Ebert, chairman of the protection committee of the Campus Defense Council, announc ed yesterday. The drills, Mr. Ebert said, will be started within a few weeks and will be conducted 'only in small parts' of the campus at one time.

Mr. Ebert asked that all faculty Lor - members and students learn the 1 i I n ternational facts given on the sheets in build ings 1 1 1 where they have offices or several classes and that, above all, they "keep cool and be senisble," in case of emergency. He said that knowing the general instructions on .the sheets will en able students and faculty members to act wisely no matter where they are when an air raid starts. .The. posters will be supplement ed by flags pointing out the posts being 'occupied by air raid, fire, and buildings wardens and by oth er signs bounding the places of safety within the buildings. These will be ready for posting within a few days.

This will be the main dish when the :Players' bring "Mr. and Mrs. North". to Schwab Auditorium, March 20 and - 21, as a feature of their 25th anniversary season. Centering around the antics of Pam and Jerry North, two irre sponsible Bohemians, when several bodies are found in their Green wich Village apartment, the play brings in seven logical suspects that will cause your brow to be fur rowed in the throes of deduction. Who done it? Why was Stanley Brent murdered and stuffed in the closet? Who murdered the post man to keep , him from talking? In cidentally, Pam found Brent's body when she was searching for some gin—and the Postman was killed when he went out for beer! Adding a macabre touch to the scene is the meanderings of a black cat named "Pete" throughout the proceedings. Shades of Edgar Al lan Poe! OF THE PENNSYLV THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 12, STATE COLLEGE, PA. Raymond Scott To Play At IF Ball ; Ten Mat Teams Await EIWA Tourney 72 Visiting Grapplers Will Arrive Today Eager for championship compe tition, 72 wrestlers representing nine EIWA member colleges will arrive on campus this afternoon and tonight in preparation for the 38th annual Association tourna ment which will take place in Rec Hall starting at 2 p. m. to morrow. The Nittany Lion host squad will be the tenth team entered in the title struggle. The total num ber of grapplers participating is thus raised to 80 since each col lege has entered a full 8-man rteam. Harvard is the only East ern Intercollegiate Wrestling As sociation member not entered in the tourney: . The first of the guest matmen are expected to arrive at 3 o'clock this afternoon. They will be free to join Coach Charlie Speidel's squad on the Rec Hall mats for preliminary workouts. All contestants will weight-in at 9 •a. m. tomorrow prior to the preliminary round which begins at 2 p. m. Matches will probably be run off simultaneously on three mats. Survivors of the afternoon com petition will meet in the quarter finals at B'p. when thirty-two -(Continued,ork-P'wge'•Theee) Marines Will Give Exams To Applicants Today Students who have applied for the Candidate Class for Commis sion in the Marine Corps Reserve will be given their physical exam ination in the College Infirmary from 10 a. m. to noon and from 2 p. m. to 5 p. in. today. Other students who wish to ap ply will be given a chance tomor row in 311 Old Main. Recruiting Officer Lieut. Robert Port will be in that room during the same hours that the examinations will be giv en. Last month freshmen under 22 years of age were declared eligible for the corps. Any •sophomore, junior, or senior who can,meet the requirements can apply. Lieut. Port said that applicants will prob ably not be called for active duty until •after graduation. Suspicion naturally falls upon the Norths, especially, when. Pam reveals that she invited Brent over to see her; while Jerry's alibi is that he was walking in the park. Then there is the interest shown in Mrs. Brent by Louis Berex who may have murdered her husband to have a clear field. - Further complications set in when it is ,found out that the "corpse" had been carrying on an alliance with Jane WilSon, and had been threatened by her husband, Ben. And of course, there is the handsome wolf-about-town, Clin ton Edwards, who took anybody's and everybody's wife. Who done it? Your guess is as good as the futile deductions of Lieutenant Wiegand and his foil Mullins. The unravelling of the mystery, however, takes place in as surprising a fashion as was ever depicted in the movies. A STATE COLLEGE Senior To Be Given Trophy At Mat Finals To Penn State's senior of the year will go a 15-inch silver statu ette at the Eastern Intercol legiate Wrestling Association finals in Rec Hall Saturday night. Awarded by the junior editorial board of The Daily Collegian, the trophy will go to one of two can didates still being considered for the honok. The winner will be an nounced Saturday morning. The board's selection will not be based on a senior's political affili ations or on athletic ability. The group is interested in rewardng the senior for his work during four years of College in the interest of a "better Penn State." This will be the fifth year that the trophy has been given. Each senior who is judged outstanding has his College achievements in vestigated thoroughly. 4 Coeds Vie For Sweater Queen Four coeds have been selected by IMA units to vie for the honor of . becoming Penn State's first They are Marjorie E: Siebert '44, Lila A.

Twill Gabardine Chosen For Blazer Material A twill gabardine junior blazer in royal blue was selected by the committee yesterday after it had considered three different styles. Philip Jaffe and Richard S. Peif ly, co-chairmen pf the group, re vealed that the style chosen would cost $5.50. It will be a three-button front royal blue model with white buttons. White piping, or edging, will be placed around the coat front to the end of the blazer's facing. The College seal will be sewed on the upper left pocket. The Athletic Store will handle all orders. Orders will probably be taken in a week and can be filled within three weeks. Royal blue was picked because the com mittee felt that the color would blend easier with the usual sum mer attire. Cabinet Meets Tonight The regular weekly meeting of All-College Cabinet will be held tonight in the Alumni Office at 9 p. Tuesday night's meeting was given over to reports of mem bers on just what their organiza tions have done this year. ragianPartly Cloudy Rising Temperature WEATHER PRICE: THREE CENTS ' 'Name Band' Worries Of Committee End Welcome relief came to the In terfraternity Ball committee's re cent band-selection worries last night when Co-chairmen Charles F. Mattern '42 and Arthur H. Sha piro '42 announced that Raymond Scott and his nationally famous or chestra will play for the dance on March 27. Scott will receive $1,250 for his appearance, the committee reveal ed. The admission price and other arrangements will be announced later. By clinching the deal by tele gram last night, the IF. Ball c om mittee was relieved of anxiety which began last Thursday when Harry James, whose band was or iginally signed, was forced to can cel the engagement because of an option suddenly exercised by a Hollywood movie company. Fears developed concerning the availa bility of other "big name" bands. To replace James, Interfrater nity Council made an informal recommendation that Vncent Lo pez' orchestra be signed. Because of "unfavorable student response to this suggestion," however, the com mittee took advantage of an op portunity to engage Raymond Scott. style of swing which all but eclipses his excellent rendition of smooth dance music, Scott skyrock eted to national prominence sev eral years ago and has since held his own with the other top-notch ors. Although a masterful arranger, Scott has a weakness for crazy titles. Among his better-known tunes are "Huckleberry Duck," "War Dance for Wooden. Indians," "Invisible Ink," and "Dinner Mu sic for a Pack of Hungry Canni bals." Late News Flashes ... WASHINGTON Admiral Hart told a committee in Washington yesterday that most of the Jap ad vances and victories could be cred ited to their superiority in the air which prevented the United States destroyers and cruisers from oper ating effectively.
