College Criminals
Kids will be kids, and college boys will be col-
'J'.'j’e boys, but many imp tricks can now be cut
Fo.r further reference walk through the tratern-
ity section and see how many lights are now
1 Token, or better yet, look through the West Penn
3 'ower Company books and note how many lights
have been purchased for street lamps recently.
Town officials threaten to bring local police
into the picture to nab violators of the borough
ruling. Scarcity of replacement materials, brought
■on by the war, is the main factor behind the plea
to keep the lights burning.
Of a more serious nature are disturbances, such
m; loud singing and excessive noises late at night.
Ordinarily students apprehended for making dis
turbances would be fined immediately upon the
Ji rst violation.
Town council, however, has indicated to All-
Ooilege Cabinet that if the latter governing body
.signifies its intention to cooperate in solving the
problem, and writes Town Council a letter to
that effect, disturbers of the peace would be
■warned before being, fined.
That should be a lesson in gratitude, not an
excuse for getting away with it the first time.
Police can fine the sum of two dollars plus costs
of $3.25 at the first violation, but will ■ punish
first violators with a warning instead. The fine
•will apply after the second distui’bance.
While it is well to consider that-this is a college
town, and a certain amount of horse play can be
expected, it is also well to remember that stu
dents are men and women, supposedly above dis
turbances of the peace. There are no boys in the
army. They’re all men. And since most male stu
dents will be in the service soon they, too, should
be men. Collegian considers coeds'women, and has
.such a hard and fast style rule against calling
coeds “girls,” that it is a slip when that word ap
pears in these columns.
Liet’s cooperate by acting normal. Keep the
peace and spare the fights.
Add A Little Ivy
Wartime isn’t exactly the most opportune time
to suggest something traditional. Staid and sen
timental custom rather takes a back seat during
days like these. And College Tradition is finding
j tself more and more in the scenery. A well-known
magazine article called these the last days for
the old loved college traditions and customs.
Nevertheless, someone suggested a custom
which Penn State might adopt to add a little of
the ivy-covered atmosphere to a campus, which
can boast very little of the Yale-Harvard type of
lore. . .
Wouldn’t it be rather in order if students would
.;how some sort of respect towards Hem-y Var
)mm Poor’s Old Main mural which in itself re
flects more of the original and established Penn
State than any building on campus.
How about Cabinet proposing that every stu
dent and faculty member upon passing Abraham
and his youth either remove or tip his hat. Ges
tures like these seem rather silly at first but if
this idea was given its due time to jell into a
mspected part of Penn State life, it would no
1 >nger appear to be foolish.

A Leanand Hungry Look
By Milton Dolinger
Parlous times are indeed upon Us.
Let alone worry about the Ragnarok
in which we are embroiled, but in
this, a week fraught with bluebooks.
the Gods have seen fit to visit this
so worthy vale with the gentlest of
Spring zephyrs rendering thought of
any sort difficult if not impossible..
(If the day is “typical,” dismiss the
above phrase.) But as certain as the
Aesir will eventually triumph over
the powers of Loki, winter will re
turn to Penn States Anyway the golf
course is not in shape yet.
Mulciber, of late Lucifer's lieutenant, has con
sented to stay with us for awhile, and has agreed
with us that we should fall in with our. brother
columnists who, it seems, are taking it on the
chin from the “higher-ups.” If frere Campuseer,
by grace of example, is able to prove that a cer
tain girl in Altoona did get such a letter from a
certain office on this campus, then doubtless with
out a doubt, explanations will be the order of
the day.
Although the whereabouts of fraternity baubles
have in the past been discreetly hushed up in this
column at least, we greatly disagree with Miss
Melville of the Dean of Women’s office who
writes: “Pinning and dating gossip takes up valu
able space that could be used for something of
universal interest not only to those of us on camp
us but also to our hoys in the service.” It is quite
obvious that the by no means hard to look at as
sistant Dean does not know too much about “out
boys in the service.” It is true that this paper
goes to a great many of them, but do you, kind
reader, think for one moment that “our boys”
■are interested in reading letters in that paper
from other boys in the service as Miss Melville
proposes in place of gossip. If Mulciber can be
trusted, and we think he can, his information
that “our boys” want to read about campus ac
tivities and especially about coeds certainly
shows that they want to forget about the service
—when they read pinning and dating gossip .espe
cially. Well, from there on we’ll let Campuseer
speak in his own defense. And even though ’tis
slightly a sore point with us, the Editor can vouch
that many are the requests that- have come in
asking that we change this bibulous “hungry
look” to a chronicler of “pinning and dating
gossip.” Sic.
Trumpery and balderdash: Carmencita Amaya
and her band of gitanos dropped in the Pugh St.
Oasis after their charming performance t’other
night. . . What we need is more artists like that
who have sense, enough not to pose as though
there was a bowstring tied to their spine. .. . Well,
well, well,, we must not forget to run out and
voe for “King Dogpatch” immediately. But huc
come Paul Woodland and Bob Hicks missed the
ballot. Hicks and Woodland are names right in
the tenor of Dogpatch. . . Cabinet met after our
deadline last night, so we can’t report, what new
“good” they did for the campus, but Dick Mc-
Naul, LA Council guide, told us he was going
to suggest to Cabinet that they sponsor a rabbit
farm to ward off any impending meat shortages
. . . Soph Hop this weekend, remember? Better
telegraph your home beloved that she'll have to
sit out this one, Cabinet frowns on imports . . .
Let’s see now, peas 16 points, green beans 14
points, peaches 21 points, corn . . . oops, mustn’t
shop in public, come on Mulcy, we’ll show you
the town. . . . -

WASHINGTON—(ACP)—By the end of this
year, about 20 per cent of America’s industrial
war workers , will be women—a total of 6 million
of them, according to the War Manpower Com
mission.
In aircraft production, employment of women
is expected to be greater than that of men.
The War Manpower Commission has indicated
that the proposed nationwide occupational regis
tration of women may be abandoned in favor of
an “educational, pi’ogram” to enroll women on a
voluntary basis in specific labor-shortage areas.
Proposed by the Women’s advisory committee
of the Manpower Commission, the new program
would be aimed at women who have never work
ed before. Questionnaires would be sent to women
willing and able to do the type of work involved.
A house-to-house canvas to recruit them would
