' _ . VOL. 51- No. 2 Late AP .News Courtesy WMAJ, Louis Johnson Dropped From Truman's Cabinet WASHINGTON Louis John son has been dropped from the cabinet, and General George C. Marshall, wartime Chief of Staff and former secretary of state, has been named by President Truman to replace him. Johnson's resig nation recommended Marshall and said that he would be "an in spiration to the people of the United States and our allies." Congress will have to -pass a special bill to approve Marshall's appointment, since the law states that anyone who has served in the armed forces in the past 10 years may not hold the job. • Observers see no connection be tween Johnson's resignation, and that of Stephen Early, deputy secretary of defense, earlier to day. Early's resignation is sup posedly for personal reasons.

Al though not as strict as in pre war days when the sky was the limit . and freshmen dared travel 'only in groups, customs still will be closely regulated. Class scraps—now passe, but at that .time all the rage—requir ed 100 percent participation by freshmen • and sophs unless ex cused •by tribunal because of a physical disability. Still remembered are the de- pantsing scraps which ostensibly were disbanded, because of the •mutual -embarrassment of both' participants and spectators. The classes were divided unto'. groups of fifty men, with one group from each side being sent, 'out on the field in a single heat.' The forces then attempted to tear, off one or . both of an opponent's trouser legs. One torn legging counted a single tally, while to "de-pants" a man was the acme of achieve ment worth a jackpot score of two points. The 'side which show ed the least skin and the most pants legs at' the conclusion of the 'scrap was declared winner*. • In the past, the lowly frosh was required' to carry' matches and furnish same upon request of the three upperclasses. Enter-' ing of poolrooms and. bars was strictly .verbotten and it augured :dire calamity to be discovered using tobacco in any form. ===l Froth, college humor magazine, will have an important meeting •for bUsiness% staff and candidates •in the 'Froth office, basement of Carnegie.

Speaking from brief typewritten notes, Dr. Eisenhower addressed freshmen, sophomores and new students for 40 minutes. • Holds Listeners Delivering his extemporaneous remarks in such a manner as to' hold the attention of his Etteners throughout the 40 minutes of his address, Dr. Eisenhower outlined the five.values he hoped new stu dents would acquire during their stay at Penn State. Dr. Eisenhower urged students to do their utmost to acquire "technical and professional corn petence," "logic and clarity in. communication," "an understand ing of all the fields of knowledge," "soundness of judgment," and "a fighting commitment to the democratic way of life." "You should acquire," he said, "a fighting and abiding commit ment based upon your own ana lytical, comparative study of all the social and ideological sys tems." Social Power By commiting yourself to the democratic system, he continued, does not imply an acceptance of its shortcomings.
