(Continued from Page One) rooming quarters. Then in two weeks they will have to move again into some other fraternity with fellow advanced ROTC students. And about jftve .weeks from that date .they are scheduled for a vacation as the semester closes. .. .Why. couldn’t they-retain their present status, until-the-end of the-semester, then move? t And why, since they will still be regularly en rolled students at the college, should they give up sports when no substitute atheltic program is •planned? Army officials have publicly stated that they believe competitive sports are the best forms .of exercise. Yet they would turn about and de clare that advanced ROTC students are to be bar red from competition—and with only five weeks •left in the semester as it goes into effect. Reading the sports column should give addi tional arguments-on the athletic side of the pic ture. But the Collegian also is openly asking why •these fellows, still our classmates and expected ■to follow the same routine, should be moved at •all? • 1 That would have eliminated the abandonment of several fraternities, and have caused less in convenience along fraternity row. It means that first the boys will have to adjust themselves to living in.new.quarters under their present setup as Penn State students, then, get used to living at the'same place under stiffer Army regulations after this semester. . Collegian would like to see something done about this whole matter. Especially when the move seems so unjustified: Couldn’t the area headquarters of the War Department be contact ed and enlightened about the situation which is •being created at Penn State? Is the Army so hard-boiled that it won’t listen to what is mere ly common sense? Ask anyone on campus what be thinks of the situation, and he’ll reply, too, that moving before the close of the semester seems unwise. , This paper hopes that these opinion will be taken constructively. The Collegian isn’t radical. )'t believes in doing things that are sensible, that are for the common good, and which will help Penn State. ; • Can’t something be done about this situation? Hello Spirit’ In about a week, Penn State will be playing host to about 1,000 new guests in the Army Air Corps Cadets and the men under the Army Spe cialized Training Program. We. here at State, have always pride dourselves on being known far and wide for our “Hello Spirit.”' As of yet nothing has been done about planning, a, welcome for the newcomers. At one nearby school a delegation of students and townspeople waited three days for the- arriv al of. the.new soldierlguests. When they’did ar rive, they were greeted with the song of their branch of the service, and escorted to thier bar racks by a baqd and a ROTC color guard.' - V .We have the facilities at Penn State to do thei same thing next week when the Army, comes to' State College. With the Advanced unit, Pershing Rifles, and the Blue Band turning out to greet them, a warm welcome could be given the boys. Remember it’s always the first impression of any place that stays with you.

It will, continue to offer eveiy de tail of regular College life to gov ernment change and the nation's war program. Administration officials feel that, through their .extended coopera tion with federal regulations to day, they will be able to maintain a College' status during the war and be in existence in post-war days to contribute. to a peace. They are doing it for the gov eniment-TT-y.es.

There is a definite trend by other bands to the Lunceford style, at testing to the great success of his music. It bears out the tradition in the music business that a dance •band really arrives when its style is copied. Critics and trade paper writers have discovered a well marked trend among such “name” bands as Charlie\ Spivak’s, Sam Donahue’s and Sonny Dunham's, to imitate the Lunceford style.X. - The;;; ' Member : of ■' Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 1943, the College and especially Cor the women of the institution who Will not have to leave for government service. ’ But, according to a recent-Col legeTwide survey, only 700 - coeds of our 1500 have indicated their intentions to return for the Sum mer semester.
