Staff This Issue .I.4Fthaging Editor _ trews Editor Assi3tant Managing Editor _._ Assistant Advertising Manager Graduate Counselor Tuesday Morning, January 19, 1943 Soph Hop Rumors are flying again. But this time they;re not too serious—but still worth metioning. The question on which opinions are varied but facts are few is whether or not there are to be any big weekends planned for this already under way Spring semester. Soph Hop would under a normal social calendar be scheduled for this term—but as yet no one :.:eems to know whether there is to be a normal :;ocial calendar or not. And thus the rumors. All of this should be ironed out by the Student Union Board which is scheduled to meet soon: This group will decide what functions are to be held and will set dates for them. If the Board should favor a Soph Hop it will also have - to decide whether or not a "name band" will be signed to play. Sentiment at present seems to be divided on this question. If a name band is scheduled the weekend will naturally work into an old time, big time involv ing imports, etc. All' of which would -seem to some, .out of place in wartime—rand to others, a •fine opportunity to sell war stamps or to make money for some worthy cause in conjunction with the dance. The Board with the approval of All-College Cabinet, will decide the issue. And it would seem that the sooned they did it—the better for all con cerned. Just one suggestion—if there is to be Soph Hop with name band and all the frills—why not con tact the bands first and set the date afterwards when the best arrangement can be made with the booking agency. Too many past dances had to be :satisfied with second choice music just because the date they picked didn't suit the band they wanted. Whether or not there'll be a "big dance" is a question. But if the answer is yes, why not make it an all-out good one. On The Ball Penn State is definitely becoming more war )ninded. Actions of students in limiting hours and events, pressure for a more extensive physed pro gram, and sale of defensB stamps is evidence of that statement. Additional proof is a discussion of voluntary banning of student automobiles on compus at the Cabinet meeting. Certain student leaders felt such a ban would help the gas situa tion in State College and eliminate a lot of other wise necessary work for 'the Campus Patrol in questioning autoists for pleasure driving. ' Need for the ban was questioned, and all stu dents are asked to observe the extent of student driving on campus. Driving back and forth from college where the residence is within walking dis tance was felt to be an unnecessary use of cars. Penn Staters are taking more war courses; they're scheduling codet classes; they're learning how to draft maps, and they're joining .women's ;ervice organizations serving as auxiliaries to the yegular armed forces. Nearly all the male students :ire in the reserves or are deferred because they have proved to draft boards their importance in college. The College itself has trained thousands of woe workers and non-war workers for more vital jobs war plants, and takes the lead of all the coun i colleges and universities for this extension ‘,./ a r training. This - isn't ;a country club. Penn State i,; doing as much, if not more, thaw any institution.'

The Liberal Arts Council claims .today that it is finally going to get something done. In fact, it has gone so far as to order keys for its members. Away from their original plan of having the coun cil make the purchase, they now plan to purchase them from their own pockets. They have come away from the original plan not by their own choice, though. The change comes in an .edict from a higher-up. .• Fooled 'You . . . . . It seems to be the thing to do these days to take a crack at the proposed physical fitness plan. We decided yesterday we might as well try - to suggest something which would help out the situ ation rather than kick it. Why aren't the 200 pairs of new skates stored in the Armory being put to some use in a recreation plan of some sort? Skat ing is a Fine sport. And the College has the equip ment for it. Ah Youth—!! To get down to something in a little more frivo lous vein, we and our colleagues in ,this column ing racket have noticed much mooning around the Collegian office these days in the persons of our. sports ed, who, we hear, is contemplating some daring, step. That'S- all we could find out about the situation, but our colleagues pledged their loyal support to find out the harrowing de tails before the end of the week. One of his boys, too, looks a little serious about his loye life these days. Mickey Blatz spends most of his time these days in a promotion of one ..Tane McChesney, Theta. He swears they listen to class ical records at the Theta house. Odds And Ends With the -Players in production on the very serious•" The Moon Is Down" Thespians have cided a little more of, the frivolous should soon be added to campus life and are making plans now for production of another show. This one will have a plot rather than being straight revue. The book and its source they won't divulge, but should start some action on it soon, We saw a few books in the Victory Book boxes at Student:Union yesterday and very few in the others around . the campus. There should be a - lot more books that no one wants in .the numerous houses in• which• the students are hanging out these days. never be able to trade them in, anyhow.
