Assistant Advertising Manager Herbert Hasson 43rnduac« Counselor Tuesday Morning, February 23, 1943 Kation Anniversary As the only possible means of entrance to the ,".e.eond rationing registration in the Armory from 1! to 5 o’clock today, students must show their first ration book which will identify them and then be returned for further means of obtaining r.ugar, shoes and coffee. Students will save time by taking a filled-in OPA form R-1301 from Student Union to the reg istration. They will have little to write on the ) hanks, which can also be obtained at the regis tration. They will merely indicate the amount of canned goods and coffee on hand in November 1342, and the number of persons for whom they are providing. District OPA officials have requested that the College emphasize that students should apply for their second book in person and should not have parents do it at -their respective home ration board offices. The College is arranging the registration at its own expense for the convenience of the student body in cooperation with the district OPA office in Williamsport. After the actual registration, for Ration Book No. 2, which will take place at alphabetized booths set for certain hours during the day, stu dents must get their books validated before they will be of value. Directors of the rationing’ division pointed out lust night that a person registered must go to the booths at the north end of the Armory to re ceive a validation stamp on the front of his book. The double-paged booklets, which will provide for canned goods rationing and further clothing limitations, are the last to be distributed for some time, according to local authorities. In order that the complicated process and ex tended rationing schedule will take place as quick ly and smoothly as is possible, students ai - e asked 1o follow the set-up program closely. Anyone not able to apply for his second book at the time stip ulated may go to the Armory at another free time today. The booths will be open through the noon hour. Air Corps Quandry When can I expect to be called? How much longer will we be permitted to stay in college? These are typical questions of students in the A.ir Corps Reserves, who have heard so many different stories, and have learned so much about •what has happened to their fellow Air Corps Re serves recently, that they are in a quandry what to do. Many of them have been, given instruc tions to stay within eight hours notice of'home. Othei-s have been called up. As in many other cases of this sort, the trouble probably lies in the Air Corps itself, which pos sibly doesn’t have definite plans for calling up the rest of the Air Corps Reserve. Cf tire Air Corps officials know when these stu dents will be called up, or how, or the answers some of the other puzzlers, Collegian hopes Ui-y wili bare them soon.

You know, it’s surprising how that little item brings out the best in a college town. Guys and Gals out lollygagging aitjund the camp us, making with the tender looks and stuff. We can’t help thinking, though, about the prospect ol a big weekend coming up. What with so nice a weekend as has just passed, marred only by a little rain Saturday night, the idea of a typical Penn State big weekend with hurricanes and snow flurries, with maybe a little fog and smoke thrown in, kind of makes things look a little black. But there are always the things'which bring the joy back to a big weekend. Gas ration ing will no doubt cut down the trips to Bellefonte to purchase the joy, but we are in favor of ad dressing the National Ration Board to see if that’s a matter* 1 of IMPORTANT business rather than just mere pleasure. Here’s our best for a great weekend, though, comes vain or snow or what- Columnist's Heckler We see by one of last week’* Collegians that one of our compatriots in this columning business has come under the scrutinizing eye of our one time admirer (?) Registrar Hoffman. Late reports on the matter have it -that said columnist, the Campuseev, is about to be sued for libel if he can’t produce the letter from the registrar. Carripy has our best wishes. He’ll probably need them. We find that the Registrar is a rather formidable foe. Rocks And Stones Despite the fact that life on the romance front has appeared rather dull for the last week, we were able to .glean a few little items here and there. Essie-Campbell Kappa has announced her engagement to Chuck Scarborough Phidelt. The hearts and flowers department also announces that certain judies around here are wearing of late some guys’ fraternity pins. It brings with the announcement the word that Betty' Griffiths The ta is wearing George Eamshaw’s DU badge, Penny Pennell has Larry Chervenak’s Theta XL jewelry, and Betty Highland Kappa is now the jjroud pos sessor of Bud Rutherford’s Sigma Pi pin. Addenda Over the weekend we bade farewell to one of the better known characters from around the col ege. Katey Popp, journalist, playwright, and gen eral odd-job-man around the campus, left for Pitts burgh from which place she will move to New York in a couple weeks to make her fortune in the drama business.

Pinning and dating gossip takes up valuable space that' could be used for something of universal in terest not only to those of us on campus but also to our boy's in the service. This column seems especially ineffectual when, as in today’s issue, it feeds the momen tum of rumors on campus by tel ling of a prospective freshman whose application was- returned to. her marked “no _more -for the duration,” In the first place, no office on campus would write such a thing on an application. Second ly, Mr. Hoffman states on the first page that 600 freshmen will be enrolled for the summer semesterl I should likj to compliment the writer of the editorialNO ROOM FOR -RUMORS, but why doesn’t he check on the rumor in the adjacent column? Many newspapers throughout the country are featuring columns of letters from the boys' in the service. These letters are of great interest to the friends they left .■behind, whether they knew them personally or not. Since the COL LEGIAN is being sent to so mdny boys in the service, .such a column Would help to keep them inform ed of their friends’ activities in distant services. Sincerely yours, Edith Melville Assistant to Dean of Women main in effect throughout March, although they could be raised or lowered at any time. At the end of the month the OPA will an nounce the values for April, which may be the same or dif ferent. s>&£pin»
