The Alumni Association Membership
Plan—A Start Not A Finishi
'lf the. Alumni Council' approves the Associa
tion's new . membership plan when it meets here
on February 1 it will be doing the Association a
favor but the plan itself will not do a thing to re
vive the organization..
Like putting a pulmotor in place, the real work
is not even started. But the stage is set.
The AssOciation now is due to be "battled"
tooth and nail by students Who will be asking all
nanner of embarrassing questions in the hope not
of ruining the Association but of finding in it the•
kinds of organization that can best be of service to
themselves and the College.
It is going to be a good "battle" to watch and an
even better one to fight in.
The students who will be asked to pledge mem-,
berships in the Alumni Association are not expect- ,
ed to pay eight dollars for five-year enrollment
without first convincing themselves that the eight
dollars is well invested.
Currently most Penn State alumni and under
graduates hold the idea (whether it is correct or
mot does not alter the situation) that the Alumni
Association is an unprogressive organization. Less
Than 2.000 alumni have bothered to join the Asso
ciation.
The idea needs to be changed and the present
leaders of the Association are set on changing it.
That is the reason they proposed their new under
graduate metnbership plan and fought almost a
year to sell it to the student body. The first effort
was won so completely that last November the
All-College Cabinet gave the plan its unanimous
vote of approval.
The next phase is just beginning. The students
have not yet bought anything. They have only
signified that they trill look at the Association's
wares, see what it has to offer, and buy their
memberships only if the investment looks like a
good one.
The net result cannot help but benefit the Col
lege. To sell itself, the Association will have to
produce evidences of success and a worthwhile
program. Each time it recruits a new member its
capacity for success will be increased.
The Association leaders do not want to have
each student meekly submit to paying an eight
dollar membership. The result of that would be
a massive Association just as impotent as the pres
ent small one because it is flabbier.
In their plan the Association leaders see a sure
improvement if the students, once they become
xnembers work to see their dues used to the best
advantage. Active interest is basic to an effective
alumni group.
Editor's Note:—The Association has already
compiled a reply to many of the questions it ex
pects to be asked by students. The major points
of this will be outlined in the Collegian after sec
ond semester publication begins.
Whose Idea?
In view of the fact that students pay an athletic
fee of $7.50 a semester, and a physical education
fee of $4 a semester it Seems unfair that they
should pay $.25 . more to see a home hockey game.
Especially is this unfair in view of the fact that
last year the student body and the Athletic Advis
ory Board voted to make hockey an intercollegiate
sport and award a regular six-inch varsity letter
to participants.
Any excuse that there is a lot of upkeep to be
considered is invalid. There is a lot more Up
keep for football..
Borough officials have announced that State
College's new police officer, Roland A. Martin,
arrived in town Thursday night. They have add
ed that the taking up of his duties may be delayed
tc some extent until his uniform arrives:

'Orchids To Hutchinson •
Before you final-fagged stildents go over the
deep end and condemn all and sundry profs to
that place where the hot' coals simmer, digest this
little story.
Wednesday last Asst. Prof. K. D. Hutchinson's
Econ. 23 class was bemoaning the fact that the
one female member of their numbers, Anna Gold
shmid. was bedridden with the awful-awfuls and
they would have no one to show off before. Feel
ing sorry for Anna, they decided to pass the hat
and buy her some flowers. The collection netted
a nickel a man or approximately one iron duke.
Maybe the small amount was due to the fact that
Carl Guckelberger was passing the hat, or maybe
it was because George Parrish and Rog Findlay
were there, but anyway, it netted but one thin
buck. •
So what did Prof. Hutchinson do when Gucky
got to him? Did he toss in a paltry nickey? He
did not! He tossed in a week's salary, or one dol
lar, and said, "Buy her a real bouquet." It. Would
be a please and an honor to get a minus 2 from a
prof like that.
Tell-All Department
Jeanne Stiles says that the State kids in Phila
delphia are 'going to have a party . in Philadelphia
between semesters . She doesn't know just where,
but she is sure it will be in Philadelphia. That's
what we like about these Collegian gals, they
never forget their journalistic What, Where,
When, Who, and How.
We wonder if Roy "Ride 'em" Rogers really got
those twelve stitches in his hand by "shutting a
window the wrong way" as he claims? _ CoMe on,
Roy, let us up. • Is it from too 'much pre-final
hand-shaking? Were you trying to wipe that egg
off of you, or did someone bite the hand that fed
them?
Roy, incidentally, is m.e.ing the super-colossal
Drydock show• tonight of Marce Stringer, Don
Taylor. et. al. Maybe the bandaged hand is just
a sympathy gag to keep the audience from tossing
coke bottles.
We understand that Bud "Beetle-brow" Mor
row, has been extolling himself to his chums as a
deerslayer par -excellence. According to reliable
information the only deer he ever bagged was the
one that bounced off the fender of his car this Fall.
Before we go any further we wish to apply for
the position of all 50 of the strong young men ad
vertised for in the want ads by Joanna Hood. Just
write the Maniac, in care of The Daily Collegian.
That guy Don West sure has delusions of gran
deur. Why he's so weak he has to keep TWO
women around to protect him.
