State College's Independence (brawl) Carnival on the surface served only to thickly populate the business section last Saturday night and we were unable to dig up any new dirt from this—the weekend's biggest social event. Business Looks Good We understand that throngs of the lovely coeds were disappointed when the usual USO dance in the Armory gave way to the down town jamboree. Looks promising for Rec Hall Fun Night tomorrow for all you lonesome air cadets, engineers, gobs, marines—and we almost forgot—our own Advanced Rotisse (those not already anchor ed). t While we're on this subject—we just . heard an ugly rumor that magnanimous foot trouble (viz., big feet) was "largely" responsible for , r a slight delay in the return of for mer AA prexy and able WSGA 4 critic—we're natcherly NOT men tioning any names, but his initials are George Pittenger. Give Us Sum New Gals Soon as we get all our local G-54, B-19, etc., operators at work we're expecting to uproot lots of entanglements from our myriads of women's irbtips on campus campus such.as ' : the Frosh (but— pleez not befoi4'the end of your three-week no-dating' period—we hope!), upperclassrnen, ,Curtiss- Wright and Ham Prop gals, sum mer session vacationers—(?)—and who knows, maybe ,the faculty or Dean's staff. 1111111111111111111111H1111111111111111111111111 The CAMPUSEER 111111111111111111i111111111111111111111111111111 Next * week, time elections will be almost over and Penn State I will again have a governing body ~'to carry on the traditions of stu dent government. The new war time code forbids political parties, so as to encourage more individual participation in government. So now, instead of plugging parties, the emphasis seems to be placed . .?in another direction just as unwel 1, come. Note For . . . Candidates now in the field are campaigning for votes on the basis of their enrollment in a certain school. Students can see how un wise this is, for the issues decided by the governing body are not be /ttween schools, but are rather leg- Mslation covering the entire stu 'dent body. Ability to do this job '1 -should be the prime consideration Ifor any candidate, not the mere I ..fact that he is an ag student, an .4bngineer or a liberal arts student. i Activities, all-around interests, and, needless to say, a wide circle of friends are all up in, the top brackets when qualifications are discussed. itchYourWagon... The Penn State Engineer hasn't itched its wagon to a star, but it 'ias tied onto a very successful dvertising campaign. Results ;how that circulation has increased nore than 100 per cent since the .41resent staff took office.

QT tells us Dotty plans to middle aisle it with some unknown lucky man after a whirlwind romance lasting all of approximately seven weeks! You Can't Let Us Down! We're at a loss for words as we hear that the air cadets and en gineers have flatly refused to raise their lovely voices in song as they go through campus. Of course, the College has something to say about the 7:20 a.m. serenade (over which we're admitting there is no tear shedding!) but we most de cidedly hate to see this small bit of morale-lifting be shattered com pletely—and we believe we're speaking for a majority, so let's not be bitter (sweet) fellows! 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 808 K.IMMEL 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 of the classe - s in the school. Some of the articles in last semester's issues would have put a real hu mor magazine to shame. We hear tell that the new one has a good one about the "Lipstick Coeffi- dim t." - And the idea of printing an ar ticle each month by someone out side the field has helped a lot to build reader interest. Edits are no longer cut and dried but bring to light some 'of the more"' burning questions that should be giving a lot of engineers a mental hotfoot. In Cadence, Count... Sooner or later we get around to the military students. This time we report that the most "pleasing leader, we mean to the ear, of all the groups that have passed our house, is the one .who leads some marines. He has a different chant from the others, and he doesn't sound as if he were going to bust something any minute. It's more like plainsong or a chant with rising and ;falling inflections. In fact, it's so good, we're advising yOu to listen for it some time. Some of the boys have been around to see about a job on this outfit, but their lack of too much free time handicaps them some what in competition with civilian students. But we are doing our level best to work out a plan whereby our uniformed candidates can write about their own groups, and do their work that way. And while we're on the subject, we want to point to the column this issue with news about Penn Stat ers in the service. It's going to be a regular if we can keep track of the 'boys. It's A Snap . . . We were down in the engineer ing unit a couple of weeks ago watching the aircraft girls swing ing their hammers at the anvils in the forge shop and thought to our •selves, pietty soft. 43ut -we changed THE COLLEGIAN CAMPUS CALENDAR TODAY • Final for majors in reading, 307 Burrows, 2 p.m. Final examination for majors in elementary education, 307 Bur rows, 3 p.m. Council on Recreation and Welfare meets, in the Trustee's Room, at 4 p.m. SATURDAY • Final examination for majors in secondary education, 307 Burrows, 8 p.m. Riding Club meets, stock judg ing pavilion, 2 p.m. PSCA Cabinet meeting will . be held in the Hugh Beaver room, 2:30 p.m. An Open House will be held in the Westminster Foundation from 3 to 4:30 p.m. House of Representatives will hold nominations for Atherton representatives in the respective lounges, 10:05 p.m. The department of home eco nomics of the summer session will present a forum featuring John E.

The pur po'se of this council is to integrate nine different categories of men and women now on campus into one unified group. our minds last week when we scheduled the same course and took a turn at the forge. Believe us, it's anything but clean, cool, refreshing work. The fire heats you as well as the stock, and the coal dust gathers, too. But there is a sense of satisfaction in creating something with your own two hands, even if they are blistered for a while after. Desert Territory .. For the first time in the history of the earliest inhabitants, the Skellar ran out of brew last Sat urday night. Confusion was the order of the evening, and the line formed to the right for the bar. If any more crowds of people come to town like that one, we'll just have to do something to our schedule so we can get there in SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY Men In Service— With a deluge of epistles marked "FREE" arriving at the various hostelries lately, there must be a great many people around here who havesome inside dope on what' former campus hotdogs are doing and where they're located. We don't want to give away any military secrets, but it might be a good idea to share the news with other interested spectators. Every body likes to know what Uncle Sammy is doing with his boys. The purpose of this column will be to act as a middleman in bring ing news from the camps to the campus. So, in the future, any news of interest from boys in the service, either stationed here in the Nittany Valley or at Camps KP, CQ, and all points East and West will be duly appreciated, ac cepted, and used if fit to print. And now on to what some of the boys are doing with their time. Whether taking the orders or dish ing them out, they all seem to be doing a good job.
