First All-Coed Chorus
Hesitatingly Huanmael Fishburn, head of the
o - nusic department last semester, gave the go
ahead signal to Guy Woods, assistant professor of
music, and a group of coeds interested in organ
izing an all-women's chorus. Professor Fishburn
( hesitated because an all-coed chorus was some
thing unheard of in the history of the College.
Backed by the music department and with aid
from Women's Student Government Association,
approximately 100 coeds started rehearsing. The
personnel of the group, which came to be known
as the Penn State Treble Singers, changed with
the spring semester.
Last. Friday 114 coeds assembled to make
their debut and to trove that women's choruses
can be as oopular as men's glee clubs. When the
curtains parted, the Treble Singers found that the
Student body and faculty members were at least
interested enough in women's voices to give them
a chance. Despite the heavy rain, Schwab Audi
torium was packed almost to capacity.
Comments heard after the performance
proved that faculty members and students alike
had enjoyed the concert. Professor Woods was
sure that the time and effort he spent in training
the singers was worthwhhile when his group was
asked, at very short notice, to participate in the
V-E Day Convocation ceremony.
Seventh War Loan Drive
So you think Japan is a pushover, eh?
• Well, get a load of this.
Japan's home islands are industrialized to the
last kilowatt hour, to the last rivet, to the last pair
of hands of the a 5 millions of Japanese. And the
Japs have 400 million conquered Asiatics slaving
away for her, too. Japan constitutes the second
largest empire in the world today.
The Japanese losses have been small in com
parison to the size of the job we must do. We
haven't yet locked with the main force of the
enemy.
Many Americans, unfortunately, have the mis
taken idea that once Germany is licked, Japan
will be a uushover. American military and naval
leaders don't think so.
As we get closer to the heart of the Jap em
pire, our task is becoming harder and tougher.
Our fighting men need all the support you can
give them. So won't you buy a few extra bonds
during the Seventh War Loan drive beginning
next week.
A Sensible V-E Day
• ' The entire student body and military units
of the College congregated in Recreation Hall
Tuesday night to observe V-E Day. Many people
wondered why they didn't Parade down College
Avenue in celebration of the victory.
On November 11, 1918, everyone took a holi
day in jubilation of the World War I victory day.
The war was over, the boys were coming home
again, and the future nromised peace. But today,
"Only half of the war is won. Battles are still rag
ing, men are still dying, and the future does not
promise immediate peace on all fronts.
Perhaps it is because students wanted to pray
for a quick world neace, a lasting one, that they
congregated at the convocation instead of on the
street corners. Perhaps they wanted to do as Presi
dent Truman asked in his V-E Day proclamation—
dedicate a prayer to the memory of the service
men who gave their lives for this triumph. •

Penn Statements
Now that V-E Day has been announced, first unofficially by the
Associated Press and then officially by General Eisenhower nine days
later, everyone is overwhelmingly happy. The feeling of "It:s all
over" has set in and will harden
back home don't realize that the
The best place to start uniting
behind the troops already in the
south Pacific and those awaiting
shipment to that vicinity is right
here on campus. Let's keep buying
war stamps, rolling bandages, and
taking Red Cross courses so the
axiom "a house divided against
itself cannot stand" won't be true
in America.
Speaking of victories. Lion
gymnasts brought one of the great
est athletic honors won by Penn
State in several years home from
Jersey City last weekend—the
National A. A. U. championship.
Taking only one first place, the
boys showed top performance in
every division in order to compile
the winning points. Why should
gymnastics be one of the discon
tinued wartime sports when so
much more talent is available than
in the current varsity athletics?
PSCA is sponsoring a courtship
and marriage institute next week.

rolled a sergeant in a drafting
course but never got an assign
ment from him. Finally Mr. Wier
man wrote to him to find out what
the trouble was, and this is what
the sergeant wrote that he had
gone through since he first en
rolled in the course: a mastoid op
eration with removal of the bone
in the right ear and a partial loss
of hearing; a severe attack of asth
ma; had all his teeth pulled 'be
cause of sinus trouble; lost $165.00
of GI equipment 'somewhere along
the line; and had,his buddies ship
ped out without him.
The sergeant's letter promised
that the first assignment would
arrive in a week—but it didn't
show up. Now Mr. Wierman is
wondering what happened to the
sergeant this time?
A Lean And Hungry Look
The All-College Courtship and Marriage In
stitute is scheduled to start Sunday. As a pub
lic service, the Lean and Hungry Look will now
conduct a question and answer column for the
benefit of those students unable to attend the
proceedings. - The ouestioner is without a doubt
an idiot child for being interested in the whole
damned thing:
Q---4VV'hat is marriage?
A-- I Many definitions have been offered. The
best is that of Ambrose Bierce, a little-known but
great American author: "Marriage, n. The state
or condition of a community consisting bf a mas
ter, a mistress and two slaves, making in all, two."
Q--4 - Flow did marriage originate?
A—ln the year 4592 B. C. a vicious tart, Sub
way Sal, who was too lazy to work for a living,
induced a feeble minded peasant, Hotte Pant;
to support her in return for certain favors. Soon
di-scoverin•g that he had been cheated and
ashamed at his stupidity, Pantz made a great
show of happiness. :This farce caused others to
try marriage, all reacting in a like manner until
the corrupt practice spread throughout the world.
Q--What constitutes the ideal life partner
for an intelligent man?
A-41Vly own experience favors the 4merican
Bull Terrier. However, any Popular, small breed
of dog, purchased as a puppy, will more than re
pay his owner with affection, gratitude, and
faithful service.
Q—lf women are as you say, how is it they
are so pretty and gentle and gracious?
A—How long did you say you have been
going to Penn State?
Q—Assuming one wishes to marry . , what out
standing virtue should one look for in a woman
during courtship?
A—A small appetite
Q—ls a small appetite a test of a good wife?
A—Not necessarily. If you take a woman.
into a restaurant and she eats everything, on the
menu, her tastes are much too expensive for a
wife. On the other hand, if she eats. little,..she
is trying to impress you with her value as a
wife. Now, why should she wish to marry a fel
low with a face like yours? Obviously because
there is gomething wrong with her that prevents
her from trapping a smarter man.
Q—l am beginning to see the value in not
falling in love. Can you tell a, sure way, to de
stroy the illusion?
A—Certainly. Say to yourself, "Why should
I go through life supporting some other man's
daughter?"
9—YoU've convinced 'me. • I'm going to
break up with Josephine before I get too deeply
involved. Goodbye and thank you. (Exit the
questioner.)
