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. It'is . up to . the

Old Mania
This week Old Mania is going
to be more or less of a bulletin
board with the names of those
going to V-12 Winter Ball tomor
row tacked on • for all to see and
read. If the names Maniac went
crazy digging up are any indi
caton of attendance at the shindig,
it ought to be a fairly well repre
sented affair with both civilians
and servicemen floCking to Rec
Hall to hear Shep Fields and his
New Music . . .
Before we begin—a word about
Cassius. The frustrated and de
mented author of Lean 'n Hungry
look is going to print some vicious
and licentious remarks about
Maniac this week. How sad that
he can write naught but bitterly.
He is "more to be pitied than cen
sored, for a girl was the cause
of it all . . . "

A Lean And Hungry Look
At times I have been a very naughty boy, but
it is doubtful that at any: time I have been suf
ficiently naughty , to deserve what was done to me.
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.
