LOOKING AHEAD IN
FRATERNITY AND NON-FRATERNITY
RELATIONSHIPS
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS in the In-
Lcrfratei nity Council and the Independent
Men's Association indicate undeniable im
ovement in both co ganizations toward
the advancement of a greater Penn State.
'I ne 'cunt adoption of a new ai range
-aent under which IFC books will he audit
ed quarterly, placing the Council on a sound
financial basis, is an Important step of
pi ogress. The new rushing code, the Ira
lenity handbook, the Interfraternity Sing,
and other activities attest to the success of
the 1939-40 edition of IFC.
Pat alleling this success is the IMA's ac-
L,eptance into the National Association 'of
Independent Men—a notable achievement
for an organization in its initial yeas. The
growth of units, the IMA Ball, and other
tunctions have contributed to making the
first yea] outstanding.
But, the achievements of this year's
Council and this year's Association are but
a drop in the proverbial bucket to the pos
sibilities for these oiganaations of the fu
ture. If the incoming members are as ac
tive and efficient, these groups will have
unlimited opportunities to advance the wel
fare cf the fraternity and non-fraternity
systems and of the whole student body in
the greater Penn Slate which is to come.
While the MIA is still in an embryonic
stage and needs only to strive foi continued
expansion, the WC ha%, been well-estab
iished on the campus.
Nevertheless, both organizations may
profit by this year's mistakes—few as they
may he
Both groups should meet more i egularly.
No body can he a powerful, active force if
A meets approximately once a month at no
definite time with about half of its mem
bers present. Interfraternity Council has
suffered on numerous occasions because at
tendance was slight
Once both organizations streamline their
membership qualifications and attendance
..egulations, they will he ready, to capitali7e
on the myriad opportunities to be powerful
factors in our College life
These opportunities are limitless:
They may serve as true clearinghouses
far fraternity and non-fraternity ideas and
policies.
They may take definite action to raise
the scholastic average of both groups to a
higher level, by offering such incentives as
scholarship cups and by encouraging pro.
gressive study methoths.
They may give definite impetus to the
movement for vocational guidance and
placement of graduates, perhaps establish
ing w central bureau to aid each fraternity
and' each unit in planning its own place
ment service.
They may institute a joint circulating li
brary of recent books to supplement the
lihraric-3 of individual living quarters.
And, featuring the list, they may corn
•-•zne in extending the efforts tO break down
the now-diminishing barrier between the
fraternal and non-fraternal groups.
Penn State's Interfratei nay Council and
Independent Men's Association should heed
the words attributed to Benjamin Frank
lin: "United we stand, divided we fall."

Well Fancy That! ,
Thanks to the elicits of Co-Edition and Miss
Julia Gregg Brill (of essay instauction fame),
Campy has Just teamed that there's absolutely
nothing wrong with the appearance of the Penn

survey of 450 guts, and ninety-nine-and-forty
foui-onehundiedths percent of them admitted
that they not only ate attractive but also dress
well Three of the gals (bless then honest souls)
anmitted that they had a little trouble with their

To the Edam
Penn State Collegian
Nearly a month ago a Collegian
ai tide stated that Dr C W. Stod
dart, dean of the School of Lib
eral Ails, denied the benefit of
founding a School of Business Ad
ministration
The members of the profession
al haternity, Delta Sigma Pi, wish
to refute this article irt . whole and
by parts
We grant the dean that some
industries do have specialized
training in then fields and do
rely on colleges only to supply a
general background But, we
ask, what are those, graduating
from the commerce and finance
curriculum to do when they are
employed by the many concerns
that do not have their own
schools'? .i Is it fair to throw the
burden, of , education on industry
when colleges and universities are
founded for just that purpose 9 A
School of Business ' Administra
tion would train specialists in any
phase of business
Secondly, a separate school with
with business and cultural sub
jects intermingled would give the
broad background the dean fav
ors and at the same time permit
stlidents to speciallye in the fields
they are interested in
It is true that a separate school
would increase expenses But; af
ter all, isn't adequate education
the right of the taxpayers who are
supporting students not now satis
fied with the commerce and fi
nance curriculum and students
who now are getting very little
out of it?
The argument that a new school
would force faculty members to
take salary reductions has no
basis It doesn't stand to reason
that any person with as high a
calibre of education as a profes
sor would take a reduction an sal
ary just to teach in a separate
school. On the other hand, the
standard of the professors would
rise and the salaries would rise
simultaneously

Comparatively now at the game
of electioneering and campaigning
and with no experience of this
kind in , WSGA elections, we wo
men have the power to sway' thc
election one way or another But
let's be sensible and spend some
time thinking before we go to the
polls next week
With'politicians from both sides
hounding us and friends,trying to
tell the most convincing campaign

too willing to let someone else do

to jot down the qualifications each
candidate had to gain the nomina
tion. By balancing one against the
other we can deckle which we teal
best qualified for the office And
then we should vote, for it is on'_,'
by voting that we can ever hope to
have a voice in student govern

sufficient PARKING PRIVI
LEGES
Instead of being allowed to park
in the tear of the Lilferal Arts
Buildings—an area convenient to
general class buildings—students
are forbidden to do so At the en
trance to this area there - is a sign
reading No Student Parking Al
lowed In This Area" Titus, it is
to be concluded that this area is
"Reset ved" -tor instructors and
visitors only
It isn't only parking behind
Liberal Arts that seems very un
fair, but the fact that we cannot
park on Pollock Road, behind the
Engineering Buildings, or in other
convenient places
Students are restricted to three
areas:which are so remote from
the general class buildings that it
makes it almost uselesi to drive
cars to classes even, In bad
weather: Apparently student driv-`
ers' are getting the short end of
the bargain when it comes to Col
lege privileges.of this type _
I agree that such areas as be
hind, Old Main and others used
specifically for College business
should be restricted, but why
should instructors be given pre
fei ence over the students in other
areas Why can't all other park
ing areas be open lor,everyone's .

This question has been idle talk
among students since cars have
been permitted in College, and it
is my sincere hope that someone
with a little authority yvall, read
this article and do something
about it with the students in mind
