F- OF THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE Services lo Gain By 'Lincoln Ball' President Hetzel Named To New Army Committee 'Prexy' “Prexy” Ralph D. Hetzel once more gained national fame with his appointment to a committee of 10 college presidents who will counsel and assist in the direction of the new Army ' program for training some 200,000 men in the country’s colleges. PRICE: THREE CENTS Group Will Counsel, Assist in New Program President Ralph D. Hetzel has been appointed as a member of a committee of 10 college presidents to counsel and assist in the direc tion of the new Army program for the training of some 200,000 men in the colleges and universities of the country by Major General J. A. Ulio, the Adjutant General. ' The new program will be under the direction of Colonel Herman Beukema, Director of the Army Specialized Training Division. First meeting of the committee will be held in Washington, D. C., Tuesday and Wednesday, February 2 and 3. At this time the Advisory Committee will review the reports of many specialized committees of educators and Army officers who have been working on various phases of the program for the past several weeks. Although no further information has been obtained as yet as to just what the exact plans for service men the Army lias in hand for the colleges and universities, it is be lieved that these men will prob ably be sent to the educational in stitutions as a result of screening tests which they will take upon c completion of the regular 13 weeks of basic training ail .men .have,to., take - at' the start of-their careers. Service men who are found to be adept in certain fields will probably be sent to leading col leges to receive training in those vocations, and upon completion of the course will possibly be sent to an officers’ candidate school where they will receive commissions as second lieutenants. While receiving their training at colleges, the selected men will receive Army private’s pay and will be housed in barracks, prob ably converted dormitories. Students 'Dig In As Snow Reaches Height Of 9 Inches Although many students had a little difficulty believing it was really showing yesterday morning, their impressions soon became a reality as they tried to wade through the ankle-deep snow that covered every path leading to classrooms on the campus. ■Nine inches of “flakes” was •enough to bring out the snow plows and resound the “chug chug” of the gasoline motors over the campus. ' The heavy snow gave the winter sports fans an opportunity to use their new skiis and skates which many had not tried since receiving them as Christmas presents. Tennis courts which were al ready flooded were made available for the ice-skating enthusiasts who flocked to the rinlcs during the evening skat’ng session. Fraternity houses put up their best “throwers" as they engaged in snow fights from noon till night. Several houses suffered from the snowball warfare, and were as sured of air-conditioning during the night. Yesterday’s snow was appropri ate to the winter season, having no comparison to the freak fail of last March when Palm Sunday church, goers were greeted with 30 inches of snow. At that time it was a change from the Easter bonnet to the fur coat, but today the vogue is clothes—and lots, of them, too!
