Deeply significant, however, is the fact that other cities and towns have not all been success ful in their first attempts .at blackout drill. Secret of th/e local efficiency lies in the long range plan ning and training typical of both borough and College officials. Adequate patrolling of streets and buildings by volunteers cogniza'nt of their responsibilities con tributed much to orderly compliance with the onnounded practice. Plat society members and College staff members are to be commended and thanked for their efficient management of the 'test. Not to be overlooked, however, is the wide spread publicity which prepared the student and civilian population for the long-awaited signal whistles. If we can forsee other war-time (exigencies as well, we can feel certain that we are prepared for the doubtful future. There is no confusion here. Anything Goes Some doleful and seemingly capable commen tators on the contemporary campus scene wag ged their heads glumly two weeks ago and sigh ed: '“Third. semester? Anything’ll go. 'S crying shame. Tsk. Tsk.” The student body has shaken its collective head these past tew days and sat back .to cautiously examine the amazing situation of.a large and beautiful campus peopled entirely by upper classmen, and not too many of them, by normal standards. i The administration has held ■ its breath while most of the student body finally did get to Rec reation Hall to shuffle the complicated forms and say “I do” to an incredibly accelerated education al program, which in some cases finds a fifteen week course being given in as many days. We refuse to shake our heads; we’ll not be glum; and we’ll use our breath to say: “Third se mester? Anything’ll go—if you make it go.” It doesn’t belong to anyone else, this third Se mester. If you’re a student, you registered for .it. If you’re a faculty member, you’re teaching it. If you’re an administrator, you’re responsible for it. Anything goes—if you make it go. It’s Up To You (Continued from Page One) Without 'a daily paper, the Administration is greatly hampered in making important .an nouncements concerning emergency war-time measures. Without a daily paper, campus activities and College business will be slowed down —,and at a time when a speed-up is of utmost importande. The Daily Collegian is not patting itself on the brick. It is only facing the facts. Then, how can a daily paper be maintained? There ai J e several solutions. First of all, the College could advance an appropriation to in wire the financial success of the paper. But, The Collegian realizes that the College is having plenty of trouble in meeting its own budget, be cause of the extra burden caused by the Summer semester. The second, and most logical solution, is based on increased circulation. If students, faculty, and townspeople feel that! there is a definite nee;j for a daily paper, they will support it by er,ter •iiig their subscription. It is only by this means L__'_Pnul I.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN The Campuseer Make lPith The Music Peace has reigned too long in oiir little Centre County l'etreat, and we intend to stir up some dust by advocating that the department of music renew their concert series for the Summer se- mester. These Sunday afternoons can be boring for a liberal artist with an “A”, gps ration card, and a little musical diversion will be well re ceived. The possibilities of outdoor concerts shoulct be-considered also. The Lust Mile Wedding news poured thick and fast into Campy’s clutches over the weekend , . .

Came 6:30 p. m. and a'll the representatives Were there—but the Kappas weren’t. In fact, there wasn’t even any coffee. Profession a / Prattle And then we heard in class of a fellow who said, “If all the college professors -in this country were laid end to end, it would be a good thing . . . Another prof told us it didn’t .bother him if students look at their clocks regulstfrly during 'the class hour, 'but it really irked him .when they look disgustedly at the /timepieces and started shaking them.
