Page Pow 5,000 Seek Fall Entrance Students on campus may not consider their status such an en viable one, especially with the recent deluge or blue books, but it may warm their hearts to know that there are more than 5,000 men and women seeking entrance to the College rmr the fall semester. Registrar William. S. Hoffman lists the number of veterans who were former !dudents and who want to be rcadMittcd, at 111,200 ITTCII and I() women. An additional 1813 have attended other colleges in Army and .Navy training pro grains since ?lici t • days at the Col lege. Dr. Carl P. Marquardt, col lege examiner, has received over 1,000 applications from veterans who wanted to come to Penn State, but who had to go else where. There are 10,053 ex-servicemen who desire admittance as fresh men. Twenty...five Avoinen are in cluded in this group. of the 1,7115 Implications from high school stn &Ms, 735 come from women. IVIr. Hoffman has named three groups eligible for admittance in the fall. First there is the group of veterans' who are of good stand ing and sophomore classification. Secondly, there arc the 150 veter ans taking forestry who will at tend 'Mont Alto. The last group, GOO girls who have tentatively been admitted with the probability that they will spend their first year in. a state teachers college. The girls cannot be• accommodated at the College since the tri-dorms, Watts, Irvin, and Jordan, will be returned! to men students. Mr. Hoffman point ed out that. a freshman class of 600 women is larger than average since the number in 1941: was 468, and for 1942, at a time when most men were in the armed forces, the number was 7115; Student 'Bible' (Continued from page one) and Michael Rosenberger..

Being Twins Proves Useful, Yet . Difficult "No, we do not have any-broth ers or sisters who are twins. nor is our mother or father one of twins. However, there are• seven sets of twins in our immediate family—scants, uncles, and so forth." So said Oscar Lange, or was it his twin brother Jack, both sixth semester students at the College majoring in agricultural engin eering. Alike in looks, speech and action, the twins claim that their similarity 'has been very useful at times. • "While we were in the army together we often. were taken for er.ch other. Our mail always got mixed up and our dates were of ten confused," explained Oscar. "Several times we traded dates in the middle of an evening, and even did each other's flying," Jack chimed in. It Doesn't Always Work There's one case df mistaken identity that the boys aren't: too proud of though. Before this lit tle episode was over it cost them, or . rather Oscar, more than 50 dollars. Here's the story. Oscar was driving the boys' Chevrolet near Allentown several months ago when a state police man stopped.them on suspicion of speeding. Asked for his license, Oscar told Jack to reach in the car pocket and get the licenses. By chance it was Jack's, license that Oscar handed to the officer. Realizing this, but just playing along, Oscar told the officer that his . name was Jack. "Everything would have been all right," Oscar recalled, "but gee, just when the whole thing was settled I slipped and said my name was Oscar. Before I knew it I was in trouble for imperson ating Jack, and ended up with that fine." The Lange twins left the Col lege to enter• the Army Air Corps and were commissioned in Nov emlber, 1944. Their training took them to many parts of this coun try, and they were ready to go overseas as pilot and co- , pilot of the same ship when the war end ed. They Stick Together Never separated during their period of military service, the boys continue to stick together here at the College. Their father, when he was e student at State, lived at the same place, Mrs. Pease's, as do , the twins now. "It's a question' of the person who gets to the closet first each day being the best dressed, "Jack said. Class Meeting Turnout Low Two percent of the student body attended the class meetings which were held by all semesters on April 16, according .to a report from the various class presidents. The eighth semester meeting Tanked highest in attendance with 35 students present. Third and fourth semesters combined , their meetings, totaling 25 in attendance. Twenty-five attended the second semester meeting; 16, the sixth se mester meeting; 6, the fifth semes ter meeting; and 5 the seventh. Plans for graduation activities constituted the major part of the eighth semester discussion. 'Joseph Steel, president, stated that a class clay and a senior party will be held this year. . The possibility of giving each graduating senior a year's sub scription to the Alumni News came up for discussion. The money for the subscription would be taken from the class gift fund. Senior party committee members appointed are William Campbell, chairman, Mary Louise Davey, Marilyn Globisch, Betty Myer, George Sample, Richard Schmidt. Committee members for class day are Woodene Bell, chairman, Ruth Bollinger, Jean Bosch, Rich ard Cready, • Rube .Paloon, Jean Hirt, David Lundy, William Mor ton, Doris Stack; Jane •Wolbarst. Members of the seventh semes ter planned an informal dance to be held at the Phi Kappa Psi Ira ternity on May 4. Discussion was held concerning current issues which are now before Cabinet. Sixth and fifth semester meet ings were adjourned after discus sions on Cabinet's current issues. At the combined fourth and third semester meetings plans were made to hold another meeting Tuesday night. • PSCA Dinner- (Continued from page one) act as master of ceremonies.

