Two Minutes To Remember
Tomorrow for the third time since Pearl Harbor,
the College will participate in the Armistice Day
ceremonies, a yearly pause of two minutes. Dur
ing these two minutes, millions of people put a
side their work and think just a bit about thou
sands of men who gave the greatest sacrifice of
humanity—their lives. Prayers, deep sincere
thoughts and hopes run through minds of people
as the eleventh hour tolls. And yet, as those two
minutes pass away . tomorrow, second by second,
there will be a few individuals who will not think
of men who died in World War II because they do
not understand the serious elements attached to
war.
Professors and students, by virtue of their con
nection with a college, must not be included among
the uninterested group. College people are prone
to have keener minds and stronger intelligence to
realize the situation. The College should be 100
percent solemn tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock.
As many as possible should be in front of Old
Main, along with the military units, to pay tribute
to unknown men who never returned across the
Atlantic to a better democracy.
Old Main bell will toll for one minute beginning
at 10:58 a. m. This will be followed by one minute
of silence. At eleVen o'clock, taps will be sounded,
and during the raising of the flag from half to
full mast, the V-12 Band will play the national
anthem.
As the farmer in the field stops. his plowing,
the business man discontinues dictation, and the
taxi driver halts his auto, so will the College for
get education tomorrow morning for two minutes
to remember the heroes of democracy.
And Now, Campus Politics
With national politics once again back in its sec
ondary or less important position in this war, cam
pus politicos are beginning to settle down for the
student elections which will take place Ithe lat
ter part of the semester. Party signs arel
starting
to make l their appearances, and discussion groups
are beginning to round out ideas and ideals. Party
platforms are being set up.
The fall semester of 1944 sees many students
back at school. :Enrollment figures look healthy,
and that is one good reason why interest in cam_
pus politics should reach a wartime peak. Students
should become acquainted with the various cli
ques. They should understand that a chance to
vote is a chance to take part in democracy. They
have• the right to select the men and women whom
they think possess the productive ability necessary
for a better Penn. State student government.. The
critical semesters have passed, and now is the
time for initiative on the part of the students.
This point is especially, directed toward the wo-.
men on campus who now are in the Majority. Fig
ures from - the registrar's office place women at
a two to one ratio over the men. The woman's
voice should be heard at the elections this fall.
This will result only by 100 per cent participation
by coeds at the ballot box.
Get
, out and vote, then tell the person next to
you to do- the same.

A Lean And Hungry Look
Dear • Brutus,
Things have been rather exciting: diming the
• ...
past. week , here: To our small but select women's
. .
college. "af, the 'last semester, a veritable' horde. of
'faces, both old and new, Dave come in search of
the elusive quality -called education and the varied
pleasantries accompanying • it.
One of the most talked about. groups at the
start of each scho& year is the "freshman women"
and this time has been. no exception. It seems•to
be a Penn State tradition that students are incur
able optimists concerning freshman women. They
eagerly await each incoming class and hope that
somewhere among its.fair ranks will be "the girl
for me." Each year they are disappointed and re
tire to their hovels to brood, or what is worse, con
tinue to date upperclasswomen, while marking
time until the next frosh arrival. ••
To make it easy for the hapless men to size up
their prospedts, every fresh coed is required . to
wear a green hair ribbon and,a card with her name
printed on it. The ribbon enables the searching
male to know at a glance whether or not a visual
once-over is necessary, because if the girl is not
wearing a green ribbon he has been looking: at
her for semesters and is not interested. The name
card is worth 'to expedite the acquaintance once
the student becomes interested.
Entering into the spirit •of things with enthusi
asm, a number of coeds have adorned• their•nqine
cards with additional facts. I was quite startled
'yesterday to see the-following informatiori walking
around in front of a girl:
Mary E. Eaolin, Plotztown, weight 115 lbs.,
height 4", dispositon--"friendly." father's ;oc
cupation, banker, call 2220 any time after 7: , 351,.
Naturally since the new coeds are such a sought
after commodity, steps have been taken by .the
office of the Dean of.. Women to protect them from
the gay whirl of college life (sic) until they liave
become orientated to
. their surroundings. During
the first three weeks of classes they Must be in
their dormitories by, 9:15 p. m. and.aFe forbidden
to associate with men. Association7with .men is
defined as any conversation more than ,"hello."
As might have been eXacted . :by :anyone •Who
believes that student's are more Antelligerit than
their teachers, a nuniber of, ingenious invasions of
ihis , regulation have liken place: I, became a\Jare
of this fact last night while strolling in the g4ter'
looking for
,a copy of the. Penn StO! Engine. I
saw - an upperclassman brought to a halt by the,
nocent beauty - of a freshman girl. "Hello,'! he
in a voice choked •witli, emotion.
