and other secret and highly-tech

the war, but few had the dis
tinction that is Dr. Marsh W.
White's—that of being indirectly
involved in all of them.
Dr. White, after serving more
than 25 years in the , physics de

leave of absence in September
1944 to serve as special consultant
with the New Developments Divi
sion of the War Department. He
later was named expert consultant
to the Secretary of. War.
While with the New Develop

the technical detachment, set up
by the War Department, to study
installations in the Army that
needed technical men of profes
sional grade, asnd also to screen
and investigate the qualifications
of inductees whose services could
better be used in research anti
scientific work.
Dr. White developed proced

to know in advance of induction
the men with outstanding scien
tific knowledge and ability so that
they could be utilized in scientific
research instead of for general
service. He also developed a sys

Lucky Greeters to Earn
Dollars and Dance Tickers
"Hello Week," designed to rejuvenate the friendly spirit
that once filled Penn State, will be launched Monday.
All-College Cabinet, acting on the suggestion of the X-
G-I Club, is operating this new plan to get people in the habit
of friendly greeting on the principle of "It pays to say hello."
For one week students, faculty members—everyone on
campus will have the chance
of being the winner of a tick
et to the- All-College dance,
"Moonlight Magic," or a nice fresh
dollar bill. All you have to do is
say hello.
But you have to say it to •the
right person. Students, chosen by
the committee appointed from
Cabinet,.will give their gift to the
seventh stranger who greets them.
Ten tickets to the dance and $6O
will be given out in this manner.
Greetings, to be counted, must
be exchanged on campus .or in
College buildings. Names of those
cashing in on their "hellos" will
appear in next Friday's Colle
gian. Members of- All-College
Cabinet are ineligible for all
prizes.
Naturally, the organization
backing the drive expect the "hel
lo spirit" to continue ,to thrive on
campus long after thiS special
week is over. Let's not make this
just a mercenary proposition, but
keep on saying hello' to strangers;
and pretty soon they won't be
strangers.
The committee, appointed by
Cabinet to push the "hello spirit,"
•headed by Priscilla Wagner,
and consists of Rosemarie Genetti,

theme for the All-,College Spring
Dance to be held in Recreation
Hall, May 24. Les Brown and his
orchestra will be the featured• at
traction.
"Rec Hall will be elalborately
decorated in accordance with the
chosen theme." said Charles
Pfleegor, in charge of decora
tions. "We will strive to blend
stars, clouds, and the moon suit
ably into a typical springtime
starry-night."
In an effort to establish a pre
cedent, the committee decided
that the affair be called the "An
nual All-College Spring Dance;"'
with a different theme to be •
chosen each year. It is probable,
also, that an annual ailLcollege
fall or winter dance will be insti
tuted during the next semester,..
To encourage a fuller ellen- ,

that such permission is granted 4
there will be no booths .on the
main dance floor.
AK Demands
Price Control
"The . Centre County chapter of
the American Veterans Commit
tee found it imperative that a tel
egram demanding retention of all
price control features of the OPA
be sent to Sengtor Francis aVly
ers," announces Edward Banyai,
chairman of the committee.
.The .proposed extension of the
draft laW was discussed by mem
bers of the AVC at its last meet
ing. The prominent objection to,
the furtherance of the draft, made
by memb6rs who served in China
and the Philippines, was that our
troops were interfering !with the
international affairs of foreign
countries. If some stipulation cart
be made, the chapter announced
that it will be in favor of the
draft law.
As a result of numerous dam
plaints,' the committee ha s plan
