Hirshbeig Tuesday, June 2, 1942 Times Have Changed To show how things have changed since the ColJegian became a daily paper two years ago, we must only take a quick glance at Page One of the introductory issue in September, 1940. . According to ,the powers in charge at that time, .Penn State was just slightly worried about the draft, jgd stressing this, point, the Collegian car ried the following headline in the upper right hand part of the first page: “Draft To Take As Few As 14 Students.” Yictory Weekend After reading the editorial, “Something in the Wind,” which appeared in the Collegian last week, several students got the impression that the gala weekend would simply be a jazzed-up .name for Soph Hop. This impression was entirely incorrect. We were not attempting to build up a mysterious setting for Victory Weekend by omitting specific facts and dates. Instead, it is to be understood that the weekend plans are still in the embryo .stage, and as yet nothing is clearly definite. How ever, tentative plans do call for attractions which will surpass anything seen along recreation and social lines at Penn State. As for the present, just keep the Victory Week end in mind—and watch its plans and attractions Cream Of The Crop Although there will'be only a little more than 550 freshman enrollees for the Summer semester, the Administration points out that incoming first year students ere better fitted scholastically than any other freshman class in the history of Penn i3tate. In one sense, such a statement may sound like •the highest form of flattery—'Hut in the correct sense, it is a challenge. This Summer the frosh will have to complete the same amount of work in 12 weeks as past classes did in 16 weeks. And to top it off, July weather does get hot. Nittany Lion Wonder “Barney Ewell bowed out of the Intercollegiate A.A.A.A. track and field pictui’e at Triborough Stadium on Saturday, leaving in his wake a few imperishable marks to awe future generations. The Nittany Lion wonder scored the first three time triple in the 66-year history of the meet as :ue won the 100, the 220, aind the broad jump for ihe third year in a row.” 1 This commendation, as written by Arthur Daley of the New York Times, sums up in a few words what American sports writers and fans think of .'Penn State’s greatest track star, Barney Ewell. Not only was Saturday’s triumph a great per sonal achievement on the part of Ewell, but it also smothered all doubt regarding Penn State’s claim to the IC4-A indoor meet last Winter. In fact, this marks the first time in IC4-A history that one college has won both the indoor and out door title in the same vear. However, with war making definite inroads vm college athletics, Penn State may wait a few decades before it can again repeat the success 'that was enjoyed in the sports realm during the ■past year. Ewell’s outstanding triumphs this Spring have served as a fitting climax to what has undoubtedly been the greatest year in Penn State’s athletic history. In football, basketball, ■soccer, gymnastics, and track the Nittany Blue and White has ranked with the best in the nation. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Campuseer Opinionated News Always looking for an opportunity to editorial ize in the news, the daily slaves of this rag slap‘- ped together the following headline, exhibited in one of last week’s issues: RIDENOUR APPOINTED TRIBUNAL HEAD; MEMORIAL SERVICES SET FOR FRIDAY After the Collegian writers expressed their grief so vividly Campy took it upon himself to investigate. We picked up the last year when Red Rumsey and Tom Heidecker were the junior members on Student Tribunal. At the end of the year, Heidecker was elected chairman. But Heidecker left for the army this semester and Charlie Ridenour was appointed chairman. So Campy was led to believe that Rumsey got the shaft when Heidecker was caught in the dra'ft. The latest tip has it that Tribunal will elect its own chairman at a meeting tonight . . . Advice To The Frosh Since this is the freshman issue, we will dedi cate the remainder of this epistle to the incoming class—may it be big and beauteous. Before all the advisors begin advising, fraternities start fraternizing, and everyone begins explaining how to get through college with the least amount of work, Campy will list a few simple lessons on how to become what is euphemistically called a campus luminary, commonly called a big shot, BMOC, and other times called any uncompli mentary name you can think of. 1. Become a politician. All you need do is practice smiling in the mirror and saying “Hello.” Buy lots of 'beer and become an habitue of the 'Corner Room Emd Rathskeller.. You’ll end up being appointed to some committee that never meets except to get its picture taken for LaVie. 2. Go out for a managership. On this campus, most students consider managers more important than athletes. 3. Become, an apple-polisher. This does not necessitate taking an agriculture course. A few preliminary speech courses will help the cause. 4. Join a fraternity.J, This will cojnsist of spending most of your freshman year waxing floors, emptying ash cans, and stooging for-upper classmen. Your sophomore year you are busy riding the new freshmen. Your junior year you catch up on your class work and spend your spare time borrowing back your neckties which your fraternity brothers borrowed from you your freshman year. Then, your senior year, you’re a big shot. Don’t bother to follow our advice too closely. After all, look where we ended up. PARENTS...

Kurtz ’43 issued a call last night to all independent men who are inter ested in joining the IMA to report at a meeting in-305 Old Main Wed nesday at 7 p. m. A new policy and form of organization will 'be the main topic for discussion. Kurtz said that this year the IMA hopes to develop-some work along lines new to the association. •Up to the present, he said, most of the IMA activities have been more or less on the social side, and that he thinks the time has come to branch out and further the in terests of the independent man. “The hope of he IMA is to do in t its field what the IF-C does for the fraternity man,” Kurtz said “With the drop in enrollment and the fewer people in individual units,” Kurtz pointed out “the peed for unity on the part of the independent man, if he is to de rive full benefit from his years in college, will be even greater.” First activity planned for the semester by the IM'A is a picnic at 3 p. m. next Sunday in Hort Woods in conjunction with the IWA. Further details will be re leased later. Greeters Club Elects Charles E.
