On ttle„ . tißt spot this week is
Bobby,4Fdp, chairman of the
elections committee. He-is-charged
with the job of conducting- an elec
tion, to,form Penn State's wartime
student government. 'This is no
doubt one of the most important
posts an individual on campus has
faced with no past precedent or
experience to guide him for many
years. This is the first time since
student gO'vernment was instituted
that there has not been a regu
larly constituted group to carry
on.
To date, opinion seems to be
divided about the kind of job the
committee is doing. Chief com
plaints that have been voiced are
concerned with the committee's
reversal of decisions, and the lack
of publicity for those decisions.
Undoubtedly, the absence of a
daily newsripper is a big handi
cap, •but it does seem only fair to
the candidates that they be ap-
prised of developments as soon as
possible and that no one or two be
-permitted to capitallicbirtdVance
information.
But with the culmination of bal
loting this evening, the elections
committee's job ; will be finished,
and the new Student officers will
be ready to take their posts and
carry on. We could predict the
first official act, but we've 'been
cautioned about giving out vital
information.
However, we will go this far:
black 'bow ties .are not going to be
a prerequisite for the well-dressed
freshman' this year.
Seen Around Town
• Wandering ,around down in the
town this past week we saw Chick

Without the speeches and cam
pus, tours of the annual Alumni
Weekends but with probably more
reminiscence of days gone by are
accidental meetings of boys in the
service, from Alexandria to Attu.
We've heard of one bunch that got
' together in Alaska.
Lt. Wally Dunlap is a. company
command un there, and among his
charges is Charles Smith, a gradu
ate in '42. Then there's Johnny
Long. an ensign on a Coast Guard
cutter. He runs, we hope not liter
ally, into George Donovan. former
Student Union boss; Billy Soose,
Clem Henry, Bill Pennman, and
Les Jeter when he touches one
Alaskan port.
Move Up
'Aft. Ruth Reid was graduates'
recently from WAC Branch Num
ber. One, Army Administration
School, • Nacogdoches, Texas. She
attended classes-in the Stephen F
Austin State. College, and will take
an administrative assignment now'
to reliewa.rnan for active service
Promoted recently from private ,
to technician, fifth grade, at Camp
Crowder, Missouri, was Herman
?Adelman, Co. C, 800th Signal
Training Regiment. He is now tak
ing a radio repair course at Cen
tral Signal Corps School.
Among the men reporting to
Br oks ,Field, Texas, is Lt. An
'lliony Seolieri. For nine weeks
he will study navigation, map and
photograph_ interpretation, aerial

we saw a . couple of Marine or
Navy reserves playing with a yo
yo. Monday two freshman girls
fell in with the Army engineers
on the march to classes at noon,
filling in the space between the
two end men. The sailors in the
audience set up a howl at the
movies the other night when one
of the characters remarked that
sailors have • a needle in their
hands about half the time..
Probably the pay-off is the
change in this town where the
women used to be so hard to find.
One of our agents is willing to
swear that he personally observed
this one: A couple of girls whist
ling at a pair of fellows and mak
ing out. This completely reverses
all previous precedents in this
valley. •
Advance And Give
Civilians Out for a stroll through
the barracks section often stop to
chat with the guard on duty. We
learne,d this , week that conversa
tion not in the line of duty is
strictly forbidden for these men,
and anyone who persists in this
practice are only letting the sentry
in for trouble. This is part of their
training, and there should be no
interference.
Peace, it's . . .
Since Collegian doesn't have a
delivery system, the peace and
quiet that has descended on this
office is wonderful No longer are
there • irate subscribers on the
wire demanding immediately three
weeks' back copies or all their
money. We kind of miss them, but
it's good, too, to know • that when
the telephone -rings, the guy with
the short straw is not going 'to get
it in the neck.

Long Distance
Capt. E. E. Rhoades, better
known at College as "Dusty," and
several other officers overseas sent
a friend in New York a check for
$l5O. It was to entertain their
girl friends in New York, with
corsages, dinner; show, and night
club. They must really trust the
friend.
Up in Boston, Lt. Bart Hender
son surprised music lovers by
leading_a eimpany of 150 negroes
down the aisle at the Boston Sym
phony concert. Must have looked
like an _invasion. .

MILITARY RESERVATION
couldn't have had anything to do
with it—we wonder? And that
ain't all, he's slated for a personal
interview with the FBI this week
end.
Hum Fishburn is also patiently
waiting for the battle's end so he
can gather up a few of his per
sonal possessions lodged safely in
the Phi Gam house—pardon us, we
mean barracks.
No Furlough—No Fuss
Bunny Bundick, aopi prexy, has
cast aside all plans for a flashy
Fall wedding. We understand
Tommy's lack of a furlough will
necessitate a much more simpli
fied version. Kappa Helen Schmelz
is racking her lovely blonde brain
trying to dream up some ingenious
way of informing her mother that
Jimmy can't get a big wedding
furlough after all. Meanwhile
mamma is scheming, so let's give
her a hand pronto!

again_ wearing her phikap medal.
Wonder what it means this time?
Theta Louise Long succumbed
only last week to phikappaSig Bob
Osborne's pin. Yours truly wants
to know if all you fellows have
had the opportunity to meet a cer
tain glamorous Russian transfer
whose initials are .heron Michel!.
Confidentially we don't know her
but we thought perhaps you did,
and anyway we were put up to
this in the beginning.
What-The Well Dressed . . .
The newest cry of the Air Corps
is that of "would you alter my
shirt for a nominal fee?" It seems
that a few of the boys have picked
up blouses a few sizes "in advance"
and are now pleading with a few
honored home•"wreckers" to •lend
a helping hand: We feel that our
life will be in danger if we men
tion that Shirley Fletcher is
secretly yearning to do her bit for
the country so we won't• say .a
word, 'cause we're not quite sure
anyway.
We Asked For It
Incidentally we have a feeling
that our plea for more music a la
service groups was taken a bit too
heartily last week—meaning that
we've definitely noticed that
they're in their old 7:20 a.m. rut
again. P. S. It really goes over
much better with us as well as the
College officials AFTER sunrise!)
