FOX “I wanna lick stamps,” Rube M. Faloon, big man about campus and chairman of the Red Cross lick ’em for victory campaign, sobbed last night in an exciusive-to-the- Collegian interview. With tears falling into the bas ket of bills on his desk and a catch in his voice, the most elig ible bachelor who isn’t one told the sad story of the Red Cross on ca^npus. “Cissel made the drawing of the Axis boys and we promised. we’d cover it with Red Cross stickers and it’s got to be covered and it isn’t getting covered and if we don’t cover it we’ll look foolisb and so people have to give more dollars so that tye can lick more stamps,” Rube explained. A count of the bills in the basket , revealed that the total at present is- something like - $2,000. The • counting, however, involved some • the Collegian reporter, since Fa .. loon, like ordinary people, has only 10 fingers. .“I .have licked only 900 stamps,” R.M.F. revealed dully, sticking out his tongue so we .could see the blisters. “To.get them covered I’ll have to lick 1;000 more and I can’t do it till people kick in with the extra money.” v .

Echoes Over Campus (Late Bulletin—lt came back!) Bill Cissel, former All-College champion party thrower on a small scale who has gone in for bigger, things in the way of Dry Dock, again sent a frantic appeal in his Collegian communique last night for somebody, anybody, to let him know the whereabouts of his pet and star, a red Chow puppy. .

My, how time does fly— April 1 has actually arrived— hasn’t it? i Today a very serious affair was [brought to my attention. It con cerns five young ladies who went to the Doggies. A very painful subject, this, as'l ‘am forced to de ‘ icide- upon their' fate. I can see myself spending many sleepless nights while the pro battles the ! con in my mind. To set an exam ple to other animal lovers—the cul prits should be expelled. I do hope 11 come to the right decision. Successor To The Free Lance, Established ISS7 OF TflE PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE Staff Has Last Fling Before Service Calls Deplete Ranks; Few Toasts, Many Roasts Tody’s issue of the Daily Collegian is more than a traditional women’s issue. It’s a busman’s holiday for the entire staff. It doesn’t indicate, as it has in the past, that women have been held back, that they have been limited to writing for one page, or that they don’t have the opportunities to act as daily managing or news editors. Changes made in the current semester have brought about a situation exactly suiting the desires of coeds all through Col legian history. This issue is the last of one series and. possibly the first of an ther. Bugle calls and service summons have put Collegian among the the ranks of Ibose that war has reversed so completely. Women will necessarily be editing the. pa per alone in the near future. The staff put put a paper as usual; But they did it against all rules, regulations, and good- na tures of campuseers. Forgive them. It’s a last fling before war really strikes the entire male staff down. Ned's WSSF Drive Bursts Forth Today By GLO WHYEL April 1 marks- the beginning of spring showers and also the begin ning of a drive for showers of donations for the World Student Service Fund. Yeah, the PSCA’s sponsoring this, too. PSCA executive bored with G. B. Maxwell Stein holding .the gavel, WSSF committee members and also Pete and Ned have, been for tile shell to explbde "so they could spout forth fast and furi ously about the WSSF campaign. Plans and programs have been revised and rewritten for two months, and now the great day for fools has arrived: Through the WSS Fund, men in prison camps and students from' bombed universities may keep 1 digging in and continue their edu-1 cation. Examinations (those little books with blue covers) are do nated from ' leading universities throughout Europe .and England. All- contributions will aid Amer ican boys, who were drafted while perusing knowledge, to get their degrees. : : j . Ned said he wants all men (if that is what they ..are called) to buy fed carnations:;in the Corner :Room/today for their favorite co eds'. The red carnation is the symbol of the campaign, so rush to buy one and provefyou are a loyal WSSF contributor./ ■: After returning.\from an inspec tion tour of Engineering G; I found several adjutants/waiting to dis cuss the latest : , problems concern ing the pre-pre-pre flighters, new est influx on campus, you know. •Do you remember the first lines of their theme song? “Off we go into the wild blue yonder . . .” Charming, isn’t it? I seem to hear that tune constant ly. Must be spring fever. Must dis cuss this in “My Daily Half Col yum.” . : Solicited for jjtfi-s. Hetzel’s loan fund outside the; Corner Room this afternoon. At tea .with Myrtle Ma Gargle, I reviewed the .history of Centre Hall. I had a long discussion .with Mr. Ebert concerning the big stink raised by one of his ground crews. What a day! : By JANE H. MURPHY, Editor This Issue It was a joint fling. The gals gave the orders and' wrote the big stories and the men printed what they’ve been kidding the women about these past months. They met coed leaders, interview ed woman directors, made fun of .-female for' a' ride. Few are the toasts and many the roasts, but t day is All Fools’ Day and the Daily Collegian staff ain’t proud. Lunceford Will Knock 'Em Dead At Bali Sez Hicks & Swope Attention, music lovers! Carl P. Swope, one of the star studded actors who helped slit Walt Price’s throat in one of the biggest shows this campus has ever seen, and Bob (no.'compensation) Hicks proudly present Jimmie Lunceford and his orch. in what they say is the last big dance of the year. Jimmie Lunceford with his fa mous tempo de hep characterized by a dashing tail gate smudge pomp, smear swing out with stuff that is solid in the gutter or groove, ’tis said. - The famous Dixie Land Draf .tees will play tmusic that will make listeners want to clap their, hands wildly—against Lunceford’s face. Lunceford has played in such noteworthy spots as. the Rio Dance Room in Atlas, Pa.; Joe’s Jivin’ Joint in Ramshankle, Kansas; and has even entertained at the Kappa Theta Omega formal initiation dance. Swope and Hicks feel that hav ing Lunceford here is one of the greatest steps forward that Penn State has made since coeds were given regular hours. The co-chairmen invite all those who enjoy dancing to the tune of four dollars per to the affair. Those who can’t dance are- asked to attend the Penn State Club dancing classes (see page 4).

