ANNUAL LEITZELL NOTE
Every year at this time the COLLEGIAN is forced
to condemn some petty action of Burgess "Clean Mor
ally and Financially" .Leitzell. This curt note, since
that seems to. be the way notes are described these days,
has never failed to appear in this column every fall
since Leitzell's election.
This fall's note wishes to call the attention of State
College voters to the apparent absent-mindedness and
lack of consideration of our jolly good burgomaster who,
always a military man, marshalled his stooges, advanced
and captured a good part of College avenue near Allen
street, and then proceeded to lay waste to the captured '
ground with buckets of red paint on the day-that some
1400 freshmen and their parents, plus several hundred
upperclassmen, arrive in town.
Of course, Colonel Leitzell could have saved his
campaign against College avenue for a day and in 7
stead practised. on some street that does not handle so
much traffic, especially under such abnormal conditions
as existed last Wednesday, but then he doesn't get a
chance to make two thousand people go out of their way
every day and the temptation was just too, much.
The COLLEGIAN hates to suggest things, but frank
ly now, why can't these streets, if painted they must
be . , be painted at night as they are in every, other town
and hamlet without disrupting the traffic.
THE RUSHING CODE
The 1935 rushing code is a great tribute to the in
telligence and thinking ability of the members of the
Inte;fraternity Council. ;Mtt•the handling, of the date

ternities to'give'the Council' all'the'ciidiferatlffflitailife"
and it is 'up to the Council to see that a more efficient
code is provided next year.
In regards to the manner in which the freshmen
got their date cards Wednesday night, one might de
scribe it as an inefficient tangle of "smoothies" and
breathlessly stupefied freshmen. The lobbY of Old
Main seethed with brilliantly clad fraternity. men anx
ious to snatch up prospective freshmen. In fact, there
were so many fraternity men there it was practically
impossible for the freshmen to get their cards.
The cause of it all was the failure of the rushing
committee to realize the size of their. job• Another
factor in the failure of the committee to. handle their
job correctly was that they went at the job as though,
they could stand around and play big shot, perhaps
impress the freshmen with their own, importance.
The Interfraternity Council now has brilliantly de
cided that it would be better to. give, out the date cards
in the section meetings by the student counselors.
Yes, let's close the door; the horse has really been
stolen.
THE "DATING" SITUATION
There has been' a great deal of consternation in
every fraternity and undoubtedly in the women's dor
mitories because the present rules governing unchap,
evened women in fraternities allow the women to. be
in the houses for only two hours at meal times and at
no other time
Last spring when this ruling was made by the Board
on Student Welfare the COLLEGIAN stated that it should
not be taken seriously mid predicted that the new rule
would never be put into effect. However, the rule is
now in effect because the Interfraternity Council and
the Women's Student Government association have not
bothered to make up a set of rules which would be
satisfactory to both the Board on Student Welfare and
their own groups.
Months ago the Board on Student' Welfare asked
the two student groups concerned to draw up a new
set of regulations governing this situation as the rules
then in effect were very unsatisfactory to the Board
because of the constant abuse of privileges by the stu
dents.
The student organizations have neglected to do their
share of the work laid out,for them. To draw. up. anew
set of regulations would be but the work of a few'hours
but they have seen fit to remain dormant to , the' incon
venience 'of a large part of the student body.

Until last week, it looked at though
any, of, the boys, and girls who chtficed
to. be in Manhattan on. Sunday, night
might be•able to see a legitimate show
if their hearts desired, but no—the
Stagehand's-Union has again made, it
'impossible for the: producers to get
back into the black ink again. Their
demands for a wage increase on the
extra .performarce are so outrageous
that all except John Golden's "A
'Touch of Brimstone" will give up any
'idea of a Sunday performance. Some
of the producers are thinking of cut
ting out the Monday night perform
ance. and working 'Sunday night,
thereby keeping within the eight-per- ,
formance limit.
Radio sponsors are .becomiag so
insistent in their demands for some
thing different in the way or pro
grams that NBC is thinking of set
ting, up. a' short wave set on a neu
tral tramp steamer and sign Floyd

Ethiopian coafffetLif Mussolini de
cides to stage, General Foods or
Colgate Palmolive Peet will probab

probably relay. the broadcast, from
a, plane to. the ship and. thence to
NYC. The .Baer-Louis broadcast
won't even be able to stand up
against competition like that.

of a job in a brokerage house.
' That was 'in 1929. In the spring.
of 1980, Sock found himself floating
.around the debris of the crash.
He came-to Penn State, and has been
putting on musicals here ever since.
Some will remember his first show
in 1930 called "The Dutchess and the
Dutch." In 1931, he put on "Redlly.
end Truly"; in 1932, "We the. People";
in 1933, "Ole King Cole"; in 1934,
"My Stars"; and then those memor
able hits of last season, "Don't Let
On" and "Bergin' Around."
