FRIDAY; MARCH 24; 1944 Penn Statements By SERENE s ROSENBERG Students will have a chance to hear James Young, International News Service correspondent and :author of "Behind the Rising Sun," when he speaks here Monday morning to the Journalism 2 class. Each week this class' has a speaker who is prominent in journalism; and this week's speaker has established himself as one of,the out standing persons in his field. He contributes to "The Atlantic Month-- ay" "Harpers," "Readers Digest," and many other publications and will discuss the Tokyo News Bureau. Following Mr. Banner's cordial "Everybody's welcome, Come and bring a friend." Journ 2 students have gayly passed the word along. Only stipulation is that interested parties take seats on either side of classroom 117 Carnegie Hall, since middle isles are assigned to regular attendants. Is There a Doctor in the House? Out at the Beta Sig house one quiet night last week, a more ac tive member got himself into a little trouble. Seems the older one wore himself out to the point where he crawled into bed and waited for Traternal sympathy. It came, and a dozen or more concerned broth ers gathered around the loved one to• administer home remedies. First piece of equipment to appear on the scene was a thermometer. "The boys" waved it around in the air, and then, quick as a flash, popped it into the invalid's mouth. Too quick, however, because like Most instruments of this kind, it wasn't made of pig iron or a new se cret wear metal. No, it was just a little glass, and it broke sending its red contents into the sick one's delicate system. Alarmed at. their "mistake" and imagining all kinds of sordid results such as lead poi soning, mercuryitis and even internal measles, the assassins put through• a call •to local physicians. Nothing to worry about, though, nothing at all. Flowers can be sent to Herb Linsenberg in care of the B. S. R. house. Take Precautions, Don't Offend The newly installed cafeteria service at Ath Hall worked very well the first few weeks and still is with the exception of a few un mentionables. For the last two weeks though a movement which might be labeled "the heck with everyone else" has crept up and is rapidly gaining momentum. Every day, for every meal, several par ties, have come half way past the hour, or just when the long line leading to the dining room is at its longest. Then these happy-go luckies trip blissfully up to their friends or even "hello" acquaint ances and horn in. Results: those who play the game honestly are out in the mud and stand in a line without moying for minutes at a time. They say a word to the wise is sufficient. The words than add up to a sentence which reads, "Stop it soon, or dissatisfied din ers who have been sending in lists of offenders will have the satisfaction of seeing said nam es in print on what may best be termed, "Dishonorable mentions, or do you offend." Odds 'n Ends "Barefoot Boy With Cheek," by one very bitter Max Shulman of Minnesota U., is making the rounds again, and if you haven't already read it treat yourself to an hour or two of College humor at its best . Thirteen beds lined up 'in neat rows in Grange playroom are homestalls to thirteen Theta Phi Alphas who are indefinitely en camped there while "home sweet home" is rehabilitated . . . An un derfstanding prof, when he lear ned . that newsboys in one small town were 'being tempted with talking dollA for additional sub scribers' adVised his V-12ers, "Yes, but always make sure your dolls are talking dolls." . . . If you're a graduating 'senior• and have been having trouble filling out certain blanks on application forms, why not follow. Margaret Halsey's sug gestion iii "With' Malice Toward Some" 'and where it says religi-. ous affiliations, just jot down "Druid." Players (Continued from page one) featured in the show. At the first notes of an accordion, the unbe lievable happens. Chairs, tables, rugs, vases disappear before the onlookers' eyes and are replaced by a mob of wild-eyed hepcats. Without warning, the memora ble discovery of Janie's papa's large, stock of firewater now takes place. Military maneuvers, in cluding target practice, occur on the lawn, assisted by one very drunken butler. (At this _point, the party be came". too wild for a Collegian , re pofter and he returned to• the of-- Old Mania We heard a very strange tale this week;, It seems that Director A. C. Cloetingh who is overseeing the new Players' "Janie" is having all: kinds of trouble because some•perverted males in the cast object to kissing les femmes. Personally, we can't see it, and neither can Chi Phi Walt Robinson who, `tis said, is the only cooperative member of the cast. No Nothin' It gets pretty discOuraging at times to find one's self in front of a typewriter with a deadline to meet and with the inevitable dearth of material. What has happened to the days when "dirt columns" were written every day, and every issue of the paper contained at least six or seven pinnings, engagements, de-pinnings, de-engage ments, et al? We only managed to get a few.—and we do mean a few— items this week. Bart Kroungold, Phi Ep, hung his jewelry on SDT pledge Mim Robinson this week . . . Marilyn Silvertone and Phi Sig Mike Gross man will. be taking .the final vows soon . . former DU Bud Simpler will be visiting Kappa Charlie Martin before long . • . Dorothy Furman, AEPhi, and Gammasig Buddy Loeb are now numbered among the ranks of the engaged . • former Delta Sig Bob Hibbard' will he in State College with his commission in a few weeks visiting Theta Phi. Alpha pledge Pat Tompkins . . . Karl Gerlach is now at Plattsburg Midshipmen's school, so Alpha Chi Betty Chestniatt tells us. Herb Kay, Beta Sig, and Ruth Appelle are two more for our engaged list. • Shall We Dance? Two dances loom. on the near horizon this weekend . . . Theta formal and the Thespian semi-name dance. Asking around we found that Vee Martin will be back to attend the Theta dance with Chuck Alcorn . . . Barbara McCleary will be there with Jim Hugo. . . Mary Ann Higgins -and Bud Long . . . Jane McChesney will be back to at tend. with Tim Reed. SOO You'll be //yin' g • M . SUITS Soft cones or casual ones in checks, pastels, tweeds and gabardines. at the SMART SHOP .3he There's something heartwarm ing •in the sight of. a pretty girl smiling and waving shyly from the window of her warm and cozy room to some handsome fellow trudging by in the snow. It makes quite a picture. But, when said pretty girl opens the window and shrieks raucously out to said handsome fellow, "Bet you can't hit me!" the picture is shattered, not to mention the windowpane. Some coeds, having little faith in the charm of their smile, set up coke bottles in a row along the windowsill to entice chance pass ersby into testing their aim. (Maybe they offer a pack of Cam els if the bottles are knocked off with the first snowball.) Whatever the case may be, it's a dangerous practice: dangerous for whoever gets caught •by a campus police man throwing snowballs at win dowpanes, and dangerous for the person who happens to be in the Vicinity when __glass breaks all around. Could be the snow will disap pear before this gets into print, but it's always something to re member when it snows this Easter. —NC The medical department reports that it examined 69 girls and 119 boys during the two-day freshman examination period.
