However, the use of it appears to be a bit overworked in coed dormitories. With increased coed enrollment on the cam pus, it has been deemed necessary to curtail local calls. A limit of five minutes will be placed on (s.ach call. Dialing incessantly through the evening, only to hear a busy signal at the other end, is a bit discouraging to most students. When the call finally comes through; advantage is often taken of the "phone in every room" privilege, as well as - more public hall phones. However, under the present set-up, after 'the five minutes are up, the operator will interrupt the conversation" A half-minute will then be given to bid final adieus. Alter that time the waerator will cut off the call. With the cooperation of men as well as women in' making phone calls as concise as possible, clog ging of lines will be cut down, and the telephone system can work more efficiently. " It's nice to unburden troubles over the phone Other students may have the same wish, though, and with the cooperation of all, more phone Balls may be put through. • For Whom The Curfew . . . The groundwork wt:s begun yesterday for in stalling .Penn State's famed 8:30 curfew. Scorned by some, ridiculed by a few others, Drld considered with an indifferent attitude by majority of students, the curfew will go into 4eration Sunday night Yesterday, however, the first big step was tak 3n, whon an All-College Cabinet committee met to hear appeals made by different organizations, which wished to be exempted from the new re triction. The Daily Collegian was there to make its ap peal—and so was Froth. Thespians and the PSCA offered petitions. In so many words, it was evident that campus organizations were will ing to cooperate by making certain concessions which would enhance their chances of gaining exemption from the •curfew' Collegian will operate with only a skeleton crew after 8:30 each night. 'Thespians will short zir rehearsals, and Ft : othy said it would attempt to make wiser use of its budgeted time, although the latter did not mention that it would promise wiser use of valuable paper. In a vein of seriousness, however, it is more wident than ever before that Cabinet intends to carry out its present proposal with all the en iimsiasm that can be mustered, And the curfew will be enforced. The Administration has taken care of that angle. Janitors have been ordered to close all meet ing rooms at 8:30, and Penn State's janitors have way of making students toe the line when it .tomes to enforcing regulations regarding the use f campus buildings. In conclusion, may we remind 'you that six .months ago, Americans ridiculed and scorned gas Iltioning. It was a sore spot which has been :!tcaled by the growing seriousness of war. Penn State is now regarding its curfew in the ..ame manner, but six more months of war matt, change plenty of attitudes in the Nittany Valley Downtown orrice 119_121 South Frnzior St Phone 4172 Robert Kinter Steve Sinichalt Al, J.

When Doc Ritenour's epidemic plays havoc with sinuses, when Indian Summer picks up her grass skirts and runs into a pseudo Winter hangout, when IF is just around the next seven days, you'd think we could find a subject for an ode. Even Cabinet is no inspiration for a corny rhyme, so we launch out the following drivel in tribute to nothing. Tou jou rs Gai When sniffles start to play the field.
