After inauguration, " hat
As Robert D. Baird '42, All-College president,
and Gerald F. Doherty '42, vice-president, took
office yesterday in the third annual inauguration
ceremonies, Penn State's student government
faces its first real Problem.
Both Baird and Doherty seem slated for army
duty beginning July 1. This is the first time that
Cabin.et has been confronted with the problem of
replacing its two leaders in case both of them can
pot procure deferment.
Practically all of the burden -of governing stu
dent activities would be thrown upon the shoul
ders of H. Leonard Krouse '42, senior class presi
dent and football captain, who would assume the
chairmanship .of the Cabinet, not the presidency.
Yhouse's original duties alone will probably oc
cupy most of his time.
There is one thing that Cabinet can do to allevi
ate some of the load on Krouse's shoulders. It can
make a concentrated effort to initiate new means
in directing its affairs from one man and diverting
many of his tasks into other channels.
. Because election of class officers and school
councils have occurred almost a month ahead of
previous elections and new student cabinet repre
sentatives have been able to sit in on Cabinet ses
sions, .the new All-College Cabinet already will
have a fair idea of student parliamentary action..
Although Cabinet will lack the advantage of spe
cific leadership in its first few meetings, its intro
duction to Cabinet procedure and duties may give
the new group the jUmp on former Cabinets.
In losing Baird and Doherty. the Cabinet suffers
stiff blow, but by the foresight of the former
Cabinet in providing for earlier elections of repre
sentatives, the incoming group will be better pre
pared for its initiation into student government.
Paging Carrie Nation
Women suffrage was passed in 1919, but women
cheerleaders still are taboo in Penn State. How
ever, All-College. Cabinet, realizing that. football
crowds may be more apt to exercise their voices if
a* few likely-looking maidens were leading them,
passed• a resolution to place girl cheerleaders on
the squad:
Only one obstacle stands in the way, according
to Walter A. Sottung '4l, head cheerleader. Penn
State coeds, strangely enough, seem to be satisfied
with their pre-suffrage roles and have failed to
turn out for tryout sessions.
Have courage. girls. She whi.) leads the crowd
won't get lost.
"The human world as we know it is the product
of work—work with the hands or work with the
brain. Its progress is only made possible by work.
It is work which has lifted us out of brute life. It
may be work which is tiresome, it may be work
which brings With it satisfaction and delight. In
ony case it must be work. Everything depends
upon whether the individual human being under
stands his work and what it means and what part
it plays in the human economy, and whether he is
ready and willing to do his very best to make his
work productive. and helpful to his fellow-men."
Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia
University, calls restrictions on output of labol.

This is a mad bad world, as our Aunt Leda used
to mutter after that incident with the'swan. Full
of gentle old manic depressive waving flags, and
adolescent cynics. If we were convinced that it
would not offend the delicate,, we might suggest
that what this world needs is a good five-cent
cathartic. Certainly the boys who chronicle our
times will need strong stomachs. To put it
bluntly, all we've been able to think about recently
is King Dzymandias, and the old beggar, has got
ten a bit on our nerve. We may even laugh hys
terically and pluck at the 'coverlet.
In the first place, we're fed up with all this bal
derdash concerning the present hostilities among
our brethren across the sea. Apparently truth and
beauty are on the sacrificial altars again . .so
many pounds of beauty and so many tons of truth
neatly wrapped in cellophane. It occurs to us that
truth and beauty spend most of their time being
pushed bout by diplomats and clergy - men. This
eternal hue and cry about humanity has been go
ing on ever since Pericles shot off his mouth at a
funeral, and probably before that:' And- people
have been making asses of themselves ever since.
Even we, dear children, with the reciprocal ben
efits .of modern plumbing and John Dewey can't
seem to be entirely little ladies and gentlemen.
The old urge to go forth and smite some poor devil
hip and thigh is still hanging around along with
the vermiform appendix. This business of fight
ing wars for beautiful abstractions is becoming a
trifle hackneyed. Nobody can stop this war; we
realize that. but we rather feel that we may as well
go along with• our eyes open.
Since we like the way the English manage things
we shall therefore do what we can for them; also
it would be very confusing to have to change the
world's economic standards to meet German cri
teria. If we are obliged to fight, we shall fight.
Simply because fighting for the existing set-up is
much less involved than any other course. Unless,
gentlefolk, you prefer to believe that truth and
beauty are at stake. Right beside the steel in
dusty.
Sigmund Freud, that rare old weird, proved that
no matter what, love is all. So why worry? It
might be better, in the long run, to leave the / whole
affair in the hands of the sociologists, who are no
doubt prepared to publish a book on it at the drop
of a prostitute. We feel kindly disposed toward
those gentlemen. for they mean well. And they
are, we like to believe, those dim figures we al
ways see when we. too are in a fog.
Lest anon we commence to wander too far afield
in our meditations, we now conclude this carefully
wrought essay on the vanity of human wishes
(which we have patterened closely after Juvenal)
and slip back into the shadows whence we venture
ill-advised to joust with windmills. CASSIUS

Dispensary Use
Dropped hvApril
Despite free Dispensary serv
ice this year, student calls for
April decreased from the total of
the same month last year. In
firmary patients, however, in
creased slightly -in number for
the same comparative period, the
College Health Service revealed
yesterday.
Dispensary calls' last year in
April totaled 4076, while 37'75
were made last month. 'Of last
month's calls 185 were made for
ROTC examinations, none of
which were included in the re
port for April of last year. The
report indicated a further dis
use of the Dispensary for com
parative months of April.
The slight epidemic of German
measles nearly doubled the num
ber of patients in the Infirmary
with 74 last year in April and
140 this year. The comparative
number of days spent in the In
firmary last April totaled 193
and this April 475. A 14-day
quarantine was necessary. for
German measles and, hence, in
creased the number of bed-days.
A decrease occured in' the'
number of cases that were fol
lowed by .the second visit to the
Dispensary to check effective
ness of diagnoses and treatment.
Last April there were 2022 cases
which returned and last month
1526.
