One year ago, "The Daily Col
iegjkl." submitted to wartime con
ditions and became a weekly. For
over a year the staff had been
battling against increased print
mg cost, decreased student en
rollment, wartime shortages, and
advertisement curtailment.
A year previous to yielding to
conditions, the staff ceased pub
lication for a week. By so doing
they proved to the faculty and
students the necessity of having

a campus daily. on May 26, 1942,
"The Daily Collegian" started the
most intensive subscription cam
paign in the College's newspaper
history. Success of this drive ena
, bled the paper to continue as a
daily until the end of May '43.
From September 5, 1940, "The
Daily Collegian" staff produced
five papers weekly, every day ex
cept Sunday and Monday. Be
tween the folds of these dailies,
four to sixteen pages long, could
be found regular campus news
items, "Campus Calendar," edi
torials and many familiar col
umns as "Campuseer," "We the
Women," "Old Mania," "A Lean
and Hungry Look," and "Women
in Sports." In addition to these
"The Daily Collegian" each day
featured a column of "Late News

Frosh Customs-
(Continued from page one)
back to Don's mind the fight con
ducted at Rec Hall between fresh
men and sophomore boxers at
Christmas time to decide if cus
toms were to be removed. Don
would see freshmen herded on the
football field between quarters and
marched around the stands singing
college songs.
Turning away from the campus,
Don would depart convinced that
the present day freshmen were
withstanding their initiation into
college life like troopers. The
freshmen are riot griping because
they are made to attend rallies,
and they are cooperating by car
rying on the "hello" spirit.
But Don was hardened by the
rough treatment of the upperclass
men and after' customs were re
moved, he felt that he 'belonged on
campus and could encourage col
lege activities.
Even customs has been affected
by the times.

Lion Cub Boarding
At Central Park Zoo
With football season just
around the corner, people are
starting to wonder what ever be
! came of the Penn State mascot,
the real live lion cub. Is he still
alive? Where is he? Is he com
ing back to college? Will he be
at the football games?
If you remember, the cub was
presented to the student body by
the makers of Bromo-Seltzer
when the Vox Pop radio show
broadcasted from Recreation Hall
last November. Prof. James F.
Shigley of the School of Agri
; culture was put in charge of
feeding and taking care of him.
But it seems that the little fel
low fell victim to that disease
that gets so many college new
comers their first •couple of days
—homesickness. He .wanted -to go
back to' the Central Park Zoo
and his mother. Just to give his
argument a little punch he re
fused to eat and had to be fed
rililk from a bottle like a baby.
Besides , he didn't like all the
people that came to visit
It looked for a while as though
he was going to die, and then'
the college decided to send him
back to the big city for a visit,
with the understanding that he
