Blanks may be had at the offices of the Deans of Mineral Indus
tries, Agriculture, and Chemistry
and Physics. Prof. Frederick T.
Mavis will handle the applications
from the Engineering School for
Dean Hammond.

Hemlock Looper
To Aid Foresters
Hemlock Looper, a little worm
common to the Western forests,
will migrate to Central Pennsyl
vania this Fall to be on hand at
the Bunyan Brawl, annual dance
of the Penn State Forestry Society
which will be conducted in Rec
Hall October 23.
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.
