The accelerated, three-semes
ter program is Penn State’s ma
jor contribution to America’s
war efforts. For the duration,
it is to be regarded as a normal
and not a special program of
study.

The Old Order Changes ...
The 20 most outstanding seniors will be select
ed tonight by a group of junior students who
will judge them on their contributions to Penn
State during their four years.
This is only a tribute on scroll for four years
of work, hard work that has been ended. But
there is a greater tribute to these students, a tri
bute which cannot be pointed out on a scroll to
“most outstanding seniors.”
The reward of work well done is not always a
•shingle, a lcey, or public tribute. To these 20
■departing seniors, the scroll will only recreate
■m their minds incidents and prdbleths which they
Vnet during their four years. These problems
may not have been solved, but they were met
■with earnestness and sincerity.
These 20 outstanding seniors will get their
greatest satisfaction in seeing other students, new
campus leaders, following in their footsteps, at
tacking the same problems with the same forti
tude, and working as earnestly as they did.
•The reward, then? The reward for a job well
done is to haive known that they had a part in
completing the job. These 20 seniors will leave
College with another shingle, but they have left
a heritage in its place.
The heritage? Work!
Whitewash Banned
“Ignorance is no excuse in the eyes of the law.”
■Last year’s Cabinet decreed that College social
functions could not be advertised 'by whitewash
r.igns on campus sidewalks unless permission was
first granted by the student government Execu
tive Committee.
A number of months has elapsed since that
3egislation was passed, and many newly elected
•Officers of campus organizations may not be
•'aware of the law. However, ignorance is no ex
cuse. Cabinet has enacted no serious penalty for
violations, but too many Offenses may lead to
unore serious measures.
(Daily Notes Of Interest
It is interesting to note that the original peace
time program adopted in 1937 and put into oper
ation in 1938 called for 50 merchant ships a year

v/as expanded to 100 ships a year; in 1940 to 200
chips; in 1941 to 400. Schedules for 1942 call
for 750 ships and for 1943 approximately 1,500.
Over 7,500 aliens of German, Japanese, and

We’re still in there punching for some social
activity this summer. We note that College offi :
cials are quite anxious for attendance in these
parts for the third sehiester. Well, hotv about
making it enticing with a few juicy dances? Also,
we may as well throw our two cents in towards a
motion for bigger and better hours for coeds this
summer. After all, we hate to end a date with
the setting sun.
Comp ren ez- Vous ?
This little bit of dialogue drifted our way from
a session of a Com class the other day:
Professor: We’re going to have three compre
hensives before the end of the semester.
Student: How cotne three exams, Prof?
P: Well, a comprehensive is supposed to tell
me how much you know, isn’t it?
S: Yeah.
P: With three comprehensives I can find out
three times as much

it's A Hell-Hole
Two fraternity men were walking listlessly on
campus the other day, b,bth with disgusted airs.
Said Bob Herrman to his sigma nu brother Jim

And Jim came back with the snappy retort,
“Okay, Bob, let’s go out to the House.”
