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

on campus during the - spell of
"spring" weather were not design
ed as recruiting campaigns for
the Army Air Forces, nor to make
coed hearts quiver and quake. 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. •

Air Corps men to puff a reefer
