Riin Hamlick ■feviyed Honor Society Collegian’s editorial “Honor Societies”’ in a re cent issue, while in no ways responsible for creat- 4ng an organization to recognize students active .in campus affairs, was at. least successful in reviv ing Blue Key, a'junior class Hat Society designed I.'o give such recognition. Already permission has been granted the four active Blue Key men on campus to revive the so ciety; they have held several meetings and within a short time should be ready to tap new members. Therefore it would not be amiss for Collegian . to acquaint students with, some of the background of Blue Key, its purpose and its plans, for the fu ture. Collegian can report the facts; it is up to the student body to see that the high ideals of the society are maintained, . One of the oldest student recognition societies on. Campus, its aim has been to encourage activity minded students, students who are not the athlet es and class presidents receiving all of the laurels • ■•’shut rather those men whose work goes unhearld ed. The men who put in long hours trying to make Penn State a better Penn State. i Eligible candidates are chosen from managerial firsts and from various publication ‘boards but they are also to be found in such groups as Play ers, the now defunct Thespian group, among the debaters and on various committees. There is no quota on the number admitted .each year from the Junior Class. The only restriction is in the limited number of men eligible. Tt is our hope that the Society will not only ser ve ss a means of recognition for the achievements of individuals, but that it will also take advan tage of the opportunity to work as a unit for the •"Hietterment of Penn State. —DVf.B.

Audrey flyback Distributor of Penn Statements By PEGGIE WEAVEB Friends tell us that the Penn State Engineer has resorted to that lowest of all journalistic practices —name calling. (We never read the sheet, our selves.) But to the Engineer staff from the staff of The Collegian we would like to dedicate this fav orite ditty: . , . Sticks and stones May break our bones. But names Will never hurt us For Whom Alarms Toll Prof. Harold E. Dickson ended his lecture with a bang the other day,, or should we say a bell. Stu dents sat in his 11 o’clock class with the usual im patience that thoughts of lunch always invoke. Quarter of twelve produced the habitual banging of notebooks-and rustling of feet. Came nine min utes of twelve and an alarm clock blared forth from the back of the room. Professor Dickson con sulted his watch, thanked the student, and class Was over. Stump the Experts A class in analytical geometry was slaving over a hluebook consisting of problems from the board. The prof was wandering around the room anxious to see how ‘his prodigies were solving the prob lems. One problem seemed to be bothering overy one. Every paper produced a different conglomer ation of numbers for the answer: £Jo the prof set out to solve the problem himself and find the dif ficulty. For 20 minutes he worked over the puzzle. Finally, with a sheepish grin he walked to the board and erased the problem. The class looked up questioningly, as the prof explained -that he had given them one of those mathematical freak problems that was impossible to solve. . My Date, Charlie A Watts Hall Coed,-reviewing her week and fu ture plans in her weekly letter to her., parents, Waxed enthusiastic about the wonderful time she wa s going-.to have when Charlie Spivak- came up for the big weekend. Later during her mother’s weekly Call to her pride and joy, the conversation went something like this: “Darling, who is this Chqrlie Spivak you’re dating? I never heard you mention him before.” Made your contribution to the March of Dimes yet? Bach In Mufti Does this picture look strange? Maybe it reminds you of a prisoner’s photograph; minus the long number. If so, you’re not far off the track, because Walter Cochran, seventh semester commerce and .finance, major, spent seven months in German prisoner of war camps. Now, he calls it his Great Adventure. Then— 'lt was October 7, 1944. Dawn in England l . And Technical Sergeant Cochran was in his position as top turret gunner on a Brl7, which was getting ready for a hop to a target deep in Ger many.

They had just started back to England when they were hit by flak, again and again. In a few minutes the ship was in that last spin, just like in the movies.

On hi sway down, he was wounded in the leg by a piece of the fuselage, which had broken' loose from the Flying Fortresis.

(I’d just come from the “Curse of Gold” at Schwab and the line re mained vivid in my memory. It probably always will.) Hark!
