FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1944 "'Winn Buzzing The Field We believe the overwhelming majority opinion of the Air Corps applauded The Collegian editorial of last week on the proposed cur tailment of ASTP, and particular ly the spirit with which the ASTP men received the proposal, which was, and here we quote the edi torial: "Its a darn good idea= about time we quit going to classes and got down to cases with the war." Our opinion of college training seems to corroborate theirs: it is a necessary part of our training .but it isn't doing what We came into the Army to do—fight the war. We like it here; if ever there was a "set up" in the Army, this is it. And yet, we aren't entirely satissfied with ourselves, because you don't take a crack at the enemy and you don't win campaign ribbons while fighting the, Battle of Penn State. The Harrisburg Evening News this week reported a War Depart ment• announcement that 15 Penn-' sYl : irania colleges, among them" Penn State, will no longer re.. ceive AAF trainees. "Those now in :training," the report stated, "will be 'able to complete their - COui.§es." Class 44-F was the last ,droup to arrive here, and the Air Corps will be conspicuous by its absence along about the end of Jupe. l tumor •or otherwise, the story goes that a woman once asked an Army, officer whether wars could be eradicated. His reply was: "Not as long Women like to see a Man in uniform." Songs like "There's Something about a Sol- , diet." follow this logic. If such Were true, we would grab a job as hbtel doorman or railroad con ductor after the war, and all our pOblems would be solved.

If you've ever done any drilling with the cadence provided by the us ual hut, toop, threep, feurp, you know how monotonous it gets. But throw in a band, and civilians in uniform become "sharp" old soldiers. Biggest Air Corps news of the moment is the impending Green Tag Swingout, which will invade Rec Hall next Friday. The squad ron sweethearts have all be elec ted. The judges, the detachment's commissioned offiders, will give them the once over during the dance, and their decision will de termine the Queen of the Swing out, who will be Air Corps Queen until the next class dance. We will take no bets on the winner, as the line-up is close; all five are chic, more or less athletic, intelligent and seem to like Air Corps men. • Don't ..be alarine4 if you . see clouds of smoke billowing from various class• buildings during the Week.
