Ritenour, director of the College Health Service, warned all students yesterday to beware of str.ay dogs, since ■ they may be infected with rabies. • 1 Six . students -were- bitten last week, Dr. Ritenour said, and are now being given ■ the Pasteur treatment against hydrophobia at the Dispensary. Students being treated are J. Howard 'Mendenhall ’42, William H. Rapp, Jr. ’42, Florence E. Seid ner ’42, Irene L. Sendek ’43, Vaugn C. Stapleton ’44, and Gil bert Weinberger ’44. The health service director ask ed students to be wary of patting strange dogs. Two dogs in town tire known to have had the dis ease. They were examined in Harrisburg after their deaths’last week. Stricken dogs will show a change in their disposition as a first symptom. - They will wander aimlessly and snap at any animate or inanimate object. Not all who are bitten contract the disease, Dr. Ritenour stated, but for those who do contract it there is no cure.

Scott’s orchestra is really three bands in one—a full-sized orches tra of 13 pieces which plays most of the evening and confines itself largely to smooth, danceable tunes; and two small units of six and seven men for strictly “show nurm bei-s.”. The six-man outfit is the “Ray mond Scott Quintet” of “Toy Trumpet” fame, with which Scott first skyrocketed to national re cognition. A fanatic on acoustics and euphony, the IF Ball maestro refuses to call this group a sextet simply because he likes the sound of the word “quintet” better. For the same reason, he calls himself A STATE COLLEGE Mat, Swim, Gym, Fencing, Skiing Managers Elected Waring Keeps Froth Out Of Circulation “If Fred Waring would return Froth’s cover cut there might be a Froth published today or to morrow morning, ” Ross Gilbert, worried editor of the Froth, an nounced late last night. The picture-cut of the Thes pians was borrowed from Froth and sent to Fred Waring’s print ing company last week*; with the idea of using the same cut on the front of the Thespian’s program that is to appear as Frothy’s cov er. Seventy-five campus shots, two dozen sneak-preview shots of the forthcoming Thespian show and three pages of candid camera snaps of Senior Ball have been printed along with jokes that would have, and did, make grand father chuckle.

They are vocalists Dorothy Collins and Billy Leach, and the bandleader himself at the piano. Booth reservations for IF Ball must be made at Student Union by noon today, Co-chairmen Charles F.
