OF THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 24, STATE COLLEGE, PA Curfew Judge War Loan Applications Blanks Available Now Applications for student war loans are now available, although the College's allotment, of funds has not yet been received, according to Russell E. Clark, chairman of the committee on Student War Loans.

Mavis will handle the applications from the Engineering School for Dean Hammond.

According to Fred C. Capuder '43, the Hemlock Looper wriggles along by bending its body into a circle for each step, and sheds a ring at each loop, hence the term "looper." • Capuder, who is chair man of the dance,, said he expects the ring -leader of the worms to make reports as he nears the East. Because the loopers west of the Rockies dislike Hemlock trees in the East, little damage will be done to shrubs on campus, according to a report from Ag Hill. Theme of the Hemlock Looper will be used at the brawl. Change of the keynote from Paul .Bunyan, legendary charaeter.ifi-wood,smerys tales, was made because l3unyan has a defense job blowing down trees for wooden cargo boats. H. Ernest Murphy '43 is chair man of the publicity committee, while Robert G. Kintigh '43 heads - the group on decorations. Jack E. Paulhamus '43 is in charge of tickets and checking. IFC Approves Plan To Cooperate With Activities Curfew Interfraternity Council last night voted unanimously to co operate with All-College Cabinet in its proposed 8:30 curfew on student activities. The plan of cooperation as sug gested by Bernard A. Plesser '43, representative of Cabinet at IFC meeting, deals with three phases of fraternity activity. Plesser ask ed that fraternities attempt ,to hold house meetings earlier and limit 'them to the least possible number. Second phase of the plan dealt with easing up on initiation activi ty during the week while the third suggested that fraternities deny outside groups use of their houses for meetings after 8:30. • The only prOposal . that met with any opposition was the one refer ring to house meetings because the 10 o'clock time at which most houses now hold them is probab'y the only one,at 'which all or most of the members carObe present.
