It is encouraging, however, that plans are -being pushed to organize the team. regardless of the ivfi sal. The league’s reasons for denying Stale membership were based upon regulations, demanding round-robin competition and a schedule limit of six g-imes. It was said that if State were to he admitted adherent- to (hose regulations would be impossible. It takes seven teams to play six round-robin games. With Cornell’s acceptance this year, State would make the eighth team. Also mentioned was the financial difficulty in moving the teams of Yale, Princeton, Rutgers \Mla- nova, Pennsylvania, and Lafayette to Slate College. This argument is less convincing as Ilh:ica and New Haven are not “just around the corner.” Rejection of the Lions makes Dr. Schott’s prrbem just that much harder. It is indicated that games will he scheduled with such teams as Pittsburgh, Carnegie Tech, Syracuse, and possibly Temple. The 150-pound team should move ahead to give students he>«. the chance to play football, but competition with loose teams lessens chances of ever being admitted to the so-called Ivy circle that refused us. The teams that wc must play are on 'he Ivy black- We hope that the fact that Penn State does not grow ivy as high as Cornell had nothing to do with Die de cision.. Once again Penn State has been refused en- tree to the select company of the Ivy clientele. We can hettcr judfce the League’s sincerity uhen one of the teams drops from the league, having a va cancy. Several-of the.smaller colleges are reported to he'e-n the verge of such a move. Dr. Schott is to lie commended for going ahead with his plans. Perhaps when the -sport is established for a year or two, wc- can crawl up the ivy into the select NOT ENOUGH ROOMS THE COMPLAINTS THROUGHOUT the campus about the use of the vjater tower, the sheep barns, and Irvin hall for classes this semester show little of the co- operation and spirit that is essential to he College in a time of building stress. Only a small child would beef and complain about rooms this semester—a person who neither thinks or cares. The College in its present plant is overcrowded. The College with the cooperation of the State and Fed eral government is alleviating that condition ns rapidly ns possible. The College is trying to offer educational opportlunitics to as many persons as p>irible After intelligent consideration none hut the spoiled and the foolish would complain about the commandeer ing of unusual places for classrooms. The best under the present circumstances .is being done. If we are to childish shout such a small matter, how intelligently are we going to conduct ourselves un der stresses far more critical? REPEAT EXAMS DISCOVERY THAT -PROF OLEWINE has given the same examination for Chemistry ,30 three s*mes- tors in a row makes the average person wonder what queer quirk of circumstances made it-necessary.. Was it. done to pass a respectable number of students in the At any rate it strikes us ns a peculiar method of ed ucation that is distinctly unfair to non-fraternity men and equally favorable to fraternity men. Fraternities possess extensive final examination fflcs. Non-fraternity groups do not. Fraternity men could (and did) memorize the final. Weird, to say the least. Room Trouble: 'Through no fault of Ray Watkins, (they just ain’t no more rooms) sonic funny tilings have arisen from (he new system of distributing classes in all nooks and corners of the campus to utilize all space. Some few years ago when they built the sheep barns a classroom was included in the structure hut never used. The other day Mr. Watkins found our about that pleasant abode and ’scheduled a class for the sheep barns. Since the room hnd never been used before, the sheep tenders luul converted the place into a maternity ward for lambs. The class trooped up to the barns and found three young lambs nestled in the corners. JAY H. DANIELS 'SB BiiftlnrJU Manager CARL W.

Like' fishermen, the iYa»- ternity women are nervously waiting to pull up the lines to,see how many pledges they, have angled.-Meanwfhile, the rushee is suffering from an attack <«f last minute indecision. Should she join a fraternity?’ If she-is being rushed by several, whicih one should she join?. T|'ie rushee need ‘not fesl that she is obligated to make the final decision Sunday; if she is in doubt about join ing a fraternity, she should wait until t-hc- has made up her mind. It is better to wait a while than to-break n pledge. In ease the rushee fin'ds that ?fie is not suited to the fraternity or that zhe'cannot' afford to join one,-slhe will be wise if she does not pledge. Sjie will be in the majority group because two-thirds of the women here are non-fraternity; - If she is genuinely, .interested in two fraternities she should consider [ the congeniality of the group as the i main factor; attractive ifovors make an impressive party but do not'iridi | cate a harmonious group. In judging i che frate: nity, it is necessary for the freebman to consider how many mem bers she knows and likes. The influ ence of one friend should not sway her (decision if she does not care for the j rest of the group. Perhaps the opinion of people from home is. forcing hg. to (hooso a certain fraternity. She should remember that chapters vary on every campus, and that she is join ing the local group. ! , The rushee should also be wary of -naming a second- and,third chotcj bn ' the prcOcreius ballot unless f/.ie is positive that she would be willing to pledge either of the fraternities. These ballots are to be taken to Dean Ray’s office in.; Old; Main by 3 o’clock Sunday :Ctevnoon. In case of indecision, the rushee is asked to sign the •ballot-stat ing that she is unable to join a fra ternity at* tftis time. STOP! LOOK!
