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.
Froth came out today. To say anything else
dh'ufc matters of low levels is to take up valuable

Since we wrote our last column we’ve had
more trouble than enough . . . and us with none
but the sweetest thoughts . . . 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 . . . Bud Casselberry sac says that Cabinet
can frown till they have wrinkles, but he is hav
ing two imports in, one for him, and one for
another fellow
Competition
Just like bees -around honey are the boys around

Flower College, Miss. . . . her roommate is just
as cute, we hear . . . and if that signal corps man

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Dear Editor
It puzzles the members of the
Pre-Medical Society and a number
of faculty members associated with,
the society that there has not been
a greater desire on the part of the
Pre - Medical Students, Medical
Technologists, Pre - Dental Stu
dents, and Bacteriologists to take
advantage of the opportunities of
fered to them. 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. Clark, Col
lege Bursar.

often Coke is mentioned? Boys write
home about It, toq. They like the
taste that sets Coca-Cola apart.
They welcome that feel of refresh
ment. Coca-Cola must remind them
of home a lot. It reminds you to
refresh yourself."
