Religious Organization
Celebrates 75th Year
Penn State Christian associa
tion, which is celebrating its 75th
anniversary this year, is the chief
religious organization on the
campus.
Founded in 1875 under the lead
ership of S. A. Taggert, the task
of PSCA is still primarily a relig
ious one. Its offices are in 304
Old Main.
By means of coffee hours, mix
ers, and discussion groups, the
association stimulates interest in
r vocations, religious pr o b l ems
public affairs, and social action.
Round Table
The Round table, a group com
posed primarily of new students,
met every Wednesday night. Sing
ing and a worship service usually
preceded the speaker, and occa
sionally movies were shown.
- Every week a Coffee-orum was
held to give students an oppor
,' tunity to discuss topics of current
interest which were presented by
faculty members.
Systematic thinking about re
ligious, personal, social and world
problems and the relevance of the
Christion faith to all of them is
carried on by the PSCA through
the four commissions. These com
missions, composed of interested
students who meet regularly on
Tuesday nights, include both
study and action in their pro
grams.
The Personal and Campus Af
College Charters
Lit Magazine
Penn State students have no
reputation for levity, but never
theless three attempts to estab
lish a serious literary magazine
at the College have failed.
Undaunted, student leaders last
year drew up plans for a fourth
attempt. The Inkling was char
tered by All-College Cabinet,
which assisted with funds to be
applied to the debt of its defunct
predecessor, Critique. Thomas
Morgan, then editor of the Daily
Collegian, headed the committee
which began planning for the
new publication.
Sam Vaughan, later also nam
ed editor of Froth, has been serv
ing as temporary editor. Origin
ally conceived as a photo-literary
magazine, plans now call for a
straight literary effort.
About 100 candidates appeared
last Spring for the first meeting
and a survey conducted by the
staff seemed to indicate that stu
dents felt a literary magazine
was needed.
The Old Main Bell, Portfolio,
and Critique have been prede
cessors of the Inkling. None have
operated successfully for more
than a year, according to Mal
colm White in an article written
for a College booklet covering the
history of student publications
since 1859.

Perm Stale Club
Fills Social Life
Life has been richer for inde
pendent students at the College
since founding of the Penn State
club more than 25 years ago. Now
larger than ever, the club con
tinues to offer social activities
to non-fraternity men.
Begun in 1925, to fill the gap
in independent social activities,
it has grown continuously •in
prestige and strength until it
has become one of the strong
est independent groups on cam
pus. It now has more than 300
members.
Peak Years
1939 and 1940 were the peak
years of the club's enrollment
before World War 11. Member
ship at that time numbered 250.
The war caused the club to be
come nearly defunct, and it was
slow in getting back on its feet,
but, the organization now is
moving faster and going further
than ever before.
The biggest social activity the
club sponsors is . the annual
spring talent show, for which it
gives cash prizes to the winning
contestants. Other social activi
ties sponsored by the club are
mixers at the women's • dorms,
an annual semi-formal dance, a
senior banquet, picnics, hikes,
and an award to the outstand
ing senior man of the year. In
addition, instruction is given in
golf and tennis. Entrance of
teams in the College intra-mur
als rounds out the club's sport
activities.
New Appeals Court
To Begin Functions
A Cabinet amendment to the
All-College constitution, passed
late last semester, established a
Student Court .of Appeals that
will hear appeals from Tribunal
and Judicial decisions concern
ing all-College rules and regu
lations.
In cases involving men's and
women's living unit regulations,
men will appeal Tribunal decis
ions to All-College Cabinet,
women, to the WSGA Senate.
Final decisions in cases involv
ing other all-College rules and
regulations are to be made by
the new Court of Appeals. The
Court also decides what rules
come under all-College regula
tions and what rules are of a liv
ing unit nature.
Independents Publish
13i-Weekly Newsletter
The Association of Indepen
dent Men and Leonides added a
publication to their services for
independents last year.
The Independent, a. bi-weekly,
four-page newsletter, brings
news and features about inde
pendents, their activities, and
their organizations to both men
and women students.
This year's staff is headed by
Stanley Degler, editor; Edwin
Singel, business manager; David
Colton, managing editor; and
Geraldine Kassab, woman's edi
tor.
