Seniors Must Take Finals
Draft Exam
Not A 'Must'
For All Men
Students ranking ,in designated
percentiles of their classes will
not, under present plans, have to
pass aptitude tests to rate draft
deferments, General Lewis Her
shey announced Wednesday.
Col. George Irvin, chief of the
SelectiVe Service field division,
advised men within these defer
red groups to take the tests any
way in case the deferment sys
tem is ,later changed.
The groups which will be auto
matically' deferred for one ad- ;
ditional year will be the first
half of the present freshman class,
two-thirds of the present sopho
more class, and three-quarters of
the present junior class. The
rankings will be on the basis of
male students only.
Must Score 70
Men not falling into these per
centiles must score 70 in the ap
titude tests to be given May 26,
June 16, and June 30 in order to
be deferred. The top half of the
senior class, and any other sen
iors who score 75 in the tests,
may be deferred for graduate
work.
Colleges will determine indi
vidually whether the percentages
are to be determined within each
curriculum or throughout the
school as a whole.
Applications for the aptitude
tests will be at draft boards on
or shortly after April 12, and
should be filled out and mailed
at once. Penn State will be one
of 1000 testing centers through
out the country.

The group was impressed by the

Thespian Show 'Anything Goes'
Hits New High In Music, Laughs
By LEE STERN
To paraphrase Mr. Cole Porter,
it's pretty nearly the top. Any
way, "Anything Goes" is certainly
the best Thespian production this
reviewer has ever seen..
An d the audience in Schwab
auditorium last night apparently
loved every minute of it, judging
from the prolonged applause and
loud laughter.
The show will continue in
Schwab tnoight and tomorrow
night and tomorrow afternoon.
Tickets, priced at $1.20, are on
sale at the Student Union desk•in
Old Main.
Some. Minor Flaws
This doesn't mean that there
.
are flaws . in the production.
There' a'r e some, but they are
minor ones. Certainly the over
all presentation made for a com
pletely enjoyable evening.
All the major roles were cap
ably handled. Ed Rolf, as Billy
Crocker, dynamic young broker,
displayed a fine stage voice-. in

Spring Carnival
Profits To Go
For Loan Fund
By MARV KRASNANSKY
All-College cabinet last night
approved a proposal to• set up a
cabinet loan fund from the profits
of the Spring week , carnival.
.The fund would make avail
able short term roans for needy
students. The proposal for the
loan fund was submitted by Wil
liam Zakor, Spring week com
mittee chairman.
Zakor noted that last year's
carnival netted $BOO, and said ,he
anticipated an even greater profit
this year.
The carnival will start Tues
day, May 15, and will last
through May 19, Zakor said. The
schedule calls for:
Tuesday evening L 9. parade
followed by the crowing of Miss
Penn State of 1951.
Wednesday A special event
climaxed by the Star-Lite dance
on the la*n of Old Main. '
Thursday The third annual

Joe Bird, as the "Rev. Dr.

Nancy Thomas was competent

no musical comedy would be

Senate's Unanimous Vote
Backs Committee Report .
Graduating seniors will continue to take final exam
inations. The College senate yesterday refused to eliminate
them.
The senate unanimously approved the academic stan
dards committee's recommendation that the finals be re
tained. Both the senior class and All-College cabinet had
unanimously voted to ask their
elimination.
Prof. Victor Beede's committee
considered the proposal during
the past month. John Erickson,
senior class president, and. Mar
lin Brenner, parliamentarian for
All-College cabinet, met several
times with' the senate group. The
senate sent the proposal to com
mittee at the March meeting, after
President Milton S. Eisenhower
read it.

man, Sir Evelyn Oakleigh.
Harry Woolever has outdone
himself with his spirited, colorful
choreography. The . dance routines
almost perfectly captured the
spirit of the wonderful Cole Por
ter music.
Precision Poor
The precision and timing of the
dance groups was, on the whole,
rather sloppy. In the hornpipe
dance to the breezy "Lady Fair"
this was particularly noticeable.
Probably one of the best-planned
routines in the show, it was
marred because of faulty coor
dination.
The Thespians picked an almost
sure-fire hit this time. The show
has everything —Cole Porter
songs, good comedy lines, reason
pbly beautiful girls not over
dressed, and, of course, sex. Both
in Mr. Porter's lyrics and in the
book itself, this is probably the
sexiest show ever seen' on this
campus.

PRICE FIVE CENTS
Collegian Not Present
Neither Brenner nor Erickson
was present at the senate yester
day. The Collegian was not per
mitted to have a reporter at the
meeting.
The committee report listed
three reasons for retaining the
finals. They said the examinations
integrate the work of a course,
train the student to think under
pressure, and supply an achieve
ment yardstick at the end of a
co u r se. Provision for certain
courses not requiring finals are
covered under senate regulations
32 and 33; the committee said.
(These regulations provide that
course finals may be eliminated
by the department and the execu
tive officer of the school con
cerned, and that students may be
excused from finals in the same
way.)

Finals Proposal
'Bust' Erickson
By BUD FENTON
Senior class president John
Erickson told All-College cabinet
last: night that the attempt to
eliminate final examinations for
seniors was. a "bust" but that he
hoped "we've planted the seed
for further efforts in the future."
In making his report on the
project, Erickson- said that the
senate committee that discussed
the finals with Marlin Brenner
and himself seemed to feel that
"we were attacking the system
of education."
The committee felt that, with
out the examination, everything
is lost, according to Erickson. He
added that "we didn't feel that
they were reasonable."
James Worth, chairman of the
dritiking colloquy committee, ap
peared before cabinet to ask for
a postponement of the colloquy
scheduled for April 20 and 21.
Worth said that only one of
three
.nationally-known speakers
contacted could accept the invi
tation to speak during the pro
gram because of short notice.
The committee chairman asked
cabinet to postpone the colloquy
until next fall.
President Robert Davis said
that it would be recommended to
the new cabinet which will be in
office next year, after cabinet
granted the postponement.
