Helen Gordon '42 Tuesday Morning, January 14, 1941 The Intramural System The complete overhaul of the intramural system which the Intramural Board proposed at its meet ing last week was considerably belated in view of the criticism which has been directed at the sys tem. There is still no new plan, only talk of one and warm dtscussion now that everyone admits the present system is unsatisfactory. The major objetcions to the system are that it is complicated and hard to follow, that houses never Plow exactly where they stand and thus the ele pnent of competition is weakened. There are probably a thousand and one major and minor criticisms all told. There is no score l)oard on which a running score can be prominent )y displayed. Weightings in the point scoring ;4:ern unfair. Last year the house that won the paost intramural events. five, did not win the tro phy because another house won on the strength of pianagerships and varsity men (which some quar ters rate an intercollegiate activity and not an in tramural activity at all). The competition is not adequately staffed. Scheduling difficulties often forced teams to forfeit. The list is a long one. Tomorrow night the Interfraternity Council will be asked to tell what it thinks of the current practice of including managers and varsity men in the point.ecoring. With that to go on the board can begin to study out ways and means of chang ing the system so as to satisfy the most students. Collegian 'holds no brief for any particular way. It considers only two things important enough to •e fought for tooth and nail: 1. The scoring should be simplified 2. A running score should be kept and publi cized so that fraternities will know at all times where they stand. There are other things worth considering. With its present budget it is almost impossible to give the intramural program the staff it deserves. Al though there were a total of 4,000 participants last year there is not even an intramural office. The complicated scoring system lends to incomplete re cords. Perhaps some improvement can be achiev ed by thrusting more of thee' burden on the Intra inural Board which, until it made its proposal last week, was a rather inactive group• "People in Central and South America hate, North America. They still think of America in 'terms of Yankee, which is still far worse than the connotation carries here. If the United States is to get the confidence of the South American coun tries the people here must make an effort to show_ Ahem the Yankees are human beings without dol 4,xr marks and, above all, are not arrogant..

Did you know that Lindsey "Calamity" Arison has offered to pay $lO to anyone who, without a death in his imme diate family, can top his rinsfortuntes over Christ mas vacation. Arison left home the day after Christmas to go on tour with Rockwell's Band. At Punxsutawney a suit, a camel's hair vest, and a box of candy were stolen from his car—a total loss of $4B. In Philipsburg, he laid a cigarette on his music stand, put his glasses down on the cigarettes and burned the glasses. When the band played in Lancaster, a drunk fell off the band stand and broke his brass 'sax case. In Greensburg. he lost his wallet with $64 in cash, his matric card, his license, his draft number, etc. in it. At Harrisburg he had two blowout's, he lost a glove, and then the tailor shop where he had taken a suit to be cleaned was closed and he had to go to his best bias home dressed in a pair of tux trousers and a green sport coat. Any contributions or expressions of symapthy for this forlorn creature will be received at the DU hoUse. Applications for the $lO may also be made there Friday night the Greek girls had their dance at the Nittany Lion. There wasn't much room for fancy dancing , but in spite of the jolts everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. We were sur prised to see Jack Good and Patty Chio .Patton there together and even more amazed to heat that Harriet Stubbs took Bill Armstrong's Phi Kappa Sig pin. Ed Wagner attended , Panhellenic Ball with Eleanor Benfer and according to the girls, who are apparently much interested in Eddie's activities, it is just about the first date he's had in State Col- S‘turday night, the Sigma Chis held their an nual Costume Ball (this year it was a Boudoir Ball). Many of the costumes were in keeping with the theme. George Harrison came in a flannel nightshirt. Tommy Allison came in tails without the trousers and his date, Mary of the Corner, came in a pajama coat over a street dress. The most sensational costumesohowever, were the ones . Jimmy Stagg (we can't seem to keep her out of the column) and Jane Parsons wore. They ,con sisted of a few square inches of cotton and several whisps of straw. Yes, you guessed it—in the dead of winter they came dressed as hula dancers. We were talking to Don Kratzer about his social life "Fifty-one week-ends out of the year," he said, "I can't get one date, and this week-end I had two." The girls were Helen Briola and Betty DeFrain. Nice going, Don You'll Enjoy The THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Corner unusual CAMPUS CALENDAR TODAY: PSCA Freshman Council. Hugh Beaver Room, 8:15 p. m.
