Itafemity Dilemma—Less
Higher Prices, Fewer Leaders
More and more. State College 7 fraternities are
becoming aware of the need for concerted action
in the interests of economy.
As they do this, they are falling in line with and
recognizing the unassailable truth of the facts
which were presented to the National Interfrater
nity Council last November by its committee on
policy.
The war effort, that committee recognized, is
going to be a slightly disorganizing factor for fra
ternities and, concerted action which was only a
desirability in normal times is going to become a
-necessity now.
Obviously, -the committee says, the defense pro
gram will necessitate heavier taxes on both cor
porations and individuals and the net incomes of
Die • men who send their sons to college will be
appreciably lower, prices for fraternity commodi
ties will be higher; and the draft is likely to im
pair fraternity leadership by drawing particularly
the upperclassmen.
The committee continues with this report;
"If the situation indicated by our study should
eventuate, our college fraternities will face the
fallowing problems:
“A.—With less money to spend, men attending
college will question more seriously the value of
joining a -fraternity. ,
"B.—With expenses increased’, chapters will
have to enlarge revenue or reduce expenses.
“C.—With the loss of leadership due to the mil
itary enlistment of older men, additional guidance
■will have to be provided.”
“To meet the problem of increased costs,” the
committee recommends, “we suggest that the ex
penses of the national headquarters and the local
chapters be subjected to a vigorous scrutiny.
Many economists predict that the-coming boom
Will be followed in two or three years by a more
serious depression than that which culminated in
1933. The need for economy is certain to come
and the time to meet it is now.”
First of all among the means of decreasing ex
penses in the chapters themselves, the committee
urges cooperative buying of food, coal, and other
supplies.
It says: “This is already done in some colleges.
It can be organized almost anywhere either with
all. or some of the fraternities participating. The
chief essential is an able purchasing agent, and the
savings should be large enough to permit a salary
to be paid adequate to secure competency.”
This is a word .of advice Penn State fraternities
cun hardly afford to overlook.
“National defense and education are eiose kin.
for both of them are plans to preserve the way of
bfe to which we Americans have dedicated our
selves and our children. That way of life, which
we call democracy, is held together with the idea
Hint every man is to have a chance.” Dr. John G.
Bowman, chancellor of the University of Pitts
burgh, sees America strategically strengthened by

April Fool!
The Time: Midnight.
The Place: The bathroom in Jordan Hall.
Characters: One unidentified sophomore, one
unidentified.
The sleepy soph is brushing his teeth and trying
to get to bed. He turns about to leave and there,
standing right in front of him, is a coed. He knows
she’s a coed, for she’s wearing saddle-shoes, a plaid
skirt and a sweater. “Oh, my God,” screams our
hero as he dashes out of the room. But the lady
was just one of the boys, Bill Detrick. Dammitt!
Bennie Krouse had woman-trouble this week
end, too. Without a care in the world, Lennie
called Olive Kaler last week and asked for a Sat
urday.night date. Fine! Then his girl from home
decided to make the trip to State and Krouse had
to use all the tact and diplomacy he knew to calm
Olive. “I will see you Sunday night..” But the
little lady from home had other plans and an
nounced that she would stick around until Mon
day. With much splashing of tears and gnashing
of teeth she had to give Olive the honor of dating,
the prexy on Sunday. It looks like they’ll both
be feeding you Thrivo, Len.
We wonder whether all the girls who so delight
edly accepted Bud Casselberry’s invitations for
dates would be so willing if they knew that he is
dating three different girls each week-end to get
a grand total of 50 dates so that he can win a bet
from his fraternity brothers. -
The latest epistle received by the IFC import
committee goes something like this: “My reason
for wanting to attend IF Ball is that I saw a pic
ture of George Parrish, the chairman of the com
mittee, and since he is like the man of my dreams,
I am coming in hopes of getting a mere glimpse
at him. Hoping to hear from you soon lam sin
cerely yours. Mae Sprecker.” The letter was
mailed from Chambersburg and rumor has it that
George is going to New York at Easter by way of
Chambersburg. Better wait until June when-your
hair grows in, George.. Or £,v.en better, .wait!
Here’s one about poor Pat Fulton who was. saw
ing-on a tough Phi Psi steak at Sunday dinner. He
blinked, lost control arid before he knew it the
steak, complete with french fries and peas was in
his lap. The gal was blonde! -
,‘lt has been suggested that Leo Morrell be ap
pointed assistant dean of women because he knows
sc much about handling women.
