`,The Forgotten Man
In• one of The Daily Collegian columns recently,
tile writer commented upon the forgotten men of
iame, but we go one step further. Today, may
We present the forgotten man. •
This student hays never held an All-College post
of responsibility. He never wanted one. He
doesn't walk around campus with calf-length
•trousers and vari-colored socks and a super
"politician's air. He doesn't know how. •
He never proposed any momentous bit of All
enliege legislation to benefit his fellow• student,
for 4id he serve on important Cabinet committees
and help formulate campus opinion. He didn't
want to.
When the LaVie nersopality panes_are_ released.
- may - rare - a --- spar; or, as many students with
• @imilar talents, he may be forgotten beneath the
deluge of campus "big shots." He will .be
...n.embered as a necessary unit of Penn State life,
92ut not as one who has formed Penn Stafte policies,
But, he is Penn State. He never takes a bow,
.-never asks one, but he turns the spotlight on
9thers. He works.
When the Victory Ball was being planned, this
student coordinated the whole program, spent
:,)untless hours arranging minor details, and knew
Iti.e would get nothing more than a pat on the back.
That isn't all. •
A masterful master of ceremonies, this fellow
done more for cainpus defense projects than
ugly single student. He has boosted Red Cross
drives, camoaigned for student participation in
defense courses, and is noted for his Thespian
Mobile Units idea which is spreading like wild
fire throughout Pennsylvania colleges and uni
yersities.
Not satisfied with only Pennsylvania army en
tertainment units, he is planning to chase the
idea across the United States and incorporate
other colleges in a grand mobile unit scheme.
He is an idea man. He writes skits for these
Anobile units, organizes them, and then super
vises the shows. He has gone without sleep,
opent all night with black coffszio and empty sheets
of copy paper trying out script ideas, and has re
ceived no campus recognition. •
The only compensation he receives is laughter
.—laughter at his gags and antics. But, that is
• enough. That is what he wants. He will jour
voey to Lock Haven, stage a one-man benefit show
for 'Bed Cross, and no complain if his expenSes
cannOt - ne g)t his shai4e of laughs.
When the army called his number, and the doc
tor told him that he was overweight and asked
thim if he still wanted to fight for Uncle Sam, ht.
raid, "Sure, I still can run faster than the Japs."
Uncle Sam rejected him on other physical quail
-91!
xwations. t a
This forgotten riian is campus as a
"funny man." He is. But he is more. He is
the forgotten man because he works hard, asks
ho credit, and receives none. He has contributed
the name of Penn State to thousands of soldiers
and given campus defense its first big boost.
Well, here is our boost. We salute, with pride
:3n ,- .1 humility, the biggest "campus big shot" of
tiiem alt.
We take our hat; off to "shaft In The Draft"

No Rest Foi. The--
A ball chairman is not without his headaches.
After surprise announcement of Harry James'
sorry but, Charlie Mattern was aroused from his
slumbers not once but eleven• times during the
night to answer persistent phone calls which
whispered ominously, "LOPEZ STINKS!" We
second the motion.
Seems as if this h'ippens every year. Dance
dates are set in October for the rest of the year,
elections have decided which henchmen will
. be
chairmen—why not let Fleming sign us up some
good bands. before every other stick-in-the-mud
college knocks them off—he does it anyway.

You Can't Pull The Wool
'Midst all the fun and fury of campaigning—
this column will personally pin a medal on any
politico who can sneak a single_ fast one through
this year's — austerg, Elections Board. If there's
anything those, boys haven't already tried—we
wanna see it.
11 7 e Are Not Alone!
We glean this gem from one of Professor Ban
ner's ardent stooges, nit connected with this rag,
to prove that we're not the only ones to hold
these truths to be self-evident:
There was a bug known as moth
Who loved to feast on old cloth
But as woolens got rare
Mothie moved his lair
And now he abides in Froth.
Tribute To A Tribute
Try a twinge of the vocal chords on this new
brainchild of the versatile Leyden (not McAdam)
entitled "Nittany." The stuff is there and it's
mellow and mild. Certainly would look good in
the Frosh Bible next to pop's.
But there's 'just one thing—Where in 'ell does
he get thiS "We'll drink to thee!" business?
Shelved
Confirmed shelver of competition, so Campy so
tactfully puts it,. Lillian Clark returned this week
end jest to . ICld the iizilshing touches—or' wasn't
she so cocky after all?
But,. Mr. Hays---
Two complacent morons came strolling down
the street one balmy afternoon and in their trav
els passed a beauteous maiden clad only in what
God gave her. The one sly fellow looked at the
other and said longingly, "Say, wouldn't she look
neat in a Sweater?"

Bell—Bottom Trouseiv
The secret is out. Now we know why the Col
lege never officially disclosed whether the horde
of naval reserves would descend. Drop in fe
male summer• enrollment would have hit a new
low, we wager.
Latest report on the Eisenhart-Campsey-Frey
dilemma leaves CampsQy holding the bag after the
three took turns issuing ultimatums.
Ruth Shanes has got herself involved jewelry
wise with Ken Cotton, Sigma Pi, after ex-Henny
Yeagley went off the deep end over Peg Collins.
Maestro Don Taylor has just made public an
nouncement that he has three Sigma Nu pins out.
Must be that mane that gets 'em. We can even
remember way back when he was just a 2:ood
kid in his blue and orang.-. "F" sweater.
