For the duration, it is to be regarded as a normal and not a special program of study. Wednesday, May 6, 1942 So The Story Goes . . . Following the announcement of the winners in Portfolio's recent literary contest, it was learned [from authentic sources that three of the prize winning articles were contributed by the same person who wrote under three different names. The author used naan.es of people with whom he was well acquainted, and in that way, the articles were authentic as coming from regularly enrolled students, of the College. This is no at tempt to call anyone on the “proverbial carpet,” Ibut instead is only an informal gesture toward revealing some of the oddities behind the news f;tories of the day. Coat Hanger Campaign In answer to a request from the- United States Army Reception Center at New Cumberland, Pa., etudent government leaders have designated that tomorrow will be, campus “coat hanger” day. There has been no national law passed that will require students to cooperate with this cam paign, but instead, it is another patriotic measure, which is comparable to the “aluminum collection” that was conducted nationally several months ago. .Originally, this appeal from the Army was directed at all newspapers in the towns and cities of Pennsylvania. The official request asked “all daily and weekly newspapers of Pennsylvania to •invite readers to send coat hangers to the New Cumberland Center. Capt. John E. Tilton points out that Army selectees going through the Center ore well outfitted with clothing and equipment, lijut no provision has been made for coat hang ers. He says the need is almost limitless. Have them sent express or freight, prepaid.” Undoubtedly there are many unused coat [bangers in the closets of both fraternity and in dependent rooming houses. As students go to classes tomorrow, they will have an opportunity to leave these old coat hangers at the collection center, which is conveniently located at the base o£ the front steps of Old Main. Entertaining The Army Early in February, the Victory. Ball gave $3OO to the Thespian Mobile Unit as a starter toward a proposed plan \ 0 send collegiate enter tainers to Army A month latter the sen ior class followed with a $l,OOO donation from Jfenior Ball profits. This money has been spent wisely. Thrifty Thespians have been making this sum go a long way toward boosting morale in the camps.. Already they have made eight trips to the New Cumberland Induction Center and one to the Carlisle barx-acks. In every case their mu r.ic, their dancers, their funny men have “gone over big” with the service men. ■Students do not realize that entertaining men Scorn every walk of life is not the easiest thing :in the wox-ld. Business men, professional men, laborers, and the recently unemployed must all be appealed to. Amateurs take on a tough as signment when they attempt this job, Hut the campus group has a good record. Members of the unit must woi'k hard at times, cut their study time in half, and practice almost constantly; and all they get out of it is a meal xifter the performance. Of course, they are hav *iu-_ fun. but unit members sacrifice plenty for tin.- war effort. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN A Worm's Eye View . . Hello , Gabriel — Last week, Gabriel, the big bully, stuck his needle right into our little green insides. And in return, we’re gonna deflate one or two of those humps on his camel’s back i£ we can. Look here, Gabriel Angel, you babbled on last week about brooks and sunshine vs. hodge podge timetables and “nooks and crannies” where kids will be “workin’ their way through college.” We agree about the timetables. We took a look yesterday, and we think, a lot of people ought to pass ten cents over the registrar’s desk and grab one before they come back to register May 18. It will spoil their vacations, but that would be preferable to the shock they’re gonna get when they return if they don’t buy a timetable now. ■But about these “nooks and crannies.” We’re not talking about the people who work in rest aurants. (Not everyone has time for the great out-of-doors.i But we do mean the people who sit in these nooks and crannies surrounded by cigarette smoke, coffee, and bull. We mean the chronic Ifridge players, the activities hounds, and the “key-men” of the campus. We know that men enrolled in science courses aren’t gonna have time for the sunshine. They never do anyway; and besides, they usually get deferments. But the ones who are sure to be drafted could substitute some of the time they spend on extra-curricular activities for the brooks and sunshine. 'The Players could give themselves a breathing space between shows; the Thespians -could cut out an hour from their performances before rehear sals start keeping them up all night instead of waiting, until the Friday night show is over; Panhellenic Council could make a motion that sororities meet only once every two weeks in stead of once a week; and some of the honoraries, if they must entertain, could have picnics instead of coffee hours and teas. ' If the American public can sacrifice automo biles to save tin and rubber, Penn State students can sacrifice extra-curricular activities to save energy. A soldier’s health is just as important as his gun, Gabriel Angel. But don’t you think we’ve harped on this thing long enough, It’s hard on little worms', so quick, Gabriel, the needle! Speaking Of Summer Last week a facetious young woman told the editor that to save on needed materials this Sum mer, she thought everyone ought to go 'bare footed. This reminded us of a remark a student once made, “The only/thing a good night’s sleep won’t cure is athletes foot.” And we pictured the stu dent body lined up from the city limits to the Dispensary, simultaneously scratching one foot and then the -other. Sure, there’s a priority on r.ubbhr, but toe nail cleaners are going to be hard to get, too, to say. nothing of soap and water and soothing salves Speaking of the Summer semester (which is what we’re always doing), we hope the Adminis tration has purchased themselves a few screens for the windows of our buildings. It’s no fun for the kiddies and profs to sit in a hot class room, sticking to their seats, playing talg with flies, and squashing mosquitoes on their necks. It’s even worse to get the hair caught in one of those sticky things that hang from ceilings to catch flies on. We know a school teacher who came up here last Summer to attend College and she said, “Oh, it’s a lovely little town, but my Gawd, the bugs!” It’s bad enough not to have fans to keep the professors cool and collected, without watching them skip around the- classi'ooms with fly swat ters.
