'All-Hands tin-.Deck'
One of the biggest strides toward
closer cooperation between civilian
students and servicemen on the
campus will be taken September 2
when the College V-12 unit pre
sents the “Ship’s Ball” at Recrea
tion Hall.
-Ever since Lt. Comdr’ Trusdell
Wisner arrived on the campus he
has been attempting to cement re
lations between the two groups.
The “Ship’s Ball” is the result of
his untiring efforts.
Three hundred tickets to the
formal have been made available
to civilian students at the College.
They will be on sale at Student
Union until noon tomorrow. Price
per couple is one dollar.
Frosh, Be Careful
Have you ever noticed the piece
of cord dangling from the geology
■monument iii front of the Arm
ory? N
-Well, four years ago the fresh
man class got a brainstorm. The
frosh attached a huge sign to the
cord which read “Hat Men Chew
Their Toenails.”
- Needless to say, the following
week was a hard one for the first
semester boys. More than one
paddle was broken during that
period.
Sunday Movies Slated
Sunday movies for servicemen
and their dates may be offered
again around the first of October,
James T. Smith, FSCA secretary,
announced today. • .
“Although nothing definite has
been decided, there is a possibility
that motion pictures will toe shown
before. the end of the summer
semester,” said Smith.
The summer heat wave and
..other plans which eventually, fell
through were given as reasons for
discontinuing movies on Sunday in
Sparks Building. Bob Hope in the
“Road to Singapore” was the lasi
picture to be presented;
How Embarrassing
The story of the little grey
mouse that had first floor coeds at
•Atherton Hall in a frenzy between
4 and 4:30 a.m. one Sunday morn
ing recently is still being told.
It'appears that a two-inch mem
ber of the rodent family smuggled
himself into the home of Penn
State’s upperclass women. While
the coeds slept, the mouse attempt
ed to explore the spacious dormi
tory.
However, the mouse made so
much noise around the waste pa
per basket in the hall that startled
coeds ..rushed to the telephone and
murmured, “Operator, there’s
someone outside my. door.”
■•' Later-events embarrassed more
than-one Penn State female.

Final decisions on the project will
be made at an IFC meeting at
Sigma Phi Alpha at 7:30 p.m.

game on September 30.

Penn State’s two campus bands
will . play at two of the bigger
fraternity houses in town. The
social affair will be under direct
supervision of IFC. Definite plans
will be discussed Monday as to ad
mittance and dress.
Why Be Particular?
The weather is getting to be
quite a problem these days.
■One day you roast in the sun
and the following afternoon you
drown in the rain. Even" Hans
Neuberger occasionally doesn’t
know what is coming next.
Several of the College’s- more
ingenious students last week de
cided to get a sun tan in their
backyard. So they donned their
swimming trunks and stretched
out on the lawn„ In a few moments
the burning sun hid jts shining
rays and drops of rain interrupted
the backyard activities.
Angry, but still in a reasonable
mood, the fellows decided a shower
was as good as a tan and continued
their discussion in the downpour.
Explosion Victim Okay
After three weeks of hospitali
zation, Clarence H. Ruof, the grad
uate student who was injured in
the high octane gasoline explosion
at New Physics last month, is now
spending two weeks recuperating
at his home in Hummelstown, just
below Harrisburg. -
Ruof, who received second de
gree burns on his face and arms,
was released from the Infirmary
just recently. He intends to return
to work within two weeks.

tish spy movie, will-be presented

Sparks.

THE COLLEGIAN
Ship Ahoy
By A/s FRED VOGEL
A/S J. Calvin Sheehan, alias
“Chaplain Jim,” engineered a
dance and weenie roast for Bar
racks 20 Saturday night. Dancing
on the terrace to big name bands
via the record player was the big
attraction. A hot dog roast, water
melons, three acres of military
reservation, and a magnitude of
feminine pulchritude all added - to
keep several V-12’ers happy. A/S.
Stu Block’s date bureau brought
forth a host of Penn State’s pret
tiest coeds. “The trainees were op
erating.”
Scuttlebutt ...
“Pinky,” unofficial trainee in
Barracks 29, is the chief rooter at
all their barracks ball games. A/S
Ted Serafini has taken archery, or
is it just the instructor on the
White Hall range?
That breeze that just went by
was not Superman but yours truly,
followed closely by Ray Kurowski.
Last week’s statement was a-case
of mistaken identity.
A/S Ziegler is the proud posses
sor of a handlebar mustache—the
oretically. Pvt. Dorsie Booker will
break many Far Eastern hearts
when word gets around of his
present love life.
Pvt. Bruce Allen is dividing his
attention between the football field
and the .Kappa House. S 2/C Earl
Neufer, former V-12 student here,
was assigned to a D. E. . . . A/S
George Bauer pi-efers red watch
stripes to blue ... A certain red
head is torn between A/S Boyden
and A/S Borger . . . Pvt. Ed
Bush’s hometown girl is rumored
to be a full-blooded Indian from
Wyoming.
More Stuff ...
A/S Burns has discovered the
fifth dimension in Bohemian. Or
has he been chased away again by
that little green chair? Schedule
411 is planning a farewell dinner
dance' before going on to Midship
men. School . . . Barracks 41 is the
proud possessor of the great
■Freudian scholar, A/S Robert
Shaw. .
The V-Mails received by V-12
males from Ath Hall keep us won
dering as to what lies within the
first- window on the west side- of
the- largest dormitory on campus.
Those large, shiny trophies in the
Navy Office'have all the barracks
working.
V-12 Glee Club kept the Centre
Hills Country Club well supplied
with songs last Saturday night.
September 2 is the date and Rec
Hall is the place for the big V-12
formal.
Classniafes Head Council
For the first time in the history
of the College the presiding -offi
cers at the Council of Administra
tion meeting on Monday were
classmates. The two presiding' of
ficers were Dean of Mineral In
dustries Edward Steidle, chairman,
and Registrar William Hoffman,
secretary, both graduates of • the
class of 1911.
Old Mania
Next week will mark Penn
State’s first major weekend of the
semester . . . With the one-and
one-half to one ratio on campus
this summer, a large number of
coeds will be honored with 'bids
to Ship’s Ball ... Of course, there
must be taken into account the
little matter of imports, boys who
don’t dale, don’t dance, or don’t
care. . . Otherwise, the prospect
of a very happy weekend is in
sight for a majority of coeds . . .
Get those formals out and pressed
just in case your roomie’s date has
a friend who has another friend
who decides to go aboard ship
that night . . . Thirf week Maniac
and our little helpers will be busy
compiling a list of who’s going
with whom to the shindig, and it’ll
be ready come next issue . . .
