Manager Assistant Advertising Manager Graduate Counselor Tuesday, August 18, 1942% Iteviving Another Issue While we are on the subject of reviving dead issues, we can't ignore the rumors which intimate that there will again be a student book exchange operating between the Summer and Fall semes tters. Originally, the exchange functioned as a politi cal activity, but it was later put into the hands of All-College Cabinet, which allowed the project to collect plenty of dust while the rest of campits was becoming more deeply involved in wartime mea snres. Now the book exchange may be revived. Through it, students are .able to save a consider :able amount of money while purchasing text- Vooks, and at present there is no topic that creates :more interest among students than one which in fers that money can be-saved. :All in all, two dead issues have been . revived •during the past week, and if the present rate con- Unties, there should be plenty of campus dead wood salvaged before the curtain falls on the na tional emergency. • Maybe It Is The Heat Never thought you'd do it, did you? But here it is, barely two weeks until the end of the semes ter. The Summer semester. The first in the history of the College; and all for Uncle Sam. So they told us. But just exactly how much did we accomplish for Uncle Sammy? Of course, we all buckled down to hard studying and de -voted ourselves to acquiring as much of the "ac celerated" knowledge as possible. Oh yeah! Even if this WEt the first Summer we ever at tended this institution, we're quite sure there was not any great amount of education floating around. Or rather, the "stuff" was there all .right, but we students didn't take advantage of it. If all those vacationists who didn't bother to come back this Summer because they couldn't see the hard work in store for them had had any inkling of the social functions they missed, they'd probably gnash their collective teeth in rage. And if these functions are any indication of what's going to occur next semester-0 Boy! Much has been said and much will be said about the "out-of-this-world" attitude of the Nittany Valley education seekers. In fact, we overheard a visitor to this Shangri-La musing to a cbmpan ion as they overheard an All-College Sing several weeks ago—"l wonder if the people up here know there's a war going on." If that nameless travel er knew how unoriginal his observation was! The point is, soon we will be immersed in final examinations which we don't seem to care too much about, given by professors who themselves don't give a hang about it. All Summer we have cut classes and skipped assignments, blaming it quite naturally on the weather. Wonder.if the boys on near-equatorial Bataan gave up because of--the weather. We wonder! —M. 13. D.

Someone slipped up and forgot to change the nameplate. Beginning today this column will appear on Tuesdays instead of Saturdays. Ye ed now has a whole weekend to thoroughly sniff our concoction for libel, disin fect any traces of obscenity, and render it fit for consumption by our student body. • Recapitulation The hat societies are squawking that our recent attacks were unwarranted. They claim they are devoting valuable time as air raid messengers. In addition, they claim, much valuable service (gratis) was rendered by them during V-Weekend ($4.40 for Freedom). We recognize these facts and declare a temporary truce—until Blue Key elections are held next semester. As for the Jerry' Stein-Yougel bicycle fine inci dent, the less said the better. Our motives were completely misconstrued. We tried to point out to students that bicycle laws existed . and were . being enforced in the boro. We had no ulterior motive of poking fun at boro officials—as stated by one of our broadminded administrative offi cials. • Nuf 'ced. Incidentally .. . when is action going to be tak en to curb those bicycle cowboys who threaten the physical well being of Mall strollers? How about getting your boys to work on the situation right away, Captain Dennis? The Housing Situation Smells ! ! Over the weekend we welit on a one-man-room inspection-tOur of downtown mansions. The dorm boys have been complaining that the better rooming 'houses won't rent to students. Results of our 'investigation were: (1) a small percentage of landladies will not permit inspection by a Student Housing Board—which, they say, is a denial of their constitutional rights; (2) most double rooms have a single closet, two beds, two desks, and one window; (3) there is an average of nine people to one bathroOrn; and (4) seniors graduating in December are considered bad risks —because rooms are difficult to rent in mid-win ter. Our survey covered 20 rooms in as many parts of downtown. It does not apply to the faculty homes in back of campus. • Potpourri The original Thetas, who inaugurated the practice of entertaining the miSogyniStic ensigns, were seen flouncing around in yesterday's down pour sans—shoes.

Henderson '36, past editor of the Penn State Coll legian, has written and edited a book in collaboration with two other writers entitled . "War In Our Times," which will be pub lished on or about October 9, 1942 by Doubleday Doran. The book contains approximate ly 450 pages which are filled ,with 800 plates covering the period from the Japanese invasion of Manchuria to the battle of Mid way .Island. First printing of the book will be composed of 15,000 first edi tions. Many book clubs have al ready shown interest in the non fiction work on contemporary war and it promises to be a success. Henderson, upon graduation from College, held the job as man aging editor of the magazine "Fri day." Recently he resigned from that position to enter free-lance writing' work in New York.
