Boggy Weaver Assistant Advertising Manager •graduate Counselor ~ Thursday Morning, February 25, 1943 Soph Hop In War Everyone will be walking to Soph Hop tomor row night for perhaps the first time in the history of the sophomore class dance. Each year the big dances have come and gone, with little talk about them afterward except gossip. , Many changes have taken place since the Juni or-Senior Ball last Fall, when it didn’t matter if the import came up in an automobile, nor whether her Penn State boyfriend drove her to the dance. But everyone will be walking tomorrow night. The fellow who doesn’t have a car here will be on an equal footing with the student who does have one, but can’t use it. Gone are the days when an automobile for a big dance was considered almost m “must.” In the few months since the last dance war has made itself felt more and more on campus. Kating places close at earlier hours; no student operated cars can he driven in State College, bas ketballs are used to sell defense stamps; more commodities have beeen put on the ration list. All social events are connected with the war effort, either directly through stamp purchases for admission, or indirectly through eventual ex change for war bonds. Dry dock Unraveled Anyone attempting to follow the story of the reopening of Drydock is doubtless puzzled about the shouts pro and con on the subject. This is an attempt to clear up the turn and turn-about his tory. More than three weeks ago, Bill Cissel, former .manager of Drydock vyhen George Donovan was in charge of the affair, decided it would be a good .idea to start the project again and donate the pro ceeds to some war cause. Cissel proposed an in complete $l7 dollar budget with donated talent, ■and an admisison price of $l.lO. When the budget was referred to the Interclass Finance Committee it was rejected on the grounds ■(.hat it was incomplete, and on assurance could be made that entertainers could be procured as easily as proposed. Many student leaders were against this first set-up mostly because of its uncertain financial basis. .At the last Cabinet meeting Cissel submitted another budget—about $BO more than the first, but more certain to work out. As a result, the plan for the reopening was passed, and a com mittee was named to determine what is a fair price, what nights Drydock should be held, and other items which can be more easily regulated by a small committee than an entire governing body.

For those of you who have never had the misfortune to meet that unpredictable gentleman, the registrar, take it from us, he’s mean when he gets riled, and that he is . . . Penn State has not changed its ad mission policy, and at present, there is no indi cation of such a change, rumor-mongers like us to the contrary . . . The above is the official word. 'Time On My Hands Now, since Hoffman has set us straight on this admission policy, we’d like to point out to his nibs that this paper is not a “house organ,” as he termed it, never has been while the present staff has worked on it, and we doubt very much it the present staff would consent to serve in such a capacity . . . we pride ourselves on publishing a representative college paper, and we’ll wager it will stack up with any other collegiate daily in the country . . . and, contrary to Mr. Hoffman’s belief that we are well-paid, the sum total com pensation per person that that this senior board has received adds up to exactly $6.81 . . . that isn’t much money for three year’s work, and no prospects for future profits. As Usual No doubt the above will draw more irate com ment from the gentleman in question, for he is easily offended, but we have no more space to waste on him . . . we must get down to the job that our subscribers demand, Miss Edith Melville to the contrary. . . . We note the irony in this week’s Froth in pub lishing a picture of Penny Pennell kissing some guy when just a day or so before one of our hon orable colleagues announced that she had ac cepted Larry Chervanak’s pin . . . though we doubt t.hat Dougherty will get quite so mad as some people, we’re going to take a chance and let you in on the rumor that we heard about her serenade the other night . . . the inside dope is that some freshmen she had penalized paid to have the job done . . . but then, something in teresting is always happening at the theta house . . .

They have not shown any interest in seeing mo tion pictures concerning the field of,medicine, or in attending lec tures given by persons who have become successful in the very field which these students supposedly wish to enter. Perhaps one of the reasons why enthusiasm haS not been whole hearted among the students is be cause so many students have not been around to “tasting” a sample meeting. Bluebooks might be an understandable reason for the relatively small attendance, but these meetings begin at 7 p.m. and, because of the curfew, end at 8:30 p.m. Those who wish to show their interest, and to indicate their de sire to have the Pre-Medical So ciety continue these activities, can do so by being present at 110 Home Economics Building at 7' o’clock tomorrow night, when Dr. Enoch H. Adams, chief surgeon at Bellefonte Hospital, will be the guest speaker. Drop-Add Checks Ready Students who have not claimed their refunds resulting from drop adds should obtain them from the Bursar’s office as soon as possible, according to Russel E.
