Presenting the governor
Nearly 3,000 men in formal military review . . .
1050 from the ASTP, 600 Air Corps cadets, 600
sailors and marines, 120 ensigns, and 600 under
graduates in ROTC . . . there isn't much doubt
that such an exhibition of how Pennsylvania's
land grant college operates on a wartime basis
will please, the visiting GoVernor Martin when he
and his party inspect the College Monday.
Add to this the fact that 190 women training to
fill vital engineering positions in aircraft produc
tion now occupy two campus dormitorieS, that
almost every school on campus is engaged in some
sort of war research, that the College has speed
ed up its program so that more workers can reach
the production front sooner and it becomes obvious
that every possible facility has been conscripted
to meet war needs.
A;;.•
Realizing that what the governor will have to
say concerning these activities will be the chief in
terest of students as well as faculty and adminis
tration Monday, the College has cancelled class
es meeting after 11;20,
Since this Is the •thee first visit of Governor Martin
to the campus, and the only inspection •by any
chief state executive in a number or years, the
convocation should seem even more of an oppor
tunity to the student body. Complete attendance
at the meeting would indicate that individual
students as well as organized school programs are
concerned with how the College has met and•
must continue to meet the demands of the current
situation. Certainly even the necessity of study
ing for examinations will not be permitted to in
terfere with an hour's attendance at the most im
portant meeting of students, faculty, and towns
people in many semesters.
There was a time . . .
Returning alumni who battled for seats on
crowded railroad cars or budgeted gasoline ration
stamps in anticipation .cf the annual weekend of
vicarious undergraduate living will probably find
more than the usual reasons to rue the passing of
the good old days.
There was a time when alumni homecoming
meant the pre-game football rally, with freshmen
doffing dinks to the tune .of "button frosh," and
Class of 'l2 graduates reminiscing about the days
of Lighthorse Harry Wilson. Impossibility of ar
ranging a time when both coeds who must eat late
and servicemen who must return to barracks early
could attend is responsible for the absence of a
mass meeting this year.
There was a time when alumni homecoming car
ried a standing invitation to an overnight stay at
the fraternity house. Even that hospitality, al
though not entirely withdrawn, might be listed as
a rationed item. Inhabitants of local fraternity
houses have forsaken the pin in favor or a new
form of decoration . . . the service unit insignia.
Former graduates will be permitted to inspect
their Penn State homes but the day when pledges
moved out so alumni could move in is just one
more thing that must go by the boards for the
duration.
It seems almost certain that the initial reaction
of alumni to the present accelerated and curtailed
program of student activities must be the disap
pointment that always accompanies finding things
not quite as expected. Perhaps, however, disap
pointment will be superceded by a certain pride in
the realization that the College has been able to
transform its program to meet immediate needs .
without losing sight of its primary reason for
'beirig : that, . although it - mitst, concentrate: .on
training • men •to fight, it is' still concerned with
training men to. 1ive..... .7.. •

"For A Better Penn State."
One Man's Meat
It happened in Dr. Wueller's econ 23 class..
Seems everything was going along nice and, quit
like when some observant soul noticed a wasp the
size of a helicopter lounging on yon ceiling. A
shriek issued fprth from the feminine part of the
room, while every strong man grew weak. Dr.
Wueller, thumbs . in vest, looked over his promis
ing group and settled on one Jerry Baum, .V. 71.2
student. "Well," said Wueller, "I realize that this
is a case for the air force, but there 'aren't any
here, so surely: you could . do something about this.
Jerry adjusted the .spot reserved for ties in civi
lian life and Wueller turned his "I want you"
gaze in the direction of Marine Milt Sniderman
"I could call on you,"—noticeable pause,—"but
this is a little bit out of your jurisdiction." Once
again Wueller faced Jerry Baum and this time
Jerry rose to the occasion beautifully. He stood
up and located .the flying terror that had mean,
while been sailing blissfully through the air. He
stood there, for a minute, poised, sailor hat in
hand, and then—STRUCK.

THE COLLEGIAN
Front And Center . .
Quite a few boys who were here not too long.ago journeyed back
last weekend to take a look at the old place. They all were somewhat
surprised to see how much Penn State has changed since they were
students, one of them muttering.philesophically, and rather intelli
gently, for him,. 'Vest la guerre."
Norm Barron' very emphatically informed us that he is stationed
at Auburn College, NOT University of Alabama, as or last week's
column. Sorry, North, we'll see that it doesn't happen again.
Bill Blamer. ex-Collegian junior boarder, was here for a few.
days. We also saw Herb• Hasson in his favorite hangout of old; the