Navy will appreciate April Fool games, so this is the only news we're giving you straight, kids* Can you take it? Army A-12 and Navy V-12 ex ams will be given in 121 Sparks for names from A-R, and in 109 Ag Building for names from R-Z, at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning, Robert E. Galbraith, FAWS, an nounced yesterday. Admission will be by identifica tion application blanks which are obtainable in 243 Sparks no later than 5 p.m. today. Navy V-l. V-7 Only about 10 of the 50 men in, Naval V-l and V-7 programs have reported to 243 Sparks to get their orders for immediate action from, the Navy Department, Galbraith also stated. . .£hose who do not pick up their 1^i ®Sss■‘'ti6i^^ subject to reprimand by Naval authorities if the blanks are not returned as ordered.

Gee, kids, you’ve got to stop be lieving these dreadful, nasty ru mors, that’s all. Wally “Cheerful” Murfit really made out. Big Stuff Faloon put him in charge of Caps and Gowns for the senior class. Not that he has any pull with the big shots or anything evil like that but $7O is enough to pay anybody’s house ■bill at the DU house. ’Course, there isn’t any more DU house, so it’s all .o.k. Harry “Creepy” Coleman'is-go ing to see that, all seniors .send invitations .to all their fond rela tives. That is a plenty, tough" job and for his efforts he will profit $6O worth. But everything is . all right about that ,too, ’cause he married and quite possibly prexy wanted to make sure the rent was paid. See, kids, everything is on, the up and up just like in other years. Now then there is the Lions Coat committee and their duty is to -see that . . . Well, anyhow they have a big job ahead of them. Walt “Sexy” Gerson, Jerry “Victory Garden” Heisler, Richard “Ad Crazy” Marsh, James “Theta"’ Loughran, and Shirley “Tsk, Tsk” Tetley are just a few who will see that the $lOO given to that com mittee is used to best advantage.
