'Let's get rid of it, Now it stands idly rusting when it could be dealing death. Instead it mars a cam ,pus beautiful. • • The War Department has specificially asked that coninfunities contribute obsolete . military equipment from court house lawns, public Parks, tC., to relieve scrap shortages. It's about time that we got rid of the atrocious monstrosity or , monstrous atrocity that stands in front of the Armory. • Weapons of "definite historical significance" are to be spared the banishment to the junk pile but to the best of our knowledge there is no . deep 'historical significance" attached to the German howitzer that Stand's discolored and blistered on the front campus. If the Army is willing to round, up old guns, mortars and vehicles for salvage we can well fol low their action by doing ourselves the favor of getting rid of the old eye-sore.. As• a relic of the past war it holds little or no interest for us now. There will be newer and more interesting relics return from World War II but it will take a lot of 'these old scrap wagons 'to help us get them. ' There is just enough time between now and Saturday. of :Victory Weekend for the proper authorities to make the necessary arrangement's for an elaborate ceremony of junking the old can non as part of the Weekend program. Let's get :rid of it then. There could be no better time. Home - Front General While many students and faculty at Penn State :talk of National Defense, V for Victory, and the. war effort; while a lot more are actively giving Their aid in the national emergency, and while still others have discovered processes of vital importance, there is one man on campus who is outstanding in his contribution to the nation's struggle. , We refer to Dean Frank C. Whitmore, of the tSchool of Chemistry and Physics, who has been named one of 12 American chemists to advise the War Production Board. on technical processes re_ ;fated to the war effort. This is not the first time the noted chemist has been called upon for his advice on chemical de- Nelopments. Anyone who has tried to make an appointment with him is familiar with the reply, -"Sorry, but you'll have. to wait until next week. He's doing government work in Washington." 'Other times he's been in Syracuse, Philadelphia and other defense centers. After waiting for an interview last year, a Col legian reporter was given a vague idea of Penn State's war research work here. Most definite in formation obtainable was that experiments were being made With explosive gas. Further ques tioning revealed that the Dean never retires until dfler midnight, then gets up in the early morn ing to record instructions to his secretary over a dictaphone near his bedroom. Consequently, we want to commend the man who is proving such a valuable asset to Uncle .. 4 'om in his effort to defeat the Axis. We're proud at his contribution, as well as faculty research i'inclings. Ail vie can say is "thank you" and dig 'jn little hilr,ler i . .iiirSeiVeS for Victory. ._Larry T. Chervenall .____Richard B.

Rebuke In Revenge • In answer to the poetic rebuke they received in one of Collegian's columns recently; the Sum mer session students penned a wicked rebuttal and submitted it for publication; in' which they called coeds everything up to and including the kitchen sink. Sorry girls, we can't print any thing unless you sign it, much as we'd like to. —CAMPY In Other Colleges GENEVA, N.Y.—(ACP)—Students at Hobart College apparently have reached the conclusion that the most effective immediate contribution they can make to the war effort is to do a better job on their studies than ever before. According to results just announced by Dean Walter H. Durfee, student averages for the term just concluded are higher -than ever before and show a marked improvement over grades earned by the same students for the first term of last year, that is, before Pearl Harbor. Comparison of all, college standings for the first term of last year with other first term standings in recent years indicates that the student body is above average iri scholastip ability, but not enough so to justify the new records set. Some specific stimulus, such as a Pearl Harbor, apparently was needed.
