PAN-HEL AWAKENS
PANHELLENIC COUNCIL, awakened
ti am post-rushing tithe; nation, recently
toll, a step tonards a workable rushing
code
A foul-week period of nattn al contact
co ith freshmen -when College opens in the
Fall pi (anises to ielieve and benefit both
sra only women and the Class of 1944
Women best equipped to advise freshmen
will no't he cut of f and no longer will upper
class-freshman contacts be limited to Big
Sisters and Senior Sponsor groups
In pi 0% 'ding natural contact the council
look the load of get-togethers off sorority
shoulders The embarassment of looking
on while rushees eat was sti icken from this
years code, and a "Dutch it eat" basis of
entertaining substituted
Natural contact, if not abused, is a fea
ther in Panhel's rushing cap, but if abused
a hai e and hound race will undoubtedly de
velop , ,
The code, to work, must be observed by
each house and not perused fol loopholes.

DEAR COLLEGE
Tnank you very much foi the splendid
time this weekend We Om oughiy muoyed
ourselves and we al e glad you had , aich nice
weather for the May Day exec cises
However, we didn't secs moi e than the
start of Lhe exercises in flint of Old Main
because we were in the third Low back and
soon our toes and ankles got tired and our
neck became stiff.
It was a shame, too, because we noticed
the grass was just as green and the sun
just as bright on New Beaver Field which
has seats for 16,000
Better luck next yeas

PENN STATE COLLEGIAN
Trustees Pass Up Request For Dorm
WSGA and Mortar Board
Condemn Town Rooming
Hetzel Cites Lack Of Funds As Reason
For Action; Enrollment Increase Continues
Action on the Requests of Mel tat Boaid and WSGA Senate for a
new women's doinntoty was passed up by the Board of Trustees dur
ing their visit het e last weekend because no funds are at present
available, Pi esident Ralph D Hetzel reported yesterday
Mortal 'Boat d and WSGA Senate had mitten letters to the Boaid
last week asking for the new dormitory on the grounds that down
town (intim:tot ICS me divugani7ing to women activities
The women's groups pointed
out that the seven downtown dor
mitories make It difficult to keep
the women's program comdmated
Women's sororities cannot offer
a solution to the problem because
they house comparatively few co
eds and sevei al of the houses have
been condemned with the College
unwilling to. encourage further'
building, the Trustees were told
' It was pointed out in the ,let
leis that WSGA Judicial cont-
mittee found women living in
downtown doinutoi les entering
the excuse that they hadn't heard
about the rule when hied Joi in
ftactions of the WSGA code '
The present women's emoll
ment lags behind men's mote than
3 to 1, with no considerable im
provement possible until 'more
dormitories are provided, the let
tem said
Women's ernollinent has stead
ily increased since the opening of
Frances Atherton Hall in Septem
ber, 1938, and conditions now are
becoming nearly as crowded as
before that time
Us Gals
Rehashing the weekend might
have as much effect as petitioning
for an international disaimament
conference, but recording some of
the criticisms might help next
year's committees improve on an
es , ,ive but short May Dny
prom am
The dancing (what these was of
it) was good note to costume
committee—next year put the
dancers in COSTUMES (they de
serve it) for a change the poles
were wound without looking like
rag rugs in a ravelling bout,
More bleachers ,would have enab
led more'people to see the bevy
of beautiful bouquets, attractive
attendants, and the clowning of a
regal queen (who said Penn State
coeds are sad 9) more slips
would have erased the Petty-like
visions through flimsy gowns
Had the number of senior women
who signed up been in the hemlock
chain a good deal of color would
have added to the procession
Biggest weekend disappointment
—that so few freshmen turned out
foi the Cwen breakfast in Mac
Hall Saturday morning For the
first time in May Day history the
commons wasn't crowded If the
apathy shown is indicative of the
class in general all we can say Is
—give the strawberries and bacon
rolls back to their patches and
pigs
To Mortar Boards and Cwens—
what could be more ironical than
birds chirping cheerfully at 5.30
am
From the music played through
out the procession we judge that
as a music honorary Phi Mu Alpha
would make a better honky-tonk
