Dorm Calls Cut
Alexander Graham Bell's invention was a great
thing. 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

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.
When imports will be IF's yield,
When life's too trite to think at all,
It's time to get back on the ball.
A dose of nose drops kills the chills,'
Then Cabinet starts a war on thrills.
The life we lead is free of .smell
But makes us wonder . . . "what the hell?'
Tell Us Another
In noisy Mac Hall coeds were gobbling up the
remains of their spinach. Being of one-track
minds, none had spoken for the duration of the
first course. There was a lull; a .comely miss
wound up with a yarn about Mae West . . . a
little moldy but mighty good. She lowered her
voice to put across the punch line,
A perspiring waiter strained his ears and in
/quired, "What happened next? I .couldn't hear."
HUMa2te Society
Out of God-knows-where and into the Chio
shanty a cuddly gray and white animal of' the
feline variety was dropped. At once the gals
adopted the orphan of cruel fate, placed it in a
warm bed among the trunks and christened it
George .(after a good friend of the family).
- A Med Tec suggested subtly today that it be
renamed Georgiana.
Gossip And Gall
The most interesting things in life are what
you hear, •and so we'll be interesting for a change,
or try to be.
