Advertising Manager iiiuduate Counselor _ Thursday Morning, February 18, 1943, Trainees M ’Fraternities "Fraternity houses at Penn State will be used to house the men, it is understood.” Those were the words which appeared in Tues day morning’s Collegian when it was announced . 11 te College had been selected to instruct 500 Army! Air Corps'Cadets for pre-flight training. ! That fraternities will become quarters for these men has been expected for some time, but in-: formation has not been released stating which, houses have been selected for use. Combining of two fraternities will soften the; blow fraternally in many cases, but in other in stances where, fraternity men must move out and; live apart, it will he tougher. > Collegian writes “fraternal” blow because the. new arrangements will help the houses financially, and prevent closing doors or succumbing to heavy mortgages. Even in houses which are now full, and could finish .the semester with balanced books,- the brothers may vote to turn over the house to! accomodate the trainees, feeling that taking ad-, vantage of the opportunity now would provide’ more security for the house than would be the’ case if the house waits. . Ob The 'Mil Ball '.Now that the Mil Ball dance committee has; compiled with requests concerning the signing of a campus band, there is no reason why the committee should not get the green signal to go. ahead with plans to make the day of their event it “big” one. ' Starting with a full parade in the afternoon, the ROTC department will conclude a really mili tary day with the annual Military 'Ball in the' evening. ! If service groups on the campus are asked to' attend, or if they work their recreational pro- 1 gram into that of Mil Ball weekend, the dance,’ may have all the earmarks of a huge military:; event. , Members of the dance committee have coop-! crated in contracting a small band, and as a re- ; ' jiult many others on campus will be willing to! help make Mil Ball the biggest it’s ever been.j; The plan of putting it on a more inclusive basis! l f.cems like a good one, and Collegian extends’ hopes that the committee can make the whole'day; one which will be remembered. Wo Room For Rumors •Rumors: are flying thick and fast. Roomers, too,' it is rumored, may be flying thick and fast. But the best thing to'do when someone whis-, pers in your ear that he’s heard so many million .'■ervice men will be on campus by March, or that,, every student will be in uniform in two weeks, is to subtract about a million from the'figure, and; add a couple weeks to the second rumor. . Seriously, when the facts appear in print in reliable newspapers, or when a responsible col lege official makes the announcement, is the time 1o believe tire stories that go flitting around. ■Collegian news columns have been rather accu rate in covering the whole setup. If you hear a :i omor one day, and the Collegian fails to it within a reasonable time, then it’s quite prob able the story isn’t true. You'll know i when the •air raids ave, and what to do about the sugar j a lion books as well as many other things through ■ibese columns. But don’t Listen, to all those rumor:;,' For the first time in a long time we took the p. m. off yesterday and went to the movies . . . saw Clare Boothe Luce’s “Margin For Error,” but the hit of the show was “A Day Of War,” photo graphed by 169 Soviet cameramen ... if you want an inkling of things which we can barely imagine, go see it ... it beats the news stories all hollow when it comes to telling the magnificent ' story of the Soviet Union’s fight U9_l21 OV Soutt Frazier® St. {Local St.uff Phone 4872 Alice R.

They wanted to start a publica tion which would be made up of any type of creative work done by the students on this campus. It could be short stories, poetry, ar ticles, profiles, or book reviews. These two students told their plan to W. L. Werner of the Eng lish Literature Department and Dr. J. J. Rubin of the English Com position Department. Both of these men thought that this was a good idea and were willing to become advisors on the staff. They offered suggestions and tried to help in every way possible. This was the beginning "of Portfolio. Since that time many students have submitted material and a great deal. of it has been used. Several members of the faculty have served as advisors, each giv ing his suggestions and valuable time to this publication. In the last three years new fea tures have been added to the magazine which have had a spe cific appeal to many people. . .In the past such faculty mem bers as Hummel Fishburn, H. E. Dickson, P. A. Shelley,. J. A. Kerr, W. L. Werner, and T. D. Bowman have written articles and reviews on music, art, and books. •The"staff appreciated these con tributions by the faculty, members because it felt that these men were taking an interest in- a campus ac tivity ... an activity that-offered the students a meahs of -creative expression. , : . . . But . . . after three year's Port folio has not made the. progress that it wanted to; make. The mem bers of the staff feel that hot enough students are taking-an.in terest in this magazine . . . ‘their magazine.'Many of them are 'under the impression that a : contributor has’to be a “professional” in order to- get something printed in Port folio.

This is not true! Many engineer and chemistry students have written fine and informative articles on oil, rubber, and new synthetic products, and yet, not one of these articles has ever-been submitted or published in Port folio. Other students have ‘written short stories, poetry and profiles in their various composition courses, yet seventy-five per Cent of this material has never been seep by members of the staff. is this? , , Each and every piece;of mater ial submitted is read 'and'-evalu ated v by the editorial' Staff.'
