Vozzy Saturday Mornirig, Ddtember 14, 1940 The Mountain Lodge - -Whole Hog Or None ? Although a fund of $2,00 is available fur:Use in erecting an All-College Mountain Lodge, Col legian believes the student body should Propose d - inating this money until it means that a lodge with full facilities will be erected. Collegian, of course, has no real say in the inat. ter lint common sense seems to distate that all Stu dents shciuld oppose any plan that will not erect a lodge with dormitory, kitchen, and toilet facili ties. Currently just such a lodge is under considera- The Class of 1939 gave the College a fund now totaling $5 ; 358.14 for an All-College Mountain Lodge. This was only one-third enough to build tfie lodge desired. Continues agitatiOn for imme diate erection of the lodge and the failure of addi tional funds to appear have resulted in a modifi cation of the original plans. The new and important Recreation Committee I!as now proposed a lodge designed by H. Dercum, of Cleveland, father of Ski Coach Max Dercum. It inchides a fUll basement for storage and work shop under a 30' x 60' combination dining-lounge, a dormitory for men, a dormitory for women, toilets, and a kitchen unit. Because of limited fund! it is now proposed the lodge be erected without kitchen, toilet and dor mitories. In effect, the committee has sanctioned the erection of a beautiful barn, hoping it will in :Tire the philanthropy necessary for completion. Doubting that such philanthropy will be inspir ed, and more inclined to believe that the building wilt stand for a good many years as nothing more than a barn if erected that way, the Collegian sug gests that the students demand either a lodge with the necessary facilities or no lodge at all. They are in a position to make this demand because the All-College Cabinet must rule on the disposition of $2,000 now idle in an unused Varsity `'S" fund. It is that $2,000 that the Recreation Committee seeks, to comok..te the fund of $7,300 which the grounds and buildings department has estimated will be necessary to buy the 'land and build the lodge without kitchen, toilet and dormitories. The committee should be required. to follow one of two courses: (1) Cut the costs so that the building with coin piet3 facilities can be erected. for the $7,300 now in sight; or (2i Be given the idle money only if it can secure—before it starts building—the funds neces sary for the erection of the full lodge with satis factory equipment. EI:l",'I First Success The first successful act of the new Recreation Committee has been to open Recreation Hall for the use of students on Sunday afternoons. Last Sunday, the first time this privilege was enjoyed under the new atrangements, about 300 itlidents Used the gym floor. the Ortunittee, headed by Dean A. R. VliarriOck, is tackling many of the All-College recreation problems that before this time were shunted from cne irresponsible officer to another irresponsible officer and filially passed off because. no one was willing to go to the necessary pains to get action.

We , hope the rodents have a rotten Christmas and a lousy New Year. Drydock vs. White Rock . Just to get away from the touchy subject of drinking, and incidentally show you the most en tertaining way out, have you been to the Drydock this year? For 50 cents per couple, Bob Baker and Emil Flounders, non-salaried managers, will show you- a better time than you could have at any beer party. Tonight's program brings up Roy Rogers (not of Ranger fame) as master of ceremonies, and the Three Stooges, not to mention some clever song parodies for the audience by Hum Fishburn: ;It's to be a Christmas party with presents for everyone. In case you haven't heard, the Drydock is in the basement of Old Main and open Saturday nights only. We'll see you and the Phi kappa Sigs there! Etat Meets West East may never meet West, but believe it or not the Kappa's haVe met the Theta's! It all happen ed at the SAE house Wednesday night when 25 Theta's (who never Miss a dinner bid) walked into the above fraternity and straight, into the bosoins of 25 of their mortal enemies, the Kappa's (who ditto)! You might expect that one or the other of the s-s-s-s ororities would take the other for a ride but-you guessed wrong. The SAE's took them both for a spin when they gave them Christmas presents after dinner. Walt S'cott was Santa Claus so none of them got Coal in their stockings (if they had stockings) but some of them wished they had. We understand that Winnie (The Wonderful) Bischoff (K) received a fish, which according to Santa Scott, fitted her well in not one -but several ways. Firstly it fitted because Winnie is noted for her beverage capacity, secondly because she is a heartbreaker par excellence and has even had several of the pobr fish on the line at a time, and thirdly because of her deadpan expression. Merry C hristmas,—W inn ie! seat Me, Daddy Jean (Mama will spank) Stiles (T) was given a scrub brush as a token of appreciation for her work on Judiciary Committee. Judiciary Com mittee, in case some of you have never had a Campus, is the women's organization which re primands the girls if they don't sing the Alma Mater before dinner. For Your Pleasure . . . .

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN MANIAC Thurs., Dec. 19 Letters to the Editor-- Mr. Setlow '43 Goes On The Pan To the Editor: Let us say that we were more than amazed when we read the article in the December 5 Daily Collegian authored by Mr. Set low. Amazed, not because the editors saw fit to print such "stuff" for we believe in an un censored press, but amazed ,be cause one such as Mr. Setlow had the audacity to advocate such measures. Who is this Mr. Set low? Briefly, he is a self-cen tered individual with distinctly radical tendencies along all lines of behavior. Coming from 'Hart ford, Conn., 'the home of Yale University, I can see how he !nay have been influenced towards radical thinking by mere circum stances of environment. How ever, did Mr. Setlow stay at home and go to Yale? No. .First he tried the University of Miami which didn't prove up to his high standards, so he majestically, out, of the goodness of his heart, of= fer‘ed . to permit the instructors of Penn State too bring out. his in nate abilities. Like most colleges, Penn. State has the tradition. Of compelling the freshmen to wear custorris.H Naturally no freshman likes them, neither did we, but we think that The spirit is worth More than the inconvenience. They tell us Freshman Week that if we get anything out of our four years at State, it will be that cov eted Penn State spirit. What is this spirit? Frankly, we don't know. Maybe it is the rapport and the sense of cooperation one acquires by playing with other State students. Perhaps if 'Bernard Setlow '43, would forget that he is the savior of the freshman class and re member how he tried to bully certain freshmen in Jordan Hall the first week of, school—all con cerned would be better off. We think that Mr. Setlow is rebelling against the hazing directed at him some weeks ago because he couldrft take it, rather than the plight of the poor freshmen. As a member of Jordan Hall we offer an apology to Lew Cor bin, who was one of us in the past years, for the narrow-mind edness and ill manners of Bernie Setlow.. In the future the Hall will try to educate its members so that they may become assets to their class, their school and our country. Stan Kraus '43 •P. S.—You freshmen . better forget- about the rebellion Mr. Setlow has scheduled for the 13th. Better save your energy for the fight with the sophomores --good luck. Students Ask Change In Artists' Course To the Editor: As newcomers to Penn State, we are curious to know the purpose of the Artists' Course. It would seem that a program of four worth while concerts at a college would be planned for the pleasure and education of the students. Why, then, are only 773 tickets available to a student body of almost 7,000? If there were no other auditorium available, the situation would be understandable although undesir able. ,Why wouldn't it be possible to schedule such entertainments in Rec . Hall—other colleges solve a similar problem by using ' their gyms. If it is a question of acous ties, we think it would be an in vestment to install some equip ment and sell more tickets! Surely, at least 50 per cent of the students would welcome the opportunity to hear Paul Robeson, Jasha Heifetz, - the - Cleveland Symphony, and Anna Kaskas. Mite R. Smith '42 Jane A. Deriek (Gradnate) Harriet S. Danndhhauer '42 Five new courses have been added to Augustana College's eve ning school.
