It assumed leadership in the transi tion from “hat - ’ societies to "honor” societies. The hat societies, Blue Key included, have never )iod an excuse for paddling. The best reason they can offer is “We got paddled last year. Why phouldn’t we continue to do it?” Nevertheless, paddling is not its own excuse for existence. It certainly is no fit way to. welcome new members into societies which profess to be organizations of campus leaders working for “a fetter Penn State.” It is well known that for many year’s the Col lege has disapproved of paddling. Although this disapproval has never been openly expressed, no pne concerned has been in the dark about it. For fine thing, in past years the hat societies got ap propriations from the College to hold dances, freshman mixers and the like. These appropria tions were stopped. Why? Perhaps, just per haps, paddling and similar initiation procedures were part of-the reason. However, that Lies in the past. The hat societies are on the way back up the ladder. Poverty Ball, held for the benefit of the poor, has been one of Die upward steps. The Association of Hat Society : Presidents has been another. How, with the elimination of paddling. Blue Key is a step ahead of the pack. All the others —Skull and Bones, Parrni.Nous, Druids. Friars—are lag ging behind. They could do well to follow Blue •Key’s example. Blue Key has pointed the way. 'h I'- A Long deeded Advancement The Student Traffic Board—or at least what it f, lands 'for—is something this campus has needed for a long time. It stands, or at least we hope it does, for en forcement of all student traffic regulations. These have never been enforced. In the past lew students owned automobiles and enforcement Wasn’t necessary, but with the increasing enroll ment the number of student automobiles has also increased. Nevertheless, only 377 cars are licensed by the College. We know, and you know, that there are more student automobiles than this. The Campus Patrol, itself, does not have suffi cient authority to enforce regulations. All that it Can do is revoke licenses and that penalty alone floes not fit all cases. Something more is clearly Necessary. Now, that something more has been provided. The Student Traffic Board will probably begin operation next week. The Campus Patrol will re port violations and the Board will act upon them. JLike the Patrol in the old system, the Board will have the power to revoke licenses but in addition it will be able to assess small fines. All in all, the Student Traffic’Board looks like a good thing for Penn State. We hope it lives up in our expectations.

Laddies From Hell Stiffly erect, chest out, a squad of smartly uni- formed men marched east on Fairmount Avenue about 10 p. m. Tuesday night. Goose-stepping smartly in close ranks, they presented an impres sive spectacle in the soft light of the full moon. On and on they went, grim and determined, silent and swift. Finally, taking a sharp “squads right!” they left the street and marched up to the imposing portals of a large brick structure. Their leader rapped heavily on the door. There was a hush as they waited expectantly—then the dooj: swung open. Saluting smartly, their leader snapped out: “Here’s a book Jack Olkein sent over for Bruce Yager!” Short Short Story Paul Blasingame was in town last weekend. Paul Bias ingame was-suffering from pink eye.- Paul Blasingame dates Mae Perry. Now Mae-Perry wears dark glasses.

Unnecessary Here We see by the Collegian’s picture supplement of Tuesday last that Duke University features a “Goon Day" on which coeds are-forced to wear black socks etc. and signs bearing the word “Goon.” Wfcooaa l Whoqooa! According to . the confidential report of our secret agent .0012 the so-called jokes and quesy tionable cartoons published in the most recent Froth were published severaL weeks previously in the Temple Owl. When our findings were brought to the atten tion of the Froth’s brilliant crusading editor, Don ald West, he branded the charge as false and add ed. vyith characteristic finesse: ‘T ain’t never read that there Owl magazine." itay a True Word... We are indebted to an anti-Anglophile language professor for the following succulent morsel: “No wonder the sun never sets upon the British Empire—God Almighty himself can’t trust them in the cjark.” Bailais for Qiilsiaiulmg Seniors We’ve long thought that the most notable plank in the late Huey Long’s many-planked platforms was the one that had to do with “Every Man a King”, so that when we read that The Daily Col- legian was making the Outstanding Senior Award in Rec Hall on March Ist, we were downhearted. There they go making 1,300-odd Seniors discon tent and but one, happy—that’s no way to build circulation. But there’s a solution to all this, lads. You can be a King in your own domain. Put down your Dale Camegies, -this has nothing' to do with Winning Friends and Influencing People. Just slip in McLanahans and pick “Her” out a Whitman Valentine Heart (for tomorrow is Valen tine Day), and we’ll guarantee that, you’ll be Lord High Ruler of the Provinces, King of AU You Sur vey, and the Outstanding ... WeU, maybe. Chwptlfa, 5 Most of you mugs wpn’t know what this is all about, so you might as well stop t reading right' here. But for young ladies Of' quality, breeding and Jaste who are interested-in the finer things of life, McLanahan’s have just introduced Chanel Per fumes to State College and are featuring No. 5 at one-quarter ounce for two-fifty.- Don’t faint.now, wait ’til you get home. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Letters, to the Editor — Cassius Draws Fire From LA Council To the Editor: I am writing this letter in de fense of the Liberal Arts Student Council and the All-College Cab inet which were unjustly and in accurately attacked by the Col legian’s well - known headache “Cassius” in Wednesday’s issue. Cassius says he will offend “several nice people” and make more than his “usual quota of enemies.” That’s his business. However, when his criticism is not founded on fact and does not go far enough to explain the full situation, perhaps someone should put him on the right track. The LA Council is admittedly weak. As chairman of'the body, I will be the first to admit it. I believe I can honestly say I have tried my best to augment the Council’s “paper” power. Several things have stood in the way of the Council’s forward progress. One is the lack of in terest by the Council members. Poor attendance never helped any group increase in size and power. Ironically, our friend Cas sius is a member of the Council. Another l-eason, "'probably most fundamental, is that Liberal Arts students do not realize the pres ence of the Council and- what. it might do for-them. J ■ More important than Cassius’ criticism of the LA Council, is his unfounded dfg at All-College Cabinet. I invite- Cassius to come to any Cabinet meeting and hon estly walk out of the meeting still muttering that all the group is worried about is “how much do we get out of it, and when do we get our gold keys to hang on our watch chains?” Sincerely, Richard C.
