One of the reasons given by College authorities ,for refusing admission of American students of Japanese parentage is that they fear campus at titude 'toward the West Coast transfers would be I.latagonistic. Success of the petition campaign now being conducted (by . a volunteer committee ,would prove that their fear is ungrounded. A successful, petition campaign would show that Penn State students are not antagonistic to the cdmission of any of their fellow Americans' be cause of "race, color, or creed." It would mean that:the student body is willing to accept Americans of Japanese parentage with the' same friendliness that it has accepted citizen i3tudents of German and Italian parentage. A successful petition campaign would prove that our belief in democratic principles is sin cere—that we are-not Willing to lose the war be fore we have a chance to win it. Help put that petition campaign over the top Sign up for democracy. More Rationing WITH EASTERN gas rationing in full swing at present, there has been some question as to whether this limiting of gasoline is as necessary as the. federal government believes it to be. Prob ably the real reason behind gas rationing is the conservation of tires—abut in this discussion, one person's opinion will carry just as much weight as neighbor's. The disclosure that there is an increase in the sugar supply has proved a source •of embarrass ment to the Office of Price Administration, be cause it was estimated that a shortage would de velop, while in truth, warehouses are bulging and :refineries . are ceasing operations. The sugar situation has even progressed to the tixtent that one OPA official has considered the possibility of having the nation's housewives store a year's supply in advance; however, the proposal has not meet with much approval from ii is colleague's. Now there may not be much connection be tween sugar and gasoline, except that both are being rationed, and in both cases, the necessity of such rationing is not as evident as the govern ment would like it to be. Points To Success SOPH HOP, which in past years has gained a reputation for being financially unsuccessful, will undoubtedly break over into the black side of the ledger tonight. The dance will mark the first big weekend of 'Penn State's first Summer semester—and with this array of firsts, it may be a safe conclusion to ody . that Soph Hop will not only make money but will also serve as a much-needed break in the grind of Summer •studies. But in the midst of preparing for a gala week end, don't forget to stop around at Student Union and pick up a defense stamp corsage, Which will be the official wear at tonight's dance. Last year's Senior Ball realized a profit of almost $l,OOO from file sale of stamp corsages, and now that America leas becoMe more war-conscious, there is a strong possibility that a new record will be set tonight, aa far as stamp corsage sales are concerned. ____Larry T.

C THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Through The '7l f)l4 Needle's Eye We were riding around in heaven on our cam el's hump the other day when we came across Jane. Jane's in her senior year at Penn State now. You probably don't know much .about her because she isn't the sort of person who attracts people like Campy or The Cub. She attracted us, though, because we're not used to finding Penn State students in heairen. "I'm reading 'Collegian," she said, when we. ask ed her what she was doing there. "My name's never in it, but I read it. It says here that Le high University is going to send two representa tives to the College to discuss the problem, 'What Policy Shall the Allied 'Nations Adopt To ward the Axis Powers at .the End of the War?' " "Well," we said. "Well, I dunno. Maybe it. doesn't make much difference what they debate about around here, but I think they ought to make sure that we're really going to Wirr this war before they try to' de cide how they're going io treat the Axis after wards. I read in a paper somewhere that Ameri cans were pretty smug and complacent about this thing and that they ought to get on the ball. ' It the war were even half over, it'd be different; but it isn't. It's just- beginning." "Are you on the ball?" we asked. "I guess not," she grinned, "but I will be. You see, I just celebrated my own private Independ ence Day last week. I was 21 years old on the Fourth of July. It wasn't much of a celebration. All I did was go to the town carnival and parade, and I didn't feel very unusual, either, even'though I was 21 on the Fourth of July and we're in a war. But I decided to get myself a defense job after I graduate." "What are you majoring in?" "Education. Sorta futile right now, I suppose, but I don't feel futile." "In any activities?" we asked. "Not so many. I belong to an honorary, and I'm a senior sponsor for Mortar Board. It's in teresting to talk to the freshman coeds and tell them what Mortar Board told me to tell them. But when I do tell them, they. just sit there. I guess they know more than I do about things. Makes me feel a little . silly." That's what Jane said when we met her in heaven the other day. We thought you might be interested. We remember one time when Jane was admonishing a guy for making mean cracks about someone she knew. The guy said, "Sorry. But I'm just blunt." "Yeah," said Jane. "Not sharp, blunt." —GABRIEL Interest In Russian Rises Russia's alliance in the United Nation's fight for freedom has aroused the interest of Penn Stat- ers in Russian customs, history, and in the Russian language it self. Students, as - well as faculty members, have already shown their interest in the Russian lang uage, for enrollment in such classes has ipereased about 5Q per cent over that of previous semes ters. Rev. Konstantine Auroroy, pas tor of the Russian Qrthodo3s Church in Philipsburg, is instruc tor of , the Russian-Minded stu dents. He received his education in a 'Moscow seminary and, more recently, in several American uni versities. Interest in the Russian language has grown considerably through out the United States, according to Rev. Aurorov. Gpvernment agen cies, as well as other institutions, have recognized the need of con ducting such courses. Following Penn State's lead, Cornell University, in cooperation with the American Council of Learned Societies, will conduct in tensive elementary and advanced Russian courses. Training in the language of the Cossacks is part of a nation-wide »rogram to meet the pressing demands of the arm ed services and government agen cies. The courses, like those being conducted at Penn State, will aid in furnishing emPloyees for mili tary intelligence, censorship, and decoding agencies. •\ The First Marines Aeronautical Company was sent •to the Azores in IslB to keep 'German subma rines a safe distance from Amer ican transports.
