A larger and more corn. Om student body evolved from the hodge-podge i of mass education and soon the proportion of fratetnlty men in relatgon to non-fraternity men, had dwgndled to an amazingly low level ' *NO FOCAL POINT existed—no focal point' exists today—where these thousands of non-fra tei nay students could meet in common fellow ship, where students denied the advantages of a li atei nity could assemble as members of a com mon society called Penn State to cultivate the •oaml side of thew lives and perhaps unconscious- r 1 v to transplant and pei petunte the clunk of this instituton in the, outs' world Under these coneitlons it Is no wonder, then, that the College should one day have awakened to-the startling fact that the 60-odd fraternities eprecerted no more than 30 or 35i per cent of the man students here and that under its very nose there hart arisen h problem undreamed of as recently as ten years ago—the problem ofrthe non-fraternity man, strewn helter .skeiter' throughout a small backwoods village, unable to find their place In the fraternity world, removed from the ordinary social necessities of a modern age Arid out of this condition grew an even more pressing problem—the breakdown of the solidar ity of a traditionally-united student body, the de velopment of a widening bleach not only between vtudents thenmelves but between students and the College That the College cannot long hope to prosper and woo in the presence of such unhealthy con dit.ons is quite evident TO THE END that these conditions may be. emedied, theiefore, the Collegian has championed throughout the paNt yea' the erection of a cen tral red Student Activate , " Building, the realign ment of students with the administration, the ilemocratmation of student government, the bet terment of student-11day relationships Today, despite doubts in certain quarters as to the feasibility 'of the plan or the motives behind It, the Collegian planes itself unequivocally be hind the movement to organize the non-frater nity men ann congratulates tete men who are In the driver's seats upon the man-sized Job which they have accomplished in the short apace of the last 12 days There ate still many people—many politicians —who feat the result of such an organtzation, fens Instilled by put ely selfish interests To those people—to these politicians—the, Collegian prof. fees the words of Dean of Men A It Warnock as spoken at the annual interfrato nay banquet one week ago Pi iday "In my opinion its (the plan's) political im. portance will soon pass For this reason—in a student body in which the division is 70 per cent non„fratei nity and 30 per cent fraternity It is politically impossible for the dividing, line be tween cliques long to continue to be fraternity affiliations "Within a year or two we are almost cei tam to see a new alignment—with fraternity, and non. inteifi eternity students evenly distributed , be tween two cliques not based on fraternity lines. "In 'such a situation the political advantage, that may accrue to non-fraternity students in. being, organized into social units like fraternity students will no longer be-a matter for any fra ternity politicians to worry about." 1 OLD MANIA I This Can't Be Love: Maniac's puze of a one-handed budge deck to the iecipient of the sou lest "soily-but" goes to Howie Castiow, phi sigma dolt, who teemed the following telegram fioni his prospective impost for I P DEAR DRIP TWO MILLION AND ONE UN EMPLOYED IN NEW YORK 4ND I HAVE A JOB STOP NEED I SAY MORE STOP ,FULL OF REMORSE LOVE STINKY Best Joke Of The Week We heard the funniest thing the other tiny A couple of the boys were yowling because fi ato cities were being taxed $2 50 foi each membe: attending I F Ball Last veni they were chaiged two bucks to catch Lily Will o,boine lend his syrupy baud, and this sem the sane guppies paid $3 83 to listen to Ellington They scummed blue murder because Senior Ball committee didn't book Goodman, Clinton, or Attie Shaw, and now they have the oust to gi ipe at paying a measly two and a half foi Clinton That's really funny These clnomc discontents ought to be stt ung up by then rat lobes Personally, we can badly wait to heal Ben• Wain sing Staitha and Deep Purple We'll meet you at the business end of Pm d Lem y's ti ombone Pnul S Haldeman.
