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.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Tales
Prehide To Pain
Along comes a new semester accelerated beyond
the high-gear point and verging on the God-what
a-mess side of existence. 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. Pat Na
gelberg is back ala gob outfit; while Johnny
Baer, ex-ragman, is carrying a gold bar on his
shoulder.
Wolf Food
For the wolves at the doors of the newly con
verted women's dorms, we submit a few names
. . . a beginning of the end of the famous five to
one ratio . . . Jane Dye, Betty Ann McGinnis,
Nancy McGeary, Margie Odell, Lois Stemler,
Sylvia Hoch, Jan Adam, and more to be con
tinued. May God bless the two-legged animals
and may the years to come bring no men sans
women at beautiful State College.
That Institution
Money in the preacher's pockets rolled in re
cently when Ann Morris, AOPi, and Walt Hib
bard, deltasig, took the vows. Polly Kline and
Laßue Biney swapped. their Miss for Mrs. Phil
Moore joined 3-A (married men) classification by
taking a Wilson gal. Jane Romig, ex-WSGAer,
is now Mrs. Hal Wilson.
