The Student Housing Board admitted it. The Senate Committee on Student Welfai-e admitted it. The dii-ector of the College Health Service ad mitted it. The President of the College admitted 11.' Even some of the townspeople admitted it. That was in the spring of 1939. Since that time rhpre have been little mumblings from all the people concerned—and little action. Penn State students, presumably, are living in quarters just as cramped, just as unsanitary, and rust as costly as they were two years ago. Now, 10, on the horizon there is a star, a star hailed as of the same magnitude of one that begot the free hospitalization plan which went into ef fect this year. A star called the Student Health Board. That board went out and got student opinion, it wrote to parents for their opinion, it got faculty "pinion, it tabulated facts, it complied that data mlo an intelligible, forceful report and presented d to .the Board of Trustees. It got action. Much of the groundwork has already been done for the Student Health Board in its new effort. A plan has been submitted, approved by the Presi dent and remains only to be worked out in detail. The Senate Committee on Student Welfare has been struggling or overlooking those details for two years—and they aren’t that hard. If the Student Health Board will tackle the job and find a faculty “angel” to provide the continu ity it can have a system of room inspection set up, il can have houses graded according to fair rent als, it can have these published and made avail able. The job is man-sized, but the Student Health Board is presenting itself as a man-sized board. Dear Editor: Something Stinks One of the college papers that came across Col legian’s desk yesterday carried a letter to the edi tor which 'the paper comments editorially) epito mizes all letters to the editor -that have ever or will be written. It reads: To the Editor: Something about this campus stinks. Should it take this editorial commentator ser iously, Collegian would have to beg for scholarly disagreement. A hasty check of the 50 or more letters to the editor published by Collegian since September shows only one in every four devotee! to a “stink!" Collegian could not deny that students are in flamed with an irresistible urge to find something that stinks. Collegian editors through the years have some of the very best students by that defi nition. More and more, though, college students are los ing the idea that they have to knock to show their intelligence. Even so Collegian doesn't want to discuorage chose of its readers who feel the healthy urge to ike a goon stilt it.’.'

Her father v'orked for the college, and when Phyllis came of the proper age she enrolled fit the college as a freshman. Before Phyllis had been in college very long she had set her heart on joining a certain sorority. The girls in this sorority, which we will call Tappa Tappa Slamipa, seemed to like her as well as she liked them, and everything looked very rosy in deed. In this same town, however, there was another freshman girl named Dottie who was also being rushed by Tappa Tappa Slamma. For reasons best known to herself she disliked the cute little dark-haired girl named Phyllis very much. Maybe ■she was jealous. Anyhow, Dottie and six of her friends went up to Tappa Tappa Slamma one day to talk to the sisters. They told the sisters thatMhey would positively not go Tappa Tappa Slamma if Phyllis was pledged. This would have been very bad for Tappa Tappa Slamma, because Dottie and her friends were the girls the Tappas wanted most to have. So that night they had a special meeting—without their sorority advisor, who might not have understood. They piously decided that the only .thing to do was to drop little dark-haired Phyllis. Now Dottie and her friends are in Tappa Tappa Slamma and they are very happy. But the cute little dark-haired girl named Phyllis has cried and cried and is heart-broken because she didn’t get into Tappa Tappa Slamma. And that, dear children, is your bedtime story for tonight, all about the nice dear little sorority girls and the sweet things they do in a certain little Pennsylvania college town.

Cook’s Tour Department A harmonized Make-Up Ensemble by Evening -In-Paris for A Night In Manhattan, (Senior Ball motif) reads like the first cousin to a candle-light Cook Tour, but in reality is the Order of the Day at McLanahan’s. Probably one of the smartest little ensembles that ever came out of Evening-In-Paris’s New York salon, it features Face Powder, Rouge and Lipstick of harmonizing tones. In State College, at McLanahan’s.

It’s the new Gillette “MILORD" Razor, and, to put it mildly, it’s “Fit for a King.” Easily one of the niftiest gadgets that ever scraped off an extra layer of skin, it’s a one-piece affair that comes in a leather kit and is mighty handy for packing. Sold in State College at McLanahans, complete kit. with Milord and entourage (Leather Kit and Blades to Engineers, Phvs Eders and Aggies) for only 51.39. ■' A Bargain at twice the price. -if you don't shave :o cut your fraternity's steaks.

Lately,, it hasn’t been a question of .‘.‘if - war comes, ’ but rather “when' wari: comes.” Recently Senator Bailey Of North Carolina said, ‘The'Lend-' Lease Rill does not necessarily mean war, but if it does,-1- am ready.” In 1939 the same Sena- tor-Bailey fought the arms emf bargo-repeal by saying that--the Eui’opean War is “not our- war.” Maybe the southern senator, could be induced to change hbis. mind again if someone . would,, toss a rifle at him and say,- “Go - ahead, you fight, we’ll watch Tif you don’t mind.” Senator Bone of Washington believes that when it becomes necessary to fight . . . “we-wilt fight!” The original piirpose of h.. r: 1776, if any of our senators, care to recall, was aid to Britain short-of-war. Now our fatalistic, senators have paraphrased: it, “including war.” History serves notice that in 1927 a combination of CoTonel Lindbergh and “The Spirit of St. - Louis” presented an unbeatable “WE.” But. “when"war comes” tl)e boys in the front.' trenches '. will find that the airplane that., got them there is tuning, up inf a; ' hanger back in the- U.S.Ac ing pretty. little speeches on how . “we will win the war.”
