Keetauvei Graduate Counselor Wednesday, June 10, 1942 An Explanation To PSCA This is not an apology for the blast against the II ) SCA that appeared in "We, the Women" in yes terday's Daily Collegian: Instead, it is an ex planation. We realite that a Sunday night mass meeting is not the proper plaCe for a riotous pep rally. We further realize • that religion is a very neces 13ary part of any College education, and that every freshman should have the opportunity to meet the heads of various churches. We are riot attacking the PSCA with regard to the type of 'orientation whith that . organization reels should be directed at freShMen during the SirSt clittile of weeks in college. .. )ut we do maintain that the orientation could have been handied'more wisely—and the major ity of the student body will back us in that. con viction. First of all, the Sunday night mass meeting Was too long and included too much Material. Any frosh . will adinit that his head was swimming after the one and one-half hour session. The necessary facts about scheduling and registration were essential, but much of the other material could have been omitted and included in a mass 2neeting later this week or at Sunday Chapel. Needles And Pens Patriotic coeds with enthusiasm and a little lenacity may now drop their knitting needles and pick up a real war weapon—the drafting pen. These may be times of uncertainty and tears but they are also times of opportunity. Most accent and revolutionary on this campus is the :iollowing opportunity which is available to pro gressive students with three years of successful college training. Two riew defense courses will be offered by the School of Engineering beginning July 1. These are designed especially for students enrolled in courses other than engineering. This fact is re volutionary in itself. Specifically,, the courses will be iri ship layout arid drafting and in air plane detailing and drafting. Women students with ldadership and integrity sire especially desired as enrollees. Capable wo inert are needed to replace drafted men in vital defense industries. We have heard numerous co eds in the past few months wringing their hands and wailing, "Oh, if we could only do something in the war effort; if I could only help." Okay, girls, roll up your knitting, cut out a few dates during the week and start producing. The course on airplane drafting is especially attractive to coeds since the requirements are not too tough. Eight hours a week for 25 weeks is not 'too much Lo ask for such valuable training which is given tuition free. Most coeds could adapt their sche dules easily by dropping some useless and time 'wasting activities. If the men are going to keep •them flying and floating it is proper for the wo linen to 'help build them. However, don't misunderstand us. This course is n't restricted to women; men in all the curricula . - ire eligible if they possess the fundamental. re quirements. It is recognized that these courses :ire not substituting for a 4-year college education 'out they are valuable as opportunities to acquire tip ocific technical knowledge when and where it is most needed. _Louis H.

Letters To The Editor,— Questions Code Dear Editor Last week your paper carried the story of the election commit tee's action in removing all class officers who did not return for the Summer semester. I wish to make a sincere if fu tile protest against such high handed action through your Col umns. A member of the elections committee assures me that the ac tion will be approved without a murmur by All-College Cabinet, and for that reason I feel it would be a waste of time, to appeal to that group for an explanation. In the first place, I and a lot of other students would like to knew who delegated this power to the elections committee? CertainlY 'the constitution and the elections code do not! • The chairman of the elections committee announces that some thing must be done about the ab sentee class officer who mistePre sented his intentions about attend ing the Summer semester in order to attain that office. The commit tee follows up by running out of office several duly elected officers who found it necessary to drop out of College for the Summer because of financial difficulties. They were the officers we, the students,. elected. • In my opinion that's reaching rather far down in the political beg for an excuse, and what an ex cuse! The whole affair has a very un savory smell, and sells Penn State's model form of student democratic self-government rath er short, very short in the opinion of May of her students. ._ How can the committee poSsibly justify itself in this case When it permitted'l3aird to resume his post as Alf-Vollege president last Van? This question is distabitig quite a few Penn State students who voted in the last All-College elec tion. Ihre ask All College Cabinet, the elections committee, and the rest of the gang, "how come?"

V.VERYBODY'S DOIN' IT ... Everyone has been talking to the freshmen lately (except sorority women, who are indulging in one of their welcome "silent periods").. This is because it's the first week of the freshmen's Penh State careers. After the first week has sirnthered down, everyone • will shut up (except the sorority women). At least there's no harsh in pretending that everyone Will stint up. So, just to be conventional and live up to our Penh State "traditions" and stuff like that, we're gonna talk to the freshmen, too. WiAle EMOtittlivr • WE? • • • Hello, Frosh. Our naine•is Ferdy and We're a measuring worm. : We've been 'measuring things On this carhpus since before the seniors started growing up. That doesn't mean that we've seen inuch because we're pretty small and we can get only a tiny worm's eye view of things. But here's what we've seen that we'd like to tell you about. You're gonna get inches of advice from everyone you meet up here, and we just wanta tell you that upperclassmen can usually tell you What not to do, but that they shouldn't be expected to tell you what you should do. BUTTOt ONE EAR, FROSH . . . If you listen to them too much, you'll probably get involved in a lot of things that yoU'd be better off without. They'll invite you to coffee hours when you ought-to be studying and ask you to join so many honoraries and other organizations that, if you're hot afraid to be impolite occasion ally, you'll spend, half your college career taking vows and taking vows and taking vows. We realize that we're defeating our oWn pur pose by advising yeti not to take too much advice, but we've gotta liVe up to these customs and con ventions around here or our editor Will inch us right out of this column. AND OPEN YOUR VIES ... We just want you to know that we think you!re pretty Mutt and .can make up your own minds about things. We want you to have a lot of fun, but we hope you'll space it out •So 'that 'your futi doesn't stop when . you wake up some -morning and look at your grade sheets. It's these grade sheets that cause frustrations and psychological something or others, unless you've been smart enough to keep from taking too many vows. Here's one you may take from us, little worm that we are: "We'll stick to the , idea that work is the universal cure-all." WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, :1042 • -FERDY
