What's Up With The IMA?
What's up with the Independent Men's Associa
tion? Anything?
Collegian wishes the answer were icing and com
plicated Apparently it is not. There is nothing
lip with the IMA. All is quiet on that front,
The IMA had better not reply that there is noth
ing Up because there is nothing to do. Organiza
tions that have nothing to do have no excuse for
ckisting
Pounded two years• ago and dedicated to the
yrentiositinn of improving the tot of the indepen
dent man, the IMA grew perhaps too
, fast for its
cWn good, launclied an ambitious program of in
creasing social opportunity for the non-fraternity
;group, won general approval, arid then fizzled. out
like a half-cent firecracker.
if no one could accuse the IMA of hurting any
thing, not much would have to be said about the
Yilaiier, and some dark night before the odor got
too terrific, a shOvel crew could take the corpse
exit and bury it quietly t
1-loWever, it persists in calling itself an Indepen
dent Men's Association, persists in calling spas
linddic and badly attended meetings, pretends to
I•Je doing a job it really is not doing, and a job it
this prevents anyone else from attempting.
Like IFC the IMA needs the strong faculty
counseling that has been asked and hoped for in
an enlarged dean of men's staff, but, like IFC, the
IMA should manage to do a little something fot
If the IMA has conducted any exte.nsiv, intra
rotirals this fall, Collegians has not heard of them
If it has had more than one well attended meet
ing, Collegian is surprised.
If it has undertaken—not just thought about—
any organized social program to match that of the
fraternity system, that is news.
If it has seriously tried to boost its membership
vThidli has dropped from 17 to 11 units, Collegian
41as not heard of it.
If it has started—not just talked about—even
one worthwhile new project, Collegian will be
glad to know about it.
If it doesn't do something or start something,
Collegian is going to have a lot more to say.
The Mountain Lodge
teunds provided by the All-College Cabinet
Tuesday night niche it possible for work to begin
next March on the mountain lodge provi , jed for
tiy the class gift of 19.3
The funds wilt allow completion of only the
central portion oC the lodge with full kitchen,
and dormitory facilities still to be provided.
Collegian did not and still does not believe that
it was wise to erect only part of the proposed
Cabin and then wait for more ftinds to appear, but
action how must be based cm what has already
beett clothe.
The opinion of the Cabinet on thiS matter
*eras to indicate the best - possible course and the
&Rine which the All-College Nicreation Commit
tee favors: That every effort shall now be press
cB to raise immediately the several thousands of
dollars necessary to complete the lodge in all re
spects so as to make it unnecessary to endure its
.
obvious deficiencies.

Leon "Shaft in the Draft" Rabinowitz, we un
derstand, is the proud possessor of a nice low draft
number in the Philly district. In fact, it looks
very much as though Leon would receive the real
life sure-enough shaft in June.
Incidentally, Leon will M. C. for an All-College

egnefit Events
We note with interest the news item on the
front page of yesterday's DAILY COLLEGIAN to
the effect that the college had levied 385 fines of
$5 each in enforcing the Thanksgiving Day class
cut Rule. That ain't exactly hay!
We took three or four math courses around
here, to say nothing of Money and Banking and
every time that we figger it out, we get the same
total—sl92s in fines. That still ain't exactly hay!
So we came to the conclusion the only smart
thing for the Bursar to do is to stop by McLan
ahan's and get one of the new Buxton Wallets, that
they arc featuring for the Holiday trade at $2.00.
Anyone who has that much money ought to have
a safe place to keep it, and those Buxtons sure
fill that bill or something. Smartly designed in 4
black or brown, they'd make an ideal gift. Yes,
they have the Lady Buxton for Women and that's
plenty smart, too.
Seeopiet* The Sumer
Ent,
We have it on good 'authority that the -Maniac
has uncovered enough evidence and plans to write
a red-hdt expose on the fact that Penn State Co-
Eds prefer Mary Lincoln and Whitman candies
over any other brands, sold locally at McLana
hans (adv't).
With this valuable fadt at yaw' disposal, you
don't. have to haVe a Phi Beta Kappa key on your
watch chain to arrive at the conclusions that; 1,
Mary Lincoln and Whitman candies. (sold. at. MC-
Lahahans) are very popular on this campus: 2,
Tither one would make an ideal gift• for any co-ed. ,
Both are Gift Packaged. Mary Lincoln sells two
pounds for one dollar. Whitman's a pound for a
dollar. Advertisement.

Letters to the Editor--
Reader's Opinion
On Maniac's Column
To the Editor
• The organization of which you
are the head has the motto, "For
A Better Penn State." Is this motto
just five words or is the Daily
Collegian for the betterment of
the Pennsylvania - State College?
You permitted some idiotic nin
compoop to jeopardize the reputa
tion of one of our women students,
Miss Bischoff. Any person who
hasn't enough mentality to res
pect the women of our institution
is an ignorant
. ass who should
never have entered our college.
Yet you allow him to write for our
paper.
At the beginning of each year
when the Collegian is enticing
subscribers, your sales Men tell us
how splendid it would be to buy
two Subscriptions and send one
home to our parentS. Please tell
us who would want to send this
issue of December 14th home to
his parents?
Mr. Smyser, as editor of the Col
legian, you have erred in permit
ting such an article to be publish
ed. You should read this "scandal"
column before it is published and
determine whether everything is
all right. When we say that every
thing should be all right, we don't
mean that it should only be true,
but we also mean that the remarks
made should not injtire anyone.
As -for our part, we think that
you owe this girl an apology which
should be written in the Daily Col
legian to 'show that you aren't a
nincompoop yourself.
Sincerely yours,
James G. Riddell, '4l
