Separate totals for students and for College employees were not tabulated. That fewer registered than had been anticipated was at tributed to students going hoine to regitser. Augmented by a large number of borough school teachers who vol unteered' their services, a corps in excess of 100 registrars handled the registration smoothly, according to Edward K. Hibshman, chairman of the College draft committee. A number of registrars were loaned to the borough draft board, he said. Of the sizeable number of facul ty members caught in the expand ed age bracket, the physical edu cation department seemed to be hit the hardest. Among the coaches who registered were John Law ther, Charlie Spiedel, Bob Gal braith, Chick Werner, Marty Mc- Andrews, and Joe Bedenk. Some of the other faculty regis trants were Dr. A. H. Griess, Prof. Harold E. Dickson, Prof. Louis A. Richardson and Prof. Sheldon C. Tanner. In some instances profes sors were registered by former stu dents. Carrying an arm band from the first World Mar. when he reported, Bedenk fell within the upper age limit by about six months. At the (Continued on Page Two) Armory Cannons Go Unnoticed Despite Legendary History Two historical cannons squat ting in their concrete beds in front of the Armory were probably overlooked by students and facul ty who registered for the draft yesterday. Besides taking part in the de fense of the mition during another critical period, the cannons were involved in some riotous battles right here on the campus in the 'Bo's. Serving as the main weapons in a battle between— the "Town Muckers" and the "Old Main Baits," the veteran Civil War ar tillery ivas loaded with garbage, tin cans, and other rubbish by the campus-housed faction for bom bardment of their enemies' Beav er .6.iienite stronghold.

According to John Candy, old est College employee, the ancient cannons dished out plenty of headaches to the grounds and buildings force following football victories and pajama parades, when they turned up anywhere from Ag Hill to the Beta House. The guns, made by Massachu setts foundries in the early 1840's, were mounted by Company H of Scabbard and Blade in concrete in front of the Armory in 1930 to insure their. permanency on the campus as relics of Penn State legend and national defense.
