These and many other questions pertaining to war news are discussed in Col legian's new column, "War News Analyzed." On page seven of this issue, Prof. J. Paul Selsam, associate professor of European history, in terprets the week's news from; the Italian, British, Asiatic, Chinese, and Pacific battlefields, with side lights from the diplomatic front. ' Each -week Collegian will print a resume of the week's news, writ ten by one of the professors at the College. In this manner, Collegian hopes to present a better under standing of -war news 'to students who-do not read newspapers regu larly. ' , Including a cast of more than 100 sailors and marines, the V-12 Unit invades Schwab auditor ium tomorrow night in an attempt to smash the Thespian monoply on Penn State show business. The Follies, first of a series of events that will mark the big Navy and Marine sendoff to, many of the trainees who- have learned to call Penn State their home, will be followed by the third Navy-Marine formal dance at Rec Hall and a full-dress parade on New Beaver Field Sunday af ternoon. "Can This Be Love" and "The Moon Is My Guide," will high light the parade of original lyrics that form the musical background of ballad and burlesque. Over ten new tunes were writ ten or arranged for the production by the trainees working in their off-hours. Such comic ditties as "When We Begin . To Clean the Latrine," and "Sgt. Mansfield Taught Me Marching" get top billing as the sailors and marines systematical ly tear apart everything sacred to the Navy and Marine Corps. Burlesque will be the rule rath er than the exception in the skits, worked together to portray an average day in an imaginary V-12 Unit. Anything can happen and pro bably will as , Pvt. Monty Mosco- Witz as' ."Command'er Stables" 'arid' his- - crew -c ol'. offi cers disobey gleefully every sta tion memo and order of the day existing. Dancing, under the direction of A/S Bob Houser of Broadway fame, . will :be top-notch. A "Swabbie Tap" starring a G. I. chorus line, will rhythmically il lustrate the time-worn custom of scrubbing down the deck. An Apache number has 'been worked out to go with the fast tap and mock ballet steps of the chorus, and will star Houser and A/S Tony Hail. The "Chow Hall" and "Office" scenes come to the fore on the dramatic side. .Even the audience will come in for its share , of the fun, according to A/S Manny Herman, producer of the Follies. In the Chow Hall sketch, the Hellzapoppin crew es pecially trained for 'this mad ev ening in Mr. Schwab's auditorium, will be the master of the stage and audience as well.
