Successor To The Free Lance, Established 1887 TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 21, STATE COLLEGE, PA, Froth Parody Issue Appears Late Again Frothy’s ill-fated so-called hu mor magazine will make its month ly <ha!) appearance upon the stands today. Originally slated to come for the edification of the Mothers the. past weekend, the Printer luck ily, held it back, so our fortunate parents would not be subjected to Penn State’s only shame.. Claiming to be a parody issue, Froth devotes part of the magazine to lampooning “The New Yorker,” and part to satirizing “The Daily Collegian.” Needless to say, this has been done in the “rag’s” usual, shall we say, putrid manner Movies, Talks To Describe V-7 Training Program A program of sound movies and talks describing the Navy’s V-7 program will 'ljje • held in 121 Sparks Building -at 8.. p. m. to morrow. V-. 7 is the Navy’s train ing program which, leads to Naval Reserve commissions as deck or engineering officers. Ensigns Smith and Jacobs will answer all inquiries from stu dents regarding V-7 in 305 Old Main, 'beginning at 9 a. m. tomor row. The naval officers will con tinue their interviews throughout the day. All students interested in the V-7 program are asked to attend tomorrow’s meeting. LA School Curriculum Changed Slightly For Summer Semester (Editor's Note - This is the first in a series of articles ex plaining the programs which the different schools will carry out during the summer semes ter.) The Summer semester program in the School of Liberal Arts will be changed very little from the program carried out in the regu lar semester. All classes will re quire the same credits. Addition of the V-l naval reserve training will be the chief change in 'the pro gram. The V-l program is particularly important to students in the Lib eral Arts School because of the chance it gives them to remain in school . without danger of being drafted. It adds to the required curriculum six credits of mathe matics including trigonometry and a year of physics. These will take the place of other requirements Ma For rshall Mayl COMMENCEMENT ARRANGER —Clarence E. Bullinger College marshal yesterday announced the names of student and faculty mar shals and plans for commence ment and Baccalaureate services to be held in Rec Hall, Sunday, May 10. Council To Close Enrollment Poll Students who have not already registered their plans in regard to the Summer semester with their advisors are urged to do so some time today by the Council of Administration which is con ducting the poll. Through the results of this sur vey the Council hopes to gather some idea of just how many stu dents plan to take advantage of the College’s new accelerated pro gram. From these figures plans can be made concerning the Sum mer term. Students should fill out a brief questionnaire on which they state whether or not they will return to school on May 18. The Council polled the student body on the same question at the January registration. Of the 5,804 students who registered then, '2,524 indicated that they would return for the Summer semester, 1,734 said they were undecided about attending, and 1,546 stated that they would not return. and will not be additional credits. According to Charles W. Stod dard, dean of the school, the Navy Department has expressed a spe cial need for liberal arts students in officer ranks. The V-l training will lead to V-7 deck officer train ing. Another addition to the School’s curriculum is the introduction of Portuguese as a part of the pro gram to emphasize Latin American relations along with Spanish, his tory, and trade relations in eco nomics courses. Study in German, French,- and Russian will continue because of their importance in government service. The aim of the school, Dean Stoddart said, is to give a good lib eral arts education along with the V-l material for naval training. “As the need arises, though," he said, “we will continue to add to our program."
