Dean Charlotte E. Ray will officially leave the
College tomorrow. Actually, she will never leave
lt's something Penn Staters call tradition—the.
Mue and White, the way Old Main look s against
the sky at night, and the greeting Dean Ray gives
College women. Strange out she always remem
bers a student's name, even if she has been in
troduced only once. This Dean of Women is a
down-to-earth character, and she' s ' undoubtedly
as to a 19-year old's problem today as she was 20
years ago when she first became Dean of Women.
But tomorrow she Will leave Penn State, amid a
chorus Of goodbye's and 'Sorry to see Yolt go'.s."
Sheleaves at a time when most of the, coeds who
knew her are spending their first peace -time va
cations, possibly with tneir civilian boy-friends
who were Air Corps men and Navy Ensigns back
when they wanted weekend excuses from class
es. That is rather like her—to slip away without
tit notice of "her girls" who are away on vacation.
Students like to tell stories about Dean Ray.
The Delta Sigs will never forget the time she had
dinner at the house and sat and listened to a jail,
session afterward, her fdat tapping in time to the
jazz,. And more than one girl will remember the
sincere sympa - thy the Dean Offered when some
thing. went wrong—something like noor marks

died at Anzio. These are real people, and so is the

how inadequate to express this feeling. If goes

and wondered what "Miss Charlotte E. Ray; Dean
Of Women" was like. It leads up to graduation
and final realization how much Dean Ray has
meant to this coed, and what she has given to
the College. •
Old Main stands tall against the sky. GOod luck.

Canipuseer
While scouting around carpus with her little
magnifying glass • and plaid cap, Campy was
startled to discern smoke on the horizon, the hor
izon being a certain door in Sparks: Behind that
door, weird things were happening. Girls were
s moking cigars; big black, foul-smelling and wor
se-tasting cigars. The first few adjectives were
ascertained via a keyhole view, but the last Was
through experience. As one coed said as she
s tumbled greenly out otthe class, you never know
what to expect in criminology class. The why of
all this? That's a good question. It all seems to
hinge on something learned - iii one or Professor
Abramson's courses concerning the pleasures of
the over-sited , cigarette, but . just what • that some
thing was, Caniipy failed to find out. •
Pinnings and Viee-Versa
And featured this week on. the pinning lid is
that of Bob Kline, Phi Ep, and_Rosemari Genet.
ti, AChiO. Rosemary is not in School this summer,
but Campy sends best wishes via long distance.
And perhaps this should be a new paragraph
'cause it's a de-pinning but this is a temperamen
tal typewriter and Campy dares not cros s it. Any
way, it has been asked that we announce the de
pinning of Cowslip Dream Sue and her publicity
manager, Frank Davis, Collegian staff member.
It seems that last week When Frank went up to
see his love armed - With a . fragrant bunch. of Sue' s
beam on Wally Goklsteins face can be accounted
karied by a wicked sweep of his bdvine proto
gee's ourvatious horns. Tough luck, Frank, but
next time you might try clover.
Navin' Fun!
This week finds vacationing Penn Stater Happy
Welber 'way out near the Grand CariYbn. And Tig
Healy and aarniny - Nelson ,are enjoying the won
ders df Canadohta Lake, which two to one, no
one has even hoard de. Take Campy's word for it,
though, it's a nice littlye lake.
The Silence Was Appalling
And from, a Certain class comes the unanimous:
opinion that there should be no College profes
sors' daughters enrolled in Courses or - else like
the proverbial cat, they should be properly belled.
'Tis said that one eight o'clock class was busy
tearing a local prof apart, verbally; naturally, and
finally; after much groundwork, the sulbject of his
current matrimonial status was 'brought up. Ima
gine the horror of the gossiping students when a
coed who had been noticeable by her lack of par
ti'cip'ation in tha discussion, piped up With this.
"He is not divorced, he's 'my father." 'Miff said.

Letters, Please
One of the s trangest things about this office this
summer is the lack of Letters to the Editor. The
priVilege of writing what you think and then see
ing it in print is 'yours. Letters stimulate interest
and show .what a paper's reading public Wishes to
read. There earl. be _only one of 'two reasons for
this lack of letters from readers . either the heat
of summer has sapped all readers' Of the energy
that it takes to wield pen or pencil . . . or, the
paper and its ideas expressed are above critiism.
And. this last does not seem probable even tothe
staff. ,
paper and, its ideas expressed are above- criticism
anything,- let's have it. And for readeriiot-farni
liar with the Collegian policy, please note . .all
letters must be signed, but names will be with
held from publlication if specified. This signing, is
a standard redurement, an& any letters unsigned
will be filed in the waste basket.
Teachers Admit Courses

Fourteen sohrool teachers tacky
were asked "How does Pent &late
differ from Other colleges stcho

quick to answer "The courses are
more difficult!" •
Lucille Rockey, Altoona: The
'summer .requirements are higher
here. than at :Indiana. You have
'to work harder to get a good
mark. Also- graduate •courses
Penn State are directed more
along' the line toward- actual 'aid
in teaching. the courses in which
the student is doind work."
" Ann Wagner, Johnstown: Class
hours nre shorter , but tbe'amotint
of outside preparation is greater•..
A manner spent at Penn State
certainly more pleasant, than in
Pittsburgh. It's a vacation; but
Pitt isn't." - .
