THAN ,i‘c months have passed since the half-dozen campus lionorary societies, nuclei pi essui e of various student groups, unanimously voted to place their finances tinder the audit of the Interclass Budget 'System Despite the fact that the action was not taken of then own volition, the societies—manned most, ly by new members desirous of shaking off the political yolk of the past—deserved the undi vided applauge of the student body After years of underhandrd col ruption cloaked in Mannishseriecy, senecy, they had finally moved in the dnettion of placing their own house in oi dei, in the (hi ec lion of tegaming their former prestige Yet in the six months that have Intervened, three of these socleties—Lions Paw, Skull and Bones and Friars—have failed to file their ac counts with Student Union, as they unequivoc ally pledged themselves to n do when they accept ed the pl,sn What's mote, they have—all M teem—failed to follow up their pledges to just fy their ex istenco Not a single honmaty society has done dnything to lead to, the solution of many of the fundamental problems facing them today TO BE SURE, some of the societies—notably Blue Key and Druid's—have aided matelially in i eqoi mg campus spud , by their strict enfoi ce ment of college customs. And on other occasions they have offered then services as ushers at' all college affairs Poi this the Collegian has given them due credit. liowevei, as the clean-up campaign launched last May, nears the erid.,,4 , tts first yeah, many -- ;1 vital 'nibble-Ma still iermun unsolved: t the in earnest about nlacineliey,financial setups under the Budget Briton: cip'are they only biding„theit time in an ticipation of the day when more apathetic lead us will bri hn contiol of the student body° 2—ls it really necessary to have six societies ho e or have some, like Sphinx (which died a natural death just a' few years ago), outlived their usefulness? I—Should the !present haphazard system of choosing members be continued or should the hon. ntai 'es be lecognwed as such and membership placed actin dingly upon a more iepiesentative and a more rational basis, I—Should the present exclusiveness be permit ted to continue of should some piovision be mnd, to offer membersh p to students who may not have made their mark until the senior , veer, a titation now impossible? THESE ARE BUT a few of the mole import ant question., facing the hat societies, questions which must be anowered before the societies can evei hope to teach their former heights It is for this reason, then—to place the honor ary societies on a sounder and more honorable LMlS—that the, Collegian sails upon . Senior Closi President 'Joseph A 'Peel to call a meeting, of Student Board and have it undertake 7 as Ifs:fi nal duty—the complete investigation 'of, the 'eye : tem of honorary societies here, an honest invest!. gatiop aimed only at constructive ends, but :in investigation with courage and foresight enough to destroy any outworn evils that may be un covered. If the honoi my societies are sincere in their ` pledges to clean up, here is their cluince to co- opeiate. Certainly nothing could be fairer TIME MARCHES ON? CALIBRE OF SOME of the leading members of the State Legislature was revealed just a fort night ago when the Senate voted on the ptwosed., constitutional amendment to legalize 'absentee voting in Pennsylvania Twenty-two of 29 Republican Senators lined.mq , against the proposal. Why? Because ( 1.) it was , ' introduced by a man who bore a different party label; (2), because one Senatoi from Altoona has a general principle that no person should be,per r , nutted to vote on anything he personally ills favors; and (3) because another Senatoi froni Bucks County said it ,would' be , too dgficult to contiol absentee votes in election. Thus, 20,000 college students throughout the state, including more than 2,000 at Penn State alone, will be forced to return to their Riles on future Election Days or lose their privilege to vote—unless the plan is resurrected from the Legislative committees and approved by the elec• torate .. Small wonder then that the Legislature should move to throttle education in the state. For the greater the illiteracy, the greater their. political power.
