Spring- And Stuff
What with Spring and buds, and buddies, and
foirdies all coming out of Winter quarters, Penn
State’s campus begins to look like lookin’.
With Nature doing her best, and the co-eds
adding generally to the situation, our campus is
one of the most beautiful in America.
So we all go out and stretch our weary bones
on the grass_bringing with us some of the
knusty air from inside. But the sun' soon fixes us
Tip and all the old Winter feeling is gone.
, But there is one thing we can’t get rid of by
the sunbath method, and that is our habit of
snaking any place we live in look like a waste
basket. Sun can’t melt that habit away...but a
little thought about it can.
S-O-O-O-O, when we creep out of our Winter
lairs sometime today or tomorrow let’s leave the
trash and waste paper behind.
What Again?
Yes again! Let’s dispense with exams. After
last night’s socializing, we vociferate “To H—l
With Exams.”
But seriously, this is no time for fiddling
around. Neither is it the time for rash and un-
wise action
It is time, however, for some changes in our
•ponderous and stumbling exam and degree re
quirement systems.
How about a student-faculty committee with
sense in its head, action in its soul (and soles), to
get together and strip our decks for action.
The decks are so covered with red tape and
antiques in varying stages of uselessness that we
doubt if any deck is left.
Which boils down to_..Ain’t we or are we
going to get something done. besides editorial
writing. At least, it makes good rhaterial for
/editorial rehash.
Turn ’Em Off!
Last week, we wrote that electricity was being
wasted by students and faculty—despite the ex
tension of daylight hours by President Roosevelt.
So we reiterate: “Turn ’em off. Let’s slap a Jap
with every watt.”
What About N. Y. A.?
There is one question bothering us lately which
no one seems to be able to answer with authority.
What is going to happen to N.Y.A.??
In Congress, cries are heard that N.Y.A. and
C.C.C. are “outmoded boondoglers” which cannot
justify their existences. ‘*Defense Classes” are
quite the rage today, and N.Y.A. lespociaiiy stu
dent aid' is more concerned with other subjects.
But we still want to know what is going to
happen to N.Y.A. The suspense is awful.

Anyway, It Didfi V Rain
Interfraternity .Ball transpired last evening.
Quite a few fraternity men and their dates at
tended. The weather was very balmy, unusual
for big Weekends, but then— ~
The following freshmen were in attendance:
Estelle Brown and Bill Wih'tersteen, Peggy Good
and Ralph Clouser, Maggie 'Stern and David
Raphael, Mim Ramsey and Dale Hamilton, Jane
Stoudnour and Bufcz Bryant.
That is a 11....

Seein’ as how we don’t come out on Wednes
days—the appropriate day for this ditty—we’il
present it anyway, as a contribution from Frosh
hopeful Chuck Hall:
The first day’s balloting is over,
Yet no candidate’s in clover.
Two more days of stress and strain
Will terminate this year’s campaign.
Seek the bookworms in their holes;
Drag them forth to yonder polls.
Despite how much you’ve raved and ranted.
Never take their votes for granted.
Then to smirking politician
And the stuff that he’s been dishin’
If a winner, wish him well,
And if not, go to bed for a day,
You’ll need the sleep.
Verse two sounds like a prophecy for Ridenour,
unpinned but fallen.
And There's The One
Says one moron to the other, “What’s a Necker
chief?” - ..
Replies the other slyly, “President of a sorori-
Come Into My Par lot!
H. Leonard Krouse, austere elections board
member, strolled Old Main to investigate
a bit of illegal poll-hauling and confronted a
genial lad waiting patiently in his little auto.
“How’s business, bringin’ many in?” says
Krouse, in his death plot, whereupon the young
ster reported that everything was fine. “Just
brought up a load of Du’s and Sigma Pi’s and
some other friends.”
—D. S
“Think you’ll make out?” he continued, getting
him deeper and deeper involved.
“Oh yes, the Independents were way ahead, but
we’ve been hauling 'em in all day,” he confided,
“I guess you’re not the same party as I am, huh?”
“What party are you,” questioned Krouse, and
the obliging lad answered only too emphatically,
that he was Campus, he was a fraternity man!!
Last person to vote before the polls closed was
Rachel Dutcher, cute Alpha Chi O pledge.

Smash open your penny bank, hock your room
mate’s fraternity pin but get to the Thespian show
tonight to see Kelly (Rabinowitz) and Ted Clauss
knock themselves and you out as two escaped
convicts who pledge one of the local Greek clubs.
Best scene of the lot is a little number which is
“way over the line” entitled, “Off To Bed.” Need
we say more?
Frosh. Bub Mellott does himself proud, also,
and such leg art!

Ardent golf enthusiast Don Lee betook himself
to the green acres as Spring bloomed forth for a
few practice rounds. After much cursing, slicing,
and putting, Mr. Lee-finished the 9 rounds only
to face an interested bystander who asked him
his scoi;e.
“I didn’t mark it down,” said Lee, “but you’ll
find it recorded on the College seismograph."

In the interest of National Defense and coed

belters To The Editor—
Pans E. L. F.
Dear Mr. Editor
After reading the article by
E. L. F. in the “We the Women”
column of the Collegian, Tuesday,
March 24, T am more disgusted
than usual with the attitude of
the American people in general
and the Penn State students in
particular as to our country’s
present crisis.
The need of propaganda, obvi
ous or not, is" apparent to any per
son who is simple-minded. The
greater majority of our fellow stu
dents do not actually realize that
we are at war. I wonder how long
it will take them to come to their
senses, or whether they will have
to be brought around forcibly—
as in many other countries —by an
enemy rain of bombs.
Whether you publish this or not
makes no difference. to me, as I
am sure that my arguments will
have little effect on the “E.L.F.’s”
of our campus.
Sincei’ely,
Eugene F. Scherr, ’42
