A 'Witness - - One of - the 'profs we know has a project 'On , the fire and has been traveling around the country showing it to people. Last week he visited another school where he had an appointment with the head of one of the departments. When he arrived for his can, he ' was Carrying his equipment in a neij case. •He was hardly inside the door when a man there asked him i.the' had a victrola. So our man says , "Yeah, want to hear some recordst' Whereupon the person so addressed advised him to de part peacefully, guickly, and with out bloodshed. But our:than .was not to be •discoUraged. He placed his outfit on a table and started to open it. That was too much. He was.i.told :in no uncertain-terms where to go and how .long he..had to get there by the man in the office who slammed the door and departed for the inner sanctum. So ,then •our man tells the sec retary who he is and what he wants. Soon the head of the de partment comes out and invites him inside where there are four Old Mania This. is a . story of three Penn Staters. who traveled a long way before finally meeting. It is the story of three men who might oeVer haVe met if not for the fact that this war has brought about strange 'things - - - Brothers meet In Algiers, Men see relatives in Europe, ordinary privates dance with and talk to stage and screen • ' In a medical ward at the 181st Generhl Hospital in India, four -officers were ' paSsing the time with a game Of shuffleboard„when . somehow. the College question ._came up. It was. revealed that three of these four men were Penn State alumni. They were Lt. Col. JO.seph E. Rice 'lB, SAE, with sev en months •in the Theater; Capt. Floyd Frazee, '3l, Phi- Delt, with , 21 months •in India; and First Lt. Ivan.

That one glared, and the others burst 'out laughing. It seemed our prof was mistaken for a representative of the Jehovah's Witnesses Sect who go around with their message on records which they play at the 'drop of a hat, and who had visited this office the week before. Made Dope - - Several times in the near past we've heard girls remark, "Gee, I can hardly wait for one o'clock." The occasion for the aforemen tioned happened to be some couple who had been sighted the moment before. The' implications are that the girls have a little get-together after hours to • talk over the eve ning and the men in it. There no doubt would be plenty of column material, but we'd bet there's a lot of it that would never see print. What's The Use - - - Leaning over, we see absent minded prof on our neighbor's notes for her column, which r& minds us that one of the faculty marched into his class, said quiz, and turning, •wrote on the board, "Why does a philosopher?" But the students are worse. Three or four started to answer the ques tion before the man found out he had forgotten to complete his sen tence.

Newest ruling to he enforced in the liberal artists' favorite hangouts Sparks, Carnegie and Old Main, is "No Srnoking." The notices scribbled in chalk on 'th:• black boards in front of each class room have been the standing ob • ject of ridicule for a long time. But the time has come for action and the boys from grounds and buildings are putting their respective feet down. Profs are conscientiously starting class lectures with "Pleaso don't smoke, or if you do put ashes and butts in a piece of scrap pap er and throw this in waste basket at end of period." Alum who one() gloried in smoking in halls, on steps, etc., should hear of this. Land of Upside Down . Jimmy Young highlighted his talk here Monday with lots of per sonal, off-the-record bits about Japan. He explained that at their parties the Japs gather in the living room, take off their shoes anti sit around in a circle. "You see," the correspondent added, "they'n on the floor at the start of their party." Next Time, Hurry! . . . They're still doing it over in the Portuguese classes. Last week a few of the group centered their attention on mass cutting. About four of them debated the pro's and con's of the idea on the second floor stairs of Sparks, and just when the argumenb was most heated they heard a murmur from above. Looking up the guilty group saw their• instructor, motioning gleefully, and calling, "Come on up, come right up.here." Which strengthens an old argument' for the "make your de cision quick" people. Word to the Wise . . . A warning seems to be in order for the majority of non-coms cat campus. A. captain in. his journey s over campus is stopping absent minded ROTC boys and •reminding them that it is still customary to salute an officer, and that those two silver bars on his shoulder arenn Part of a masquerade. Maybe not in those, exact words, but el capitP..o means business. So if you lack shoulder decorations, beware/ Equilibrium Helps . . . It could be that budding journalists are just more accident pronto than other people but anyway copy-desk classes are always the seen es of slap-stick antics. For instance, one young man hopped up from his chair to tear of a story on one of the original typewriters they keep on display in Carnegie Hall. In his haste he caught his foot under the chair of the coed beside him and suddenly she disappeared. As ho helped her from her momentary home under the table, he offered hisf apologies, murmuring, "I've been going through the awkward stagu. for 11 years." .Air Corps Exams End All Air Corps enlistments have been • cancelled, according to Robert E. Galbraith, FAWS. No definite information has been released concerning indi vidualS who have already pass ed examinations. PAGE FIVE =l=l Rabbi Benjamin Kahn will PSCA Secretary James T.
