Sunday Afternoon Boom
The coeds really hit on a solid
idea,- we believe, when they chris
tened Sunday afternoon open
houses for service men last week.
Lots of the fellows as well - as the
gals seem to support a plan for
their weekly continuance. It's real
ly a super way to give the fellows
that Sunday afternoon home(l)y
atmosphere.
Incidentally, the Thespian s'
Stage Door Canteen in the Armory
tomorrow night will also offer the
femmes an opportunity to do an
other little bit for the cause—
everybody's doin' it! Take Ortrude
Wurfl, for instance—pinned to a
sigmachi in the Army in Mass.,
but still keeping up morale on the
home front.

Gone Are The Boys
According to Prof. Robert Gal
braith, nearly 75 per, cent of the
approximately 5,000 men students
attending classes at the College a
year • ago are now in the armed
services. He estimated that 3,500
are' now in uniform, and about
1,200 were granted deferments of
varying length so they could finish
college. Fewer than 500 were re
jected for physical reasons. Most
of those 'with deferments will
probably be in uniform some time,
this year, Galbraith estimates.
Further statistics from the
FAWS at the College show that
about 2,700 boys have enlisted dur
ing the year. Added to that are 250
undergraduates who were enrolled
in adVanced ROTC, 170 of whom
are now commissioned and the re
mainder are awaiting vacancies in
officer candidate schools.
Breaking down the figures, Gal
braith points out that 1,200 are in
the Army Enlisted Reserves, the
largest single representation from
Penn State. The Army Air Corps
claims about 750, and the Navy's
various • branches include more
than 900. About 80 of these were
returned to the campus under the
Navy V,12 program. These figures
represent only those undergradu
ates enrolled at the College during
the period from April, 1942, to
May, 1943.

Frothy -will - 11) ..out ,in a couple
of weeks with one of the best
covers in a long while. It 'is a
melange of photos, - the female sex
and sports and Penn State, done
by Smitty. Right in the middle is
a picture of Marge Davis on horse
back with 'Mt. Nittany in the back
ground, with other shots of coeds
at play around it. There are a few
men in the pictures, too. And
about the same time the Engineer
will be along with an issue con
taining a spread on the Army 'En
gineers.
While we were standing beside
the Engineer salesman at the Cor
ner last Saturday, a naval officer
who is in service with the mer
chant marine stopped to look and
buy. He said the guys around here
are "salute-happy," and he wished
they would give his poor arm a
break. He showed us some of the
foreign money he has picked up on
his travels, and said that when he
is abroad, nothing is too good for
the men in his branch of the serv
ice. He told us he traveled from
London to Liverpool with all first
class accommodations last month,
and it-didn't cost him a penny. The
English appreciate the merchant
marine, .he declared. His ship is
loading in New York now, and he
expects to be gone for at .least six
months on his next trip. But he
won't be too
.lonely. The officer
enumerated the wide assortment of
addresses he has compiled in many
of the ports of the world.

He said that they probably have
the best lighting crews in the his

he, is some TALENT. If they get
it, their new show, built around a
24-piece band, should be a honey.

His letter to Froth's editor was al

off, the Bookworm, writing in the

Politicos On The Trail ...
Two of the freshman candidates
for office were out campaigning
the other night. They'd go into a
house and go upstairs and ask to
see the freshmen. So - they came to
a red brick house on one of the
thorofares, they marched up the
stairs, opened a door and their
mouths to ask for frosh, but they
didn't make a sound. . . . They
were in a room full of girls in the
middle of a bull session. Of
course, it was a mistake, and their
faces were still red while they
were telling us about it, but they
hoped the next time they blunder
into a girls' dorm it won't be any--
thing so prosaic.
