You probably have it hung on Your wall where you can admire it and treasure it alone. Or perhaps you have it hidden away in your clos et and take it out to look at its bright yellow and red colors several times a day. y A lot of people are saying that 'you took it to be mean and a; a joke. We 4lon't, think so. It seems more likely that you really love the picture, love it so much that you want to have it for yourself. To have it in jour roost, hidden away from unappreciative eyes and where you, who' really hppreciatos its beauty, can see it every day. You probably have cut Van Gogh's self 'porirait front Vanity Pair and have it hanging on the wall beside it. But Nl:on't you give it back. There are a lot of us who appreciate the "Room at Arles" just as much as you do. We 'wanted to take it, too, but when we realized that so many others would like to see it and that so many others have coveted it too, ire left it there. No queiions will be asked and no sermons preached for we all know and appreciate your feeling for the picture Just slip it under the dour' or mail it bad:. We feel sure you will. Please du. BUILD A PEACE MACHINE Peace bonds are a step forward. Buying a peace bond is a definite deehiration of intention and opinion, placing you on the side of those who are striving for the prevention and for the elimination of war. The World is now weighing the peace machine as opposed to the war machine and the present pence move ment is not adequate! It's up to students, as potential, integral, involuntary parts of the war machine to see that the peace movement wins. And it can win if as students ive become pence active, become something more than, to quote one of our history profs, "literate morons capab:e of reading Hearst papers!" February 10-22 has'been designated by the Student Pence Action Council as - ,Peace Emphasis Week, during which period special stress will be laid upon the stu dent's position in relation to war, the winning possibili ties Of the peace machine and the sale of peace' bonds. The National Council for the Prevention of War Which spc7sors the bonds is an organization which has as its brood, platform: (1) progressive world organization; (2) world-wide reduction of armaments; and (3) world wide edOcation for peace. It is sponsoring and promot ing the sale of these bonds to maintain its efforts for pence. The purchase of a bond will help the local groups, the State College Peace Action Committee and the Stu dent Peace Action Council, to continue their activities. It'will enable the Council, which is affiliated with thirty national organizations . of high calibre, to broaden the scope of its work. • Every individual has the strong personal conviction that war is wrong, an evil which should be abolished. Pew people take action on that conviction. The pur chase of a peace bond will be a peace-minded act. The forces which bring a people to war have a firm basis in money. The struggle for, pence must be just as strongly underwritten in finance. Among the endorsers of this method of promoting 4 'country-wide campaign for peace are Senator Gerald P. Nyc, who purchased the first peace bond, and Profes sb:r Jaines T. Shotweli of ColuMbia University who "tirges fall cooperation on the part of all who want to see a stronger peace movement in cur country in this critical time." • 'We must realize that the present peace movement is not adequate to prevent war. A much strongei peace movement must be built. We as students must become convinced of the necessity for preserving peace. Sup port the Peace Emphasis Week; buy peace bonds! The traditional Penn State lethargy and apathy must take a back scat on this question. Something more than an unorganized opposition to ROTC. is necessary for us to be active treml-ers of the fight for peace. PANHELLENIC COUNCIL PLEASE NOTE As women's rushing draws to a close this week, it is evident that a revision, through retrospection on the part of Panhellenic Council and the fraternity women, is necessary. With the introduction of second semester rushing last year, a series of new and startling changes in the rushing code have'resulted in hectic convention for extremely "fraternity conscious" freshmen. The worth of the changes in the code for a better and fairer rushing system cannot be decided as yet, since they have not had a fair trial. Indiscriminate rushing, excellerft in theory but a failure in application, certainly can he developed to the satisfaction of both freshmen and fraternities. The fraternity women could not possibly entertain the whole freshman class in the given time and many of the freshmen failed to attend the parties when invited and showed a general lack of Interest. The suggested remedy, that the freshmen visit several fraternities at open house in one afternoon, spending a half hour at each one, is one which Panhel lenic Council would do we:l to consider. Perhaps the fact that several of the innovations and changes were passed hurriedly to relieve temporarily unfair expenditures and rushing practices accounts for their absurdity and ineffectuality. With the. recent changes, a number of the fraternity girls do not en tirely understand the rulings, and this leads to many Misunderstandings. It is to be hoped, however, that the PreSent rulings are carried out during this week in :se- Cordance with Panhellenic Council. Professors' Children: • The moppets at Rec hall Saturday behaved them selves in exemplary fashion in resisting the copper shower that some of the lads were Went to cost to amuse their qacens. Of course there were a few miniature rugged individualists Who succumbed "to temptation and scrambled furitively on the floor for the pennies but they were rudely yanked batik to the sidelines by self-appointed disciplinarians. A friend of ours was sitting in the front row of the bleachers with his girl. A small boy behind them watched a penny rolling slowly and ominously toward his side of the floor. No one picked it up so s the hid scrambled over the couple and ietrimied the penny.

One night Harry Cromwell wanted a taxi and called for One as soon as he had finished shOving, in Order that it might ho there in plenty of time. Taxi came promtply and Har ry told them to wait a few minutes. They waited and waited, but Cromwell, being the world's sloWest dresser,' didn't show up. So the taxi left. When Harry found out that is was gone he was a bit piqued, and called them again. Sure, they'd semi a taxi up. And one came, but Harry still ivasift ready, and so they went away again. But he final:y did get dressed and then there wasn't a taxi in sight. He called a couple times but none showed up., Pinally he had a freshrimit call from the Signia Chi house and he walked up there to get it. That all happened some Weeks back, and now no taxi will come near the Phi Delt honie. The broth ers are no little sore, and threaten to bring the law down on the local company. + + + About Town and eitthplis Ray Tucker, Phi Kappa Tan, Went home' between semesters to announce his engagement to Ethel MA halyi, Coraopolis gal who was in the Thespian tap chorus last year . . .
