Former Penn Stater Cited For Heroism Sophs May Lose Deferments “Unless college students get Summer jobs which in themselves insure deferment, they will not be considered for deferment,” General Lewis B. Hershey, direc tor of the Selective Service, told Registrar William S. Hoffman during last week's meeting of the American Association of Collegi ate Registrars at Chicago. Following Generj.ll Hershey's speech, delivered to the delegates, Hoffman asked him about stu dents quitting for the Summer work, to which Hershey replied that it didn’t matter whether the College had or not; deferments could not Us giv en.' . ’ 1 . ’ ; • According to . General Hershey, present sophomores must be en rolled as juniors'before they cdh get any ' consideration from draft Slip iatlif @ GJoUpgiau H VOL. 38—No. 135 Degree Possible Despite Draft Cabinet Selects WILLIAM S. HOFFMAN OF THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 22, STATE COLLEGE, PA boards. This does not mean just having enough credits to be a jun ior, but it means being formally registered as a junior, Hershey explained. Thus, if present sophomores quit for the Summer and are drafted before they get back and register as juniors, they will get no deferment bee;.-,use they are college students. When questioned by Hoffman, about deferments for students'that fail during their junior and sen ior years, the draft director said that he had never given any thought to the status of those men. In concluding the interview, General Hershey warned students of draft age “not to. get a job running his dad’s gas station this Summer.” School Seal CIRCUS DIRECTOR Coach Gene Wettstone announced labt night that special reduced prices lor “Penn State Revue in 1942,” fourth annual All-College Circus, will prevail lor all the visiting high school seniors who will be guests of the College Saturday. Circus Queen Will Lead'Waltz Time' A new twist to the presentation of the Circus Queen will be intro* duced at the All-College Circus in Rec Hall at 8 p. m. Saturday. Escorted by a girls’ concert dance group acting as her court of hon or, the yet unnamed Queen will lead the dancers in a special waltz number. For the' benefit of the high school seniors who will be visit ing the campus Saturday, Circus Director Gene Wettstone has an nounced that a special reduced 15 cent ticket will be offered to all registered guests. The program, including numer ous gymnastic, aerial, dancing and balancing acts, will be highlighted in the finale by the traditional announcement of the outstanding senior athlete of the ye&r. The number one Fbnn State athlete will be selected by Daily Collegian sports writers. Having passed the hurdles of censorship and audition, three fraternity groups will compete for the Circus fraternity award cup. Beta Sigma Rho, 1941 winners, will defend their title with a skit entitled, “Sachorini, the Strato sphere Man.” Competing against last year's champs will be Delta Sigma Phi and Sigma Chi, the former with a contribution titled, "What’s Cornin’ Off,” the latter with a melodrama, “You Name It.” Registration Dates Set For Summer Sessions A complicated plan of registra tion for the Summer semester has arisen out of the arrangement for running it along with the regular Summer sessions, inter, Summer, and post sessions. Dates for registration are: up perclassmen (Summer semester', May .18; freshmen (Summer se mester', June 8; inter session, June 8; Summer session, June 29; post session,i August 10. ors Saturday * * * PRICE THREE CENTS Students May Suffer From Withdrawal Under Penn State's newly adopted accelerated program, a student may get most, if not all of his college education complete be fore entering military service. Thdt was advanced as one of the foremost advantages for at tending the first semester of the next regular College year which has been moved up to start May 18 for upperclassmen and June 8 for first semester freshmen. Many persons will find them selves at ai disadvantage if they do not attend the Summer semes ter, in the opinion of College offi cials, because some first semester courses may not be available in September, and perhaps a year later, the courses may not be scheduled at all. Statistics from the years before the last war show that many of the students who leave school for duty in one of the services do not return to college to finish their education. Under new Army and Navy training plans, it is possible for students to attend regular college courses and receive training for reserve commissions in the re spective services. Mathematical courses and physics will be intro duced in the Liberal Arts curri culum to qualify students to pass V-5 and V-7. examinations. Arthur R. Warnock, dean of men, explained, “There is a de finite advantage to the country in making available earlier Col lage-trained men and women for civilian and active duty.” In making its patriotic gesture by sponsoring a moved-up se mester, the College is taking .im economic risk, since no appro priations have been made as yet, and it would be a shallow gesture if students don’t attend, thinks (Continued on Page Five) 20 'Oustanding' Seniors Selected Twenty seniors, who in the words of All-College president Jerome H. Blakeslee ’43, “havte discharged their obligations and served Penn State beyond the call of their duties,” were named as the “outstanding members of the class of 1942” last night.
