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

Washington - (IIP!) - How
many of you can tell the dif
ference between a comic strip
and a congres
sional investi
gation? 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.
