. These past November week days have been
dreary. War news—worries of a rapidly catching
)11) final exam week of reckoning—gloomy Tue 5.1.1,7
.1.1,7 morning eight o'clocks—the 18-19 year-old
dr:lit—gas rationing—a meager one day Thanks
Day let up—all tend to put most students
- j .):;ychologically in the depth. Weekends such as
plis one are pleasant intermission and the Penn
victory helped a lot. But weekends only leave
hnigovers, and shouting about 13-7 gets tiresome
,after awhile.
What to
,do about these Monday to Thursday
bl u es?
Mr. George P. Rice, professor of speech seems
have a good idea and has results to proVe its
worth. Amiable George was getting sick and tired
r seeing his Speech 200 students stumble into
class ,grumble about everything, fall asleep in the
Tniddie of lectures and .generally be lowdown..
Mr. Rice set his Phi Beta Kappa mind to work
:in the psychology field. He hit upon a plan. Says
< . learge, "When you kids come into class next time
I want you to all be wearing the loudest of the
)ondest. Guys, sport your loudest ties and socks!
Gals, wear colorful sweaters and tie 'bows in your
S'Llir, and we'll see what happens."
The results were amazing, one of the class mem
i)'?rs reports. Things 'have livened up and classes
or - ,ln 't dull anymore. Maybe its really the bright
colors and fancy styles. Maybe its just the novelty
of the idea. Anyway the sprucing-up got results
which speak for themselves. •
So it all sounds like a good idea to make a camp
u3-wide policy. Only don't go too far—a regulation
ROTC uniform is still a regulation ROTC uniform.

Soldiers On Campus?
How long colleges will remain with their pres
,:n t status is a question which cannot be answer-
QC] by anyone, at least at this institution, right
It) w. However, to quote from Time magazine:
"U. S. college students finally learned their war
!Lime fate last •week. President Roosevelt . . .
he would soon announce a plan to use `cer
i.,iin colleges and universities for the training of a
)invited number of men of the armed forces for
',highly specialized duties.' The plan had already
been outlined to Congress when the bill passed:
"Some 100,000 uniformed men, picked by com
petitive examination will be sent to College at
the Army's expense. They will undergo nine to
2'7 months of training in science, engineering,
knedicine, other specialties:
Each chosen college will get about 500 Army
tudents, which means that only about 200 of the
nation's 1,700 colleges will be used. These will be
4 - nostly
, big endowed colleges and state univer
--gities."
From another source, the Associated Collegiate
Press, comes the statement "250,000 will be sent
from the services to colleges for specialized train-
Penn State is classed as a "state university" and
4:lius would fall directly in line for a program of
training servicemen on a larger scale than the
present Naval plan. This college has trained more
inen and women for war industries through its
extension courses than any other single educa
tional institution in the nation. Such a record
;;;lews Penn State is anxious to help in war train
as are all other colleges and universities. Un
such circumstances, Penn State would be a

tire Get Around
From the University of Toronto, Canada - paper,
"And gallantry is not dead, either. A young lady
of this campus recently became the recipient of a
super-gorgeous gob of fraternity pin which tame
all the way from Penn State. One of her local
admirers saw it and said, with noble solicitude,
`Jees, it's nice, but don't wear it swimming, ya
might drown'." . . . Those phidelt pins aren't that
big, or maybe tin's rationed in Canada.

Late-arriving ward heelers
hurried up the steps to confer with
their bosses. A group of coeds

battle was over; peace had been
declared.
Postmortem On A Party
• The shutout victory of the Cam
pus powerhouse has started talk of
such revolutionary expedients as
tbreakimg up of the entire party or
at 'least changing both groups'
names.
The hordes of Irvin .Hall fresh
men who voted Campus "because
we thought it was the fraternity
party" make the idea sound almost
plausible.
Preyue Of Dynamite
Rumor has it that the next six
issues of Portfolio will be enliven
ed by an intimate, diary-accurate
account of Penn State politics and
politicians.
It's reported to be hard-hitting,
revealing, and frank enough to be
bordering on libel. If rumor is true;
the
. writer will . be a politician who
-=by this' timeshould know the
- game from all 'angles.
Watch for Walt Price's return to
the liitelight when the dirt-digging
starts.
A Job To Do
• The next Elections Committee
is certain to meet up with some
whopping big problems. Something
will have to be devised to revital
ize that opening mass meeting be
fore rigor mortis sets in complete

in voting will.have to be instituted,
and the problem of whether first
semester upperclassmen are elig
ible to run for Office will also rear
its sneering head.
Who belongs to what class should
be the successor to Knock-Knocks
and the 64-dollar-questions by that
time, especially.since the next elec
tions are due to come up during
the Summer semester.
No Praise, No Pay
Which brings around the time to
suggest, in closing, a proposal for
Cabinet consideration... Why not
make Elections Committee mem
bership or at least the Committee
cha-irnianship a paying -job?
Some compensation should be
granted for the thankless job of

We, 54e Women
Packed Away "ni
Armistice Day—
We used to say, "Oh, big week
ends will come and g 0...," but
this year we're singing a different
tune. We've cut it down to "This
weekend will go"; for student gov
ernment authorities have said that
this will be the last "for the dura
tion."
This one... Junior Prom-Senio . r
8a11...is the last of a long line of
successful, prosperous big week
ends.
We've listened -to everything,
from ``moonlight serenades" to
"music of yesterday and today"
•and last night we started our last
fling with the "sweetest trumpet
in the world." •
For about 14 big 'weekends, we've
won . the pigskin contest of the day.
We've entertained imports from
all parts of _the country and once
or twice we even Coaxed them to
stay over an extra day when the
buses were on strike.
We've deteriorated from the
stage of having two 3 o'clocks to
a 3 and a 1 o'clock, and we're
closing with a 2 and a 1 o'clock
permissiOn.
Celebrations have reached peaks
for which some fraternity houses
have had to wear' eards and enter
tain outside their own doors..
We've defense-stamped through
an accelerated semester which
eliminated more and more flowers
until last.night when sported
"ribbons for. defen - se."
When curfew rings
. tomorrow
night, the last of the- famous
State weeiceAdi will (lie" for the
duration. Oh, Armistice Day!
Men Need Draft

E. Galbraith, faculty war advisor,

listed Reserve COrpg'rriust first Pb- 7
tain a release from their draft
board if they are registered for
the draft,
These .draft board releases must
be presented at the same time the
candidate is •sworn in the ERC.
•Gaibraith advised all 'men who
plan to join one of the reserves
that the closing date foilmost of
them would be December 15.
In securing a release from the
draft board in a student's home
town, Galbraith advises •the stu
dent to explain that he is seeking
a position in one of the armed
service reserves and that he must
have the consent of his local board
before he can enlist.
Students, who find that their
boards are reluctant to give re
leases, are asked to contact Gal
braith as soon as possible, so that,
he can help- them. •
Try this on the judge: A Mil-1
Waukee laundry driver, arrested
for driving the wrong way on a
cne-way street, explained he was
cutting his mileage 25% to .save
rubber. Sentence suspended.
