Now that the shouting is over and enlistments in. most of the reserve corps are closed, a word of tribute should be paid to Professor Robert E. Galbraith, Penn State's Faculty . Advisor on War flervices, fOr performing so well the tremendous task assigned to him. For nine long months, "Gal," as he is common )y known w lost practically all vestiges of a private life. Wherever he went, anxious and impatient students beseiged him seeking advice. Whether it was in the Corner Room or his . home, it mattered ))ot to the students. They wanted to see "Gal." Day and day out, he answered patiently the same questions that were asked of him thousands and thousands of times. Often the going got tough, but "Gal" usually was able to crack a smile at the - cud of a weary day. 'Many a student is in college today because the congenial war advisor managed to get him into one of the reserves when the draft board was "breathing hot on his neck." . The great faith the students have in "Gal" is Yetlected in an incident that happened recently of a local theatre. During one of the shorts, a young man ripped open a letter and turned to his wife shouting, "My Lord, I've been drafted. What I do?" Before the actor could get a word in edgewise, some of Penn State's alter students answered, "See Gal." However, it seems as if there is not rest for the weary for now that his job is practically finished, !"Gal" is busy at work readying his.boys for their first swimming meet. Also he still teaches on the sdde. So borrowing from George M. Cohan in "Yan -I:ee Doodle Dandy," we say to "Gal"—The nation thanks .you, the College thanks you, and the stu dents thank you. The Full Table Spending time at home during the recent Christ .) nas vacation has helped many Penn State students to realize what trouble the family back home has in getting many things, particularly foodstuffs, which were more plentiful before the war, In vome communities butter was either not to be . bought, or if available, only in small quantities. Consumers formed lines in front of meat stores when they learned the neighborhood butcher had been restocked. Real scarcity hasn't hit Penn State with its full :force yet ,possibly because this college is situated in. a dairy and farming region. But it threatens 1.0.' Dining commons supervisors, who have done :an excellent job so far in keeping a full table, report difficulty in obtaining meats, butter, coffee and tea bags, to mention a few items. Higher prices are demanding even more skilled manage inent. So far, coeds haven't felt the pinch of war in their diets. Fraternities, however, are learning quickly that 'Uncle Sam has many mouths to reed, and that Yarmer Brown's hired hep has taken a job in a war plant. Some groups have had to limit guests to "special occasions," while others are trying to );ttre what to eat when the proposed point sys• item starts. Canned goods will also be limited.

A Lean and Hungry Look By Milton Dolingee Unheralded, sans expletive and fanfare, we make our 1943 exordium on these pages without any harangue about "may the coming year bring - bountiful blessings unto one and all" • because, well, those things just aren't said anymore. From our reading of the moderne authors- and their gut- - - ter-eyed view of life which we had l Et .L , time to do over the season of good ,• cheer and peace on earth, we acquired ii,.. bl . more or less their attitude of lets_ look - at-the - future - without - any wishy-washy-dreams Ih. - .of-soon-to-be- - realized-tranquility-and_amity. 'We hope it was less. But take heart, •o lone reader of these words this far, in spite of this apparent Schopenhauerism, we have it on good authority from the djinns 'and trolls with whom we nightly commute that quote things are looking tip, Bub end quote—as they put it in their own inimitable way. Or as this month's issue of that little gem of propaganda, "Britain" says quoting none other than an earlier schemer on their white cliffs by name one Napo leon:"There are in this world two powers—the sword and the spirit. The spirit has always van quished the sword." Sic. Having decided to let the future worry about itself, we proceed to the business at hand. As long as we are in this College even if only for the se mester, let's try to make things as normal as pos sible. One of the perquisites of normality seems to be a propensity for what is known locally as "bitching." To b—or not to b—, that is the ques tion. And the answer wafted to us on a sluggish breeze murmurs something about 'a compulsory Phys-Ed program for the students that was ban died about juite a bit last semester, God rest it. We have, however, found our solution. Instead of exercising study-soft thews and sinews in Rec Hall under the jaundiced gaze of muscle_minders, we do several knee-bends and three or four push: ups and after digging our nose out of the moth hole in the carpet, its heigh-ho and away to the Pugh St. Lyceum for a pick-me-up. IMMO Errata: Be it known to all arid sundry that 'the 'Victory Book Drive is now in its incipient stages— and will doubtless without a doubt remain that way unless "all-out for victory" students awake to the fact that here is something really concrete they can do for the armed legions defending home and country.

We she Women 7 There's Work To It e DOne— Coeds Can Do it Perhaps this sounds slightly repetitious, but it seems to take a while sometimes for things to sink in—like the fact that there's war going on. Some people could exert themselves aylittle more to help without interfering with their social life (and studies) too much. Yes, it's the same old cry. Men in the services seem to keep getting injured and needing surgical dressings. They can't sit down and whip off a few between rounds of firing in a jungle or a desert. Coeds, however, should have a little time .to spare—once a week on Thursday at 6:30 p. m. in 112 Home Economics. State College has a quota of Red Cross surgical dressings to be filled, and it's up to the coeds to help fill that quota. There's another thing that the women around here might be a little more interested . in. Six coed defense courses are being offered this semester, courses that will have definite benefit to anyone interested enough to take them. So far, the enrollment has been negligible. Evidently realizing that it takes more than patri otism to get people interested in things around here, credit is being given for them. Still, a few have signed up.

Upon the numerous requests of bee growers for experimentation in bee culture so that better honey production can be assured, assis tant professor of entomology, Ed win J. Anderson, college author ity on• bee culture, has recently been transferred to the position of • assistant professor of agriculture so that he may experiment with the causes that are a drawback to successful honey production. . Experiments by Anderson will be performed in the old power house situated near the Main Agri culture building. Research will be conducted on the effect of humid ity on bees and beehives, and on one of the most 'dangerous of bee diseases, the American foul-brood.
