The Executive Committee of
the Board of Trustees is evidently
very much perturbed about
names which the College has
been called. At the meeting of
the committee, Friday, the fol
lowing statement was issued:
“ ‘The Pennsylvania State Col
lege’ is the correct name of this
institution.
“ -Penn State - is an honored
nickname of long standing. It is
used familiarly but should not be
used when the College is re
ferred to officially.
‘Penn State - has no standing
either as an official title or as a
nickname. It gives the impression
of being a formal title and should
never be used.
“ ‘State College’ should not be
used in referring to the College.
‘State College’ is the name of the
borough in which the College is
located and its use in reference
to the College causes confusion."

7 Houses Reject
Rushing Code
Panhellenic’s second attempt to
Install toetween-semester rushing
for next year was defeated this
week when seven sororities 've
toed the .new Rushing Code.
Chief objections from most
houses applied to those parts of
the code which covered the for
mal rushing: sending of invita
tions at such an early date, sacri
fice of vacation period, and diffi
culty of getting the freshmen to
remain here.
After official v.oting and dis
cussion in Panhellenic Council
meeting at 8 o’clock tonight, the
Rushing Committee will prob
ably be instructed to rewrite the
code, President Harriet Singer ’4l
explained last night.
New and old delegates from
each house will attend all Pan
hellenic meetings until the code
is revised and passed. New offi
cers will then be elected and the
new representatives begin work.
Houses disapproving the pro
posal were Alpha Omicron Pi,
Alpha Epsilon Pi, Chi Omega,
Gamma Phi Beta, Kappa Alpha
Theta, Phi Mu, and Theta Phi
Alpha. Alpha Chi Omega. Kappa
Kapa Gamma, and Zeta Tau
Alpha passed the code as sub
mitted. Delta Gamma did not
vote on the measure.

We, The Women
Senior Coed Meeting
Depends On 3 'lfs r
Due io a petition signed by over
30 senior women, seniors will
consider the six honor women,
named .last Wednesday, in the
Southeast lounge of Atherton
Hall at 6:30 o’clock tonight.
Just how, many ask, can an
other meeting right any wrongs
which may have been done? It
can, with three “ifs”
1. If a fool proof system of"
naming the six women to the
honor posts can be found.
2. If the importance of the posts
will toe explained.
3. If more women turn out.
Seniors may decide not to holcl
another vote. If so, the list of
honor women will stand as it is.
If not:
Nominations will be opened
and a new system of voting will
be chosen and will be incorpor
ated into by-laws to be passed on
to succeeding senior women’s
classes.
We suggest that such a system
Thai nominations be limited
about 20 names and that members
of the class list six of the 20
suggestions in the order of the
services they have rendered the
College. Although ballots listed
one to six would take longer to
count, the result would be fair.
We ask that the presiding of
ficer explain "the qualifications
the honor women should have
and the importance the selection
has on the College.
The third "if" is the greatest
fault in student government—the
fact that such a small percentage
of students turn out for- student
elections. And the defeatist at
titude which runs rampid on the
campus—the idea that a few peo
ple get the same honors every
year and “what good would my
vote do?"
To correci this defeatist out
look is the largest task facing
student governments on any
campus. Its portent can be seen
by the results of the first senior
women’s meeting.
How can student governments
get a high percentage of the stu
dent body to participate in meet
ings and elections? .
We can't supply the answer.
But if someone can, we’ll gamble
our last nickle that dissention
won’t occur after important de
cisions are made, and student,
governments will run smoother.
