More Tires For U. S.
Rationing may appear to be a second-rate topic
idf interest in State College, chiefly because. this
community has come to be regarded as a peace
'Sul haven that is leading a protected existence
quite remote from the war industries in the east
,orn and western parts of Pennsylvania.
Whether the above conception of Penn State is
correct, is not for us to decide; but we do suspect
that local students and townspeople are not as
'war-conscious as the average person living in the
:nation's booming industrial areas. For this lat
ter group, the question of rationing has assumed
fa Position of vital importance, especially to the
man and woman who depends upon an automobile
'to carry them to and from their jobs.
Although gasoline rationing has been tightened
on the Eastern seabord, the far more important
question concerns tire rationing. By the end of
0:42, the tire shortage will begin to play extensive
(havoc with the average American's economic life,
unless the government intervenes with some form
of unforeseen aid.
To
.say that the. rubber Industry will be able to
twpply sufficient tires for 75 per cent of the nor
mal pre-war mileage would sound like a fan
tastic pipe dream that has invaded the imagina
tion of some down-hearted individual who used
make a living by selling automobile tires. But
strangely enough, there 'is 'some reason for mak
ng such a statement.
On the eve of their annual exhibition in Wash
ington, D. C.,•the rubber industries of the nation
Piave informed the federal government that tires
can be manufactured to meet 75 per cent of the
lore-war mileage, if the government agrees to do
two things.
First of all, the government must give the rub
,ber industry an allotment 01 10,000 tons of the
!nation's scrap rubber, in addition to turning over
3,000 tons of natural crude rubber.
Not only will the, rubber industries present
those facts along with their usual exhibition, but
they will also show that it is their belief that
ithere is no direct need for the drastic program of
rationing that is in force at present.
These facts as presented by the nation's rubber
concerns might have carried some extra influence
in the direction of the Administration, for shortly
after the findings were intimated, Donald Nelson,
+chairman of the War Production Board, told a
Senate Agricultural sub-committee "that by 1944
The United States would be able to supply rubber
for all essential military and civilian uses of the
United Nations."

Lest We Forget
'With Victory Weekend only a little more than
a week away, Penn State is completing final pre
parations for the greatest social extravaganza in
the history of the College. The. affair is not re
,stricted to local interest either, for V-Weekend
;has already hit the public eye throughout Penn
oylvania as well as several adjoining states.
lßut, "lest we forget," Victory Weekend is not
•lo be regarded as one big mad house of fun for
five thousand study-worn students. The purpose
;behind the event is more commendable than any
other feature of the entire weekend. For every
ticket you purchase, you will make an investment
•luward financially rehabilitating the life of some
wife, son, or daughter of an Army man who has
sacrificed the supreme, his life, so that his family
can continue to enjoy everything that has made
(America what it is today.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Once upon a time, dear readers, there was a
rag. This rag was, published by coeds and fin
anced generously by women's organizations.
Pretty soon a bomb was dropped in Pearl 'Harbor
and the repercussion jangled clear into tranquil
State" College. Things began needing justifica
tion and so the rag, too, had to be justified.
Forty coeds worked on the rag . . . they got a
kick out of it ... and lots of people weren't afraid
to say they read a little column called Dormouse.
But Dormouse got its tail caught in the trap of
justification. And the poor mouse was junked.
It seems everything was democratic about
catching the mouse. Everyone appeared to vote
against it. In memorium to the rag we dedicate
- the following lines:
Hail Resurrection
My name was Co-Edition
I circulated high,
But the word justification
Caught me on the sly.
People said I was no good
That I'll guarantee,
For better coedship I stood
And try to make me . die.
Pudding'. Proof
It happened shortly before Greek gals relaxed
on Sunday. A frosh couldn't decide which house
to bless with her presence. Her friends were go
ing Kappa . . . that made them prejudiced . . .
she searched among the grey matter in her nog
gin for an unbiased out. She flipped a coin and
called tails . . . she went ZTA.
Browsing About
No paper shortage at the Kappa Sig house.
False alarms had gossip-gullibles believing Bean
ie Siebert and Bob Brooks pinned. But further
proof of the falsity was the Beanie-Gammon duo
Cornering. Dotty Brunner arid Barney Plesser
are ring-hunting. Kay 'Hibbard, Alphachi, and
Jimmy Hoag, deltachi, will be Victory-Weekend
ing. Ditto Mary AnaStas and Bob Huntsicker,
Molly ' , Gilbert and Bill Lutz, SPE, and Betty Ly
man, Theta, and Charley Good, Phikappasigma.
Sis Cloud says it's the real thing with Bill Land
enfeld. Larry Driever ensigned back to see wife
to-be :Frankie Lieby.

Plan Change
-THE CUB
in Recruiting
(Continued from Page One)
draft - age- students, in addition •to
creating the central publicity com
mittee, would be the reservation of
a central headquarters, possibly
in Old Main, where students could
obtain any kind of information
they might wish concerning the
various military programs.
This idea was introduced by
Prof. -Robert - E. Galbraith, who
used it in his work for the Army
Air Force. Galbraith turned his
office into an information center,
and not only obtained more appli
cants for the Air Force than any
other recruiting unit on campus,
but counseled scores of other stu
dents who desired information on
the various reserve programs.
Druids Elect
Graf Prexy
Elected by unanimous vote,
John C. Graf '45 will replace
Clyde C. Bell as president of
Druids, sophomore athletics hon
orary.. Other officers elected at
the reorganization meeting last
night were Albeit E. Sesler; vice
president,
,and Horace B. Smith,
secretary-treasurer.
". Bell resigned as president when
he decided to join the Marines re
!cently. Action was taken by
Druids to help in the Victory
Weekend campaign by advertis
ing in The Daily Collegian, a plan
that was adopted earlier in the
'week by Skull and Bones, senior
that society.
In the interest of national de
fense, Druids have decided to take
the Civilian Defense courses 'that
are to be offered to air raid war
dens, Graf said.

airplane. A scenario for a film
on fuel sampling and testing is
nearly completed and work will
start on the picture soon.
For the Usual film most of the
work will be done in the local stu
dio. Three 16 mm. cameras with
a wide- variety of lenses and ac
cessories are in use. A monitor
ing and a projection booth pro
vide facilities for, "mixing" sound
and recording it in synchroniza
tion on both film and discs. The
studio has standard motion pic
ture lighting equipment and ma
terials for the construction of sets.
In addition to their use by the
College's defense training classes,
these' films will be available for
rental by groups throughout the
State und,Qr the film rental serv

so be available to other colleges in
