Ritenour Warns
Of Hydrophobia
Dr. Joseph P. 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 y Triple-TKreat / Orchestra
“Triple-threat” is an adjective
ordinarily applied to versatile foot
ball stars, but Raymond Scott, who
will play for Interfraternity Ball
Friday night, has brought the term
into the field of music.
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

Waring Keeps Froth
Out Of Circulation
“If Fred Waring would return
Froth’s cover cut there might be

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.
