fit Time FOIT 'Respect
Every morning at 7:50 an impressive little cere-
mony is enacted on the campus in front of Old
Pram. It is a formal flag-raising. A group of 72
young musicians, the Military Band of the Band
and Orchestra School, marches to a spot near the
flag pole. There they stop and play "To The
Colors," and "The Star Spangled Banner."
The ceremony is short—in fact, it lasts only
about a minute and a half. During that time be
tween one and two hundred onlookers gather and
stand silently at attention. To them, the cere
mony is meaningful. They are quietly pledging
themselves to faith in the greatness of our coun
try.
The effect is •spoiled, however, by only a half
dozen thoughtless persons who walk around nois
ily,.forcing their way through the crowd, distract
ing the attention of others. To a large extent,
they ruin the beadtv of the moment. If they real

hem Nibbons To Oil Wefts'
This issue's front page feature story about the
three gibbons in the psychology laboratory tells
about a small part of an interesting experiment—
an -experiment which in turn is just a small part
of the extensive research program being carried
on by the College. Few people realize the vast
uss of this program. They fail to see below the
surface of formal education and campus activities
and thus gain a lop-sided view of what the . College
really is.
Do you know that 300 of the 1,600 College em
ployees are engaged in full or part-time research
NVOi-k?
Do you know that this research work includes
approximately 501) projects and costs $670,000 an-
Do you know that College research has resulted
in greater yield from Pennsylvania oil wells, dis
cov2ry of new sex hormones, fines, grasses for golf
greens, recreational programs. modern safety de
vices. more efficient V-belt drives?
All these things are true. And they represent
only a few of the accomplishments by which the
College has aided the-people of the state and the
rafionaination within the past several years.
Vacation And Education Combined
The summer sessions administrative staff is to
be congratulated for, among other things, the
wide variety of social and extra-curricular activi
ties planned summer school students. Dances,.
plays, hikes, sport tournaments, concerts, lectures,
demonstrations, conferences. assemblies, student
sings, an amateur show,- art and bok exhibitions,
excursions, picnics—all are part of the program.
These activities were not chosen haphazarddly.
Instead, they were built around the expressed
preferences of students for certain types of enter
tainment and about the recreational activities in
which students have taken an active interest in
past year. With very few exception, such .as sub
scription. .dances and :two .plays,-: all 'activities are
free to students.
In arranging the program, administrator's 4id
not forget that summer school must offer vacation
as well as education. They did a good job.

Every time our burgess and his equally efficient
police force pull one of their boners they seem
to reach the height of something or other but
miraculously enough they always come up with
something new and startling.
The' latest faux pas happened last week and
involved a Phi Psi from Dickinson who's living
at his fraternity house here while in summer
school. It was one of his first nights in town and.
he lost his way. Through some misfortune he
happened to be following three frustrated females
who reside in an apartment on Locust. Lane and
hearing the faltering steps of a man behind them,
they ran inside and called up the police.
The courageous defenders of innocent -woman
hood picked up the Dickinson lad several minutes
later and slapped him in the cooler oVernight
without giving him a chance 'to explain his case.
Next day he was released on bail and it .took a
hurried trip by his dad and a . lawyer to
no
prove his innocence.. The burgess has no idea
how many students shed tears when he announced
last week that he won't run for the office again.
The slap happy crew working in the Sigma Nu'
dining room and kitchen is• spending so much of
its spare time in the parlor that Mac is thinking
seriously of installing several study desks and
saving the boys trouble of going to their distant
abodes to burn the midnight oil. As it is the
venerable Maisie, who's been taking care of the
SN lads, for the past generation, has to ring the
bell twice, once for the waiters and then for the
residents
Any rumor that Effie was hiding out has been
dispelled by this time. The latest over the grape
vine has it that last year's summer session queen
issued lucky George Harrison a bid to Tuesday's
vic dance. _Effie is having plenty of competition
this summer and will have to be in rare form to
retain her laurels.
