Dennis the Menace Summer Session To Open Monday Corvallis-Nearly 2,500 stu dents are expected to enroll at Oregon State university here Monday when the an nual summer session opens. The summer program in cludes a full quarter's work n keeping with the school's movement into "year-round school," according to Dr. Franklin R. Zeran, dean of education and director of the summer school. The regular eight-week summer session will run from une 18 to Aug. 10 followed by a four-week session. A stu dent may, by combining the two programs, earn a full term's credit and even gradu ate in three full years instead of the usual four. Dr. Zeran also noted that by splitting the 12-weck term, it is possible for public school teachers to do advanced study and still have a short vacation before returning to work. Students who aren't sure about college or whether they can do college-level work often use the summer session as a trial period, the dean Blondio Explained B-Girls West Ponders Difference Between Comic Strip and Congress Probes to foUMEAN ttUfcE GONNA AT CH5BSB THAT SMEU.S LIKEJf? $1 Million in Gifts Is Accepted at University Corvallis - Grants and gifts totaling more than $1,000,000 have been received in the past six weeks by Oregon State university for research, training institutes, construc tion, and scholarships.

Some times it isn't easy. I have a wide acquain ts nee with both, but I al- f I most got ,00'" ed Tuesday. I wii aroppea in ai a hearing on labor-management relations and there was "Blondie" explaining "B girls" to a couple of senators. A cartoonist would have a hard time topping that. Senators, as you know, lead sheltered lives. It was only natural that they would have some trouble understanding how B-girls operate. Fortunately, they were able to obtain a clear picture from Penny Singleton, as pretty a witness as ever entered the cloistered precincts of the Sen ate Investigation subcom mittee. Miss Singleton, I should add at. once, is no B-girl herself. She is a vetern actress who portrayed the role of "Blond ie" in television and the movies. She became acquainted ' with the B-girl situation as former president of the American Guild of Variety Artists (AGVA) one of the en tertainment unions. Miss Singleton told the sub committee that AGVA is load ed with members who acquire union cards as stripteasers and then function as B-girls. She contended this was the fault of the union leadership. Chairman John L. McClel lan (D-Ark.) and Sen. Karl E. Mundt (R-S.D.) professed to be bipartisanly in the dark as to what Miss Singleton was talking about. "Being a B-girl is an extra curricular activity?" asked Mundt. Miss Singleton said it con sisted of doing an act and then mingling with the male cus tomers for the purpose of in ducing them to buy drinks. It's getting so that a genu ine stripper can hardly make a living any more, she said. This drew froom Mundt a suggestion that the legitimate performers in "AGVA" organ ize another union and "let the B-girls be B-girls by them selves." The two senators were fur ther enlightened by Pat Lynn, a Philadelphia singer who told of working in a "supper club" that didn't so much as have a potato chip on the premises. The dancers, she said, did little except parade around in scanty costumes and toss off a few bumps and grinds. Some of them, she added scornfully, couldn't even keep time with the music. I know not how the senators feel about this, but to me the testimony was shocking. Off hand, I can't think ,of any thing more unsettling to a night club patron than an off tempo bump. 6-0 1. nstant 79c M & M MARKET Griffin Creek Rd.