Chinese College Will Rise, Says Architecture Graduate Flow one Chinese University, Yen Ching, is rising again despite every effort' of the Japanese to destroy it is revealed in a letter from Sam Dean, graduate of the College, to the Rev. Donald W. Carruthers, of the State College Presbyter ian Church. Dean, who taught engineering at Yen Ching until the Jap• anese overran the school awl interned him, received his bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering at the College in 1912, and 26 years later, in 1938, received a .bache- lor of science degree in archi "The Japanese did not like Yen Ching," Dean wisites. "The institution had created too many pro-American and pro democracy leaders. "They tried to wreck Yen Ching's leaders by putting them in pris on. Dr. Stuart, an old man, was confined for four years in a small building. The Chinese pro fessors were given months of al most indescribable treatment and torture in the effort to make them swear to cooperate with Japan. They stuck to their prin ciples to a man and came out lamed, sick, old, grey-haired men who had gone in young and vig orous. What Old Men! "But what old men! They have stood at the window of suffering and seen God. ilt is good for a man's soul to suffer and be hun gry sometimes. The walls of com fort _keep God out. His gentle knOck can't be heard through too heavy a diet of ham and eggs. "As soon as the war ended and the various professors were free, they brought Dr. Stuart (over 70 years old) back to the campus with flying colors. They had no money. The Japanese had 'wreck ed the physical plant of Yen Ching to the tune of over $1,000,- 000 gold. They were a band of physically ill, old men, prema turely aged in many cases by tor, ture and prison." Dean continued to tell how part of the University had mov ed from ,North China to West China to escape the Japanese. He said that both students and the younger faculty members escaped to Chengtu and walked through Japanese lines across the whole of China in order that they might carry on their university. "North China had been dev astated by eight years of war and occupation by an enemy who was ruthless and had seized the Chin ese resources leaving ruin be hind them," Dean adds. "Yet these men (professors) said: `Yen Ching University was prev iously one of the. greatest• Powers for. 'good in • China. It has been wrecked and North China has been. wrecked. We ourselves, are but wrecks:We believe that God wants us to recreate this Univer sity and we have 'faith to believe' that He .can help us to do it.'. University Opened "They opened the University at once and took on four hun dred students. They asked for money from North China and it started coming in, 'a thing that has never happened before. They got $20,000 (calculated approx imate equivalent exchange value) gold from this impoverished area which appreciated them. A mere drop in the bucket of damage done, a mere beginning of funds needed. "These. professors who had-liv ed from hand to mouth 'for four years rather than cooperate with Japan, then proceeded to pay themselves such small salaries that the majority of the funds could be used for temporary re pairs so 'that the buildings could at least be 'used. 'Winter came .and their salaries could not buy them food and coal. A friendly mine owner sent them each two tons of coal a month. The Chin ese' government offered them PRTDAY, At late 26, .1046 eetural engineering high positions and big salaries. They turned them down. "'This University is our work,' they said. 'Of what use is it that we have undergone torture if we are paid for our sufferings only in position and money? fWe want to be paid in the knowledge that we are creating the leadership which will build up Christian Democracy in China.' Physics Building Empty "The previously well-erluip ped and staffed physics and chemistry 'buildings were swept clean by the Japanese. Even the labriratory tables were taken apart and have to be rebuilt. None of the staff ore here save one Chinese professor in each de partment. I myself am the only professor here in the engineering department." Dean returned to Yen Ching following the end of the war in the Pacific. He had spent four years in a Japanese internment camp where he spent most of his time plumbing, trying to improve camp conditions. 'Despite the ruined condition in which •the Japanese left . Yen Ching , and despite the 'fact th.lt few of the faculty were left, "the North China industries came to us and, asked us to have an out standing engineering Co 1 lege here at Yen Ching," Dean con tinued. "Dr. Stuart and his Chinese faculty never faltered. It never occurred to them that one old sickly plumber and two profes sors of science and a lot of bro ken equipment were scarcely the foundation on which to build a great engineering college.
