The IMA Goes On Trial
Ail-College 'Cabinet has called on the Indepen
debt: Men's Association among other organizations
report on its program to the Cabinet. The date
is 'Tuesday, February 18.
yn other words the IMA has :something over five
weeks to show that it meant what it said when, in
tc , sponse to Collegian editorial comment, its presi
dent called its outlook "very bright", and pledged
0 - Aise - If to improve an admittedly bad situation
There is no longer any question that the IMES,
record so far this year has been unsatisfactory and
hos sloughed far off the standard a student organ
ization with its potentialities should meet. Both
MK members and non-members have agreed on
that point.
The . TIVIA's present laudable position is that it
is now going to set about improving itself. Nothing
could he better or more desirable.
The Collegian hopes this desire will be exploit
ed to the fullest
• It hopes the IMA will first of all find within it
elf. the desire to mend its organization
It hopes something will be clone about making
vap the membership losses suffered this year.
It hopes an adequate intramural program will
t_• pla nn ed . •
Yt hopes an adequate social. program. will be set
It hopes the IMA will show some interest in the
cebolarship of its member groups.
1:t hopes the IMA will show an interest in the
Kousing now available for independent men.
In short it hopes the Independent Men's Associ
ahon will do everything to bring as many non
fraternity men as possible into a stimulating su
prrAwisnry organization which will provide for.
fLern the same social advantages now enjoyed by
Al Item ity groups. .
The IMA last year had that objective and start
ed in that direction. This year it has foundered
r;‘) badly that Collegian felt justified in saying that
the IMA no longer truly represents the indepen
dent men and thus no longer has a right to con
tinue to pose itself as their representative and to
xend a member to All-College Cabinet as their
4_Pemesentative.
In face of the re-awakening interest in the As
r6ciation and its promises that its program will be
intensified the Collegian is anxious to see the or
mmization have every chance t- improve itself.
Febrtiary 18 it will give the organization
every bit or cooperation and then will listen with
interest to the report which the Association makes

T. Dorsey. But No Committee
Comes the New Year and many:strange things
happen. All we know is what We'se'e,liear, and
lead. Strange as it may seem, we picked up our
copy of Variety, the theatrical newspaper, on the
morning after the old anno dozninihad-waned and
saw under the heading, "Band Bookings" two lines
which simply and concisely read, "TomMYDOrsey,
February 21, Penn State College."
Being the morning after a great celebration we
looked twice and a third time to make certain. But
the same words appeared in undeniable black and
white—Tommy Dorsey, February 21, Penn State
College. Variety did make an error in the date
which is February 28 but apparently Dorsey has
definitely been signed for Seaior Ball, All of
which is quite strange in view of the fact that a
Senior Ball Committee for the Class of 1941 had
not yet been selected. We have no, kick coming
about Tommy Dorsey. Our only complaint is in
the way he was chosen.
Variety's regular comment on band bookings
was more than disillusioning on New . Year's Day.
Wk's An Old Ode:
In these 'days of zero Weather
We often hear folks growl
"Oh I wish the sun would . shine,"
As the wind begins to howl—
Travelogue
We took a page out of Ernie Pyle's travel book
and decided to see what the Chamber of Com
merce has been raving about down at Miami. We
believe Mr. Pyle might have achieved better re
sults in his trip from Lisbon to London had he
‘iitchiked the way we did.
On the palm-studded beach we noticed Howie
Ostrow, Jack Olkein, Sol Joffe, Stan Marcus,
bobby Ernst, Harriet Singer, Bea - Winn, Eleanor
Stein, and George Schenkein sunning themselves.
mcidentally Olkein, Joffe, and Ostrow cracked up
their car with Ostrow receiving six stitches in his
!eft Wrist and one on his forehead.
While riding with a truck driVer we found a
dead negro in the road, a victim of a ruthless hit
and run driver. State Police (Georgia) apparently
did not care much about investigating it. After
all he was just another negro That, to say the
least, is an iota of the colored situation down
South.. Who said we don't have race prejudice in
:.his country?
Among other pertinant fact- we observed that
Waynesboro, Georgia, is the largest town in the
largest county in the largest state east of the Mis
sissippi River. Beat that if you can!

Letters to the Editor--
Grads Sorry State Failed
To Get Rose Bowl Bid
To the Editor:
We State Grads out here in Cal
ifornia are sorry that the boys
didn't take Pitt this year. We feel
that State might have been given
the bid to the Rose Bowl by Stan
ford. Anyhow Nebraska did a
pretty good job.
Coach Higgins should show the
teams a sample of Stanford's
blocking on that punt return for
a touchdown. It was the best batch
of . blocking we have ever seen.
Incidentally, won't you please
tip those freshmen off that there
is a Penn State Spirit. They will
understand later if they don't see
it now.
Very truly yours,
Peter R. Stitck '4O,
Burbank, Calif.

To the Editor: •
Just two more weeks of classes
And then the time will come
When we will start relating
The knowledge that we've won.
We're not a bunch of whizzes
We're not a bunch of hams
But we're g )ing to knock •
the dickens
Out of Frosh Mid-Year Exams.
