Driving Clarification
Students may drive cars to and from State Col
lege “when they are making trips home. That is
the latest clarification of the student automobile
ruling after a check with, the OPA district office
in Williamsport revealed that such driving is per
mitted under national regulations. Since then,
however, the OPA has put car owners “on their
honor” not to drive for pleasure.
But in State College, the student ruling still per
sists that no driving be done at all. In other words,
when a person drives his car from home to Penn
State,.he must not use it again in town until he is
ready for the next trip home. The
was made at the last meeting of All-College Cab
inet when it was learned that a complete ban of
situdent automobiles could not be enforced,- al
though that has been the practice at many other,
colleges, even in peacetime.
Enforcement of the present ban will be under
Utudent Tribunal jurisdiction. Any violations
.should be reported to this group. . -
Penn State Leads Salvage
Penn State was given another pat on-the back
. for- its help in the war effort when the salvage
: division of the War Production Board praised this
' College' for its participation in the fats salvage
: campaign, and urged other colleges to step up
iheir fat collection.
Appealing through an article by the American
. Collegiate Press from Washington, the fats divi
sion commented that the fats salvage campaign to
• date has yielded only one-fourth of the fat needed
to make glycerine for Allied gun powder, gun re
coil mechanisms, ships’ steering gears, depth
charge releases, and medicine.
Ohio University, Hollins College, and the Col
lege of Home Economics at Cornell were also
cited for outstanding work in fats collection.
Collegian urges living groups which have been
salvaging fats to continue the practice, and to help
spread the good work by getting others to render
all meat trimmings, including table scraps. Penn
Htate has been recognized as a leader in fats sal
vage participation, but only by increasing the col
lection can it maintain its enviable leadership.
Fraternity Adjustment
.Adjustments are always necessary in wartime,
;md Penn State is no exception.
Present changes are being brought about by the
Army pre pre-flight training students who will
move into more than half of the fraternities, come
the end of this month.
Men whose houses will be taken over have to
find other living quarters for the rest of the se
mester, and longer if their.status permits them to
<;tay past May. Many will move to other fraterni
ties which for the present have to make no
changes. Still more will move into rooming houses
throughout the town and live side by side with in
dependent men.
Naturally fraternities will not be as well knit as
they are now because of probable widely scat
tered membership. It will be harder to call house
meetings. Collegian will always be ready to pub
lish notices of meetings, but it will still be a far
fry from the “old” days.

By M. J. WINTER
With the exception of a few individuals who
took extended vacations, students have returned,
battered, weary, and generally in bad shape after
spending hours in trains and busses standing or
sitting in aisles or baggage cars. It might be a
good idea if in, the future the College authorities
would notify transportation companies about va
cations. With the extra drain from the service
men it. really brakes a problem to have several
thousand extra students dumped on them. One
train conductor who has been working on the
choo-choos for thirty years said Tuesday was the
worst day he ever experienced. Many students
felt the same way.
Moving Day . . .
Home was never like this—not even in the May
and October exoduses all over the country.
There’s a rumor being whispered about that a
few of the fraternity men are going to have to
seek new quarters within the next few days. Tents
will probably appear on Holmes field and the drill
fields to accommodate the dispossessed Greeks.
Picture Spring houseparty imports in a setup like
that . . . The ROTC boys, too, are in for a big
change. Coed hours will seem like Utopia com
pared to the impending regulations. Have fun,
boys, doing your setting-up exercises before sun
rise.
Romance , Inc . ...
Before the further curtailment of- social life
around the Nittany Valley sets in, pins, rings,, and
other tokens of romance have been changing
hands. Going back to. the happenings before

Fraternities Move
(Continued from Page One)
“This; we all realize, is a time
of universal sacrifice,” President
Hetzel said in concluding. “Our
opportunity to share is just open
ing up to us. From now on we
shall participate in increasing
measure. Penn State made a proud
record during the last war and I
am sure she will do it again.”

Army will vacate their houses by

gram who will arrive" oh’ campus
soon. . !
. As the 19 fraternities prepare
for next week’s mass evacuation,
the lack of housing and eating
facilities is still largely an un
solved problem.
Approximately one-half of the
probable evacuees still have been,
able ,to make no definite arrange
ments for rooms, according to a
Collegian poll conducted yester
day. Almost two-thirds of the fra
ternity men concerned still have
no idea of where they will eat
after next Wednesday.
Probably best fitted to meet the
emergency situation, the survey
indicated, will be Lambda Chi Al
pha, Delta Sigma Phi, and Alpha
Tau Omega, who will be able to
keep their membership virtually
intact.
Lambda Chi Alpha’s members
plan to move into their, former
fraternity house;- Delta Sigma Plii
has' rented two private roosting
houses'; and Alpha Tau Omega is
migrating en masse to Locust Lane
Lodge, the property- of Pile of the

Several of the fraternities not
yet involved in the coming Army
entrance have offered to accept
certain of the outgoing fraternity
members on a room-and-board.
basis, but in no case has the entire'
membership of an • “evacuating”
fraternity been able to move into
another house.
Fraternity presidents asked to
comment on the sudden move were
generally of the same opinion. “We
are willing to 'cooperate, we imag

none of us had any idea it would,
happen so soon,” was the stock
