-week respite. About the only difference will be the length in skirts as worn by the Summer Session coeds but then, one can hardly expect sophisticated graduates to sport the knee-length dress wear affected by the teen aged Penn State gals. (Revenge at last.) Leitzell's Latest Victim We are naturally glad to see our old friends but we're looking forward to making new friend ships even more. This column will be dedicated to the goings-on of the summer students with fun poked at some of them now and then. but no harm is ever intended. Dick Ingersoll, the pride and joy of the Delts. is figuring out ways and means of committing assault and battery on a certain prominent mer chant's son. Dick got slapped down to the tune of $8.25 by Dictator Leitzell merely for promising tc pin the aforementioned local yokel's ears down. Hope the youngster stays out of dark al leys for the next few weeks. News on the sex front has been rather quiet lately but a certain prof now editing his latest brainchild cleared up a mystery of long . standing. He Writes that "fruit flies are used in genetic studies so frequently because they are Cheap and are mated with a minimum of effort." And did you know that the date palm was the first - plant discoveredk to show eeidence of sex, life?• Ain't it immoral! Mentz Evades S2I Club All slated for Uncle Sam's $2l a month club. Bob Montz apparently wrangled out a leave of absence because he expects to pull in any min ute for summer studies and week-end visits from the celebrated Bomber, the one and only Les Lew is. We'll be glad to see the vivacious torch singer ourselves . . . Bill Henning is sticking around in town along with several of his Sigma Nu cro nies. the only difference being that they are tak ing the defense course while he's merely defend ing his priority rights with his local charmer.
