Joe Goes To College
So, Joe decided to go to college.
Turn back several years to the Fall of 1939
when the present senior class was about to launch
its "higher" education. 'At that time, war clouds
were threatening on the European front, but an
immediate war in whiCh America would become
involved did not appear in the logical plans
of the incoming Class of 1943.
Slowly, the American way or living has chang
ed since that Fall of 1939, and strangely enough,
the turnover has been so gradual that many sen
iors today do not realize just how tremendous
the change has been.
For example, Joe Frosh of the Class of '43 came
to Penn State in 1939 armed with a typical bud
get possessed by the average student who at
• tends one of the nation's Land Grant .Colleges.
:But after three 'years, Joe is beginning to find
that his budget money does not stretch as far as
it dici in 1939. In fact, the prices of 28 basic
Qommodities have increased 67 per cent during
The three years .that Joe has been at Penn State.
In a letter from hom.e, Jqe learns that the
"folks" are having their prdblems also. Not .only
have taxes hit new high levels, but also •the .cost
of living has jumped 15 per cent above the pre
war level.
But there is a bright side of the ledger. Un
employment has dropped to a low point and
wages have sky-rocketed in Joe's home-town in
dustrial area. In the nation, in April, 1940, there
•vvere nearly 9 million unemployed persons com
pared with 6,600,000 in 1941, and 3 million in
.April, 1942.
Joe has also learned that the average weekly
earnings in the manufacturing plant where his
father works has increased from $24.53 in August,
1939, to $36.15 in 1942—which in percentage form
is an increase of 47.4,
To Joe, this may sound like just so many fig
ures, but.. underneath it all, he realizes now that
i.imes have changed, even if it' has required a
:kw figures to get across the facts.
International Flag Day
When President Roosevelt proclaimed June 14
as Flag Day, he did not limit .the occasion to this
;nation; but instead, he extended it to include the
26 United Nations. This United Nations idea is
an outgrowth of the Atlantic Charter signed by
the President and Churchill on August 14, 1941.
The Charter contained eight points which, in
substance, set forth tfhese four objectives:
1. Abandonment of force, aggression and ter
ritorial aggrandizement by all nations.
2. Self-determination of peoples regarding
their own form of government.
3. Equal access for all peoples to raw mater
ials; full economic collaboration and freedom of
the seas
4. Freedom from want and from fear for
'very human being.
Penn State Clubbers—
Congratulations on your belated decision to put
die dating bureau on an All-College basis. The
decision, close as it was, definitely put the damp

members felt slightly miffed because they had to

TWA's Marge Magargel, in a story published in
Wednesday's Collegian.
By cooperating with the IWA on the idea, you'll
*hot only ensure the success of the dating bureau,
but will receive far more credit for the unselfish
gesture from the students than you possibly could
'Wive otherwise.

like State College, with its many
bicycles is this parking lot at a
California defense plant where
workers travel to their jobs on
their two-wheeled vehicles. The
parking lot, filled with the work

Governnlient
May Give Aid
By JAY RICHTER
ACP Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON (ACP) If
you've completed two years of col
lege work in one of six majors im
portant to prosecution of the war,
you may soon be able to borrow up
to $5OO a year from the govern
ment to continue your education.
A bill now being considered by
the Appropriations Committee of
the House provides $10,000,000 for
such plans to students, majoring in
physics, chemistry, engineering,
medicine (including .veterinary),
dentistry and pharmacy. The bill
provides authority for Manpower
Commissioner Paul V. McNutt to
make loans available to students
in other,majors should be choose
to do so.
The legislation is part of the
general effort afoot in Washington
to solve the problem of serious
shortages in many technical and
professional fields. Those accept
ing loans must take a job for
which they have been trained upon
graduation. Or at least a job
which has the approval of McNutt.
Which definitely stamps the legis
lation "war bill."

