Slang Lingo Calls Coeds 'Gum Drops;' Boys Still Wolves :Have you ever been "shafted?" :Did you ever hang a goober on a gum drop? :Don't be alarmed. According to a• recent survey of Americanese (slang) in colleges, these terms and many more are a part of Joe Col lege's and Betty Coed's education. :The first, originated on this cam piis by the Thespians and Leon Ra binowitz'43, merely means getting a raw deal—needless to say, it is used quite frequently in reference to grades; while the other is an em ,barrassing inquiry as to whether you have kissed a coed. Incidentally wolves, they no longer "neck" or "woo" on campus, but they "giraffe!" P.S. Giraffe. Long neck. Get it? Slang, once a pariah, has achiev ed a sort of semi-respectability un der the nurture of popular novel ists who, in the interest of realism sprinkle their story with "local isms."

In fact Thespians might have a deluge of 16 new numbers for held the Greeks spell-bound with their Spring show to be given on' March 27 and 28. The group's old studio in the .basement of Schwab Auditorium has been rockin' and rollin' for over three weeks now. Hollywood and New York have their modern composers working on hit tunes .for the cin ema and for Broadway, but so does Penn State. Of the 16 tunes featured in the show, nine of them were written by James A. Leyden Jr. '42, production mana ger. However, it isn't surprising to music. James A. Leyden, Sr. 'l4 wrote two college songs, Victory and the Nittany Lion. OF THE PENNSYLV ''4 't 14 1.111 ' ; \ \ 4I 4 ri '• ' ' 4 Leyden '42 has been composing tunes out of the thin air. Among them are "Hide 'n' Peek," "Get Out of the Rut and Get Back on the Beam," "The Loneliest Girl In Town," "Time to Dance," "Dreamin'," "Sh-h-h Not Rig.ht Now," "Down With Lessons," "Nittany," "And" 01' Man Trou ble's Been Doggin' My Steps," Mrs. Jane Abramson, one of the star performers of the Thes pian Defense Unit wrote three songs, "Off to Bed," "Informa tion Please," and "Those Were the Good 01' Days." The other four songs were written by James McAdam, pres ident of the group. They include "You Gotta Start. From the Bot tom to Get to the Top," "Oh, My Gosh," "The Greeks Had A Way for It," and 'For the First Time I'm In Love." A STATE COLLEGE 4 in Latest Registrants May Be Drafted Soon Registrants who signed up for the draft on February 16 may be called to duty at the same rate as those who have remained uncalled in the two previous registrations, it was announced by draft officials in Washington. Men in the 20-21 and 37-44 age groups may be called up according to the order numbers assigned them in the March 17 lottery and in di rect ratio to those listed in the first two R-days. Draft authorities have not taken decisive action on the ruling yet, but it was reported that it is favor ed. Four Thespians put their heads together to find the lyrics for all the tunes. They were Abramson, Weinberg, McAdam and Leyden. Unlike several previous shows, the Spring production will pre sent music which has been spec ially tailored for the plot of the show. Concerning the show itself, the entire script . has been prepared by Leon Rabinowitz, Jacqueline Reese, Donald Russell, Dean Clyde, I_, eyden and Weinberg. Every musical comedy must have a girl's chorus and the Thes pians have some dance routines something bordering on the pro fessional. Eight men and eight coeds compose the chorus. But the pay-off in variety is a new jitterbug-tap dance by Sally Har shbarger and Bud Mellotte. ratan, Falling Temperature Lions Win EIBA First WEATHER Snow Flurries PRICE: THREE CENTS Bouts Round Join Hoffman, Cenci In Semi-Finals Special To The Collegian CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Mar. 6—Captain Bob Baird, Jack Grey, Jess Fardella, and Bill Richards annexed first round victories in the 19th annual Eastern Intercol legiate Boxing tourney held at the University of Virginia last night and joined Homer Hoffman and Akio Cenci, who drew byes, in the semi-final bracket.
