Staff This Issue Managing Editor News Editor : Assistant News Editor —.— Assistant News Editor Assistant News Editor Assistant Advertising Manager Graduate Counselor Wednesday Morning, January 27, 1943 « Cooperation Military Ball, like most of the other dances scheduled for this semester, ordinarily is a “sec ond semester” dance. However, due to requests from the department of military science and tactics, the affair has been carded for this semes ter and will be held April 30. Orie thing Cabinet requests iit setting the date is that Mil Ball have a campus band instead of an •outside one. The students feel that times like these are not appropriate for big dances every mother weekend, and thus request, that all dances ■except Soph Hop and Junior-Senior Ball use ■campus musicians. To show their cooperativeness,' Cabinet even changed the date of the biggest dancg- of the semester, Junior-Senior Ball, to April 9 so that three weeks instead of two would elapse before the military dance. It would be only fitting now for the military department to cooperate with the •Cabinet recommendation about having a small band. Some advanced ROTC students on Cabinet, those who would be most interested in having a "name” band, weighed the difference between v/hat is best for the reputation of the College with what suits their own interests and decided for a better Penn State. No action has been taken yet, but it is hoped Mil Ball chairmen wilt follow the student recommendation. Dear Froth This is in answer to some filler, the material between both covers, that you had printed in your last disgrace. You mentioned something about alcoholic beverages and connected that vile istuff with the Collegian. The staff members feel hurt abbut having anything said concerning their morals. They consider themselves far better than .'Froth writers in every respect. • Froth needs only two men on its staff. The duty of one is to wield the scissors and cut jokes from the identical issue of ten years ago. He also needs .a can opener to get at the canned stuff Frothy" The second necessary man is the poor ad man who spends his time pestering local merchants for •revenue whilst getting kicked out of every estab lishment. Why he hangs around Doggie’s so much is something which can’t be explained. It is whispered too that Froth is the under ground leader for the gremlins, and runs the black market for gasoline coupons.

Bell said Collegia!' si.iv: feus wh-.c.i A Lean and Hungry Look By Milton Dolinger "War," said Heraclitus," is the mother of all things." And apparent- ly Mother War is raising another minute battle in her already oversize brood. Meaning, of course, the strife the girls, or rather the Women’s Rec- reational Association, is raising anent our foray on White Hall. One maid, by name “Cordelia,” and doubtless without a doubt acting at the behest of WRA, took it upon •herself to an svvei- us' with a letter printed in Sat urday’s Collegian. "Cordelia" means "of Delos"—the “ home of the Delphic Oracle, but in this instance the pseudo-soothsayer was a trifle befuddled. Her paltry arguments in the epistle only prove our point that not enough girls are utilizing the “White Hall Hareem,” so why not throw it open to men. If she had perused last week’s column with any measure of intelligence she would have .seen that we ne’er advocated a “M arch on Rome” to White Hall by the males, but rather a program for that muscle mint such as. Old Main Open Houses have. Perhaps, .if calmer heads would prevail lor the merest nonce, such a program could be worked out, or, at least, considered. 'Tis whispered that one of the muscle minders said that everything in White Hall is just for women. Whati Even the water in the swimming pool? Well, so much pro hac vice, and Shakespeare once wrote about letters such as Cordelia sent us: “She draweth out the thread of her verbosity finer than the staple of her argument.” Cordelia —that’s a GOOD name. ' ' *!< * <(• Last semester, we had occasion to mention an article in “Fortune” about the worth of American colleges and universities in the defense and War effort, and what they are doing about it. Penn State was not mentioned, nay, not even hinted at in that story. Now we know why. Among other things, that' illuminating chapter told how Cor nell—you know,- that College we occasionally imi tate—had done away with all dahice’s for the dufai- Yesierday, vfre read Student Union's social calen dar. This semester, we are to have a Soph Hop, Jr-Sr Ball, IF-Panhel Ball, several Independent dances, and a Mil-Ball; pending. Of course, Cab inet recommended that the war effort be promoted at each of these social events. That makes every thing fine. The boys buried at Bataan would be glad to hear that. Come, Tredwynkle, let us away to “the cup that cheers and inebriates.” My mouth hath a bitter taste. Errata and Addenda: The Great White Chief who resides in Washington will now rest some what easier when he ..hears that the profligate Penn State students will no longer be allowed automobiles. The all-wise omnipotent Cabinet has made this possible. Perhaps Rube Faloon should have been in Cabinet last semester, for we dimly recall his telling us then that if he got oh that august body, he would lobby for Such control. Now, with priorities and rationing and the no pleasure edict, Cabinet’s idea is like putting a combination lock where already there exists a padlock. $ Hi Hi The accolade for timeliness; on the other hand, should be given to the Penn State Players for their choice of “The Moon Is Down” to be pre sented” in February. Steinbeck’s tale of rebellion by a supposedly-conquered people is being borne out in practically every Nazi-occupied country in Europe—and if time is .taken to read the “New York Times” daily, you4vill see that we are right. The Thespians, who are going to attempt a “book” show this time instead of a hackneyed “review” will produce their epic of escapism late in March. And so to bed, or dreams are the stuff of which Colleges are made . . . —Cassiu.s remarks), but the four boys who are left challenge the Foolish staff to a snowball fight two miles out of State College at sundown. Collegian asks for physical combat for it feels well qualified after writing so much about the compulsory phys ed program, and the writers for the best morning paper in Centre County haven’t been violating the gas rationing ruling as Froth time-putters-ii) have.
