Froth Mimics
New Yorker
The Foolish Gentlemen were up
bright and early this morning to
see their first post-war Froth
Parody issue on the stands today
at the Corner and Student Union.
This famous annual issue is a
parody of the New Yorker, the
Collegian, and .Look magazine's
photo crime.
Also in 'this issue is a special
t..rticie entitled "Executive, Prexy,
and Boopy," which is an informal
and intimate glimpse of President
Hetzel.
Exclusively written for this
parody issue is a feature on
"Early Penn State" by James T.
Dugan, 1937 Froth editor.
Mr. Dugan, who is feature edi
tor of Salute, the civilian coun
terpart of Yank, was on Campus
recently doing a story about vet
erans. He wrote the "Penn State"
feature at the request of the edi
tors of Froth.
During the war, Mr. Dugan
worked on the editorial staff of
Yank. He has also been a car
toonist for Colliers and the Sat
urday Evening Post. One of his
articles, "Bedlam in the Boudoir,"
appeared in a recent issue of Col

Chairman Pfleegor explained,
"The purpose of this campaign is
not to decide whether .or not a
student or faculty member has the
privilege of walking on the grass.
Rather, it is to point out the great
need for staying off the grass dur
ing the Spring months.
"We hope everyone will realize
the necessity of, allowing the grass
to get started for the year. Only
through the cooperation of all will
the beauty of the Penn State Cam
pus 'be maintained," he concluded.
