May Be Abolished
Pending the outcome of sorority

Council-proposed the abolishment

against presentation of favors at

and transfers who will drop in
with Out special invitation, and
, who. may remain only 30 minutes
at each house.

"Bonehead?" - said Miss "Shuk
Yee -,Chan, - pursing -her lips and
cocking her'head at the wqrd writ
ten on the blackbqard. Then sud
,denly her slanting eyes brightened
-behind the thick glasses and she
tossed her black hair back from
her_ cheeks.
"Oh, I see,"-.she laughed. "You
mean .there's nothing in it."
"Sookie," "an exchange student
from China• who has' been doing
graduate work. in plant pathology
at the College, is learning Amer
ican slang. Her slang instructor is
Prof. J. Ben Hill who also teaches
botany up in Buckhout Lab.
He is evidently using classroom
techniques in teaching Sookie, or
perhaps she is just an intelligent
pupil, for, as Dr. Hill puts it,
"Sookie learns very quickly; she's
a diligent Worker."
Indeed, so amazing has her pro
gress been that she astonished a
group of graduate students one day
by a slangful explanation of a
campus co-operative. "You see,"
she told 'them, "each person puts
two dollars in the kitty and every
thing's swell."
She took the word "bonehead" in
its literal sense one day when Dr.
Hill told her that he was planning
to quiz his students. "Softening up
the boneheads?" she asked in her
most nonchalant slang.
Since Miss Chan is planning to
spend another year here• ,there's
no telling how much more she'll
learn—about _slang.

We, The Women—
Penn State Spirit
Not A June Grad
ALUMIVINI DAY, -tomorrow, is
more than a weekend when old
grads come back to see the Alma
Mater beat the tar out of her op
ponent.
It is a weekend when fraternity
pledges sleep on the floor and co
eds push two beds together so that
Mary 'O2, and Jane '25 can get
some sleep.
It is the weekend that the old
boys and girls come back to extol
campus improvements and remin
isce on "the grounds and buildings
way back when."
It is the weekend once a year:
that the plums claim for their
own. Mr. Magnate meets ' Mike
Raboski and finds he is from the;
same class. Then theyaye pals:
for two .days, until Sundai—when
-Mr. M. goes .hack to run his com
pany and-Mike goes back to dig-'
ging ditches.
It is—the time for -successful ,
-grads to "tell how they did it" and
for others who will always be
freshmen to show the boys that
the bay window doesn't amount to
a darn and that they are still:
young enough for a good time.
It is the weekend they all pack
into Beaver stands and tell how
NO: 11 pulled that end around run
.that wbn the game against-Buck
sylvania back in •'O7. They will
say that was the year we should'
have - been in the Rose Bowl. •
It is the weekend that the Col
lege unites in' presenting "Beat
West Virginia" spirit—on frater
nity lawns .and on Beaver Field.
It is a weekend we all look for
ward to--for the chance to see our
grads come. back. And we'll wel
come`them in the way we will
want to be greeted in a few years
—with some good Penn State
spirit-something which doesn't
graduate in, June.
