Coeds Accept Pins
At First Offering
By EDITH L. SMITH '43
Most of the pinned coeds on
campus accepted fraternity pins
the first time they were offered.
Such was the conclusion drawn
by a psychological survey con
ducted recently among 100 . up
perclass women.
One half of the women inter
viewed were pinned to men no
longer attending college. The in
terview showed that a large per
cent of these coeds now date
other'men without the knowledge
of the men they are pinned to.
However 15 were true to the
rightful owners of their pins.
More junior women than wom
en in other classes have clasped
fraternity jewelry on their sweat
ers. As a rule, the questionnaire
proved, coeds received pins after
dating a man for six months.
Few coeds have had more than
one fraternity pin; but one had
five. Each believedjher pin was
the real thing, and admitted that
it meant more to her than she
liked to admit.
The fraternity house
highest in the number of mem
bers handing out pins was -DU.

Gives Rare Books
Fred Lewis Pattee, above, will
give his collection of early Am
erican literature to the Library
at its dedication on March 15.
Pallee To Give.
Valuable Books
“May our lives help swell thy
fame,” a line in the “Alma Mat
er,” written "by Fred Lewis Pat-'
tee, was personally, interpreted
by the author when he decided
to give his valuable collection of
American literary works be-'
tween 1800 and 1850, to the Li
brary afr its dedication, March
15.
Pattee’s books will place the
Library among the nation’s lead
ers in collections of early Ameri
can literature. During his 35-year
stay on the. campus, he collected
most of them and says “they
really belong here.”
“I get the ‘blues’ every time I
send a consignment away, for
every one of them has a story
connected with the getting of it
and a joy that only the book
hunter can know,” Pattee re
marked.
Professor Pattee first brought
American literature courses to
the College when he came here
in 1894. This College was one of
two in the country which offered
such courses then.
The library was totally useless,
according to Pattee, and he found
it necessary to go to Philadelphia
and New York libraries to do his
research work. He found it
cheaper to buy old books at auc
tions where rare titles could be
purchased ‘for what hotel rooms
would cost in those days.’
“I deserve but little praise for
what I am doing for Penn State,
for I have received from the old
College more than I could ever
repay.”
Professor Pattee now teaches
at Rollins College in Florida'and
has won recognition as being one
of the foremost authorities in the
country on the history of the
American short story and its
criticism.

question must junanswered.
No date has been-sefcsnSrgiWStn
ment authorities refuse to' ma‘ke

However, two possibttttiesTTave
been suggested. Eithereof them
could easily become' ; faet. One"of
them certainly wi11..-;--
1. A nationaL.dralL-.registra
tion day will
possibly on the same date as last
year, October 16. Dates have been,
mentioned from this April 1 to
June, 1942, tout there is no-defin-.
ite information. •
■ 2. The government may de
cide upon a week of registration
through • local draft, boards,.,. This
plan has one big advantage.-in
that machinery for - registration
is already set up and-few- addi
tional preparations ■ would.. need
to be made. If this scheme, is. ad
opted it would probably, go into
effect sometime before 'July 1-,.:.-
- It is also highly possible : that
provision will be made for con
tinuous registration of albumen
on their 21st birthdays:..This,win -
combination with a registration
day for those who have passed .21
since last October 16, would, .ob
viate the need for additional
periodic registrations in. . thfiufttr
hire. It would be a smoothly op
erating system and would solve
many problems. . , .. . - ■
The exact method by .which
new draftees will be - absorbed
into the existing reserve ofrthose
not yet called has not been-de-
termined. They will. .either.. be
assigned numbers already, drawn
or will be put into a separate
pool. . .
This is all speculation,. Only
one thing is certain—men who
have become 21 since..the. last
registration will be required -to
register and will .be- subject- to
call. The “national, .emergency.’'
will not be oyer next .week, next
month, and probably, not...next
•year. And we will all be,.obliged
to do our part.
Tea will be served in the
southwest lounge of Atherton
