Editor Advertising Manager -__ C:•adaate Counselor Tuesday, September 29, 1942 Final Fling? Last night Cabinet did something commendable —and something which should have been done a Jong time ago combining Junior Prom with Senior Bal, the student leaders can rest assured that they have folowed the right path and have appeased most of the'followers of both classes. Now the third year men can have the dance while they are still Juniors. At the same time, the seniors'wil be as wired of a really "solid" band for the final class Faced with the suggestion that the Prom date be exchanged with Mil Ball, the lawmakers de cided that such a solution would be inadvisable, since three big dances would thus be scheduled within the space of seven weeks. By taking the middle road Cabinet has pulled the Junior dance from a situation which we feel would have spelled ruin for that class. Since it is eputed that both tipper classes have "money in the bank" the combination will not• endanger either the treasury of '43 or '44. AS a matter of fact since this action is in line with "exigencies of the times" it might wel be feasible to dedicate the proceeds to a relief or service organization. In other words—another "V -Weekend". With the Pitt 'footbal game the same weekend, the financial success of the "big" affair is guaran teed. Committees of both classes will still earn their compensation and although some Seniors may dislike the notion of giving up an exclusive class affair it should be remembered that this may be .the last big affair for some time and 'therefore should receive unanimous support and coopera -M. H. D. Z. Hard Hearted? "From the campus to the camps" is the latest slogan to hit the College. It is used by the com mittee that is raising funds to send The Daily Collegian to army camps where Penn State men il•e in service. Friday night the campaign got off •to a god start with the contribution of the profits froth the first Old Main Open House. Added to that are several dollars contributed by individuals, as well as several subscriptions bought for indi vidual soldiers.. Many letters have been received from the boys in the camps asking for news of the campus. They want to know what's cooking, and no' doubt about it. Many of them have subscribed themselves. For those that haven't, this new idea of news "from the campus to the camps" is the answer. Most of the work will be done through or ganizations.• When the appeal is made to your group, stand up and support it with a sizeable contribution. It means a lot to the soldier boys. How much it means you can see for yourself if ).oti read some of the appeals that have come in'. there's the letter from the soldier. who says he whiled away his time in a foxhole under fire dur ing maneuvers reading his college paper, and there also the letter from the boy in Georgia who .LAys how much he likes the paper from the Uni versity of North Carolina that his buddy gets. The Alumni Office has stacks of letters from - - !rvice men and public relations officers thanking •ihOm for their publication, and asking for more. •Ehat's where the Daily Collegian comes in. The Daily Colegian wil pay all charges for mail log the paper, and has further reduced the price subscriptions for service men, so that the cost printing is covered. Don't be hard hearted when you hear the ap y.eal. Give as much as you can toward a Daily ".L'ollegian for some soldier. Maybe he'll never be ~ b ie to •thank you Personally, but by contributing t o his welfare, you'll be doing just a .little more en - your front.

Johnny Zoszak has lost all illusion about frosh coeds' innocence. Last Sunday AM while polish ing Mac Hall's pantry he beheld a vision of love liness wrapped in a peek-a-bo housecoat. John ny stared!!! ! The vision of loveliness spoke murely "S-s-s-s-s-ure," Johnny blurted and handed her a combination key outfit. The vision put her palm in his, grabbed the opener, and scampered up the stairs. Five minutes passed which seethed like eternity to Johnny. The vision reappeared. She handed him the opener. She opened her petal-like mouth. "What the hell's the matter with you," she shouted. "This damn thing won't open a beer can!"

An unprecedented number of freshmen have broken customs Going without ribbons and flame tans, cutting- compulSory meet ings—petty omissions in them selves— combine to create a bad impression on upperclasswomen, the . faculty. and -administration. Dating during the three weeks period, which will not end until Thursday; has led the list of• of fenses. • When viewed individually, some of the requirements may seem silly; but WSGA Senate members have learned from ex peizience that restricting freshmen aids in orientation. However, our purpose is neither to explain nor justify customs. We wish only to express the opinion s of upperclasswomen,• who are concerned over the attitude of Irosh.
