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.
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.

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.
