After painstaking and- deliberate consideration, President Hetzel approved this plan whereby Penn State would’ “keep the faitb” with the sons she sent off t’o' war. With over 20D‘0 applications, for admittance (1500' from veterans) at present, and facilities estimated to accomodate only 800 next semester, some plan to meet this emergency jiad to be adopted. . COLLEGIAN HEARTILY APPROVES OF THE lEJQSTTNG PRfofclTY SYSTEM AND COM MENDS PRESIDENT hetzel for his ac tion. • Realizing that many worthy students cannot he admitted Collegiati feels that our own veterans should be considered before any other group, feany parents wilt argue that their sons and dau ghters will be forced to delay their college edu cation for a period of time. TRUE! But they must readily admit that these Gl’s have foregone their education for two' and three years, and have fought for and earned the right to resume their studies. Scholarship Fund . In appreciation of Miss Charlotte E. Ray’s faith ful service to the College as Dean of Women since 19-23, Mortar Board plans to set up a scholarship fuhd in her name. This award will be given to a sophomore girl Whose college education has depended largely upon her own efforts, and who has maintained good grades while taking part in campus activities. ‘ Miss Ray undoubtedly deserves this honor, as fife lias seen the coed enrollment grow from ap proximately 300 to a peak of 2200 during her 23 years on campus. This increase in women stu dents necessitated a great deal of work by Miss Ray, particularly during the war, but she has al ways found time to discuss personal problems with coeds in a sincere and understanding manner. By contributing to' Mortar Board’s scholarship fund 1 , studeiits, faculty, or alumni may show them t’o‘ Miss &ay. NCHORAGE COFFE f 9. f .?■ ,■ • % STEAKS . CHOPS . . .

NROTC News The post-holiday half of the semester got un der way with bull sessions about the good times, girls, and New Year’s -Eve celebrations enjoyed while on leave. All hands, realize that they mu'st hit the books again and should remember that the last part of the semester is the hardiest. Speaking of semesters, we are assured of at least one more here as the result of a recent bill signed by President Truman. It provides a $lO,- 000,000 appropriation and an extension of the NROTC program until July 1. Linkins Replaces Talman The officer replacing Lieutenant Talman is Lieutenant Linkins, who served for 27 months a board-the U. S. S. lowa. The new uniforms are 4.0 even though it took a lot of practise to relearn the art of tying neckties. While on leave many of the fellows were mis taken for officers or chiefs. Commander O’Con nell really worked hard to furnish as many men' as possible with uniforms before they shoved off on leave. Eight more men have' asked transfer from the unit to await point discharge while eight others have requested permission' to remain in this ac tivity. • • ■ E SHIP THE COLLEGIAN —MANIAC | By 808 REA -A 1 -,*H j Back In Mufti In this War the customary stamping 'grounds for the Marine Gorps has been the South Pacific islands, where it is hot and damp. But ! T/Sgt. Charles Malski spent nine months in Iceland. To put it in “Chuck’s” own Words: - \ “When I enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1940 I had no idea that I would go to Iceland, but go I did with the original contingent 61 5,6i5b 'Marine’s that decupled' the island in July* 1941. I was at that time ■a gunner with an, anti-aircraft outfit, but soon afterwards I started working as' an interpreter. While I was doing this work, I came in cohtact with many of those who were running the Gei-- mari sub blockade. It was very interesting work and 1 liked it a lot.” In answer to a query about any thing lunusual happening during his stay, he told about the .time former Prime Minister 'Churchill made an inspection trip' there. . SSys. 6huck, lf lt was right after he. had' met With President Roose- Weit ih the .Atlantic to draft the iAtlahjtic, Charter. Churchill ih .spfecied the camp and then watch 'ed a. diess parade' put on for him h!y thd Marine 'battalion. Aftre the .parade Was' over he went around Ishaking' hands with the officers ‘aiid .men, ,lt was quite a thrill 'when'. he shbpk .my hand. .1 half io' feel something more ithah' flesh and. h'ohes in his hand hdjt. it .Wfa’s just like any other hghdhhake, rather firm and hear ity.” Telephones on Wheels and Afloat The Bell'System plans an extensive trial of two-way radio 1 in providing telephone service to vehicles in a nunyber of large cities. ) Connections with other telephones will be niade through the nearest of several receiving and transmitting stations operated by the telephone company. It is gener ally similar to the existing ship-shore radio telephone service for vessels in coastal and inland waters. The main job right now is making more telephones available for those who have been waiting for regular sfervice. But as soon as the new equipment can be built the Bell System will begin extending telephone service-.« to' vehicles. $ .;^MyL'-'I?EiiiP i HONE' -SYSTEM FRIDAY MOiRNING, JANUARY 4, 1946,, “After nine' months, almost to the day v we were relieved 'by 50,000 sol diers.” Malski was laughing as he said, “5,- 000 Marines re lieved :by 50,000 soldiers —i a fail: ration. ; '*We ciaime back in a Navy.; convoy and on Sgi.
