Campus Leaders W ill
Meet To Hear Prexy
Petitioned by an All-Cullege . Cabinet committee, Presi
dent .Ralph D. Hetzel has consented to address campds lead
ers in 121 Sparks at 7 :30 p. m. Wednesday, Donald W. Davis
Jr. '43, in charge of the event, announced last night.
Davis said the purpose of the session is to have the presi
dent explain to the BMOC's and BWOC's problems which the
administration is facing. Since the meeting will be informal,
it is expected much of the time will be taken up with ques
tions from the organization heads.
Those who are invited to
and independent unit presi
dents ; members of the All-
College cabinet, Woman's Stu
dent Government Association,
Tribunal, presidents of hat so
cieties and heads of women's
active honoraries, presidents
of the Penn State Club and
Philotes, members of the junior
and senior boards of The Daily
Collegian, and editors of publica
tions.
Jerome H. Blakeslee '43, All-
College president, is working with
Davis in planning for the event.
It has been the feeling of the
Cabinet that many campus prob
lems have been discussed with
certain leaders, but that others
who should have knowledge of the
conditions have no information.
Thus Cabinet's committee asked
the president to speak to all lead
ers, in a mass meeting. ,„
" Solne' Of - the - iriaiii . topfcg'td be
discussed will probably include
the success of Summer Session's,
the present dormitory situation
and housing problem, and mixed
drinking. Questions will bring out
administrative opinion on various
other phases of Penn State life.
War Stamp Buying Plan
To plan organized war stamp
buying by Penn State fraternities,
M. Williams Lundelius '43, Inter
fraternity Council president, has
appointed a special committee
headed by Robert Jordan '43.

Horse and Buggy
Here to Stay—Tires,
Cars on the Wane
The horse is here to stay, at least
until the duration of the war. The
strict rationing of tires and gas
oline has paved the way for many
motorists to revert to that old
fashioned method of travelling—
by horse and buggy.
The younger generation has al
ready fully realized the automobile
situation, and they themselves are
preparing to make use of dad's
mare and buggy.
State's students have not been
idle, for through the medium of
the Penn State Riding Club, they
have come to master the horse.
The club, organized several years
ago, has grown considerably in
membership during the past few
semesters.
Through the efforts of the club,
horse enthusiasts have been able
to provide themselves with a cheap
form of recreation. While pri
vate horse owners have had to be
content with putting out about $6O
