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

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. 'Make it a steady stream of news
"!:rom the campus to the ramps." —H. T. K.

As we punched the keys of this typewriter, pre
pared •to comment on coming political shindigs
and backstabbing (and hat society elections), an
odor of skunk penetrated the smoke-house atmos
phere of Cai•negie Hall basement. Behind us stood
not a skunk but a chem major from Pond Lab
with hydrogen fluouride streaming froni . every
pore. Only an alfachisig ,could. smell worse. Take
it for what it's worth!

CHEMIST'S DILEMNA—or why boys leave
home and come to Penn State.
_Are Fro3ll. Coeds Innocent?
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!"

With the Glenn Miller outfit in the army, and
both Dcrseys unavailable, the odds 'are that Kay
Kyser ' will play for the Junior-Senior Ball . . .
Dean Ray and her cohorts will soon move from
next to the frosted glass door to the Public In
formation offices downstairs—more room for
private confessionals.
Registrar Bill Hoffman cracked the syndicates
with a suggestion to Timmy Hatlo's "They'll Do It
Every Time" cartoon. . . . the gammasigs have
revived the ancient sport of gold fish swallowing
(the draft age wil soon be lowered to 18) . . .
someone would donate a few Emily Post books
to the AEPhi's and some razor blades (wholesale)
to the fisigmadeltas.
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
A subject strange is chemistry:
Within whose labs of evil smells
The' chemist rank, myopic dwells;
The chemist's blissful tete-a-tete
With some smal, dank precipitater,
The chemist, lurking in his lair
With nests of beakers in his hair;
These chemists are a stinking crew—
I know—ror I'm a chemist too.

Wey 511 e Women
Customs Were Made
To Be Kept
Freshman women, as a group,
lave one lesson which needs to
be learned iir a hurry—that wom
en's student government miles
are made to be enforced.
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.
Also, we might remind the
