FOUR WEEKS AGO today, a Collegian editor ial pointed out that a financially successful Soph Hop, under existing conditions, was highly im iiiobabl---impiobable for the following reasons• 1 Name bands with adequate di awing power to pay foi a big dance me seldom available before the first of the yea' 2 Student finances ale usually all but sapped by u socially active Fall season r eplete with lion.epai ty, Penn and Pitt Weekends. Ac per specification, Soph Hop again nose dived beautifully into the red Ink—and to the depth of an estimated $B9O deficit This loss resulted through no fault of a Committee which worked hard The dance was a social success, even though it followed its financially unfortunate predecessors' by losing almost en ough money to build an inclined railway to Ag Hill. As fai as the Collegian has been able to find out, Sophomote Hops held in December for the past three yews have resulted in a gloss floppage of $1,59, or an aver age deficit of $415 per yea, which comes out of the common fund—lnterclass Flnanef Thus, the Collegian believes that became De ember Sophs habitually flop and continually lose money, r.omething must he , done to remedy an obvious situation that is growing worse with each yea' IT IS IN view of these facts that the Collegian submits the following plan as a possible solution for lessening the yearly loss—and by still' main taming a class dance The Collegian advocates an All• Sophomore dance, without a big name band, to dihich all sophomores would be admitted free on presen tation' of their matriculation cards Under this plan, sophomot e men would he pet mined to °semt women of any class as well as out -ideN Sophomore women would be allowed Co in vite men of any class as well as outside's In this way, the Collegian feels, at least one member of rvety couplr would be a sophomore As lar as financial arc angements covering the cost of such a dad& ace concerned, the Collegian suggest.; that Interclass Finance handle the agair i ntirely 4 local band could be obtained, the cost, of an elaborate deco' ation scheme could be cut and "the! expenditures could be reduced to the leasi, ommon denominator—all of which would pioba lily cost slightly more than $2OO For instance, if this plan had been in use for the dance just past, a deficit of only $2OO instead of $OOO would have been carried over to next year In ()the] words, in succeeding years $7OO less would have had to be made up from other dances, or by interclass penny ante TO ALL OUTWARD appearances then, 11.9411M mg this plan is adopted, a better balanced social calendar would result, a lot of sophomoyes would have a lot of fun at a dance which would be exclu sively their own, the profit-making of the dances which follow in the Spi ing would be bouyed con siderably, and the necessity of scratching one of the foul big weekends (since at least one of them flops every year) would be tendered nil Frankly, the Collegian believes that if it comes to the place where one dance must be sacrificed to save the other three, that dance, foi obvious unisons, should be Soph Hop Rather than have this happen, the Collegi an hopes that some plan, even It it is not the one suggested hereon, will be adopted to save Soph Hop from absolute extinction. Let's take the "flop" out of Soph Hop and give the dance back to the sophomores MISFIRE WILSON S GEISLER, an engineei ing student with plenty of ambition, received only 29 votes in the Freshman Class elections last Monday night .A 5 a lone-wolf candidate on a "Progressive Lion" ticket, without any organization backing, this is not at all surprising. Whatever chance Geisler had of being elected, however, he tossed away by pi omulgating a platform,, which, when translated into common sense,- meant absolutely nothing Freshmen, therefore, proved wise in not falling for personality and electing Geisler on that basis alone What the Collegian hopes, however, IR that this defeat .does not prompt Geisler to quit politics here. Perhaps with some additional time in which to acquaint himself more thoroughly with the needs of the student body, Geisler will comeback next year stronger and wiser than ever. The Collegian hopes so—became men like Geisler are needed. CAMPUSEER , EY HIMSELF Dean Of Women Denounces Love As Being Detrimental To College Excerpt from the Collegian of 1944 December 13, 1944—Cailotto E Wraye, dean of women of the Pennsylvania State College and Day Nurser y School for Young Females, today denoun ced love on the campus as being "entirely sistent with the fundamentals of an education?! institution " "Love," she said, "is what every 'lady' tiles to avoid If any gill is caught being in love she will be subject to a court martial, hei patents will be notified and the whole subject discussed to detei - mine whether he, pi esence on this campus is helpful or harmful to hei self oi otheis " When asked how she will find out whither or s not a gal Is in love, Dean Winye stated, "I have an organwed group of twenty-five stooges who snoop around every fraternity lounge and dm on to) y parlor, who inspect each co-ed's lips when she ietui as at night, who see whether of not her face becomes flushed wheri asked if she is in love" Susie Stich '44, pi esident of Women's Stooge and Gime Association told 11 Collegian reporter that, "love 14 all bosh, the only love L have is Col my hooks and my dear professors" IThe End (I hope) Of emuse, we all Icahn that the to-eds lie Young women in name only.
