March 21, 1941 Thank M $0 Change Collegian is glad to see that Interfraternity Council next year plans to follow practically the name rushing code it had in effect last fall. From a purely bystander viewpoint, it has seemed to Collegian that too often students have changed their organizational procedure simply for the sake of change, discarding a perfectly good method and often substituting a worse one just to show their originality. Much of the credit for not changing goes to the Fraternity Counselors Association which has urged that the present code be given at least a three-year trial. This almost looks like the beginning of san ity. The editorial above raises an interesting ques tion. Where does the faculty enter and exit in a uupposedly strong student self-government? Particularly to the officers who are-now being elected for* next year, this is an important issue.. The answer, so far as Collegian has-been able to discover, is that the faculty should be ever pres ent but .ever in the background. Students will do well to recognize that they are students because they don’t know all the answers, that the faculty is here because it is supposed to have experience which will be valuable to the .students. That word faculty should include administra tion members, too. Student self-government is not sacrificed when one of its leaders goes to a faculty man for advice any more than President E.oosevelt's New Deal is sacrificed when he goes to ;m expert for advice. In fact, the best leader is the man who knows best what expert to consult in each situation. t * * Cleaning The Slate Hopes are high that the two assistant deans asked last fall by the Dean of Men and by All- College Cabinet will be granted. They can be used. The Intramural Board is to be congratulated for its action several weeks ago in cutting varsity competition out of intramural point scoring and providing for a running score of the standings to be kept and publicized through the year. Representative Moul and his investigators are utiil at work mixing education and politics down in Harrisburg but the bill of Mr. Moul’s which has now reached tire Senate looks to' many like a fairly honest attempt to improve the soil conser vation program. One of the possibilities in increasing the strength of student self-government lies in train ing the new officers before, rather than after, they come into power. Earlier elections have made that possible this year. If the new officers don't take advantage of it. Penn State will be losing a lot. * * * Word about who is going to take care of the murals is still not forthcoming. If there was even a whisper in the darkness that has hung heavy ranee the senior class voted for the loan fund. Col- Downtown Office 119-121 South Fraser St. Night Phon*» 4372 Louis EC.

The conspicuous absence of Premier Benito Mus solini of Italy at this current rendezvous does not necessarily mean that he has been scratched from the Berlin social register. The Italian premier has returned to his headquarters in Rome after an extended tour in Albania. (Ed. note: News re ports claim that he was extended During his brief visit the Fascist leader bolstered the morale of the Italian legions by personally leading the retreat. Mr. Matsuoka is the third member 'of the Axis three musketeers, and represents the Nipponese who are handling the “civilization movement” in China. Lately the Chinese have proved to be not as yellow as their skin would imply, but that is apart from the Foreign Minister’s present visit. The current party between Mr. Matsuoka and Mr. Hitler deals with the aid which the United States is furnishing Britain. Although German sources have stated that the amount of aid will be “precisely nil,” it is probably the thought of all this American aid going to waste that is bothering the Reich. It will be Japan’s duty to divert Amer ican interest elsewhere, which means the Far East. How this plan will appeal to Mr. Matsuoka is not ■ generally know as yet. but there are several items ;! which he cannot fail to overlook.. A great many I observers are of the opinion that there, are too j many boats floating arouiid in the .Pacific which j do not fly the Nipponese flag. This situation is | not healthy, should in the'diverting of U. S. in- | terests, the Japanese junks be caught too far from J home without an oar.. | Then there is the,annoying Chinese affair. Every | time the home office in- Tokyo attempts to get in | touch with their troops in China, the non-cooper- | ative Chinese cut down the communication lines. 1 If Mr. Malsuoka' embarks on a new adventure before clearing up the embarrassing details of the first one, he has the case of Mr. Mussolini, the No. 2 musketeer, to think about. II Duce tried to take over- Egypt and ran into a pyramid of British troops. Not quite satisfied he started in on Greece, and slipped badly there also. As the party in Berlin progresses Mr. Matsuoka may or may not be convinced that Mr. Hitler has the right plan. But as he gathers his thoughts it is to be hoped that the absence of tea at the party will not bother him. since the only way a tea leaf can get into Germany these days, is for one to float | up on French soil from the Atlantic Ocean. 8 Exhibition of ■ V SHOE J Traditionally Fine Shoes MILITARY AND CIVILIAN BOOTS At .On FrL, and Sat., March 21,22 * ¥• * In attendance Le Vay C.

Read The Collegian Classifieds Final Exam for telephones THIS electrical mouth at Bell Telephone Laboratories is putting a uevv telephone to one of its final tests. Over and over, it can repeat these odd sentences ivithout the slight est variation. They contain all the fundamental sounds that con tribute to the loudness of sound in our speech. This mouth can also make tests with simple tones of known pitch and intensity. At the same time other telephones are being steamed, baked, frozen, lifted and dropped into their cradles by tireless ma chines. All this is part of a carefully planned curriculum that makes every piece of telephone equip- ment prove it is capable of giving you tbe best possible service—under any and all conditions.
