Try Etlu Quartette TO THE EDITOR: I'd like to borrow a Walter Winchell phrase and present orchids to the foul' gentlemen who appear every Friday and Saturday nights under the name of the Tru Blu Quartette. . These four musicians—• Bill Keefauver, Harry Thomas, George Greenly and Hugh Ridall— have taken it upon themselves to supply the type of entertainment which hitherto hadn't' • been available in Centre County. More power to the Tru Blu Quartette who are snaking life bearable in this dead county. I'm glad that there is something else to do now instead of laking in a movie or going to the Autoport and Elec Hall "rat races„" Keep it up, fellas What ,Constitutes 'Typical'? TO THE EDITOR: The forthcoming contest has I)een publicized as a "search for the typical Ame rican Coed." • . With that in mind we are attempting to find the "Typical Penn State Coed" as our entry. What constitutes "typical"? Various luminaries have mentioned the charac teristics of the girl of their choice. They put pul chritude, femininity, intelligence and a host of other imaginative qualities as standards. • But leave us not kid ourselves. The typical Penn State coed has the charm and beauty of an Ag. Hill bull wearing pancake and Chanel number five, and to choose that one doubtful Lamarr of the campus is a fraud. Furthermore, to pass her off on Mr. Powers as our average is indecent. Why not send in the picture of the coed who Collegian Gazette All calendar items must be in the Daily Collegian office by 4:30 p.m. on the day pre .ceding publication. publication.

At the specified second, Juba could swing open the dunes, rush out, and capture the closest student female resembling a human. There, blushing in all her crowning beauty, beauty would be the glorious Miss Penn State. Since our Larnarr could not compare to other Lamarra, let alone outshine them, possibly our average coed could outsmoke,' outdrink or outtalk them. Possibly she could add that something to the occasion which it lacked. That would be the Nit tanS' campus-girlhood-feeling that the pseudo-Hol lywoods had omitted. At best she'd win; at least she'd get a few laughs. Since the whole thing is ridiculous, why not a little more gaiety? She might even show the country what type of person is taking up precious time, space and expense of our schools Wouldn't that be a fitting reward? 'Crybabies' TO THE EDITOR: Because of a few individuals, the Armed Forces of the United States in World War II were called the largest group or organized "crybabies" that ever represented the continental United States. Demonstrations and riots perpetrated by these individuals have been a constant source of embar rassment to the War Department of this nation, and in some instances have indirectly caused dif ficulty in the organization of an efficient occupy ing force. After reading the "Collegian" of Thursday, March 6, we are faced with the issue That some of these humanized homing pigeons have mi- grated within the limits of State College. The petition signed by members of the "You Cry and I'll Cry Louder Club" criticizing prepara tion, quality, and selection of food served at P'ol lock Circle, is probably the most unfounded libel to be composed in the past decade. • The writer has been a waiter in many dining rooms and boarding houses, and has eaten in every diner in State College. In no regard has the food he received at the aforementioned sources com pared with the food served at Pollock Circle. The fact that 3,000 bottles of milk are served to 800 men daily is reason enough to praise the management. In closing, may I suggest that the signers of the petition eat at one of the local diners for one week, and then enclose a letter of apology to the .man agement of Pollock Circle along with your request to return. Can't Understand It TO THE EDITOR: Can't understand why more coeds have not been entered in the Miss American Coed contest. There are dozens of beauties, here. Doesn'i anyone know Aleiha Pottieger, MMMI!M=I;.ME:E=2I lizzi, to mention just a few? All four of these girls are natural in both appear ance and manners--and they're real beauties, too. —Margie, a coed. Mil Ball Regulations TO OUR READERS: The following information has been extracted from Army Regulations and may be used az, a guide for proper dress at the Military Ball: "It is mon , appropriate, for officers and enlisted men, (now not on active duty,) to wear the uni form of the highest rank held during honorable military aervice than it is to wear civilian clothing. "Orike.7s and mon ara not .pormilLad to ween: the imignia of. the last overseas unit on th^ shoulteler, but it may .be worn. on the right shoulder. Insignia of unit to which assianed al present on left shoulder. "The tuxedo may be worn with miniatures of authorized decorations, medals and awards." As the Ball is - an occasion of military character, the Military Ball Committee urges that these cus toms be observed, - (Ed. Note: Due to the non-availability of proper miniatures, customarily worn on mili tary evening dress uniforms, for the Military Ball this year it will be considered proper to Wear ribbons on evening clothes, according to Col. Ben-Nur Chastaine.) Booing at Sports Events TO THE EDITOR: The unfair conduct and poor sportSmanship displayed by some factions of the student body at the E.1.8.A. boxing tourney and other sports events held here recently has caused many to look askance at the group behavior of Penn, Staters. The adverse impression that visiting teams carry back •to their respective schools threatens to blot out every trace of the high standards and reputa tion that this college cnce enjoyed through hard, clean competitiop and the fair-mindedness of its student. Under the guidance of our coachin'g stalls, our athletes have maintained those high standards. It is the student body, whose conduct is prejudicial to the good name of the college. While our group represents only a small part of the total enrollment, this organization will refrain at all times from undesirable conduct of this sort, in recognition of the worthy ideals which Penn Slate has previously maintained as a part of its tradition. It is our hope that there will never be a day when we Seel ashamed to call Penn State our College. —The Members of Tau Kappa Epsilon Editorials and features in The Collegian reflect the opinions of the writer, They make no claim to represent student or University opinion.
