Penn tate students long for some light on the future to guide their present course. All admit that the fetters from the administration during the Christ- 3 - nas vacation were extremely helpful and un doubtedly it was a big factor in confining the drop in enrollmetV to about 10 per cent., not counting. .graduates. •U. Col. Harley B. West of the war department general staff has disclosed a plan for large-scale 'conversion of American colleges and universities into training bases for the armed forces. West told 41% meeting of the Middle States AssoCiation of Colleges and Secondary Schools that students will be selected from "young men in the army who Jiave demonstrated aptitude to receive such higher education," and that they will live under army discipline and receive regular army pay while in IA - aining. As many as 250,000 service men will be rent to colleges under the plan. Military representatives emphasized the gov ernment will not take over any colleges to which vervice men will be sent for courses lasting from aline months to more than two years. Any relation between the armed services and collegiate insti tutions is going to be purely voluntary and there is to be no requisitioning, according to West Dean Harry P. Hammond, of the School of En gineering, told his assembled students, prior to the Christmas vacation, that emphasis in instruc tion will be placed on scientific and technical courses. Military training will be subordinated to :Academic work, he said, since the students will .have received military instruction before enroll 3nent_ The engineering dean also revealed that a board of educators is working on curricula for the army college training program. Colonel West, referred to previously, said, "Schools selected for the program will be those in position to furnish the type of instruction required, with facilities for housing and .feeding the men. The training program is based on the supposition of a long war," he said, "and men who enter the courses will not emerge before the end of 1943, the middle of 1944, or even 1945." What Penn State students would like to know is :"Wheri does this proposed program start?" And - the only answer at this time is Col. West's comment - that the government would like to set the plan in operation "at the earliest possible moment." Turn The Page Have you purchased your Collegian subscription et?

Either they can't read or are not interested in what goes on around the campus. At least they're not trying to find out through the pages of that worthy campus institu tion. We have one suggestion to make—why the hell don't you tell yourfriends to subscribe? Political Fistcufis This item should be addressed personally to one Rube Faloon, senior class prexy, but. because of his public importance .we feel the, campus should know about it. Bragging a few days ago about his physical prowess, the Rube challenged All-College boss Jack Grey to a ring match, claiming that he was in much better shape than that genial gentle man of swing, the College 121-pound champ. The oddity of the situation comes with Faloon's failure to appear at Rec. Hall for the scheduled bout on five consecutive days. We know little about Grey's shape but he says he's getting tired waiting for his worthy opponent to put in an appearance. May be he's out trying to get in shape. The Animal Kingdom Our furry friends have taken quite a part in campus activities during the last week and prom ise to continue to do so. A gift rabbit made itself known at the Theta House by eating the better part of a pair of Ginny Seltezer's shoes. There's a probability that it wasn't fed well • enough either at its new home or the Theta Xi house, its former home. At least it got disgusted with the situation and left for regions unknown after it had devoured the. tasty shoes. The other chance entry of the animal kingdom into campus affairs came, Sunday night at the Crrm where the ATO's Tau, a stray pup, and some big hound engaged in a fight to the finish. Their lust for blood was frustrated, however, when some guy dropped a bottle of Pepsi-Cola in the middle of the fray. They were probably used to stronger stuff from the next corner down the street. Anyhow they dispersed. The cashier prompt: ly made an announcement that the battle royal would continue next Sunday night with booth reservations on sale in advance. The Hardware Department.
