A NECESSARY SACRIFICE
At the meeting of hall:salty pi esidents Tuesday
tight, although a pledge of coopeintion to any sort of
ienefit alTan was indicated, thew was a marked senti
nen* against any kind of Ind, Waal assessment toward
milting up the students' shine of the Loan Fund. The
method used in 'rising the 'mimed amount is of little
onsequente, but it is shsolutely impeiatne that an
i'equatc sum he iar.ed men if it means sonic individual
am Mice on the pact of students.
Penn State , not alone in its present difficulty.
An appeal for donation to a loan fund in rode' to save
the college etneeis of newly 500 students was issued
by Di Flank GI alum, piesident of the University of
Ninth Cni ohne Doctor Citation addiessed a mass meet
on;, of student., facult,l, menthe's, and townspeople, ask
ing that betneen $lOO,OOO and $200,000 be subsciibed Cot

The amount need°i Iseie does not equal that at
the soothe, n institubon, but it Is set y likely that many
prominent students mill he towed to lease College unless
they ale able to dime upon a loan fund. At present the
'eminent , . of loan , icinesent practically every fraternity
at Penn State, Ind many others mould gladly make use
of funds if they mete emulable Without the least

or pinileges Then they will ask why-the system was

If, dininn the year, there p, no disagi cement N oiced,

Ind no %owe in the rrattel
The tuuhtional means in which all women could
c•spie,, then ',test, on government was the mass meeting.,
v here questions could be 'nought up before the three
maim ganwatioin . an campus—the \V S C A, \V A

Because ,omen students es idenced no cooperation
ith the mganwations winch sponsored these mass meet

With the tettun of pi opei lv managed maw meet

FRATERNITY

college press more than their shale of echos° cut
'meson and comment. While come of the char gei• levied
against them are true, otheti, ,111 not hold ,ater.
But, in ninny instances, popular opinion has e‘etted
itself against fiateinities in questions ,here they
ought just as ,ell have been gisen the li.inefit of the
doubt

Univeisity and the outside cc 011 a—that of om alumni
—is maintained by the flateinities Thigilung cache

it is oar guess that should they disappeal suddenly

With all its weaknesses, the American college
fraternity does a lot for its members and for our
universities Its place as an educational instrument,
or even institution, will remain ,lust as long as the
fraternity accomplishes its end. The best insurance
of its continuance will be n lecognition by fratern
ities, in a manner 'imam to that followed by indi
vidual men m Alum a house, of their own slim tconungs

fraternity human enough to be weak, and strong as

Keeping ahead

To keep telephone service in step with the
swift pace of American life, Bell System men
tackle many an absorbing problem, find many
an ingenious solution.
For instance, they decided that pre
cious seconds could be saved by a change in
long-established operating routine. The
operator used to repeat the number called
by the subscriber— now she indicates that

To appreciate the importance of the
second thus saved, just multiply it by the
40,000,000 conversations handled by oper
ators on the average day.
In the telephone business, major improve

give him better service often result from just
such apparently minor changes.
