The colleges and universities, by insuring a continual .3upply of technically trained men and 'women, can insure the continual increase .of our strength for victory and for peace:" • This was,part of 'a recent speech made by War Manpowerehief Paul V. McNutt at Purdue. Now the means to implement such action has come to Perm State. Establishing a new basis •of security for technically trained men is the government loan which will soon be available to Nittany stu dents. • As we understand the system, money may be provided for fees and tuition, as well as books, and a sum as high as $25 per month supplied for maintenance of those in selected technical fields. This means that .the entire college system be comes more democratic. Students with the neces sary qualifications may continue their training . without financial worries. ..At the same time although the scholarships. may be considered loans, they are automatically can celled if the recipient is .drafted and the loan is written off. •Chief restriction resulting from par ticipating in the benefits seems to be in subjugat ing oneself to the War Manpower Commisison since the student agrees to follow its wishes in the War Effort. However, with economic and military situations daily becoming more complicated, these govern ment loans and provisions seem to point the way for a more steady collegiate program carrying the additional advantage of a more certain .future Glancing At Junior Prom In line with the recent program of curtailing activities, Cabinet has recommended that Junior Prom be dropped from the Fall social calendar, and re-scheduled during the Winter semester. By doing this, Cabinet feels that it can eliminate one big dance from the over-crowded Fall social program. However, members of the junior class have not accepted the proposal with as much enthusiasm as was originally expected. First of all, the juniors want to know why they should have their junior , class dance when they are seniors. In the second place, it is highly probable that the dance will fall far short of the financial success that. would be possible if it were to be held this semester as originally scheduled. Financial success could be better insured this semester because there will be over one thousand more students on campus this semester than there will be during the coming, Winter term. In ad d ition, the present senior class would be among the chief supporters of Junior Prom if it were to be. held this semester. But with the seniors gra duating in Decerriber, Junior Prom will lose a great potential group of dance-goers. It has been suggested by various groups that the juniors combine their dance with Senior Ball, or switch dates with Military Ball. By combining their dances, jjuniors and seniors can have one big get-together before into of 'nen from both .!lasses are called into the armed services of the .nation. By combining the dances, both classes will have to make concessions—but it will be in the best interests of the present program of "cut ting the social and activity corners."

Beli The Campuseer 411 I The Opinions expressed in this column are those of the columnist, sod are not, necessarily those of The Daily Csrlleginn.) Our first column last week was a distinct disap- pointment. Only two persons threatened to mur- der us. But just for protection, we promise not to mention, or even hint at, Les Hetenyi's name in this column The Pestilence Returns Life is so futile. Campy is in despair. We noted the coming of cool fall weather with app.rehension and misgivings, but, in a fit of foolish optimism, we prayed—hoping against hope—that it wouldn't happen again this year. But, alas, it did. Yes- terday, marring the beautiful scenery of this campus, was sighted the season-s first pair. of those hideous' knee-length socks on an otherwise Presentable frosh coed. More—hordes of them— are sure to follow. As the only way out, we have decided upon suicide—or, going to extremes, to get appointed to All-College Cabinet. Curfew Arid Curses Speaking of Cabinet (and who isn't these days), , we just want to say we ain't mad at them any more about that curfew proposal. • At first . ,we wanted to assassinate the whole crew of them, but .now we should be satisfied with mere iMpeach ment and conviction. But the curfew probably will have its advantages. Bull sessions can now last an .hour or two longer. And Collegian will be able to get off the press early in the evening— provided Mr. Watkins switches class schedules to run from 2 a. m. to 9 a. m. instead of the present silly, unpatriotic 8 a. m. to 5 p. m, hours.

Before you decide to go out on the campus wearing mannish slacks, for Pete's sake take a look at yourself full-length ,mirror—preferably a three-cornered one. Please! Gripe Of The Week We were standing in the ticket line of , one of State College's better theaters last Saturday and had to suffer the discomfort of the usual childish, rough-house pushing and mauling done by Penn State's studious gentlemen. We didn't mind that so much, as we've been pushed around plenty be fore. But an elderly woman in front of us began to feel faint as a result of the crowding, and went home, relinquishing the position s'lle had' held in the line for some 20 minutes. Which makes us wonder when some of Penn State's students will start acting . their age ((i.e., their chronological age). Professiorial Patter Professorial humor was even worse than usual this week, but this crack provoked some laughter in a poli sci class Monday. Professor Alderfer was told that absence was heavy because of Yom 'Kippur. Whenever he called roll, the first five students on the list answered to their names. Calling of the next name, Duff, brought no answer. Perplexed, Alderfer said, been an Irish name, hasn't it?" .
