PAGE TWO Looking Forward June 27 will mark the end of a transitional year at the College, not only in the administrative field, but also in campus activities, studies, and social life. During this last year of the accelerated pro gram, the College has witnessed the return of I;orne 2,000 veterans, which consequently meant the change back to normalcy. Transitional years are always difficult ones. There are always those who will say, "Before the war we used to . . ~" and yearn for things the way they used to be. But Penn State will never return to the good old days. Instead, in this past year it has taken steps toward a new and better Penn State. 'The capable manner in which veterans have been handled at the College is just one indication that the College is looking to the future, and not to the past. This year many married veterans have teen housed in Windcrest, at great expense to the College, and the construction of dormitories, both temporary and permanent, is underway. New courses and curricula are being introduced, plans nave been made for new classroom buildings, etc. !Campus organizations and activities have been making the transition, too. To mention just a few, All-College Cabinet has prepared a clean slate for the new• governing body in the Fail through the work this last semester on the revision of the Con stitution and the Elections Code, the approval of the reorganization cif the Liberal Arts School, and a complete change in the student finantial system; Froth arid Portfolio are back in full glory, and the Penn State Farmer is ready for publication in the Fall; the Student Union committee has worked out a .complete program, working up to the eventual erection of a Student Union building; the Chess Club, the Greeters' Club, and other small organi zations have been revived; and the Daily Collegian is-prepared to show its face once again in the Fall. With the opening of more fraternii'y houses, 'Penn State social life is also back in full swing. 'Nearly every Saturday night this semester Rec Hall has been the scene of ail-college dances, while Charlie Spivak, Les Brown, and Benny Goodman made their appearance s during the year in full pre-war splendor. It would require many pages to mirror the com plete transition this year between a war arid a peacetime Penn State. But the. transition that has been made hr all fields promise s a better Penr, State in the years to come, academically as well as Looking Back Theoretically, -one should always look to the tiuture, and never back. But two of the adminis lrators leaving the College this semester will al ways bring pleas:ant memories to those who knew them—namely, Charlotte E. Ray, dean of women, and John Henry- Frizzell, College chaplain. During hey 23 years here, as she guided the . in 7 crease in the enrollment of women students from a mere 300 -to 2000, Miss Ray has cothe to be hon ored' and respeCted by students and 'faculty alike. The coeds - particularly wfil'rernember her for het' over-open Office door, and her remarkable ability for remembering so 'many of their . , first - names, sometimes even the• nicknames. Chaplain Frizzell has become almost a College traditidn during his long term of service here. •To every Penn Stater he is known as= the genial Col lege chaplain, but to those 'whet have come in con tact with him personally, he will always be re membered as one who is truly interested, and willing to work for, a "Better Penn State." • , • THE .COLUGLA.N "For A Seder Forth ittitter Established 1940.

Of course some people will say that the. effort was made. honestly those times when one girl came out pinned to two fra ternity brothers were just adci dents. And anyway it wasn't al ways IVlaniac's fault if Otis col umn caused embarraSsment.

To say that only three worthwhile sug gestions have been presented to Cabinet for the disposition of its funds and then not to mention the $10:10 requested to feed Ofitg peo ple. i's an indication of a sorry• mental state. To place the value of a mural above the. value of 10'0 human liVes -' - vidicates to Me the Mental midgety of a Nazi. Un doubtedly,, the. completion of the mural would ilSe a 'great factor to- 'wards a "Better Penn State," but our first duty is' to build a better world. I am sure George Sample has merely oVer:ooked these things, In the past, empty stoinachs 'have meant conflict and today; conflict means total destruction of liberties, lives. arid countries.. The best investment All'-.College Cabi net can make is one Which will produce the maximum amount of happiness for us all. —Richard E. Cover Ed.

Solvency Dingleberry, we feel somewhat, like All-College Cabinet is .supposed to feel after ,reading one of Editor Bell's editorials—:there is so little time left and so much left undone We started this column plugging for a stop-light at the corner of Allen and College and we'd like to go out •with one more plea for a light. 'Since' the semester. began the borough has (1) installed more parking meters, (2) reduced the parking time from two to one hour' for a nickel on College avenue, and (3) placed a stop sign at Hamilton and Pugh (darn near in , 130alsiburg) but no stop-light at Col lege and Allen. It is all too evident that no action will be taken until someone does get hit at that busy intersection. Since so many pecple have been expecting the Bullosopher to pan the Thespian show; "NO Time for Trouble," we are sorry that it .is necessary to disappoint everyone. How Can We Pan? But how can we pan them in view of the facts? The house was sold out both nights. As a maitter of fact people even paid to a buck or 75 cents for the privilege of standing through the two hour show and were delighted with the performance of Thespians. This may have been because they purchased tickets expecting a seat, although not a reserved one, and there was'no provision made for a refund if you didn't care to stand. As to the professional acting of the show there . ean , be no doubts. We have seen countless USO shows. and have even gone, to burlesque Shy:Vs that didn't beiin tto measure up Ito the high quality of the Thespian show. Bud Mellott as a dancer and dance director has a knack for handling - and c - ordinating choruses. Mitchell's Antics The Three Stooges de:ighted us and we couldn't help chuckling at Mitchell's antics despite the fact that we'd seen "At the Corner Room" and "Olga From the Volga" in previous Thespian shows. Whi:e no Charley Chaplin or Bob Hope, Mitchell does have exceptional control over facial and body movements and a freshness Of style that is quite pleasing. Betsy Heagy deserves a few pats on the back for having stepped into her role three, weeks before show time; Marty Baum did well, despite a bad case of laryngitis, in carrying on the theatrical tradition that the show must go, on: There is no question that Carol Dieckman Was well cast as - Verge Neeley's mother in the Shin.: bone, Pa.; scene. Su l pieriatave Kerns. . Mike Kerns we have seen act before. We think tliz.t his rendition. of "The Shooting of Dangerous Dan McGrew" in a previous Thespian silo* quali fied him for a more important role in this one, b'ut • Kerns made the, most, of the situation by turning out. a superlative performance in a duet dance nuniber , With Marc Stringer. • • Marc, by the way, graduated a few years back and offered her prOfgsional talents to the pies piani in order to tune -,up her own acting befor'e . rushing off to New York City this summer. With • the proper managerrieht and the right , breaks , she , shcl . .uld . - go far in the . big tunes: (This is no attempt on our , part to lay fUture to having discni . r- ered Marc Stringer. She has been a consistently good, all-around performer for several years.) Bill Reutti, co=author of the book, was also ontt standing in his ro:e as a Ger Man transfer student. If it hadn't been for his Occasional. "Richt, :Richt" in the pledging scene, We'd have suspected that we had read something quite like if in Max - Shul man's ‘`Barefoot Boy with Cheek." Even that is no complaint; we have read Baw.C. four times and we're glad to find it .q.n the. legitimate 'stage at last. • • Galion Eggs Mrs. Raymond Ciapp•er, wire of the famous war correspondent, was a guest at the Friday night showing—she thought the show surpassed many Broadway performances she'd seen; so we say thanks far the Thespians and add our approval. So you see, dear reader, we liked the.music, the dancing,' the acting and the, jokes. Besides, w'oufdn,'.t• we be . .h . ests :to pan the tic , ifoirbance, in • _ l / 2 '; Comps . tit - rah 44 t,E , 'oatx* . ii*:ll3a . REtger he - `6c2i4 golden eggs.
