No Confusion Here
' Last Wednesday night State College and Penn
(State “blacked out” in the first Actual test cov
ering both the campus and the town. “Unusually
.successful” was the verdict of trained officials
who were well pleased with the hour of total
Shading.
.. 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

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 , . . Jean
Babcock, last year’s WSGA prexy and valedictor
ian, will become Mrs. Bob Hasek (and daughter
in-law of the econ prof) on August 29 . . . Alpha
‘Chi Helen Chiappy and Phi Psi Jack Schatz will
go under the name of Schatz after a week from
Saturday . . . SPE’s bubble dancer, Milt Kuhn,
took vows with another Alpha Chi, Elsie Rooth.
in.it, No Coffee?
Orte busy little coed called all the fraternities
on Saturday to invite two representatives to a
coffee hour at the Kappa house af 6:30 p. m. Sun
day. 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.
Of Lesser Importance
•Not quite up to mdtrimonial par comes this
bit about the engagement of Delta Gam Peggy
Diener to “Smoky” Stover, an SAE of two years
ago . . . Mary Catherine of Allentown got the
proverbial “shaft” as Dave Sharp's Phi Delt
jewelry fo.und its place on Kappa Ruth Moore
, . , Phi Ep A 1 Moses and his wife arrived in town
over the weekend . . . Recently married Dot Ma
gor and Ensign Dade Kempner ’4l are now living
in San Diego . . . Reports from the Kappa, hang
out have it that a lovely blond transfer from
Allegheny will boost the stock of KKG feminine
pulchritude this semester. Her name?—Esther
Campbell.
