Sample ’3l) Managing Edilnr Thls Issue. News Editor This Issue Tuesday, February 8, 1938 > TIME TO WAKE UP NOW THAT INTERFKATERNITY ball is but two months away and in general it Is lime for Intorfratcr nity Council to consider next year’s rushing code, the Council may wake up and do something to justify those keys. This year. Council may wake up to a strange ami singular turn of events that will make the hoys even wash their eyes in cold water and rub extra hard to take away the sleepiness. This will he too had, because no I. F. council over had to do that before. The prolt lem that may he so embarrassing is the fact that prob ably there will l* no rooms available in town for a two weeks’ period at the beginning of the next fall term. With workmen occupying all available rooms at high cr-than-student rates, landladies will not be in the mrod to rent rooms for two-week. transients. Fraternities as a rule cannot afford to wait a whole semester or year J*or freshmen to move into their houses. More than merely a fraternal problem it is one that embraces local economic and social situations. Lack of rooms next fall will p»sh home the point, again that, a fraternity is" mostly a place to eat and sleep. Yet, it will be more than a passing bit of activity tliai the Council will find itself worrying about It’s a shame, to make the organization work after all these years, but it will have to produce tin* time if fraterni ries are io meet their bills next year. TONIGHT’S CRUCIAL TONIGHT’S CRUCIAL TEST between the Lion basketball team ami Temple may decide the champion ship of the Eastern Conference. Spectators in Phila delphia Friday night were agreed that the Lions have an excellent chance of turning the tables on the Cher ry and White. Rut win or lose, one salient fact is already *e-lab lished. Penn State lias the best heskethall team in a number of year. Never has the College been more bas ketball conscious. In two seasons the coaching of John Lawlher and the fighting spirit of his players have raised the College from the depths to the height* of basketball. Small wonder is it then that the College, the town, and thousands of friends throughout the slate are pull ing for a Penn State victory over Temple tonight. HOW TO WIN AN ARMY IT IS IRONIC to note that one of the contributing factors to the ousting of Field Marshal! Werner von Hlombcrg in Germany and Hitler’s rise to the hem! of the army was the Fuehrer's undisclosed objections 1«* von Blomberg’s wife, a carpenter’s daughter. Undoubtedly Hiller is resting more easily now that he is sole boss of everything that is German. He feared, perhaps, what the .Japanese army did to its em peror in the way of Panay bombings, French agitation, and British insults. Hitler may save himself from embarrassment abroad now until he is ready for war, but we wager the wolves that now will-hound his door, demanding immediate action to restore Germany's colonies and lost glories will in the end prove more dangerous and sapping to the power of the ambitious fascist. STATE POLITICS EVER .SINCE JOHN L. LEWIS indicated tliat he lik’es Lieut. Gov. Kennedy pretty well, the flavor of state politics has been getting spicier. .Gifford Pin chot’s hat in the ring has helped make things interest ing. Dean Warnock intimated in the Centro Daily Times yesterday lhat he thinks Pinchot has agreed to repre sent the Republican as senatorial nominee. Me thinks that James will be nominated for Governor. In the Democratic ranks he thinks that the Cuffey-EarJe trade has been preserved and that Kennedy bus been prom ised the opportunity of succeeding Guffey should the latter win.
