WHAT, ANOTHER?
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

just who it was) pioposed that pre-season eondi

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
