Profs, Coaches Sign
Under New Age Law
Official returns released after
the close of draft registration last
night disclose that 1,429 new "re
cruits" were registered in the Ar
mory in the nation's first wartime
conscription in 25 years.
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.

Bedenk fell within the upper age
limit by about six months. At the

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

Guard" was. weapons for instruc

. land grant colleges, but
after their retirement from
"SquadS Right" and Column Lefts"
they were used to fire salutes for
visiting dignitaries on "Pennsyl
vania Day," the opening event of
the old-time houseparties.
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.
