Ned StartzeL, Ex-Thespian Funny Man
Entertains Entertainers And Army Men
Ferdy Grofe’s “On the Trail”
would be a good theme song fpr
the Thespian Mobile Units which
have traveled over 1,500 miles in
the last two months, playing be
fore army camp' audiences.
Seven trips have been made in
this time, six to the New Cumber
land Induction Center and one to
the Camp at Carlisle, by the 15 to
20 people who generally make up
a unit.
Mobile units are financed from
a $1,300 fund; $l,OOO was given
from Senior Ball profits and the
other $3OO came from the orofits
of The Daily Collegian’s Victory
Ball. It takes about $5O to cover
the expanses for each trip.
Over $425 has been spent al
ready. The remaining funds will
be spent as long as the Army
wants Penn State entertainment.
The statement of a sergeant, per
manently stationed at the New
Cumberland center, to a soldier
sitting next to him makes it seem
unlikely that Penn State Units will
be anything but welcome for a
long time. “You know Bob,” he

Poll Comparisons Show
Summer Enrollment Rise
An upward trend in Summer
semester stock is indicated by the
comparison of the figures of the
two polls concerning enrollment,
the first taken at January regis
tration and the second last week.
In January 2,335 stated they
would return for the Summer
semester while 2,775 indicated
they would be back in last week’s
1 survey.
. Seventy-five per cent of the En
gineering School juniors, sopho
mores and freshmen will return
for the Summer semester instead
of the 65 per cent listed in yester
day’s Daily Collegian figures.
This places the Engineering
School in third place behind the
Mineral Industries and Chemistry
and Physics Schools in regard to
Summer semester enrollment.
PRICE: THREE CENTS
Coeds Granted
11 O'clocks For
Summer Term
Upperclass. women will have 11
o'clock permissions for Summer
semester, as a result of WSGA
Senate action last night.
According to the recently re
vised freshman code, after the
first two weeks new coeds may
have ten o’clock week night per
missions with no dating after
5:30 p. m.
Hours for Junior Prom will be
three o’clock Friday night, two
o’clock Saturday night, and ten
o’clock Sunday night for all co

A suggestion for freshman mix
er dances on non-dating week
ends, to be included in the orien
tation program, was made by Jean
Babcock ’42, acting WSGA head.
Directed by honorary societies as
were those held this year, these
dances might be attended by dif
ferent groups Friday and Satur
day nights. Patricia E. Diener
’45, freshman senator, was ap
pointed to investigate the plan.
A “Bars for Tars” day will be
conducted by House of Repre
sentatives to collect candy to send
to the crew of the U.S.S. Pennsyl
vania, according to Dorothy K.
Brunner ’44, WSGA vice-presi
dent. Candy bars should be
brought to the de:|n of women’s
office Tuesday.
“Because we do have to live
here, we might as well help keep
the College looking good,” stated
Miss Babcock in commenting on
the condition of front campus.
The recent “Coney Islandish”
appearance of the campus does
not present a too favorable im
pression on visitors, she added.
In planning affairs for next se
mester, the faculty is asked to
conform as much as possible to
WSGA regulations.
