there's a whole contingent down

the letter from them in its entirety

"Not to be outdone by our erst

staff, and to all the students of our
beloved Alma Mater, our greet

College are, perhaps, not as fortu

student body of 2,000 to date

boast of little over 20.

Thespians are up in the air . . .
literally. Skanik, Fiske, and Goss
afe taking lessons at the Boalsburg
Airport. ' They go out a couple
times a week for instruction. Of
the three, only Cadmus L. G. is
susceptible to air sickness, so he
carries an antidote with him, little
pink capsules which he takes when
he feels the urge to "toss his
cookies." We are informed they
cost him 23 cents a shot.
But besides the flying lessons,
the working members are still up
in the air too over the lack of
talent for their new show which
is to be produced next month. In
the chorus department, however,
Mim Zartman has some good-look
ing prospects, and from what we
saw at one of the preliminary ses
sions the other night, she's doing
a good job and should turn out a
line of dancers that will do the
show proud. Mim is one of the
best dancers we've seen since we
came to Penn State, and she seems
to be able to get her ideas across
to the other kids. The night we
were watching, they were prac
ticing an involved version of the
rhumba.
Treasure Hunt . .
Early this week' every place in
town but one was dried up and
that one did a land-office business
until the tank truck with the brew
arrived. We almost fell out of the
booth we were sitting in when a
Marine marched into the only
oasis calming licking an ice cream
cone. Another fellow came in
sniffing, "If there's beer in town,
I'll find it." And most of the
thirstier element did.
Please Send Us . . .
No doubt almost everyone writes
to someone in the services. We
manage to keep in touch with half
a dozen of our close friends who
have gone, and every single one
takes time out to write us a spe
cial letter when we send them a
copy of Collegian, a Froth, an En
gineer, or any other College pub
lication. They get a great kick out
of them, and one fellow we sent
Froth to wrote back two weeks
later saying he had gotten it but
hadn't read it yet; for every sol
dier' in the company wanted to

mor, the boys do get the papers

Country Club . . .
The other day we ran into the
suggestion that, after the war is
over, there may be a chance that
the present sygtern of summer
classes may be continued. It stop
ped us in our tracks for we hadn't
given it a thought. However, it
was pointed out to us that orig
inally the idea of a three or four
month vacation in the summer
grew out of the needs of farmers
for help in the fields. Since the
change in our civilization over a
period of 75 years or more, there
is no longer that necessity. At
present, students either spend
their vacation earning money for
school during the winter, or just
loafing and relaxing. Our view of
the matter favors a retention of
the summer holiday.
For one thing, going to schodl