Hiya Frosh! Since everyone has been handing
out advice, we'll put in our . two cents worth.
First, believe only half of what you hear and try
to forget what.you'see. Sedorfd, the Liberal Arts'
School is not the. dump heap for thenther schools.
it's just a dull bulb among a bunch of high-pow
ered beaCons. Third, learn to study bedanse 'the
registrar's 'grade, sheets' are quite permanent and
may haunt you 'later on. Alright, copy boy, hand
me those proofs. Let's go to press! Flash!
Send A Letter To:
Dean Ray—What 'is going to be done about the
shorts situation? The weather is muggier, and
we are wondering.. May coeds wear shorts to
class? All those in favor say aye. The eyes have
it (3,000 pairs of them).
Captain Dennis = lt is no longer safe to stroll
on campus. Students are being blitzkrieged by
maniacal cyclists bent on destruction. The Malt
is their happy hunting ground. Such vicious
slaughter MUST BE STOPPED!
Colonel Ardery- - -Your ROTC boys are melting
away in their heavy shirts. Couldn't they be al
lowed to Wear uniform white shirts during the
intense heat? In military schools, where uniform
requirements are more strict, white shirts are
furnished by the student and accepted as part of
the standard uniform. Such a plan could be es
tablished here.
Short Yell . . . Sigma Nu ! !
Rumors have it that the White Stars of Sigma
Nu are using S. S. rushing tactics that would put
Gestapo Chief Himmler to shame as a rank ama
teur. One story goes: Fourteen rusliees enter
Sigma Nu house ... doors are cloned . , anxious
father of frosh can't gain entrance . telephone
is busy next day-14 new pledges.
Another story: Bewildered frbah bumps into
Sigma Nu rushers at Greyhound Post House . . .
"Are you bays from ATO?" fragh asks . . . "Yes,"
comes reply . . fyosh pledges . . next day be
reads in Collegian he joined Sigma Nu:
Alright boys, sue .us :for libel. See if we .care.
Better watch out for repercussions, though. The
other fraternities are pulenty sore. '
Gossip And sttVf
'SO the 'Cub thinks we're a Stupe for libeling
two fisigmakappas who are determined not to
relinquish their pins. W-e-1-1, so we're a Stupe.
Operator 68 1 / 2 will hear of this:
J,ine Kimick now has a sparkler in addition to
a DU pin from Jim Vosters, one of this Rag's
business boys , . George Pittinger bestowed his
Delta Chi jewelry upon AOPi Ruthie Storer. In
cidentally, frosh, a pinning is NOT a wrestling
term; it is date insurance, or should we say as
surance.

aisled, on Memorial Day with AOPi's Jane Foose.
A certain Mac Hall waiter would like to wring
the neck of a frosh whose first name is Florence.
Last Monday night she asked him'•for an orange
because she wasn't eating breakfast the following
morning. He politely ignored her request,,but
she insisted. Rest.dt—he told the hostess; she,
explained; and Florence fresh did not get- her
orange. Moral: When •in Rome, don't act like
'Mussolini:
How much odds will you give us that either
Charlie Spiyak or Guy - 4ornbardo (the. King of
Corn) will play for Soph Hop. Don't ask us

Sally's Men Make Good
Last Thursday night an innocent Sally's Sand
wich Salesman wandered into the Miles Street
Dorm and immediately
_,proceeded to sell his
wares—ON THE SECOND FLOOR. The coeds
took it in their stride, and, after he had sold his
sandwiches, they told him that it was unethical
to go
. above the first floor. Unethical, they call
it!
The Kappas Are Unfair
Dan DeMarino, air raid warden for Sector-13,
will have to appoint a new messenger for the
Kappa manse, comes the next blackout. Frankie
;Feinberg resigned. He sat on the Kappa porch
one whole hour during the last blackout, and not
a damn thing happened. Thirty Kappas giggled
inside, and not one invited Frankie in for tea:
Where's your "Hello Spirit" girls?
