For the duration, it is to be regarded as a normal and not a special program of study. Another Ag Project . The Agricultural Student Council, long recog nized as one of the most active councils on cam juts, will attempt another major project when registration is held for the Summer semester on May ’lB and 19. Through the use of an extensive questionnaire, which will he distributed among all ag students, the Council will attempt to find strong and weak points in teaching methods used by professors in the School of Agriculture. Pointing out that this is no attempt to rate in dividual instructors, the Council will turn over the results to the dean who, in turn, will make use of the information as he detems fit. After seeing the type of questionnaire that will he used, ag professors have given full coopera tion to (the plan, according to Council members in charge of the poll. Dancing, No Parking “Dancing down to the very ’bricks” will be ■dancing down ;to the macadam if Summer plans of Recreation Coordinated and other physical fit mess groups can be carried out. Seems that with less wear on the College park iag lots by student and faculty cars a new use has been found for the spacious areas. If some means can be found to slick up the rubber-worn surfaces, out-of-doors dancing will become a ireality—perhaps the first All-College moonlight social. Although the plan at present is little more than on idea it is representative of what the Summer semester student can expect in the way of recrea tion. Public opinion on such new adventures will undoubtedly be appreciated by those in charge. We'ite all for it. Hat men With Whistles Almost overlooked in the maze of routine re ports and special legislation required by the ac celerated program, a small but significant sug gestion was presented to All-College Cabinet earlier this week. A request was made for hat Society members to serve in the capacity of aux iliary firemen and policemen. H. O. Smith, b’prough defense coordinator-, pre sented the proposal for the approval or sanction of Cabinet. However, action on the matter re mains with Hat Society Council and the most thalt Cabinet can do is to back up the program if ap proved by the combined societies. Seasoning behind the plan is based on the as sumption that hat societies -sire well-organized groups which could easily assume the responsi bility. Further argument for the idea may be found in usual student respect for wearers of the hats. Although the auxiliary police would probably 'never be called upon for actual fire-fighting or dirty work they would be very effective in pa trolling the streets during blackouts and aiding in general police duties. Beauty of the plan lies in the proposal that only the sophomore societies accept the responsi bility. After a few years of training an efficient organization could he built up. Many unrelenting critics of the hat societies have attacked the honor men on the grounds ‘ih.at they do no actual constructive work after the fanfare of tapping has faded. Here is one oppor tunity to repudiate that criticism. 1 Robert M. Falcon Milton Dolinget . .Seymdur Rosenberg! and Thomas Wheatley Jane H. Murphy Louts EL Bel! —H. J.Z —H. J. Z. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Bare Facts It was a. hot Sathfday afternoon, ho classes, nothing for coeds to do but bake in the court and soak up God’s sithlight. A WSGA senator eit joyed Old Sdl uiitil she Was burned to a* crisp and theh retired to the soothing coitifort of a shower. After allowing the spiked drops to boiihce against her anatomy for a while, she decided it wks much too warm to assume a decent garb to stroll back to tier room in beautiful Atherton Hall. So she meandered down the corridor a la hatUrale. A click of heels beat a staccato warning that a hostess was following her . . . and incidentally garnering a delightful derriere view. The BWOC was ashamed of her nudity, but did not hasten to cover it, no. She kept her poise and con tinued to meander to her room. Th'e clacking trailed her to the door, paused long enough to read the label, and trotted. off down tile stairs. A door opened, a voice scream ed, “Do you know who was stalking you down the hall?” The BWOC said she didn’t. The voice an swered, “It was Miss Ray herself.” Serenade To A JFindow Hats off to Beta Theta Pi which set a precedent by serenading Jackie Shafer, ChiO, under her window when her marriage to Brother Jim Bal latyne was announced. In regard to the singing, Thetas remarked as Brother Betas trouped en masse by the little grey manse, “Gee, did Jim Mulholland pin Sue Clous er?” Well, well. Again in connection with the small-scale riot the announcement caused, Evelyn Thompsoh, queen of half-baked ideas, came out with, “dh, Jim Baliatyne, he’s a Kappa, isn’t he?” . Cruel Fate Jobs we’d hate to be handling during hot weather include: Bill Lundelius’, as IFC pi-exy, for he has to enforce no mixed drinking (if he can). Polly Keller’s, as perplexing Pianhel president, for she must guide and instruct Greeks that lead piping is too warm an activity for Summer sports. —THE CUB llllllilllllllllililllllllllilinillllllllllllilllllllllllllllllHilinilllllllllllllllllllllllHl to Look Smooth and Well Turned Out in a FROMM SPORT OUTFIT 4% \'A~O fromm’s Opposite Old Main Your .choice of this season's all wool, lat- est fashioned spoft. sjggs All Sizes Gabardine SLACKS 5.50 up All Sizes State College Campus News Briefs LA Grads’ Notice The Liberal Arts School has is sued a reijufest to graduating sen iors to go to the following rooms to obtain instruction sheets cott cerhing Commencement: Arts and Letters—l 32 Sparks; ’Corhitierce and Filiarice—lo4 Sparks; Joitr nalism—lls Carnegie Hall.
