motives in art has been arranged
by Dr. S. W. Frost of the Depart
ment of Entomology and placed

ship of ancient craftsmen and have
been gathered from many parts
of the world, especially Egypt,
China, Japan, and South America.

of two Egyptian seals, one bear
ing the pronornen of Amenophis

t mere ornament, even by primitive
i people, but has a special signifi

legend or folklore. The exhibit
includes examples, carved or
fashioned of pottery, wood, stone,
ivory, amethyst, jade, bronze, gold
and other materials.

_War
War is only an interlude in the
2areer of Lt. Daniel DeaVlarino '37,

on a ten-day leave, the former Nit
;any athlete said that he intends
to return to the College, and re

men as soon as he is discharged.
Lieutenant DeMarino led a
varied life prior to his enlistment
in 1942. Besides playing tackle, on
the 1935, 193 1 6, and '193.7 football
elevens, he Was also known for
his , boxing ability. His prowess in
these sports is evidenced 'by the
fact that he was made assistant
coach for the freshman gridiron
and boxing teams after gradua
tion.
Recognizing his qualities in
leadership and in handling men,
"Danny" was appointed assistant
dean of men in 1939.
Presently the athletic director
of the big naval air station at
Grosse Ile, Michigan, Lieutenant
DdMarino is toughening up air
men before they begin their duty
aboard the carriers of the fleet.
This is the second time he has
been stationed at Grosse Ile, as he
reported there after finishing a
five weeks officers' `boot" course,
at. Annapolis, immediately after
his enlistment.
After spending more than two
years at this base, Del Marino was
sent to Norfolk, Virginia, for sea
duty. However, 'before he could
ship out, he was transferred to the
Carrier Aircraft Service Unit at
Quonset Point, Rhode Island. He,
spent eight months there directing
the physical .fitness program until
reassigned to Grosse Ile.
The former gridder found time
from hiS duties 'to marry Helen
Louise Hartsock, from Bellefonte,
and one time nurse at the College
Infirmary, on August'2,6, 1943.
While a student at the College,
Lieutenant DeiMarina, in addition
to football and boxing, was a mem
ber of Student Board, • Student
Council, - Parmi Nous, and Druids.

Letters To The Editor
(Editor's Note:—Letters to the editor may be addressed
to the Collegian office, Carnegi e Hall. Names and address
es must be included although not necessarily for publi-
cation.)
To the Editor of Collegian
The Collegian has in the past
boasted of its loyalty to the school
and its desire for more school
spirit, but, judging from its head
line in last week's issue, it shows
tendencies to destroy practically
all proof that it is a school paper
working for the betterment of the
school and not for financial pro
fit or personal fame.
The Collegian enjoys freedom
of the press; it must not abuse this
freedom to the extent where it
can harm the school or school pol-.
icies.
• The headline "Key Crumbles"
is slanderous enough to cripple
the Key party, for it is a figura
tive green light to a possibly
clandestine political party to go
ahead with its plans. This new
faction would be dangerously
troublesome to such an extent
that it would upset the democra
tic political policies which are
supposed to exist on this campus.
This then would return us to the
two party system—campus and
independent•—which existed in
past years. The active presence
of these two •parties would create
a distinct line between fraterni-

ties and independent organizati
ons, for power on the campus
would be placed in the hands of
one of these two groups—the one
with the larger student member
ship. Obviously, each group would
feel independent of the other and
the situation would lead to .inevi
table friction. The lack of coop
eration which would arise from
this rift would prove detrimental
to the college, and would violate
the democratic traditions of this
institution.
We must remember that an ap
preciable part of the student body
will consist of X-Gl's; the ma
jority of this group will not go
fraternity, and may, consequent
ly, display animosity to the fra
ternity clique, if, as independents.
they are sharply distinguished
from the Greeks.
If such developments should
occur, the Collegian would pro
bably editorialize against it, week
,f ter week. Thus, it would be
fighting against something which
it had itself created.
