The Pennsylvania Student Government .Associ ation .which is meeting on our campus'these three days Would be doing the students of the common wealth a great service if it could achieve just one thing: A .-unity of purpose and a way of expression for all the students of the state. The implications of this suppestion are import ant- >. This should be an Association with which ALL students in the commonwealth are fully ac quainted—not just an Association of student lead- ers. ; -Most of student organizations and federa tion;: and congresses have the weakness that in -fhchymember colleges they are known only to the student leaders directly affected or associated. 2. To achieve this, the Association needs some ttiieans-.pf expression which would reach ALL stu dents,,not just student leaders. Here the college editors of the state might cooperate. 3. -The Association also needs the stabilizing • influence of a permanent officer, paid if possible. Today .there are so very very many matters of - importance to students that it is a shame they are . no). organized for -their views to be heard. Pardon ,us an example. Pennsylvania is one of only six states in the United States that does not Mia ve-what seems to be a very desirable something - • -absentee voting. Pennsylvania’s objection to absentee vp.ting (as yesterday’s editorial pointed out)-is strictly-political and is not so strong that it could survive the reaction of public opinion and „rfHtblie:deman.d : if all the people of the state were acquainted with the facts. Even the organized and-persistent shouting of college students keep- Mng .txp -the din in the ears of their individual leg - ».-)alors .would swine the measure, Collegian be lieves. This would be s very pertinent problem for an Association, such as that now meeting here is cap aide .of. becoming. A unified expression of student ini on. on. the draft might also carry telling- weight. To accomplish these things, the Association -rmist give itself a more permanent organization end must see that its word reaches into all the eol •4r-ges of the state, through the student leaders, to every member of every student body. "- „ fill, least Possible rttapfliiOT Of lie ,.. Life" "The purpose of Selective Service is to secure an orderly, just, and democratic method whereby tlio military manpower of the United States may ■rtx- made available for training .and- service with ■flit- least disruption of the social and ecc .-+iOinic-U£e of the nation." (From tlie opening par agarphy of the Selective Service Regulations.) ■Unless Congress takes action the Selective Service provision providing deferment for stu dents until the end of a college year is going to expire July 1. From then on students will go whenever they are called, dropping.their studies ■"wherever they are and hustling into the army for a year. If.a college student would lose only a year by ■rf. raving for .the army in November, for instance, • 'lie- could hardly complain'. Actually; he loses three whole semesters. In his peculiar position, the ' draft discriminates against him! It removes him •■from,his normal.life for 18 months rather than 12! Any student who interrupts a semester in the ■middle can count it.lost. After a year he will have to start all over again, anyway. Take the case of John Smith, a junior, who- is .-4'oing to be called next November. If. he is’taken -after.-mid-semesters, ..he loses all his fees and the •■semester,--too. He, goes into the army, comes out - fhc-.next November, and. has to wait until the next -■^'ebruary.-before, he can resume his studies. This in hardly fair and it is certainly not achiev ing the. least disruption possible. No one Would suffer any particular hardship if college students wore at least allowed deferment until the end of any semester already underway when they were called.

Helen Cramer might be the most etherally beautiful, Knobby Heffex-an might be the wittiest, Betty Albright the stateliest, and Eleanor Fagans the nicest, but we believe that Jo has some of all'these qualities, and what’s moi-e, feliow students, she’s got oomph!! We are sick and tired of seeing girls chosen May Queen just because they are Dean Ray’s favorite coeds. What we want is to see Penn State’s May Queen make the rotogravure sections, and make screen tests, and I dare you to find me the roto gravure editor who will print, a girl’s picture be cause she is a big shot iri WSGA!

When contacted late last night Montz said he would not resign his affiliations with the Kappa Sigma house.. • Defining, file Bird In case some of you have never come in contact with .that peculiar specimen of homo sapiens known as a “College Hot-Dog,’’ we print below a few characteristics of the breed. Drop in the Cor ner-Room any day and you’ll see what we mean. T.

Any student, male or female, who continually makes such senseless remarks as Fsistrari. Cope setic, I got egg on me, knocking oneself out at ones leisure, etc. • 3. The young Atlas who, when he parks his coat, parks his shoulders. 4. The boys who in any way, shape or foi-m, or manner of dress resemble Robert L. Wilson, No. 1 Alumni Hot Dog. 5. She of the Body by Fisher and the overstuff ed upholstery, the line of whose backbone re sembles the coastline of South America. ■ 6. The boys who prefer the seclusion of apart ment dwelling with etchings—on the ceiling. 7. The girl who knows all the first names of every boy in a fraternity house after one date there. 8. The girl whose skirt makes an honest attempt to meet the roll of her stockings, and who wears sweaters three sizes too large and awaits academic development. ' 9. The boy who gets a haircut once a year," whether he needs it or not. 10. The girl who never wears a dress so long as her roommate has a sweater and skirt available. 11. Any girl or boy who heads the should-have - flunked-out list. 12. The type of student who comes to the movies solely, to crack wise and speaks to shots only. 13. Any student who spends more than three fourths of his time in a goldfish booth at the Cor ner Room. 'Gone With Ihe Wind' Chosen Best Picture Of 1940 By College Students Choice of more than one-fourth of the nation’s college students, “Gone With the .Wind” was easily ranked the collegians* No. 1 motion picture shown in 1940, a poll conducted by Student Opinion Sur veys of America, reveals.
