CORN IN COLLEGE
As one of the biggest week-ends of the winter
sports season approaches, it is well for Penn State to
stop for a moment and survey itself in retrospect. Just
what will Penn State have to offer its guests; just
what impression will they take back with them?
Penn State has Inng been known as one of the
most pleasant places to which a team might come for
a game or a meet. Penn State's attitude towards a
contest was not one of rabid partisanship; rather it
was one of keen appreciation for the line paints of a
well-played game. Can that he said of Penn State
This year, there has been a growing tendency to
ward disputing referees' decisions; an increasing mani
festation of partisanship on the part of spectators. You
may toss this off lightly, foaling that the situation is
not in the least serious. This is true, but no one
wants to see a spirit fomenting here similar to those
of other eastern universities. One moment's thought
on the part of each one may, forestall the growth of
such an attitude
Then, too, a long-standing rule around the campus
has been that of no smoking in Recreation ball. This
year, certain individuals persist in this despite re
peated protests from Loth players and administrative
authorities. It is almost imperative that this practice
cease.
The fraternities on the campus can do much to
avoid one very unfavorable impression this week-end.
That is the disgusting habit of carrying fraternity ini
tiations beyond the confines of the chapter house. Such
things hhve no place at an athletic meet. It is well to
ask for cooperation on this score, but it is absurdly easy
to go one step farther and brand any house which
might do that as a jazzy groat; of pretty crude indi
viduals.
INTIMATION THAT ' , ERA jobs may not be
given to fraternity men next year may cause consid
erable squirming on this campus. Inasmuch as half
these gravicd jobs must be given to upperclassmen,
just where will the authorities find enough people
with the time necessary to jump aboard the political
plum special?
AVere this a college where belonging to a .fratern
ity implied the possession of great wealth, such a rule
might he practical, here, however, where the cost is
only a trifle more than an ordinary boarding house,
some study should he given to the question before a
definite ruling is made.
AS YET,'TIIP, threatened libel suit against this
paper has failed to materialize. The staff wonders,
anxiously. Ilan our friend forwarded our attempt to
Afr. Ilearst or has the matter been dropped? Will the
entire senior board get jobs as a result of this much
wanted publicity, or will they all be forced to go on
relief like every other college graduate?
CUT THE DANCE COMP LIST
Soph Hop committee is voicing a protest in regard
to the dance comp list revisions put into effect last
April by Student Board. They want each member of
the committee to receive two tickets to his own dance
instead of one, as in former years. This extra ticket
for each committeeman, they claim, is necessary for
them to carry out pre-election promises.
Student Board's move last year was one of its
finest accomplishments. In one single sweep the dance
comp list was reduced from 131 to ninety-eight, a de
crease of thirty-three, or a potential profit of $108.90
at $3.30 per ticket. That list can be cut still further.
If each class dance committee member were given
two complimentary tickets to his own dance, one to be
used by himself, and 'none to the other dances, the comp
list could he cut approximately fifteen more.
There is no reason for the committee members to
receive free tickets to the other dance classes just be
cause they are on a dance committee. Men are ap
pointed to dance committees as .a reimbursement for
work done in the pre-election campaign. Only fifteen
of these men are rewarded for their work by appoint
ments, while the others go empty handed. Would it
not Ise better for the committee member to receive an
extra ticket to his own class dance to hand out to the
men who worked in the campaign, as n reward for
their services?
Instead of .increasing the number of complimentary
tickets for any one dance by this rearrangement, the
number could, instead, be decreased by cutting out the
free tickets to the other two class dances. This would
also create a potential profit of almost fifty dollars
per dance.
A few days ago Herman Hirsch of Beta Sigma
Rho astounded the brothers by dashing into the
shower room in great haste, demanding space in front
of the best washbowl and mirror, shaving furiously
but, at the same time, meticulously, and scouring
himself to a pinkish cleanliness. He amazed his
roomie by devoting fifteen minutes to blacking his
shoes before donning his freshest undies and clean
est shirt, jazziest necktie, and most recently pressed
suit. Following these preparations; he spent live or
ten minutes ogling himself before a full length mirror
before Madill!' manfully to the phone booth and
lulling his girl laity ill:donee.

