Schwartz 4:r:tau/Ito Counselor Tuesday, November 24, 1942 Christmas Shopping There isn't much to college life that the accel cy,lted program hasn't affected. Right now, and even moreso after the Thanks ving weekend, most Penn State students are ) , Juking ahead of the hectic early December final Q. , :aminations and "dreaming of a White Christ )l4as." Three outstanding situations have arisen which will make this year's Yuletide recess dif- J',erent 'from those in the past. 'One of them is Oleasant, one will hurt some momentarily, and the other is serious enough to warrant some thought and consideration. Vacation officially begins December 19. This . date is also the end of the Fall semester. That Means it's the end of bluebooks, worries about this and that course, and fOr . the seniors it's the end of College. Undergraduates will go home for the :iioliday with no "lots of work to do when I come l'ack7 worries, so prevalent when coming Nick in January meant bumping into the first semester ),orne stretch. Seniors will have a diploma to 'hang on their Christmas trees.' And this is pleas ;mt. the past it was the custom for many stu dents to leave College early with the Administra tion's approval to take holiday jobs in hometown ;;tares and post-offices. This year most students only will be available for work during the five or six days Vacation before the 25th. College au thorities have stated that it will be impossible for them to excuse students during the last week of the semester which is sure to be crowded with im portant finals and blueboOks. Only in cases where special arrangements have been made by •a stu dent to complete his work early will permission be,. granted. All this will hurt some monetarily. Transportation difficulties will haunt 'most everybody. Rumors are flying thick and fast con cerning just how many busses will be available to take care of the mass evacuation. Seniors who will he moving out of town lock, ,stock and barrel will have to use some of their parent's precious `A' stickers to move trunks, suitcases and all the vari ous paraphernvlia that three and a half years of College life have accumulated. And many another campus mind is wondering now, "How will just tittle me get home for Christmas?" All this war- rants some thought and consideration Despite the headaches mid indefinite planning everyone seems to be confident that they'll be illome for Christmas, which is a very, very nice thought to wake up with on those dark and dreary December mornings ahead. Nittany Palisades . Last Thursday night a group of students were . singing in one of the booths at a downtown res .l,aurant. Of course they sang .the usual round of ;five .or. six Penn State songs,. but then they ,changed and started in on other College's music. • NYU's alma mater "0 Grim Gray Palisades"' :threw a hush over the whble restaurant. True, 'they were a bunch of good singers but•that song . .just' kind of got everybody. This idea isn't original. Dean Warnock suggest •<!d it in one of his Centre Daily Times 'Half Col yums' several weeks' ago. But why not have Hum :lishburn or some of his staff write a set of Penn 'l , 3tate words to this truly beautiful hymn. It wasn't ' , original with the Violets and so it's open property io other Colleges. As A. E. W. DM it. "the song expresses the shet .4ecing Nitto.ny mountains.:' So why rt it.

We slept for fifteen hours and are now back in tip top shape except for the butterflies which are raising cain in our stomach and the hammers which insist on beating out our brains. After a combined weekend we came early this morning to the astounding conclusion that times are in deed tough. While we were wandering around in our ap parent daze Friday and Saturday nights, though, we had our eyes open wide enough to pick up a couple little items of local interest. Take a look, for instance, at the big, big sparkler shining on the fingers of one Dorothy Brunner, said to have been presented to her by the soon retiring AA president, Barney Plesser. The same little thing happened at the Beta house while it was under the influence Saturday night when Sammy Chase put the ring on Theta alum Marge King. We also got word that Bob Wasser, former campus poli tician and Tribunal man, got engaged. At least lie has the ring on and Harriette Block is connect ed with the affair somewhere. !Fell Why Note • Jewelry flashed in seveibl places around town While it tried to get back on its feet. The much speculated-about Schatacker 7 Elston romance drew to a climax when she finally accepted the oft-offered Phika-passing hardware Sunday. Phi sigmakappa Jim McCauihn sent his jeweled of fering out of town with his hometown girl-friend while Jim.Measday lost hold on his Sigmachi badge long enough for Trudy kortright Theta phialpha to take it with her. The only other re port which came to our shell-like' ears was the word that• Dick Berk is no lOnger the possessor of his Phisigrnadelta. hardware. It now belongs to Marilyn Schultz AEPhi. Trivia The big joke of the weekend happened at the football game Saturday. It seems that while a gent in a white hat hurried down the aisle in one of the senior sections someone got an idea about where the object of his rushing lay. Starting the comment he was immediately joined by four en tire sections, as they sang boisterously "We Know Where You're Goin, " or is that the name of the song? Speculating on another romance, we get to won dering now and then if the new All-College prexy will follow the whole way in Arnie Laich's foot steps. It seems that while still a student, Mr. Laich, also an employee at the Crum, took marit tal vows with a young _lady. Can Mr. Grey keep up the dizzy pace? W We 54,e Women Of A Change, Frosh! It Won't Be Much Gee, kids, aren't you relieved? Your customs come off tomorrow so there's only one day of misery remaining No more wearing those bothersome green rib bons to destroy your color combinations; no more silly namecards to advertise your name and make you look like everyone else; no more of this hur mility that makes you , open doors for upperclass women. Now you can date after all these weeks of knit ting in the, dorms while others go out and make whoopie. Now you mil go to movies with men in stead of roommates. You've had a touch of custom-wearing. You've had to wear the darn things so much longer than any other claSs and you've bee - it absolutely swell about it. Everybody's saying what good sports you were. We never saw .. - such a solid. class of green decorations before. We hope that we haven't taken too much of your time away from your studies for all. these, silly customs, and we hope we haven't made College too unhappy by curbing your• dating activities this Way. Our most sincere hope is that next year's class will cooperate in as nifty . a way as you have.' . . It's been great having such an enthusiastic group. around and now that the strain is oft, go at it and have fun. You surely deserve a let-down.
