Welcome
Welcome, summer school students!
• This isn't the same welcome which summer
school students have received in past years. 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

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!

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.

After existing in this deserted haven during
inter-session, one gets so hungry for companion
ship that he is even willing to converse with the
students' No. 1 and No. 2 Public Enemies, Bur
gess Leitzell and Chief of Police Juba. 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.
Do You
Remember
The A liencrest?
That delightful tea room at
the corner of Allen street and
Bea'er avenue?
This soling it was destroyed
by fire but while it is being
rebuilt, the same Allencrest
menus and prices are offered
at .the temporary Allencrest in
the new banquet room of the
Hotel State College, corner of
Allen and College.
Just go upstairs to lobby and
turn right.