Deanie Ilosmer, Kappa Kappa Gamma, for no
reason at all, (applies to the following, not the fore
going) has a penchant for penguins. She has about
twelve of the things, or at least facsimilies of them,
in her rosin at the little white house and entertains
lin*self by arranging them in various formations
which.she learned while watching R. 0. T. C. drills.
Recently she endeavored to enveigle local merchants
into giving her the penguins used in window adds for
popular cigarats but met with a rebuff. Since that
time she has written several letters to the company.
COMMENT
There's nothing looks so interim•
As the average penguin's posterior;
It's so close to his feet •
It may he incomplete,
But it keeps him from getting wearier.

Mild, Jewish Center,
Admitted To Campus
A Hine! Foundation—the rallying
center of the religious, social and re
creational activities of Jewish stu
dents—will be established at Penn
State this fall.
Announcement of this fact 'was
made, in Philadelphia Wednesday by
Judge Joseph L. Kun, representative
of this district on the Mlle] Founda
tion Commission,' following confirma
tion from President Ralph D. Hetzel.
The liillel Foundation has been
maintained by voluntary contribu
tions from members of the Jewish
community. An effort to raise $25,000
as the contribution of the Jews of
Philadelphia toivard the maintenance
of the institution' will be made.
The money raised will serve to
pay for the services of a man in
State College to direct Jewish stu
dents' activities. Efforts are now
being made to have him appointed to
the faculty with 'the provision that
the Foundation poy him a salary and
not the College.-'4,,

The Hillel Foundation is located on
great many campuses throughout
the country. This wil•I be the first one
to be established in this State. Plans
were begun for its establishment here
last year, but they were altered and
the Foundation was. set up at the
University of, Alabama.

To the Editor
I, also, am amazed. Not to hear
that Mr. Hearst is a liar, because I,
in company with practically every
one of only average gullibility who
has ever laid eyes on a Hearst ed
itorial, have been aware of this fact
fpr some time. It is quite true that
no reference to Mr. Hearst's sterling
character ever appears in the bour
geois press. This is due largely to
the fact that Mr—Hearst owns or
controls a very large slice of that
press. An for the remainder, there
is an old what you Americans call
"saw" which holds that it is indis
creet for pots to make slighting re
marks anent the color of kettles.
However, the Daily Worker, an ex
tremely boorish rag, has taken the
stand, in no uncertain terms, that
William Randolph ("Heil") Hearst
is not merely a liar, but a thief, a
blackmailer, and a bit of a sexual
pervert no well. Now there is noth
ing Monsignor Hearst would like bet
ter than to sue the Daily Worker
out of existence. And there is noth- '
ing the Daily Worker would like bet
ter than to get the old coot on a
witness' stand. So there you are. Mr.
Hearst is not going to sue the Daily
Worker, and much lels the Penn State
COLLEGIAN. I thought you would like
to know this—you can unpack your
bags again and everything.
But• about my amazement. The
Henderson editorial was the finest I
have ever seen in the COLLEGIAN, so
help me. (I've seen several.) And
the editor's reply to the anonymous
ly indignant storm-trooper fairly
fried the cockles of my heart. And
the two of them were enough to
amaze anyone who is familiar with
the poppycock' which ordinarily Pass
es for journalism at institutions of
higher learning. Gentlemen, I stand
amazed!

Tunes and Trivia
,Song requested most last week by
Lombardo listeners was—of all tunes
—"Winter Wonderland". Lyrics for
this were written by "Chang" Smith
'27, now going great guns on Broad
way. What's more, lw has written a
complete set of appropriate lyrics to
above tune for the new Thespian
show, and a whole setting is being
built about the "Winter Wonderland"
theme.
Personal choice for tunes of the
week—"l Believe in Miracles," "Isle
of Capri," and "Every Ftpy". F. Mar
