Bell Friday, September 11, 1942 Dropping A.Hint state College will throw its scrap into the Sight next week and it will do so in a whirlwind collection drive to rival the speed and efficiency of a military blitz. Lasting only a few hours Wednesday afternoon, the drive will be launched with the contribution of the old Armory cannon os an official offering from the College. A brief but appropriate ceremony is being planned to send the 15-ton goliath to the junk pile. When the monstrosity is freed -from its base and carted away to make aircraft cannons or bombs, the empty space will remain .to remind the students that there is more to this war than sugar rationing or service reserves. To make 'his reminder even more potent, it would be fine if some big-hearted sculptor or stone-cutter could take a slab of rock (such as was first removed from the Lion Shrine) and roughly bang out a small plaque. reserving the space for a souvenir from the present 'World War. This would be fine. And it would be doubly ef fective if it could be presented at the time of the passing of the old relic. However, if such a plan is not feasible, we sug gest that students at least take notice of the howitzer's fate and consider the reasons behind scrapping a 17-year-old landmark. Then maybe •`by Wednesday there will be a lot snore scrap ready to be thrown into the fight. 'Maybe not. Some people have a hard time re membering that we're fighting a war. The Picnic's Over That the first day of - frosh customs is over means little to most students in Penn State—ex cept to every man and woman of our new fresh man class. The largest class in Penn State his tory is probably wondering now just what all this hazing and the wearing of silly green dinks and ribbons is for anyway. What do they gain out of all this? Well, frosh, maybe you don't see now what you gain by customs. Maybe you don't agree with Tribunal's metliod of building the spirit of which every Penn State man is so proud. Maybe these green dinks and ribbons are all a lot of trash. Well, let's not formulate a policy before we know exactly what it's all about. Last semester, upperclassmen moaned because Student Tribunal allowed the freshman class to "get away" with so much. It wasn't all Tribun al's fault though. Freshmen had a tough time trying to make the accelerated grade first of all. Dean Warnock asked Tribunal to "take it easy," and above all, Tribunal did not receive the neces sary cooperation from the hat societies.• Upperclassmen who had previously undergone severe hazing seasons wondered what was hap pening to the "old Penn State spirit." Freshmen didn't seem to care whether they wore customs and didn't seem to care what Student Tribunal said or claimed it would do. Well, freshmen, the picnic is over. Take heed, hat societies and upperclassmen are cooperating with Tribunal in an effort to make you feel some spirit, and to drive into you the tradition and re sponsibility you must carry on' your shoulders. It's you who will be leading Penn State in the near future. It's you who will be cheering your team on to victory until your throats are raw. It's you who must 'realize just what it is that makes a Peon State man different from other college men. It's you, members of the class of "forty blank," Who MUST and will throb with the pride that makes Penn State. ________ __Milton Dolingei Mary Janet. Winter Pete Scott Stephen Sinichak George J.

To the 500 frosh gals, hello and look what you did to the ratio; to the new more-dazed-than-usual-Treshmen, hi, and may you find happy rooming grbunds. To the recruits, children of an ' over-worked alma mamma, we contribute our customary ode. Propaganda They wrote nie all about this College. About the profs and aft their knowledge. They instructed me on how to dress, On how to act and all the rest. They showed me - how to sing and cheer Though there's doubt about my, year. They said, "All these customs you must keep, Then you'll get a place to sleep." They added, "Studying will be sweet." But where the hell am I to eat? Left -Ovens The old-timers can't be forgotten either in this dithering freshman week. After Uncle Sammy Pointed his finger to the last draft joint at men, dragging them out of the Skellar, Cliff's, the Crrm., etc., Charley Tanguy, SAE, and Gene Cassel, phisigmakappa, condescended.
