Because of the short ness of said material, we would like, just for old time's sake, to make a few comments on the changes we have noticed after a return from four months fighting the Battle of Western North Caro lina. There, in the' shades of the historic triumphs of revolutionary famed Nathaniel 'Greene at his battle of Guilford Court House, 61 Penn Staters and yours truly, the former Maniac, are holding out for bigger and better replicas of the Rathskeller and the Corner Room while we suffer the same fate as the local pre-pre-pre-pre-flighters are doing here. Word Of Warning As for Penn State and an old son, one of the most loyal, by the way, `the uniforms and -their in-. fluence on the local chicks are not as great as we expected them to. be. From all that we have been able• to gather during our short stay at the scene of the Battle of the Nittany Valley, the coeds have not been as friendly toward Uncle Sam's boys in brown and blue as they might have been. Hospitality in - the South, especially at dear old ElOn, the State men have found to be rather on the plentiful side. The accent, thickest in the coun try, we're led to believe, makes understanding them a bit difficult and calls for slightly closer 'con tact with the femme fatale than the local women ever allowed un til after the first date. The Penn State boys, of course, do not com plain about such a situation. So take heed. C'est la Guerre The second big 'change is con cerned with the drinking situation. Something seems to have happen- Um ft, 0:0 194 tzti OZI t% tun Isn Ina ft I , Ell ft gm PEs Ittv Men In Service— Ame Pts ten %la fti lea lut Pm Igau . 'A little more news from out yon der about the boys who used to do . , the. hotdogging around here has come dribbling in. More is always welcomed, and from all reports Uncle Sammy's boys really like to heir what's doing with • their col leagues. • Lt. Jekome E. Klein has reported to .Brooks Field, Tex., where he will serve with the post quarter master detachment. He was grad uated from the Juartermaster Of ficer .Candidate School at Camp Lee Va., at the end of July. Women In War Among the former coeds now do ing their part is Mary A. Landis '4o' who has arrived in 'Sicily with the Red Cross. She is serving as a recreational director. . . Eileen Have you thought how best you might invest this Sunday? STUDENT DEPARTMENT 9:30 A.M.

Of course, the short age may have just a little effect on the matter, but the feellrng is apparently gone. We got here in the middle of a big weekend and found nothing but desert-like dry ness. It was a gruesome sight to see—fifteen hundred men and women with th r oats parched, searching for a ride to ,Bellefonte or the keys to the equally dry 'Skellar. We had regards to carry from some of the boys at Elon to a couple of the local bartenders but found said characters afraid to venture out of the safety of their homes for •fear of being mobbed by the seekers after that nectar of the gods. The greetings will have to be' carried by •mail, we fear, for lack of the means to do it in per son. As Of Old That, for the most, is all that we've found different. It's still the same place, even to having Thes pians check with Fred Waring on their newest production 'efforts. Six of them, Goss, Skapik, Fiske, Burden, and Galvanik, left Tues day night to talk it over with their big-time friend and collaborator. A few drivels even. drift in now and then—here are a few' we pick ed up around the spots we hit— Hattie Leyden pinned to Kurt Chamberlain, ATO from St. Law rence, here in the AC and writing a daily letter to each other; Nancy 'Shipman and Wilson Oberdorfer unpinned again; Friz Burke, Fran Angle, Sue Hay, and Dottie Koush back for the weekend; Vee Martin and Chuck Alcorn meeting a bear face to face on Mount Nittany; Bill Henry Sigmanu up to see his pinee (or pinnee) Jean Saylor over the weekend; and Harlan Hostet ter. Phigam back from the Navy for a weekend. That's all and it's nice to have been back, believe us. By M. J. WINTER M. Casey ex-'44 is in . the WAVES at Norman, Okla. Second Lt. Ellwood J.

If it is as good as the one we saw Saturday night, it will spoil Penn State audiences as far as anything second rate is concerned, for the people responsible for the production last week outdid them selves and came through with some of the best entertainment seen around campus for a long time. Even though almost every one of the 3,400 people who saw the show is talking about the "pat terns" of the Modern Dance Group, we, too, want to chime in with our pat on the back. For sheer fun and comedy, the' girls. with the bare feet couldn't have done bet ter if they had been practicing for weeks instead of the few days that they had. One of the dancers, we couldn't learn her name, really en tered into the spirit of the thing when it is reported that she stop ped to pick up some pennies at the Sunday afternoon •performance. Manpower Shortage . . . Just for kicks, here's a sample of what the official roster of the Thespian officials looks like in one spot. It reads like this: George Q. Graham, chief scrip t writer; George Q. Graham, assistant can teen manager; George Q. Graham, assistant production manager; and George Q. Graham, special assis tant to the president. Of course, there are a few other guys around, too, when they're not gallivanting around the countryside: War Dance . . . Last Saturday the ASTP dance to celebrate_ the end of their 'first semester went over in a big way. We hear that the decorations were something to. see, and on a par with the best in themes that have been seen around the campus for a long, long time. Around the front .of the balcony, the committee had giant reproductions of the shoulder insignia of the different outfits represented in the Penn State contingent. At one end, Old Main tower stuck up between the two traditional castle spires, and also in view was a mural effect featuring Pennsylvania hills, Penn State, Broadway, and points west. Our source said the boys did a bang-up job. Doggie Went . . . Down at the Pugh Street Ly ceum, things have been calm and quite quiet for the last week and a half. From all of the rumors con- play.. _ . tritf.4? kynol" at -IWO: Cathaum '-Thealre 808 KIMMEL cerning the reason for the afore ; mentioned closed down state, we've chosen this one: the Skellar ran out of beer. Some guys have told us Doggie went to Canada to fish, another said repairs were in order, and an other said no society meetings un til some time in September. How ever, we're pleased to report, as if everyone didn't know already, that the Skellar opened its doors Wed nesday night and the crowds are again seeking surcease from the heat and studies at the same old stand. Leaves Are Falling . . . The year we were a freshman one of the attractions at the foot ball games was the parade of frosh around the track decked out in all their penalties, and some of them were good. This year most of those doings have gone by the board, and there won't be any solid section of green dinks and hair ribbons in the stands. Our first year, there were a couple of frosh . togged out with long poles with apples tied on them. We forget what they had done, but we do remember that as soon as they were safely back in the stands at the end of the inter mission, the apples were used for ammunition to fire at the hat men. Then, it was' the duty of the hat men to see that the frosh sat in their oroper sections, stayed seated until the crowd left, and didn't get out of hand. The frosh cheering always drowned out the others for there t were lots more of them, and un like lots of upperclassmen, knew the words, even of the Alma Mater: But nct all the cheering and sing ing was for the football team. Chanting "hat men chew their toe nails," the freshmen raised a heck of a row at almost every game. Once someone even brought a to mato and socked a Blue Key man right on the back of the neck. Maybe things will be different this year, •but we're darn lucky to still be able to look forward to a football season with a good team and a full schedule. From the looks of the leaves on , the trees last week, it won't be long now. Two more fraternities, Triangle and Alpha Chi Sigma, have re ceived dating privileges, accord ing to an announcement made by Dean of Women Charlotte E. Ray. This makes a total of nine frater nities that are able to entertain dates in their place of residence. PAGE FIVE
