"War has ,brought comparatively
Mlle change in the College row
tine and, as a result, the reconver
sion to a peacetime. status will not
, be too difficult," promised Arthur
R. Warnock, dean of men at Penn
:;ylvania State College, in a recent
interview. He was asked to discuss
changes the College will undergo
dine the end of the war.
Dean Warnock declared that by
the fall of 1946, the College should
reach pre-war enrollment level.
The quota of men is expected to
triple that of women students as
in previous years.
"Those who compose the stu
dent body of the poSt-war period
will fall into one of three classifi
cations," continued the dean of
:anon. "First is the regular number
Of high school graduates who come
to the College each yeai-. The sec
ond group is composed of those
Who, after leaving their studies to
join the armed forces, return to
continue their educ-ition. The thirl
group consists of veterans who
'take up their stud'es under the G.
I. 13i1l Or Rights."
. Another difference which Dean.
WLrnock cited will be the change
in faculty. He said that many of
the faculty desired to resign when
they reached / the age limit, but
they were prevailed upon to re
main until the end of the. war. He
gave Charlotte E. Ray, dean of
. women, and himself as examples.
Dean Warnock explained that
another noticeable change will be
• the lack of uniforms on the cam
..pus. The. ASTP will 'be dissolved,
according to him, while the V-12
Corps will continue studies at the
college on the same basis as that
cf Annapolis Military Academy.
'After a time, Dean Warnock be-
heves it will not be compulsory foi
V-1112 to wear the regulation
Navy uniform.
Twenty-nine AST? Men
Ordered To New Station
.Twenty-nine 17-year-old reserv
ists who have been studying at
the College 'under . the 'Army . Spec
ialized Training Program today
were ordered to new stations.
With the exception of one
trainee who will go to the Univer
sity of Delaware, the- student
soldiers will reoort to Pen:nsyl-
Vania Military College at Chester.
Their new training period will
start September 10.
Approximately 247 ASTP stu
dents still remain at Penn State,
where they are enrolled in ad
vanced engineering courses.

LE Jones Abandons Zoology for Navy
A doctorate in Zoology is hardly
the background one would expect
of a naval officer. But then, the
peacetime pursuits of our naval
officers do not necessarily have
any connection with the sea. And
such is the case with our execu
tive officer, Lt. Roy W. Jones.
Lt. Jones, one-time dean of ad
ministration and professor Of bi
ology at Central State College, Ed
mond, Okla. ' was commissioned
in October, 1942. On November 1
he reported to the naval station at
Treasure Island, Calif. There he
received training in ordnance,
gunnery, and communications.
After completion of training, he
was sent to sea as a lieutenant
(j.g.) in charge of the armed guard
crew on the liberty ship Benjamin
H. Bristow. Aboard the Bristow
the lieutenant had command of all
defensive armament one four
inch, one three-inch, and eight
twenty millimeter guns. With
this ship he traveled to South
America, Canada. Hawaii, •and
then through the Panama Canal
to the Caribbean, the North At
lantic and England.

Amos E. Neyhart, head of the
Institute of Public Safety at he
College, warned the American
driving public today that "a na
tional joy ride at this time will
exact a high price in lives and
automobile equipment."
Expressing concern lest the
abolition of gas rationing furnish
the excuse for careless, indiffer
ent driving, Professor Neyhali
urged drivers to exert every care
on the highway, making certain
first that equipment is equal 'to
long distance s at increased speeds.
The Penn State .expert pointed
out that wartime stresses had
made every automobile a poten
tial "death car," and propOsed
widespread adoption of these com
mon sense measures to insure
against accidents:
fl) Drive on the right side of
the road;
(2) Keep in. line on hills and
turns;
(3) Keep speed under control
when descending steep grades;
(4) Signal your intentions to
all persons who may be affected
by your acts, and
(51 Watch for the mistakes of
others, and clo what you can to
compensate for. them. This in

LT. ROY JONES
In October of 1943, just one
year after entering the Navy, Lt.
We've No Bananas
Thanks to Bug,
Drosophila
Professor James IP. Kelly of
the botany department admits
having been the partial cause of
a recent local shortage in ba
nana splits, banana salads, etc. It
wasn't his - fault, though; .it was
the fault of his drosophila melan--
ogaster.
Thes e banana-loving pets of the
professor are tknown in non
scientific circles as fruit-flies. Dr.
Kelly has recently begun collect
ing various types of these insects_'
. as a hobby, and to keep them
alive during these banana-scarce
war years, he has had to tramp
miles and miles through th e aisles
of food stores.
To some people fruit flies may
be just 'bugs, !but Dr. Kelly's
study of them has brought out
many striking types. Solite have
long eyelashes, others short;
some have big round eyes, other
slit eyes; and the color of their
eyes ranges all the way across
th e spectrum—red, pink, white,
buff, purple, etc.
The flies, which live in Dr.
Kelly's office' and force 'him to
keep it att - a temperature between
55 and 160 even in the dead of
winter, are often turned over to
his students to aid them in study
ing heredity.
Officers May Take Course
Army officers may now enroll
for courses given under the Unit
ed States Armed Forces Institute
on the same basis as enlisted per
sonnel, according to an announce
ment from Allan E. Wierman; act
ing supervisor Of correspondence
in struction. Under this plan the
student and the Army share
prinally the cost of tuition and
books.
Jones was reassigned to duty on
the troop transport Someldyk.
Here again he was in command
of the armed guard, but he had
more ordnance to control. This
time there were three. three-inch,
eight twenty and three thirty
seven millimeter guns.
While serving on this troop
transport, the lieutenant travelled
all over the 'South Pacific. He
made runs to the Solomons, New
Guinea, the Samoas, the New He
brides, the Fijis. Yet during all
his time at sea,..he was never sub
jected to any attacks. There were
no submarines sighted and no
planes encountered.
In January, 1944, Lt. Jones was
made a full lieutenant. He served
at sea until June of the same
year. Then after a period of leave,
he was ordered to report to the
unit at the College.
The lieutenant 'has a total of
47 points to ward s . discharge,
which is just two short of the re
quired amount. When he leaves
the service, Lt. Jones will return
to his former position at the. Okl
ahoma college from which he is
now on leave of absence.
MI Shoo To Conduct
(lasses in Coal Region
In compliance with requests
from State mine officials, mining
classes will be conducted in the
anthracite area by the College ex=
tension services again this fall.
Harry B. Northrup, director (;1*
mineral industries extension, said
last year's classes in the Lack
awanna-Luzerne area had proved
so successful that this year's pro
gram would be enlarged to in
clude Schuylkill and Northum
berland counties. Most classes will
get underway early in October.
Northrup, in explaining the
value of the training, disclosed
that '1.9 of the 2 / 5 successful candi
dates in this year's mine examin
ations at. Wilkes-Barre were
students in the mining - classes at ,
Wilkes-JBarre, Plymouth, Plains,
Wyoming, . and Duryea last year.
Three of these .men have been
awarded foremen's certificates by
the State, and the others received
assistant foremen's certificates.
College officials said it is hoped
to organize classes this fall in
Carbondale, Scranton, Wilkes-
Barre, Plymouth, , Hazleton, Ta
maqua, Pottsville, Minersville,
Ashland, Shenandoah, Mt. Carmel
and Shamokin.
Approximately 40. of the 100
ex-servicemen admitted to the
College this summer under the
GI Bill were discharged from the
service under the point system,.
They came from ;every theatre of
war.
