Press Right!
Old Main will dress up for inspection tomorrow
taight!
The occasion is worth a full-dress ceremony,
sie-2ause students, waiting for two and a . half
dears, will finally inaugurate the return of an All
-o,ollege recreation room. The reason for dis-
Panding the. former All-College recreation center
m o,lcl Main was the lack of space for administra-
V.ve offices.
But now, the campus organizations are herald
tJag the return of a game room with an All-College
"sirinclig." An open house, sponsored by eight
campus groups, will cut the tape and renew an
added feature to Penn State entertainment.
Barn ° dances, modern dancing, 'old time movies,
ping pong and round robin exhibitions, and in
;format record playing of classical .and popular
o;nusic will be offered to students visiting the
ppen house in Old Main. The open house marks
the reopening of an old era when Penn State stu-
Oents could congregalte, participate in bull-ses
ri.ons, and play individual and collective games.
Penn . State, with 'its location in the middle of
».o-where, offers little in recreation facilities. A
game room, such as this one, is needed. Frater
nities are fortunate in being able to maintain
reCreation rooms, but independent men have had
s:).o. place to go except the Penn State Club.
Where movies offered the only diversion in the
life of a non-fraternity man, this room will re
the monotony for a student cooped up in a
rmall, ill-heated room. Now, when he has no
money for entertainment and the urge to forget
HIFT)ut his studies for an hour, he can visit the
game room mid feel at home.
We urge all of Penn State to turn out to make
ittte Penn State open house a successful N4enture.

Hail To The Lion
We observe with interest the decision of the
;I?ienn State Glee Club to enter competition against
upproximately 150 co:lege and university glee
'dubs of the nation. Once again, Dr. Richard W.
<Dean) Grant will be offering a challenge to the.
);3tion's best.
About 15 years ago, the Penn State Glee Club
))tactically wrecked the Intercollegiate Glee Club
.2ompetition by going• on a string of 7 victories in
it years. Penn State, then, was the undisputed
:cuter of glee clubs throughout the nation. In
we have a sneaking suspicion that this was
of the reasons that the Intercollegiate Glee
Club championship contests were eliminated.
This year. Fred Waring is sponsoring a nation
wide contest to select the glee club of glee clubs.
P.ann State has thrown its hat in the musical ring
pad has challenged, as of old, the most prominent
tcoups of the collegiate world.
"Fight On State" was one of the popular glee
, !tub arrangements of the old days and will prob
-41), y be used again in Penn State's bid for charn
-s)iui tship. We offer our congratulations to a
,iLt:•cior who has continued to give Penn State a
V. iti uosition in nui,icat entertainmoni

IVoofilig fi'affles
We always seem te be writing columns we nev
er intended to write. Today, we were going to
tell you about William Basil Slish, the 904 - WY
rabbit who laippo up the clew on the • cabbage
leaves. Then .we decided to tell you about Amos
Whiffles wllO, whiffed sew woofing waffles Which,
woofed louder everytime ..Whiffles 'whiffed.. But,
we ended up. in tle Quaker City, of all places,
and saw a calendar which 'said: "The best future
is in the -present." - •
So, we decided to put 'away our whimsical but
child's playthings and talk about. the war. We've
'been interested in . this no end, as has the Daily
Collegian. Campy gives us little knick-knacks
about gays who got it from the local board. Old
Mania slapped Hetenyi gently on the wrist (we
cheering).. Loki has decided to develop his abil
ities to the utmost, with sidetracks to Moscow,
so that he will be ready for ilegistration day.
Ferdy, the worm, has been confused about war
and seeks release in a discussion of love. Leh
man is sure that we are "men of destiny." John
Baer steadily notes the changes of draft regula
tions, and some dopes scratch matches on the
mural. If you haven't, gotten the point, we're
giving you a precis of the Daily Collegian at war
to date.
Waxing Taxes
Louis H. Bell
We know you're not rushing us, but what's all
this about, huh? We saw this Disney short on
taxes at the State, and listened to the crowd hiss.
Imagine that! The kids who are going to die and
pay for this war hissing it. Gosh. That's pretty
powerful stuff. Communistic or something. Gee.
We , don't want to antagonize you because we
hate production for destruction instead cif con
sumption, too. We think building boys is better.
than mending men. It_ was always a sentimental
thought. of ours that the , young are fortunate for,
they _will see,,great things. Ihlt, it begins, to be
born upon us that maybe they're not going to get
a chance to see them, or that they .won't be so
hot after all. We think the war morale of this
college stinks, and we're worried as hell, because
the best future is the present, and if we don't do
something in 'the present, the future isn't at all
important.
I guess we'd better just get on the ball, and do
it damned quick, that's all.
