THE A. A. CONSTITUTION
Following the lend recently set by Student Council.,
when its constitution was revised and brought up to
date, the Athletic Association seeins to have proposed
several amendments that should promote th . e efficiency
of that organization
It is a significant step to abolish the privilege of
alumni becoming members of the Association by pay
ing the regular undergraduate fee of fifteen dollars.
This has become an almost forgotten practice of re
cent. years.
It seems wise to expand the powers of the Board of
Athletic Control so that it "shall represent the in
terests of the Association by advising with the Direc
to• of the School of Physical Education in all matters of
policy and procedure affecting intercollegiate athletics,
and in the selection of such members of the staff of the
School• as may be concerned with the coaching of in
tercoilegiate athletic teams.'
This amendment should help to avoid any situa
tion similar to one tht occurred about a year ago. Such
a representative Board should be Able to assure the
College of a sane middle-of-the-road procedure in the
future conduct of intercollegiate athletics.
The amendments which change the method of nomi-
nating the officers of the Association should be voted
upon favorably. A committee of coaches, captains, and
managers should be able to make.fair, impartitd
nooii
nations which would remove the offices from the present
situation of mere political• footballs. •
Establishing one polling place in Old Main rather
than one in each School may be dbjected to on the
grounds.that many students will fund it inconvenient to
reach such a polling place in ohe day, but this is far
offset by the fact that one committee can more fully
guarantee an honest election, The committee for the
class elections of the last feW years,have demonstrated
that that is the most efficient way to conduct ballot-
If tennis and golf are awarded six inch letters by
the student body, it, will Mean that every sport has
been advanced to a major sport standing. When it is
reindmbered that a year ago, lacrosse and 'cross-country
were advanced from a four fo'a six inch litter, it seems
only fair that these last two . sports-be givezi sonic eon

They compare these junior societies to the appendix

AND ONCE MORE the season rolls around when
the cry is 'heard, "We heed more tennis courts." The
annual plea seems to fall on deaT ears as the Athletics
for All program goes merrily on its Way. We are now
waiting for the annual protest from the women students
that they are unable to use the courts hack of Women's

their spare dime. We've discovered one group of
damosel who've solved the problem very neatly. It's
a sort of game with a' score board & everything.
The gals are the Theta Phi Alphas, who live
on Center Drive, which, it seems is a populous thor
oughfare around seven thirty onwards every night.
Well, the ingenious ones have a porch, the game
starts when about ten of them have parked themselves
in chairs etc. on said porch. Then they wait for cars
to come along. They don't care what kind of cars they
are, just so they have gentlemen in them.
For example. A chevvy roadster containing three
guys rolls along the drive. Sister number I waves, yells
"hyuh," and waits to see what happens. If the gooneys
in the ear shout hack "Hyah. Sister" number 1 gets
eight (A) points. If they just wave, said sister
gets four (4) points. If they don't look around, it's
a foul, on grounds of the guys' exceedingly poor
hearing, but if they look & don't wave or holler,
the waving sister gets four points deducted..
It's really quite a swell game... We understand,
however, that if the autoist stop to chat, it's an error,
and "Oh, we thought you were Joe."

The Lion suit signing erase, which always strikes
us as an annual sales campaign put on by the foun
tain pen makers of Americ.; seems to have developed
an interesting sidelight. "Rock" Rohrbaugh watched
people starting private autograph collections all day
the other (lay, and it went to his head. So he decided
to *start one of his own, of a really original medium
for signature getting. He got his little collection in
the unusual corner, and got nourishment at the same
time, It all started because he had a sudden yearn
ing to cat a couple of raw eggs, which; we understand,
is most easily done cutting a small hole in each end,
'and inhaling, dumping the correct quantity of salt
into your mouth at the same time.
"Rock" convinced that waitress that what he
wanted lens a raw egg, finally got it, consumed it,
and then looked at the empty shell and had an idea.
He went around to booth after booth and collected
signatures, inscribed carefully of course, so as not to
break the eggshell. After the first shell was covered
with names, he figured he might as well do the thing
right. He yorked on the proposition some three
hours. Now he has eight egg-shells, all autographed
by famous personages like Hortense Gans, Yougel,
Mateo., and Adelaide Green dangling on a string in
his room. It looks very. nice, they tell us,

Sandwich Men Pray for Nature in
Its Ugliest Moods for Best Trade
There are at least a felir persons on
the Penn State cantons who like
stormy weather—the worse the bet-.
ter, and theSe are the sandwich men
who make the rounds of dormitories,
scrorities, and fraternity houses six
nights a week.
These men, the answer Wu hungry
student's prayer; declare the best
night for selling food is Tuesday. On
other nights they find thht there are
too many things•going on, like chap
ter meetings on Sunday and Monday
nights,. and dates on week-ends.
Confessions were made to a
COLLEGIAN reporter by the invaders
of living quarters in some rather
frank statements. One of them ad
mitted that one of the reasons he en
joyed his job so much was that there
was always something going on at the
women's living centers.
Sunday night, 9:58 o'clock, seems
to be the most intriguing time. ."On
other nights, the men have usually
.left by the time I get around, or else
they're not home with the women yet.
Ten o'clock is a-most interesting time
because When the girls hear the bell
on my wagon clanging, they suddenly
become hungry and send their boy
friends out to get them a sandwich
before they leave.."

"We sandwich men don't - go around
on Saturday nights because there are
too many elates," another declared.
"Naturally, we don't object to having
one - night a week off. Of course, we're
not interested in having dates, or go-.
ing out with girls ourselves—but we
do like a little free time. The troul
ble is, some people just won't believe
it." _
Women's houses are much more
popular with the sandwich men for
three reasons, explained another.
First, the men tend to congregate
there; scondly, the girls always buy
inure than the men; and' then, of
course, some of them are much more
congenial customers.
The best time to invade the frater
nity houses with their wares, they
all agreed, is late at night, because
the men, as a rule, do their studying
later, and their hunger troubles thein
later also.
