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

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."
