Fuoss '43 Graduate Counselor - Wednesday Morning, May 21, 1941 Doe IMF Is O The Spoil Next year will, be a test year for the Indepen- dent Men's Association. To give the IMA the ben- efit of the doubt, lack of progress during the three years since the association was founded can be attributed to a need for time in which to organize and build a foundation for the future This year. more than either of the preceding iwo, was unproductive when viewed in the light benefits to non-fraternity men. The IMA's right to representation in All-College Cabinet was challenged on the grounds that the IMA was a stagnan'.. organization. This puts the IMA on the spot. However, the organization has made some for ward steps, though it is granted not nearly enough. Among these forward steps can be listed an im- I+rovement in the scholastic standing of the IMA units. An annual scholarship award was estab lished and went to the Blue and White Club this year. For the first time, independent intramural sports were generally recognized as an indepen dent bracket and intramural basketball was set up. Plans for next year have already been drawn up. They are more ambitious than ever before and IMA officers assert that every attempt will hi: made to carry them out. The more important plans are as follows: 1. A freshman IMA banquet will be establish ed. IMA officers will work with the PSCA and rine banquet will be modeled after the Interfra- ternity Council pledge dinner, for many years a success 2. Recreation nights will be started in cooper ation with the co-recreation committee. They will lie a continuance of the freshman mixers. They will be intended to provide a' chance for indepen dent men and women to become better acqu,ainted during the entire year as well as during Freshman Week. 3. More student-faculty activities will be held 4. A drive will he started to add to the 13 units and 700 independent men now members of the XMA. The main object of the drive, however, will itot be for increased membership alone but to euroll all interested independent students. Elden T. Shaut '42. recently elected ,IMA presi dent, has stated very concretely the gentral aim of the Independent Men's Association. He said: "We are trying to set up an organization among in dependent men to parallel IFC among fraternity men. We want to give a chance to the boy who does not have the money and the opportunity to join a fraternity." Shaut pointed out that organizations of indepen dent men have succeeded at 32 colleges and uni versities, including Oklahoma, Purdue, University or Texas, and Michigan. He offered those exam ples as proof that independent men can organize tmccessfully. We can see another reason why the Independent Men's Association may have a definite place to fill in the future of the College. Fraternities are on the decline. touring the last 10 years an average of one fraternity a year has dropped out of Perin State. This year there were tw--41 , eta Kappa anti Theta Nu Bpsilon. "pus in the future the IMA. may be vital to the life of the C9ilege. Forjhese reasons, next year the IMA will have a better chance than ever to make good. It should capitalize on the opportunity. —J.A.B. Downtown Office 119-121 South Frazier St. Night Phone 4872 -Louis H.

A While It feels something like premature to be writing a column saying goodbye for the summer when thoughts of finals haven't even started to percol ate, but this is my last chance at bat for a while, so it's got to be done. I could ponder for the length of a few para graphs about where all our senior friends will be by the time fall rolls around again, but that would be sentimental and somewhat silly 'cause nearly everybody I know who is graduating, except coeds, is going to be in the Army. Which leaves one without much grounds for conjecture. COMES A CALL TO . YOUTH To Editor Lehman's desk this week. came a "Call to Reaffirm Our Declaration of Independence," issued by the Seyenth American Youth Congress. This year's Congress, to be held in the City of Brotherly Love and Chlorinated Water, Philadel phia—the scene of the historic convention that nominated Wendell Willkie (now knovOn as the "me-too man") for president—Promises to be at least exciting. • Having once, in the dear pink days before the War, attended sessions of the Youth Corigress, I know a great . deal more whereof I speak than do most of its self-appointed and uninformed local critics who are firmly convinced that Soviet Rus sia has a direct wire connection into its offices. What will really surprise them is the fact that Youth Congress delegateS are, even as you and I, normal Americans with haircuts, neckties, three button suits, et al. Union Leaguers will be sur prised to find even Republicans among the "rab ble." Of course, the AYC isn't the lily-white outfit it was in other days. It's democratically run, though, and its sessions are open to anybody who has the registration fee. It's reassuring, in this hey-day of chauvinistic emotionalism, to see. negroes and white. Catholics and Jews, ditch-diggers and Har vard men all sit down together and discuss their common problems as youth without the petty pre judices which all too often are the hallmark of older, more dignified assemblies. I'll admit that the leaders of the AYC are per sons tinged with the scarlet brush. Which is more our fault than theirs. If our self-styled decent, 100 per cent American organizations would lower themselves to participating in the congress, which is open to all "youth and youth-serving or ganizations, youth councilS , and assemblies and organizations desiring to promote the welfare of youth, a real youth movement might result. 'Til next fall then, you happy, about-to-be drafted people . . . au revoir. LOKI Items:— 0 Review Books—for examina- . tions—all college' subjects— complete and comprehensive 75c and $l.OO.

Chapel Fund Vole (Continued from Page One) made by a committee composed • of three Cabinet members and three members of the Penn State in China committee, with Chap lain John H. Frizzell as chair-: man. The recommendation was passed unanimously by this corn- • mittee. The controversy started almost; two months ago when Cabinet voted that two chapel collections each month should, be given to• a local _charity instead of nan. This action was contested.: by the Penn State in China corn--. mittee on the grounds that Cab -- Met had no, authority to take thii% action. Both Cabinet and the Perm.. State in China committee asked:. President Hetzel for a ruling otr• the question and the President asked that a special committee be set up` to make a recommen-. dation.
