November 25 Now- a mere matter of loutme from the Administration must follow to assuie a capacity student ciowd as well as those paid admissions who would attend regard less of'when the game was played. In .the view of the fact that Soph Hop falls on Friday night of the same weekend, the weekend looms .is one of the biggest in Nittany Lion football history. But it would amount to little if the stu dents were not available to attend either occasion . For many years the College has looked forward to viewing Pitt’s Panthers on New Beaver Field Foi neaily as long students have'sought, a favorable date for the ever flopping Soph Hop. , ■ Until'President Roosevelt’s questionable juggling of Thanksgiving Day, the stage had been set foi a State College “field day.” Now, does it not icem logical in order to retain the “big weekend” that the Admin istration and students forget about the or iginally,scheduled Thanksgiving vacation— from 11:50 a.m. Wednesdaj, November 29. to B,a. in. Monday, Pecembei 4—and accept a one-day holiday on Roosevelt's Thanks giving Day? However, let it not be accepted without compromise, or pulling a "David Harum.” , Fqr the two days which would be lost by omitting the Thanksgiving vacation—thal is lost by, the students—the Collegian pro pose®'a tjvo-day vacation at mid-semesters in February. - Long has such a lay otf been clamoieu for. Arguments foi this proposal hav e been advocated, m the Collegian many times. Students,and faculty alike tavor a vacation at such a time. Here, is a definite opportunity to attain the Pitt game with all the ti immings Heading uphill NOW IN THE MIDST of a do-or-die struggle to secure men, Penn State’s 50 fraternities are definitely on the upswing despite rumors to the contrary More than 500 fieshmen purchased date cards and are enjoying one ot the most hotlyj-contested rush seasons in a decade. Incoming freshmen no longer possess that-bad taste in their mouths when fra ternities are mentioned—a taste which was unfortunately brought about by the unfair portrayals of college life by movie produc ers. A l M Admittedly, fraternities put on their Sundfcy 'accent and a bit of celestial finery during rushing penod, but underneath it all dies the* core for greater social privileges for students. Basically all fraternities are social groups, knotted in common fellowship, seeking a more-rounded col'ege education an education which cannot be gained in the classroom alone. Penn State’s fraternities are no excep tion. OLD MANIA Cnmpy mentions in the last column that he’s been waiting all summer to pay “Hello.
