HONOR SOCIETIES, once referred to os ‘■political springboards to be manipulated by interests seeking to perpetuate then own control,” haye since been on the up swung. The trend has been toward the bet ter Yet, with the petition foi a new honoi society pi esented by the Independent Men'., Assotiation to the All-College Cabinet, the cry of “Investigate l ” has been emitted. 'Hie IMA proposal was tabled by Cabin et pending the housccleamng. Just what (he outcome of the finds of the committee will result in is difficult to forecast. In any event, the time to take stock of the existing system has arrived once again. , The committee may find that students no longer respect the honorary societies, that selection methods' aie questionable; that deserving students still are overlooked. It may even discover that some present so cieties are overcrowded, hence unwieldy, in efficient, and generally disintegrated - If the latter should be revealed, it would indicate that too many honorai les are now' existing. Why have another’ . Let it he understood, the Collegian can not predict this to be the outcome. Nor will the Collegian make an issue of whether the proposed organization is justifiable. Sound in principle but lacking an imme diate motive, the IMA hat society would he lagged “independent ” It is 1 egi ettable that this should occur for such diftei entiation would tend to replace the barner between fraternity and non-fratei mly men which has gradually been whittled away. On the other hand, proponents claim IMA would be only the organizing foice and would withdraw after the initial selection of members—students who would be chos en because they weie deserving, regardless of affiliation, and had been overlooked by other societies. Whether the current petition for another society is approved or cast aside matters little to the Collegian. Despite its outcome, it will re-awaken the campus hat societies —those which are slacking. Time, some gi oups have been active, some have retained a clean-cut method of select ing members, some have cooperated whole heaitedly with the new financial setup 01- ganized especially for the handling of hat society funds But, the detrimental facts must be faced again SPARKED BY an “intangible,” the Nil tany Lion football team ignited with dev-, astating pel fection to amaze the grid world in general and Ppnn in parliculai last Sat urday. Hats off to a pair of three-ply combina tions: Brawn, Brains, and Bedenk; Power. Pep, and Petrella. Joe Bedenk is the unsung hero who so methodically scouted the Pennsylvania team. Pepper Petrella is the lad who’made Bedenk’s task successful. DESERVING PRAISE may be directed to the Cabinet committee for investigation of all possible places available for social functions. But, some day a Student Union Somebody mode a brilliant suggestion to us the other day The young genius (we can’t remember just who it was) pioposed that pre-season eondi tiomng, training table, etc., be established foi tlic student body as a whole not the football team Judging from Penn week-end, it wouldn t be a bad idea While the.foolball team, wmch was sup posed to do the heavy duty, escaped unscathed, the same can’t be said for the lot of students who mode the trip Despite the sad condition m which many of our numbers returned from the big city, reports from competent sources indicate none of the casualties will keep legulars fiom making the Army trip.
