We are referring to the motor excursions. outside of State College which must now be• cur tailed. Almost everyone has at some time• or other gone on hay-rides or truck parties to pleas ant picnic spots. In normal times this is very But now we can't expect the impossible. Party :planners must take into consideration the fact that trucking companies are no longer' permitted to.run their affairs as they may wish. Uncle Sam has a share in the business now and controls the gas supply. Don't blame the trucker. This isn't his doing. But don't expect to continue these :pleasure excursions. • In a , recent letter• to a trucking concern head 'who had requested College intervention and as sistance, President Hetzel established a general policy Which we students must accept. In part he . said: `While we are appreciative of the important part which recreation plays in the morale of our young people. , . . nevertheless: w e would 'be in a difficult' position if we tried to persuade those responsible for directing the war effort to make an exception . . . • "It is our feeling that the organized recreation al program of the College will have to bear the :toad during the coming months, and that what ever our students do to get themselves into the :mountains will have to be on their own initiative and under the most simple forms of transporta tion, i.e., hiking and bicycles." So that's the situation. Looks like we stay in our own back yard. On Civilian. Casualties A lot of Penn Staters who figured that the tire :and gas rationing would establish the supremacy of the walking pedestrian over the motorized pe destrian, at least for the duration, are waking up •to the fact that they jumped to delusions rather than conclusions. Some are waking up to the fact that they just didn't jump at all when they should have. The local picture of pedestrian utopiana is be :mg thrown out of balance (even upset in some fiiistances) by that docile appearing contraption called the bicycle. . Innocent enough in the good ole days when it :still played second fiddle to the automobile, the :newly emancipated bicycle, at least in the hands of irresponsible pilots, has become more of a ter ror on the campus than the auto ever was on the 'highways. We observed the first manifestation of this fact last week when a bicyclist, speeding down the mall with his siren wailing full-out, cleared the 13; dewalk. of students in less time than it {took an ambulance to clear a city block in - the good ole days. . Yesterday we witnessed what was probably Penn State's •first bicycle hit-and-run accident. iSome budding Barney Oldfield out to see how :many pedestrians he could almost-hut-not-quite )lit, was having the time of his life watching them jump, when he misjudged the dimensions of a peace-loving Summer session student. Unable to stop in time to avoid hitting the per son, the two-wheeled terror swerved just late enough to snag the pocket of a victory suit and convert the peace-loving pedestrian into a raving .clinical dilemma. We have heard reports of numerous other near, and even closer, misses on the campus recently, and mention these only to warn the students to be on the lookout for vehicles while walking to and from classes. 40 With more bicycles appearing on campus every day, the situation can become acute. just I)reamin' We were just taking it easy over the weekend to get into shape for the hot time in the old town next weekend, and we got to dreaming about the goodi old days 'way back when , we were fresh. men; and Campy's predecessor was. going delir ious with the visions of the crop of fresh' wo men, seniors now, as follows: "We're' enclosing. the list of names with a.• few . notes before that hit blonde• let us have it . . . You can have your blondes! Gather your bru n-ettes into. buses and ship them to Bellefonte! Campy sees. red . . . a. big green ribbon, luscious, auburn hair, and about five feet six of loveliness named Frankie Leiby . . . lives at Mac Hall . . and the dear readers can find the rest out for themselves . . . "But on second thought there's no use in being so tough on the rest of the student body. You might as well keep the following around, because they're all worth. looking at: "Jeanne Ruess and Gloria Knepper . .

Casualty Among Lions The hottest day of the year rolled around in Chapel Hill, N. C., a week ago but the Penn State platoon had to take it in stride with the rest of the routine. All members of the platoon came through the march in fine shape, except one "En sign" Brown. The ensign's collapse' fi'om the heat proved fatal. The ensign was a little mon grel who attached himself to the group soon after its arrival, and was affectionately ranked as "en sign" and named according to his color: -H. S. Z -41errt0012.

However the film will be released to universities, colleges and regular theaters' in September if the- current production Nice. is main tained': .At this writing. shots are. being made at Dartmouth. Other col leges where footage has been taken include. Tulane; TUskegee Insti tute, Texas A & Franiptom Institute, University of Texas; Ptairie View College, Purdue; and Cornell. Technicians and' still more- technicians' remain the fair-haired boys of the civilian war forcesi The government—by way of the civil service connnission—whaS Once again issued a loud call for . physicists, chemists,•meteorologista, metallurgists, naval architects and marine engineerS. • As a matter of fact, that call has become almost a shriek. Even the staid civil service bulletins annoutcing the openings are headed; "Hundreds of Appointments to be made for Civilian War Service." Which, for a government bureau, is nothing less than a shriek. Jobs in all six of the categories will pay from $2,600 to $5,600; most of them falling in the $2,60043;800 range. And no questions asked. That is; no written examinations. Applicants for position's in most cases must have completed' their college work and have had two years of profesSional experience—or "appropriate" graduate study. Teaching, it is pointed out, counts as experience. You may get application forms from your post office or by writ, ing the civil service commission here in Washington. Global warfare calls for more legal talent in government. And the government is after. it. The first. civil service examination ever• given lawyers is scheduled for next September 26. • Results of the six-hour written test will be used *to establish a' list of attorneys from which federal agencies may make selections'. In addition to the written examination candidates are scheduled for oral interviews. It won't be necessary for 'aspirants to come to Washington for testing since regional committees will take care of • the oral examination. The legal jobs pay $l,BOO to $3,200. Students still in law school who expect to complete their studies before February 15, 1943, are eligible for the $l,BOO jobs. Officials point out that "practically all legal positions" in gov ernment within this salary range will be filled from the list of eli gibles to be compiled. Consequently, it is important to take these tests if you wish a government post. • Applications to take the tests must be filed with civil service here in Washington by August 21.
