Editor Asaiatnnt Managing Editor _ gown Editor _ Rows Assistants Suzanne McCaulley Lois Marks, Barbara Ingraham Friday, July 27, 1945 Saturd ~ y Night No Gallup poll is necessary to recognize the tact that not enough social events and activities have been planned for the summer week-ends. After about four weeks of standing in line on a Saturday night to go to a movie and coining out only to find that there is nothing doing and no place to go to till one o'clock, no other conclu sion seems feasible. The students quite naturally turn to their student government to relieve this situation. Cabinet is quite willing to accept this chal lenge from the student body, but they have dis covered that it is easier said than done. Swing Inn would appear to be . the natural Solution to this problem. It sounds simple enough. All that is needed is a vic, some records, and a dance floor. But they had all these materials last semester and still Swing Inn wasn't a success. The cause for the failure of Swing Inn might be attributed to the over-used phrase "lack of school spirit." But by whatever terms you may wish to use, the fact nevertheless remains unaltered that the students did not take advantage of their op portunity. , However Cabinet is willing to experiment once more. As soon as plans are complete, Swing Inn will make its comeback. It can be lots of fun, a place to meet new friends and welcome fa miliar faces. The, cards are in your hands and it's your turn to play Wanted: More WAVES The Navy needs 'more WAVES to replace sailors M vital positions. Now that the war in Europe is over, the atten tion of many young women has been diverted from the service to the home front, and the num ber of recruits has dwindled. But 20,000 addi tional women are needed immediately if the war with Japan is to be ended in the near future, according to the Navy department. "The WAVES have given a splendid perform ance in everything they've undertaken," Chief C. L. McKenna said, "and they are still needed to aid in the tremendous transportation job of mov ing approximately 6,000,000 men, supplies, and equipment from Europe to the Pacific and to help the unexpected great number of casualties." Enlistees are given an eight-weeks' training course at Hunter College immediately after enlist ment and are then assigned to naval activity, hav ing their choice of over more than 300 positions varying from telegrapher to aviation machinist mate. They are also eligible for 34 different rat ings and overseas duty. At present there are 3,000 serving in Hawaii, according to statistics, • Since the birth of the WAVES on July 30, 1942, the ranks have swelled to number 82,000 members and 31 ratings have been added to the eligible list. The WAVES provide an opportunity to help in the war effort and a chance for future education.

Distributor of ---_____Dorothy Rutkin --_Louis Bell Fay Young Woodene Bell /•enn Statements Tribunal has originate& what may become a Penn State tra dition in a few years when it celebrated the removal of freshmen dating restrictions by a serenade. .It almost seemed like prewar days to have fellows come around singing under the coeds' windows. And speaking of Tribunal, by the sound of the verses on the sandwich signs, no one has'ernerged as the poet laureate of the se- mester although Johnny Zoszak is trying hard enough! What He Learned— Guy Eckman tells us his first semester in college he learned that coeds are no damned good; his second semester, that metal belt buckles made good Ibotitle op eners; and his third semester, that a good dab of talcum powder is a good sulbstitute for a shave. That's what is known as a liberal education. Sleeping Beauty— There are some people who complain about what the world is coming too when they see the brief nightwear in which 'coeds are attired these hot days. !Brit nevertheless rumor says that one of the beloved Lion coaches still attires bimself in long white nightshirts! Stuff 'lt Stuff- When told that coeds were en rolled in the industrial engineering curriculum, one frosh sig student Old Mani,. WRIA broke the ice last week end by staging an honest-to-goOd ness dance, a square dame at that. It's quite a jump from danc ing to Dorsey, Miller and the big names at Rec Hall to square dancing in White Hall's parking lot, but , c'est la guerre, I guess.

It deals with the. cryptograms he • works out for the' Centre Daily Tithes.. Campuseer Every semester about this time, the question of what to do with violators of frosh customs comes up. That the present penalties are inadequate is proved, by the statement that one George Miller made when he appeared before Tribunal last week, to the effect that "I will wear anything you give me. I'm not ashamed of it. Customs don't mean a thing." For some completely incomprehensible reason, freshmen seem proud to wear the ridiculous out fits inflicted upon them by Tribunal, making, them the laughing stock of the campus. They enjoy donning skirts and sweaters and covering their pallid complexions with war paint. There fore, since present penalties completely fail to produce the desired results of chagrin and em barassment, why not inflict penalties that will carry out their purpose? All of which leads up to one obvious thing— Campy is hereby proposing new penalties for violations of customs. First will come the milder penalties, then they will grow progressively worse (as long- as our ideas hold out.) Tribunal could help Grounds and Buildings alleviate its help shortage by reestablishing the , old custom of having frosh scrub the Library steps—or any other steps on campus—with a toothbrush. Violators could be stationed in the tower of Old Main with a megaphone to call out the time both before and after the chimes ring. Passers-by get very tired craning their necks to check on the hour as they pass the clock;, in fact, several persons have been known to stretch their liga ments and spend the rest of their days gazing dreamily at the skies. Therefore, it would be very helpful to hear a voice from Manna calling, "Old Main is about to strike 12:15" or "Old Main has just Struck 2:30." Freshmen could be compelled to clean up the tables in the 'Skellar. They could carry fly-swatters and flit-guns and kill all flies in classrooms before the, class begins There is a junction at the foot of the other side of Bald Eagle mountain that has a gasoline• station built on it.. Why not have the men hike out some-dark midnight to get the serial numfberg on the gasoline pumps? How .many steps are there in all the buildings on campus? Tribunal should be able to figure out that hint by itself. Finally, violators of dating customs could be forced to serenade coeds in the dormitories. •On.' second thought, Tribunal can forget that idea., It would undoubtedly provide a worse punish-, ment for the women than for the freshmen.
