ANOTHER YEAR,•anothei Suph Hop, another deficit I , It's the old .troy and it's lastly becoming a Penn State tradition Coupled with the fact that good bands are sel dom available at a date so near Christmas, student finances ai e usually all but sapped by a hectic Fall reason replete with Housepaity, Penn and Pitt Mcekends , Hence, a big dance pi ior to the Christmas holi days will not pay 101 itself unless a nationally. prominent "name band" is piocured The impossi bility of this is self-evident, else this year's as well C 9 last year's Soph Hop Committee would have signed i bigger band than Red Norvo oi Bunny Bengali To alleviate this medicament and to save Soph flop - limn its amine! financial nose dive, several comae, ate open. , The whole "big weekend" social card could be juggled mound so that Soph Hop would fall about the second weekend in January Coming after the holidays instead of before, a bigger band could doubtlessly be obtained, student pocketbooks would he replenished and still the date would not serious ly impan the profit-making chances of the dances that follow in the Sluing. To switch Soph Hop Weekend with Interfra teinity Ball may lead to another possible solution of evading an inevitable loss Because the tariff on IF Ball never exceeds two dollars (which is usually paid by the fraternity anyhow), Interfra teinity Ball might succeed where Soph Hop fails and will continue to fail. If neither of these proves satisfactory, it might be necessary to scratch one of the big dance week ends since thole is no percentage in sponsoring dances that laibitually flop and continually lose money One factremains—unless definite steps are taken to remedy the pre , ,ent set-up, Soph Hop will die a horrible death —R LW TO THE WOMEN ARE YOU doing your pelt? Every yea' as the big weekends roll around we hod petty thieving going on in the big dorms This yeah the %%omen's fraternity houses have been'add ed to the list You pi obably iaise your eyebrows when you read or heat about some unfortunate woman losing money, jewelt y or smaller articles But wait until the thief takes several dollars from your purse When that happens you will be in the same posi tion as the girl down the hall who lost thirteen dollars last week, at the frateriuty house that was looted of small sums of money and pins Not until then will you get worried and complain to the chaperon, but it isn't her fault It's your very own fot talking about that allowance from home or leaving money in the room without lock •ing the dooi.

One good method to stop this epidemic is to keg) quiet about that extra five dollars in your hui eau drawer, even to your best ft tends Indicative of the lack of 'utmost on the women's part to this problem is the fact that very few of you have gotten keys from the Purchasing Agent's office , Get these before Thanksgiving vacation and lock your Looms Only by this method can you be sure of having everything intact when you return.
