STATE COLLEGE, PA. Barracks Replace Greek Names By ART MILLER When the weary Bellefonte Cen tral locomotive, with its nine load ed passenger coaches attached, rolled to a stop in the gathering dusk of 7:58 p. m. Monday, it marked the arrival of the first contingent of Army Pre.Pre- Flight men in the Nittany valley. ' After a quick line-up at the station, a short march across campus to the Mall, and a pro longed inspection and drill under the watchful eye of Air Corps and Penn State ROTC officers, the troops were marched to the fra ternity section of town to their new • homes. To the tune of “Wait ’Tin the Shines Nellie” the strode past wide-eyed passers-by and up to Fraternity Heights where eight houses, Phi Kappa Tau, Delta Chi, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Delta Tau Delta, Chi Phi, Kappa Delta Rho, Pi Kappa Alpha and Theta Kappa. Phi were waiting for the flyers. Instead of the familiar Greek symbols marking the houses, the Air Corps had substituted neat blue-and-white signs reading “45 Barracks” or “15 Barracks.” Student Gets Air Corps Bats, Balls After 3 Hours Successor To Tie Free L< The number of men ordered into each house by the gruff com mmand of an officer, ranged be tween 45 in the old Theta Kappa Phi house to 74 for both “43 Bar. racks” and “18 Barracks;” the Tau Kappa Epsilon and Delta Tau Delta residences respectively. Going into one of the comman deered house one could see that the rAmy had lost no time getting the place shipshape. The usual rugs, draperies, soft couches and some of the lamps were missing but the traditional fraternity pi ano and in some cases the victro la were left for Army use. Most of the lounge chairs remained and were arranged along the sides of the room. The fraternity methods of sleeping and studying seemed good enough for Uncle Sam’s fly ers-to-be and were in general ad hered to by the Army authorities. Additional beds amounting to 15 per cent more than the previous house content were installed to take care of the 500 men. Both the suits and dorm systems were used with beds even being more on the first floor of some houses. How T{me Flies Seven and one-half years will have elapsed Saturday since Hugo Bezdek, former dean of the School of Physical Educa tion and Athletics, was given “a year’s leave of absence” by the Board of Trustees, after a student uprising' brought the matter to the board’s attention. PSCA Begins WSSF Drive Thursday Men in prison camps are de pending upon tthe World Student Service Fund to continue their Education. Under , the. auspices of the PSCA the WSSF is sponsoring a drive on campus throughout the month of April, R. Christine Yohe, chair man of the WSSF committee said last night. ■ ■ Several colleges • and universi ties throughout the. nation. have contributed to the • fund, which creates “universities of captivity’’ in prison camps. Many colleges in Europe arid England are. send ing outlined courses and exam inations to the cause. WSSF does not on}y provide for educational needs, buf also medi cal and nutritional needs. Initiating the campaign by sell ing carnations in the Corner Room, the PSCA wiil send repre sentatives to all dormitories . and fraternities to explain the needs and purpose of the WSSF. Donations will be collected di rectly in the PSCA office and through special campaigns, ac cording to the chairman. A STATE COLLEGE Missing from the upstairs rooms was anything not absolutely need ed with the exception of a few Petty drawings and “Rathskellar.” postei’s that the Army hadn’t had the heart to rip down. In the average room there were two double-decker beds, two bu reaus and two study tables and chairs for four men. Neatly stack ed on each bed were two clean sheets, one pillow cover, two re used gray wool blankets and a pillow. To give its men the best of food the Army has worked out an elaborate plan. From the quar termaster Corps in Washington, D. C. each fraternity cook gets a monthly publication known as the “Master Menu.” This super cook book includes everything from instructions for cooking and amounts of both perishable and non-perishable foods needed, to complete menues, one for each meal each day. The Army, through its newly established War Training Mess Office in town, provides cooks with the required amounts and (Continued On Page Three) Debate Honorary Meets Men's Debate Team to Broadcast Over WRAK; Penn State’s men’s debating team will travel to Williamsport' for a novel program Thursday.
