Friday, January 19, 1945 It's Your Chance I The Student Postwar Planning Committee for the Liberal Arts School met this week with the representatives of most of the societies on irairipus and presented its proposals, the culmi nation of a semester's work. The student reaction ;was interested, and favorable. Coming at a time when allegedly the suggestion of the faculty committee working on the same problem, were for all practical purposes scrapped, this meeting takes on an added significance. Here is the opportunity for the students of the College to participate directly in the planning that may well revitalize the methods of education at Penn State. This matter does not alone concern students in Liberal Arts, but every student at the College, for the success of a student committee in one school will . guide and inspire students in other departmentes and schools toward similar goals. The representative of each student group that has attended the meeting will report his findings to his organization and at that time accept com ments, amendments, and suggestions. He will carry back this, the expression of his constitu ents, to the student committee to be incorporated into the final plan. This student plan will be submitted to the Dean of the School of Lilwral Arts and to the entire faculty of that body. The plan is the chance for eachistudent to makes his voice heard in a possible academic improvement of the College. It is your chanee. —BJC `Swing Inn' Tonight Tonight the Armory doors swing open at eight o'clock as Cabinet's plan for student relaxation goes into effect. The name "Swing Inn" has been given' to these four hours during which students, in couples or stag, may stroll into the Armory to spend a few hours with friends. Regardless whether students look upon this move as unimportant, or if they assume a pessi mistiC outlook on the program for its success, it will go through. Cabinet is trying again to proVide the student body with something which has been looked forward to for many years. To students who still remember the Sandwich Shop as it was in Old Main a few years ago, they will realize that the Armory plan really is some thing to consider, especially since Cabinet has an nounced that if there is enough student interest in the pryject, it may be possible to have the Armory open on week-day and Sunday afternoons. And if such Ntiill be the case, sandwiCh hours will be spent profitably with friends in the Armory. "Swing Inn" will operate tomorrow evening also end every Friday and Saturday night. Special entertainment will be provided for in the future by organizations on campus. It might very easily turn into a student canteen; for servicemen as well as civilians. So swing in the Armory.tonight. Make it a sue ess. Bring back the andwich Shop.

Had I not broken :a long-standing pledge and in a moment of weakness read "Old Mania" last week I never would have known of the insult. "Old Mnnia," as, far too many people know, is a 'hodge-podge.. column. of soxe, trivia, pinnings, grimy amours; spic,.plidnigtit trysts, and other such intellectual 'purSuits. • •It is published in Collegian, Unfortunately; placed•to close to "A Lean and Hun gry Look" that its foul odor. frequently louses Up this distinguished.prose. At the bottom of Maniac's ravings the-following appealed: • "Rumor Corner: Maniac hears from reliable sources that the Lean n' Hungry Look man is g - ing to be • married. Maybe ,marriage will mellow Ca.ssius toward life and women especially." At .first I was enraged at the. gruesome infer rence that I was planning to marry a female wom an, but sober consideration convinced me that this sort of noison penning could well be expected from a colUmnist with the background of one "Nancy Carastro." Nancy Carastro, indeed. Why the history of this woman, if woman she is, is a recitation of the villainies of all mankind. Let the record speak for itself. The subject was born to a simple-minded peas ant woman in the Black Forest in Germany in the year 1562, never seeing its alleged father, the pen alty for horse stealing being quite severe at the time. The child grew up rapidly (about six inches a day) and soon left the maternal bed and board, taking with her the bed and the board in addition to the family silver. Selling her soul to the devil while in the throes of an epileptic fit brought on by an overdose of rot gut at a Bacchanalian revel in a cemetery at mid night she gained the property of immortality and set out for Paris. Arriving at her destination with the alias of Marie La Rump and finding the French • I Revolution in full swing she Promptly became the paramour of Robespierre. Marie became famous for her distinctive cry, 'Kill the bums!" while knitting at the foot of the guillotine. Emigrating to this country during the great gin famine of 1794 Marie soon interested,therself in frontier politics where she distinguished herself • ' for her distinctive cry, "Kill the bums!" while time rumors of her strange behavior forced her to flee to Washington under the assumed named of Penstate Inka Hazel in which capacity she won the Tri-State butterfat content title. Finding Washington to her liking Hazel settled there and precipitated the War of 1812, the elec tion of the lid fox of Kinderhook, the Civil War, the assasination of McKinley, the Teapot Dome, scandal, and the shooting of Dan McGrew.
