We've cot . ne to the conclusion
that things at State are either
mighty , dull or well under cover
these days, and in behalf of the
dean's office we sincerely hope it's
the former—but in behalf of our
reader(s?) we wish there'd be
some changes made!
WRA Sweetheart Dance in
White Hall • next Saturday and
State's independent folly, "Nit
tany Nocturne," slated for the fol
lowing weekend, promise to bring
to light a few footnotes, however,
so until then we'll have to grin
and bear it with only a, few an
nouncements of engagements • and
permanent hook-ups until some
thing better turns up.
Angle Wangles Bid
• One thing we did hear concern
ed the recent election of Fran
Angle, chio BWOC, to State's
baseball nine •with strong personal
recommendation a la Mike War
drop, captain. Thespian big-wig
Marty. Skapik (of last week's vari
ety show, "Why I Am A Bache

It 'may be a bit late but we've
just heard of the engagement of

the short period of approximately
133 hours and some odd minutes.

Though classes go on, gigs mount

it—and more, too. Latest 'thing on
the books seems to be a little ex
tra-curricular muscle building in
the form of inter-barracks softball
games. War comes to the home
front.
Maybe it was a little of that
extra-curricular stuff that's getting
former football player Charles
Cherundolo where he is. At pres
ent he's on the athletic staff for
the Navy V-12 program up at Col
'gate with the title of chief special
ist. •
While at the College he was
center and captain of , the football
team and later: played pro ball for
six years with the Cleveland Rams,
Philadelphia _ Eagles, and Pitts
burgh Stealers. He ought to be
able to push quite a few Japs
around with all that training.

Army Widows Pleez Note
For benefit of all the gals call
ing their men in Army camps (par
ticularly those bothered with
tying of the tongue or complete
loss for something to say) we've
accidentally stumbled upon a stu
pendous solution. Specifically, we
stumbled across it at 2 a.m. last
Sunday.
Upon entering the phone booth
for those precious • moments be
sure to be accompanied by a June
bug - (or since they're outmoded a
rat might . do)—anyway you can
easily spend three minutes de

You've got a whole weekend to
kick up some juicy bits of infor

your stuff or we'll have to retire at

idea!)

in Tunis. He had been piloting a
Spitfire in a squadron escorting
Flying Fortresses in a raid over
Bizerte when his plane was hit.
From his hospital bed he watch
ed his friends shooting down the
Axis in the final drive for the city.
The day the Nazis evacuated
Tunis, the German staff doctors
and male nurses handed over their
guns to Lt. Strawn and asked him
to take charge until the Allied
troops arrived. He was head man
at the hospital when his comrades
marched in.
His service record shows a good
bit of action for one person. He
took part in the Dieppe raid and
was one of the first pilots to land
at Oran during the invasion last
NoveMber. Caen. Doolittle deco
rated him with the Air Medal for
his work in the invasion, and he
hai received the , Distinguished
Flying Cross and the Purple Heart

First Lt. Samuel G. Ellenberger
'4O doesn't seem to have much
faith in German anti-aircraft fire.
He's been in at least four bombing
raids over occupied Nazi territory,
and he wouldn't give much for
their defenses. In fact he gives
the well-known "razzberries." Sta
tioned in England since April, he
thinks somebody shot all the Nazi
guns off at St. Nazaire before the
Allies vot there on their raid.

Perhaps this week it won't be
too much to expect to be able to
read the name cards on the frosh.
For the last two weeks, there has
been no Tribunal, and as a result,
the freshmen have come to the
conclusion that 'customs are
something that can be left at
home in the morning and who's
going to do something about it.'
Laibe Kessler, the new head of
Tribunal, will no doubt disillus
ion these underclassmen about
Penn State traditions. Two frosh
we know absolutely refused to
believe any of the lurid stories
we, told them about the penalties
inflicted on refractory freshmen
in previous years. They just
gaped when we spoke of girl's
clothes, pushing baby carriages,
wearing barrels, birdcages, var
ious and sundry decorations and
ornaments. Perhaps in these
times, the same antics may be
somewhat out of place, but it is
a sure thing that some remedy
is in order.
Customs were not designed as
in infliction, but rather as a test
and a character builder and an
influence on discipline. A fellow
who can go through the necess
ary trial period, and not complain,
that is too much, for bitching is
the birthright of the frosh, will
find himself welcomed by the rest
of the class. Name cards are there
so people can learn the names
and pick out neighbors. If a frosh
doesn't wear his card, he is ig
nored by the rest of the freshmen
who think he 'is •an upperclass
man, and they in turn don't speak
for he is a stranger and hasn't
made his presence known. Then,
too, there is some need of diver
sion on these long sunny after
noons for the sophomores who
park on the terrace - in front of
Old Main.
It's Hotter Than . . .
We heard this week from a
cousin in the Armed• forces who
is stationed in the Far :East and
is driving a trailer-truck into the
Soviet Union. Writing about how
hot it is there, he says that when
a native dies and goes to the bad
place, he sends back for his blan
kets. Brother that sure must be
a hot country.
School Ma'ms . . .
Down at the Skellar the other
night we got into some conversa
tion with a couple of the girls
who are here for the Summer
Session. They're feeling the pinch
on the entertainment circuit, - and

In connection wiith the dirge itt
the last paragraph, we'd like to
urge all our readers to go hear
Max Lerner Tuesday night when.
he speaks in Schwab Auditorium.
Mr. Lerner is coming as one o C
the guest speakers at the Sup
erintendents' and Principals' Con •
vention, but his address Tuesday
is open to the public.
Prominent speakers at the Col
lege are few and far between, and
when they do come, the response
is far from what it should be.
Out of this world as we are
here on the mountain top, there
shouldn't be an empty seat in the
Auditorium Tuesday when the
student body and the faculty
have brought to them one who
ranks among the top thinkers,
writers, and educators in the na
tion. Mr. Lerner is the author of
many books, is a professor at
Columbia in New York, and an
editorial writer for PM.
