They Think Not
An American flag, brightened by the ‘ setting
Bun, creeps' slowly down a silvery pole as the
jbugler sounds “Retreat,” A pale blue sky forms a
Jpleasant background for the scene as swelling
Luds and refreshening grass hint that Spring has
icome. The cool air flutters the symbol of freedom
steadily dipping earthward, and fans the small-
standing at attention.
But while this revered event is taking place
there are others , who walk complacently by, or
jhurry past lest, they be two minu'tes late getting
to the restaurant. ‘ .
■ Yes, it’s Penn State we’re speaking of. At 5:15
•p, m. every - day. There actually are persons on
this campus who ignore the ceremony of lower
ing 'the colors.
Every patriotic American knows that there are
certain customs which should be observed. When
•the National Anthem is played in public, for in-,
stance, the American knows he should stop, face
'in the direction of the music, remove his hat, and
stand at attention. At flag raising or lowering
.ceremonies, too, as the bugle plays reville, or re
treat, respectively, he again should stop, face the
Hag, and stand at attention. Men in service salute.
: We don’t know whether this failure to pay at
tention to “.Retreat” is from pure ignorance of
customs, or from plain indifference.
Whatever the case, it should happen no longer
• When you’re walking down the mall at 5:15 p.
).ti. and the flag ceremony is taking place—stop.
Face the flag. Stand at attention. If in uniform,
salute. If you notice someone ignoring the pro
cedure, just hope down deep that he isn’t a stu
dent at Penn State, for no good Penn Stater is
rude to his country.
$4,000 To Go
'Penn State’s Red Cross drive is in its final week
with only slightly over $l,OOO of the $5,000 goal
-realized in collections so far. No estimate can be
made as to what the final week’s contributions
will bring the figure.
If you have not already contributed —do so now.
This campaign is a Penn State students’ pro
ject. And as Penn State students develop the pro
ject so will Penn State students receive credit.
.Students and students only are being solicited.in
the campus'drive. Faculty and staff employees are
all being contacted through the town coirupittee.
. If the derive does not reach its quota, the blame'
can hardly go to,-the committee conducting the
<lrive. Recent shufflings of quarters in town has
knocked the bottom out of a lot of the established
soliciting machinery. And regardless, it is each
student’s obligation to make his contribution. vol-"
untarily rather than being solicited.
. The Red Cross will come to you when you are
in need. Now the Red Cross is in need. Won’t you
rorne to it?
f’etin State topped its quota in the Red Cross
campaign during the last war. Isn’t that an in-
centive?

Clever Comments
tuillliinillllllllimillllllllllllllllllllllllllßy FRED E. CLEVER
Tradition has it that when a Collegian column
ist inserts his last column, he either pays homage
to his many friends on campus—if it can be said
that a Collegian columnist has any friends—or he
writes all of those things .which he has been
wanting to write for four years.
It goes without saying that we must have liked
something about this place or we would Tiever
have stayed here this long. On the other hand,
those who have occasionally r6ad our column
know that we have done endugh bitching for one
college career. There just isn’t much more to say.
Our case differs, too, somewhat irofea the usual
run of last-column-writers. .Instead of a diploma,
we’re getting an induction notice.
Surprise!
Dick McNaul was astonished. Polly Keller was
mystified, and Polly Tressler was angry when
they read yesterday’s Collegian. Mr. Kimmel re
ported a forthcoming McNaul-Keller nuptial.
Wrong Polly.
Chapter Room
We hear that some of the local fraternity presi
dents are breathing a sigh of relief now that it has
been decided that booths will be available for
fraternity groups at Junior-Senior Ball.
' Now they can get enough fellows together to
have, a house meeting.
Finis
While -we were trying to figure , out how to fill
out the remainder of the space alloted. to this
column, the editor handed us a latter. To a
Collegian columnist, a letter—even a letter of
indignation—is highly cherished. We know then
someone is reading our stuff. '
This particular letter, however, was especially
welcome. Kinter, Kimmel, and Dolinger ha’qp,
during the course of the year, ieceived occasional
■letters commending them on ” their’’ reasoning,
breadth of knowledge, or some other intangibleV
Not so with us. Nothing ever came through blit
acid little notes, suggesting that we hold oiir head
Under - water. Frankly, we had just about given
up hope. ■ ■ . , v,'
The letter, concerned our column of last week
which tried to vindicate members of the Student
Housing Board. Our correspondent—a member of
the administration —did the most unusual thing—
hp agreed with-us.
Somehow it makes us feel better about leaving
this job.
