Politicians Bury
Hatchet To Give
Campaign Talks
By EDITH L. SMITH '43
Campus politicians buried the
hatchet long enough to present
campaign speeches at the All-Col
lege mass meeting in Schwab Aud
itorium last night.
With a student representation of
approximately 100, (those_ daring
to cut Sociology 4 and 'defense
courses,) Jerome H. Blakeslee '43
(C) and William C. Mazzocco '43
(I), candidates for All-College
presidency, pleaded for support in
five minute speeches. Other nom
inees introduced party colleagues
and set forth platforms.
An all-out plea for cooperation
during elections March 24, 25 - and
26 was made by both groups. Need
of absolute confidence in •party
leaders was emphasized by almost
all candidates.
H. Leonard Krouse '42, senior
class president, presided as master
of ceremonies. Jeanne C. Stiles
'42, elections committee head, ex
plained alterations in this year's
code.
Smoothness in dress and deliv
ery prevailed during the final
speeches by Blakeslee 'and Maz
zocco.
The. Cani - puscandida,te
„asked
students to have discretibil in aP
pointing student leaders to offices
during the speed-up college pro
gram. He pledged himself and his
Party to the interests of the,. "Penn
State students" and promised de
mocracy in all governmental func
tioning.
Mazzoccoi Independent nominee,
pledged his party to cooperation
and furtherance of fraternity ,and
non-fraternity relationships. He
expressed his disappointment in
the turnout for the meeting which
he said, "showed a defiinte trend
toward political cliques on the
campus."
Jess V. Fardella '43 (C) All-Col
•lege vice-president was absent
'from the - meeting on a•boxing trip;
- while James R. Frakes '45 (I) pres
ident, was confined to the College
hospital. •
Fur Flies As IFC
'Frowns Severely'
On Mixed Drinking
"Now all togetnet, gentlemen,
one big frown,"- stated Thomas J.
L. Henson '42, Interfraternity
Council president, as Council
members decided to "frown se
verely"' on .unchaperoned mixed
drinking.
This mass frown was not insti
gated without difficulty. In fact,
it took three shillalahs, a brickbat,
and two clubs to calm down Prof.
Sheldon C. Tanner, IFC adViser,
who was in favor of "disapprov
ing' instead of "frowning."
`.'Come hell, high tide, or high
water," he shouted, before being
subdued, "parents will not permit
their kiddies to drink!"
William F. Finn '42 was not of
the same opinion and said so in
so many left hooks.
"If we're of gun-age, we're of
drinkin' age," said Big Bill, dust
ing his fingers.
This remark was followed by a
timid gurgle from' the vice-presi
dent, heretofore unnoticed, who

Extra!
By JEANNE STILES
Women's Editor
Gone we the
days when men
run the campus!
The feminine ==
part of the Col
legian staff, out 97
to prove" this, ousted the men from
their cellar niches in Carnegie
Hall, stocked up on "no-sleep"
pills, leaned back in their chairs,
and set about "putting the paper
to bed."
After spending 149 issues hud
dled on the well-added back page,
it's no wonder the gals Went
slightly haywire. But, tomor
row, again, the women will take
over, only this time •in a more
serious vein. By that time they'll
be more acustomed to the pace.
From stem to stern, this issue
of the Daily Collegian •is feminiz
ed. And it was good to see the
men sink to their knees and beg
for two inches.
Marce 'Daisy Mae' Stringer
Snags Man In Eighth Show
Thespians Rale
Her Top Coed
After eight Thespian shows,
Marce "Daisy Mae" Stringer '42
finally snags her man! Ever since
her freshman year, Marce has
sung, downed, and danced to
charm TheiPian audiences. Each
time, script writers would give her
a man. Trouble was, they always
took him away before the show
was over.
In "Hide and Peek," Marce gets
her man
. and keeps him too. Her
true love is none other than Rub
b,erpuss, an escaped convict. Marce
incidentally, plays the part of
Corky, a college coed. In addition
to novelty numbers, she calls an
old-fashioned square dance.
Miss Stringer, who holds the
record for performances, was sec
ond woman to be named outstand
ing. Thespian coed by fellow fun
ny-men. She was awarded a gold
necklace at the annual banquet.
Dorothy L. Reeves '4l was first re
cipient.
Marce's Thespian career began
in the - chorus: From dancing she Coeds Set Plans
went to comedy lines, and in the
new show returns to dancing—but
this time it's feature numbers.
In • addition to regular shows, For Mother s Day
Marce helps the Mobile Units build
morale in surrounding army
camps. She has earned part of her
College expenses
The old saying about talent run-:
ning in the family applies to
Marce, for her three sisters are
also entertainers. One sister, Lou,
stole Thespian shows six years ago

Special Women's Issue
OF THE PENNSYLV
WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 18 . STATE COLLEGE, PA
Gals Oust Men
Women covered the sports,
wrote the edits, the sports' edit—
" Between The Liars," and treated
men's news the way they treat
ours. "Little Bits" Lehman, sub
bing for the night, steamed and
fumed , Eis he batted out "W, the
Vermin."
So to the front page came the
women, just to prove' to the hard
boiled men that they could do it.
Pet peeve of the year has been
that the men spend too much time
'bickering about women's affairs.
So to impress on the men. that
their's are not tip-top, we've tack
led some of our peeves against
them.
But it won't be for long—our
victory will be short-lived. From
today's page one prominence, wo
men's news will again recede and
the men• will smirk as they regain
their haven.
But "We, the Women" know the
women can take over. This is the
yezlr for women "to the front."
And this is THE issue to prove it.

MARGARET K. SHERMAN '43
WSGA President
Men Will Sport
Revealing Coats
College hotdogs are looking.for
ward to Spring to dispense with_
figure-concealing top coats and
reveal manly shoulders and slim
hips. Not to be outdone by the
sweater girls, the metamorphosis
of warm weather this year will
more than ever show off massive
curves.
Unless the army gets them first,
BMOC's will display shorter jac
kets, pegged trousers, and sleeves
that •reveal bulging muscles, re
placing pre - war
. loose - fitting
styles.
For summer semester wear,
shorts are predicted to be a top
ranking favorite. Long, droopy
shorts are advised for those with
"spindle shanks," while the ath
lete will prefer short.
Shirts of thin "peek-aboo" ma
terials, light as a feather, are be
ing displayed in cool colors.
Water and sun dried hair and
skin need special care in Summer
months to remain soft, luxurious,
and strokable. To keep your hair
and your girl, to banish the fear of
a sunburned baldy, invest in subt
ly scented bases, creams, and oils.
A little care to your hair and com
plexion each night before retiring
will chase wrinkles and prevent a
high forehead. In the morning re
move the night cream with a soft
tissue, apply cream and dash cold
water on your face and neck—al
ways cream the neck to keep it
smooth and supple—and every
pore will tingle with the fresh vi
brancy of youth. •
