THE C.:OLLEGINA Army Air Corps Men Conduct Naming Contest For Paper, 'The Orphan' The Army Air Corps men re ceiving instruction at the College are singing the praises of their four-page tabloid, "The Orphan." Originally started a few months ago as a sideline, the task of put ting out the paper has developed into a full-time job. "The Orphan" now possesses a complete editorial staff and gives up-to-date coverage of Air Corps activities on the cam pus. Pictures, cartoons, features, col umns, editorials, and straight news • articles comprise the paper which is not an official War Department publication. A campaign is now being con ducted by the staff to find a per manent name for the paper. The present name. "The Orphan," was giVen to the publication because no other suitable name could be found. It was called "Penn Prop Patter" a number of weeks ago, was changed back to "The Orphan" for the time being. Each time a quintile of aviation students from the 330th Army Air• Corps CTD is sent to another school or training base, a new staff must be elected since most of the positions on the, paper are left open. The present editorial staff of "The Orphan" follows: Edward Bejan, editor-in-chief; Stanley Chazen, news editor; John Wil liamson, feature editor; Edwin Lewis, sports editor; Grant Steth man, photograph editor; Michael Cannata, circulation manage r; Stacy Mathas, cartoonist; and Ger son Zubkin, Ed Carlson, Robert Perry, Robert Breiling, Walter Jebe, Otto Peterson, and Wilfred Gallagher, reporters.

He was surprised recently while making his rounds to hear a bunch of recruits giving out with a few Penn State songs. It was the boys who are back here now in ROTC. It was supposed to be quiet, but his old spirit intervened when he thought he - •ought to shut the boys up. So he left it to another who. wasn't quite so pakial to the Nit tany Lions. Also, he likes getting the Collegian (plug) and hopes to get back to finish college some day. He says, "I don't have any ambi tion to be a cop all my life." .

There's a nice letter with a lot of that old spirit in it from a couple of the boys klown at Ft. Bragg, N. c. Sorry we don't have room to print it, but it was appre ciated. anyway. The boys are Pvt. Jack Penrod, A/C. James Frame Jr., Pvt. Hugh Ridell Jr., and Pvt. Mort6n Peck. There are about 300 State men down there. Maybe some slack week we'll have room, for the letter.
