PENNSYLVANIA Fraternities Greet Home Economics Club Displays Furniture A display of furnishing sug gestive of those which might be used in a living room, or a por tion of a one-room apartment, will be the Hom e Economics ex hibit at the Horticulture Show Saturday and Sunday. The aim behind this exhibit is to portray an example of an at tractive room that can be achiev ed by one person with a mini mum outlay of cash, provided that person is resourceful and willing to use the saw and ham mer. The Home Economics booth will consist of a group of colorful screens used as separating walls to serve as a background for this display. The articles of furniture as well as accessorier were de signed and made by students en rolled in last year’s classes in Home Art, under the guidance of their instructor, Douglas Lock wood, and Professors Sybil Em erson and Amy Gardner. Branches of autumn leaves, flowers, and fruits will be effec tively used in suggesting how at tractive furnishings may be ob tained on a modest budget. These seasonal materials of na ture will serve to give the room a lively atmosphere. Flooring of old bricks as sembled by members of the Home Ec Club will be used to give a sub stantial base to the display. Visi tors to the show are not to regard this flooring as being typically suggestive of a good display. Nancy Curry, a senior in Home Economics, is chairman of the committee on arrangements, and is being assisted by student mem bers of the Home Ec Club, Greet ers Club, Omicron Nu, and Phi Upsilon Omicron, as well as members of the Home Ec staff in Home Art.

The turtfiel, to be located on west campus between the new Foods Building and Atherton street, will be completed in 1949. Built for the Navy Bureau of Ordnance ,the tunnel will re semble an overgrown doughn .t standing on its rim. It will range from 31 to 27 feet in height and from 12 to 4 feet in diameter, and will cost $2,250,000. If “un wound”, the tube would measure 252 feet from end to end. From its present humble begin ning as a mammouth mud hole at the lower end of the golf course, will grow a modern rectangular brick building to house the Gar guantuan tunnel. The record breaking tunnel will boast a ca pacity of 100,000 gallons, twice that of the borough water tower. In the test section of the tube, located at the center of the upper arch, models of all Navy aquatic equipment, including such things as propellers and submarine wea pons, will be tested. Conditions similating those of the artic or the tropics can be achieved in ex perimentation. Performances of the models will be viewed through the win dows of the test section, and cali brated by an observer seated in an adjacent observation loft on the mezzanine. A 96 inch impel ler, drive by a 1750 horsepower motor, will force the water through the tunnel. Thus the models can be subjected to any condition met in actual submar ine experience. Thieves Unknown ROTC officials reported yester day that efforts of local, campus and state police had yet turned up no clues in the theft of the top and a tire from a military jeep last week.

Do you think students and retur ning alumni are going to come in th e store when there are so many other things to do?” We must admit we were ra ther amazed at Boccaccio. He is usually a very quiet cat and just follows us around withou* a sound. So when he spoke his mind this way. we just had to ponder it a bit. He has a poiht, but We feel there are two oth er ways of looking at it. First, IF . . . remember we said, “If” . . Michigan State beats us Saturday, you could console yourself by reading a good book, and feeling that after all, you did come to College to get a n education. Then, if w e win Saturday, you can celebrate the victory by spending some of that money you won by buying a book. “That’s a hell of a way to celebrate a vic tory” . . . that damn cat a- gain. “We’re not so sure about that,” we said. "What could be more appropriate than rea ding THE YOUNG LIONS, that great new novel by Irwin Shaw.” “Is it a football book?” asked Boccaccio. "Well . . . no . . . but it is a good book,” we said, “and the title just suits Penn State.” With that Boccaccio gave up and went to sleep right on our copy of the book— a brav e cat. So rather than disturb him and get him tal king again, we want to say in a hurry that THE YOUNG LIONS is really great. It is a war novel, much better than THE NAKED AND THE DEAD. And it’s five cents cheaper—s3.9s. We feel that it is the best war novel to date, and one that you r sons will probably be required to read ! n English Lit when they come t 0 State. In all seriousness, we feel it is the one book you should read. DON’T MISS IT. “Well.
