(More) Advice To Rushees
Fraternity pledging starts at 5:30 this after-
That may not be important to a lot of students
but to every freshman being rushed and who in
tends to join a fraternity those words contain a
Problem: What house shall I pledge?
Much advice has been offered. A very little
More may not be amiss.
Ddn't.be in a hurry about pledging. If you
have any doubt at all about whether you should
pledge - a 'certain fraternity, don't do it. You have
four years of Penn State life ahead of you. That
is a long time in which to make a•.wise ChOice,
and an equally long time in which to regret an
unwise one.
On the other hand, don't be too fussy about un
important things. You won't like everything and
everybody in a dormitory or rooming house, so
don't expect fraternities to be perfect. Nothing is.
The best guide you can have is yourself. If
you really want to pledge a fraternity, do it. But
be certain you are making the right choice.
A No Parking Notice
Several of the smaller eastern colleges have
seized upon the gasoline shortage as an excuse
to prohibit student ownership of automobiles.
Judging by new campus traffic regulations put
into effect last June, it looks as though Penn
State might be trying to achieve the same result
by making it almost impossible for students to
benefit from using cars.
Under the new rues, students may park in only
two areas, the parking lot beside . the varsity ten
nis courts, and the lot across from Atherton Hall.
Tat's . all. Even the spacious lot . in .front of Rec
Hall is not for students, according to the rules.l
The regulations make it pretty easy for faculty
.members, however. They're permitted to use any
parking area.
• Parking on roads is ended too—but only for
atudents, .not. faculty members._ When the owner _
is on an errand (how long does an errand take),
faculty members arc permitted to park on the
north side of roads running .east and west and on
the west side of roads running north and south.
As usual, all student automobiles must be li
censed by the College. Permits may be obtained
at the Campus Patrol office, 320 Old Main. They
cost 25 cents each.
Cassius Is Dead
Cassius is dead
Those of you who were here last year remem
ber The Lean and Hungry Look, a Collegian col
umn written by Jacob Hay '4l who signed himself
Cassius. Students new to the campus missed one
of the best regular bits of writing ever printed
in these pages.
We think—and we are. not. alone in this opinion
—that Cassius was unique. Knowing .no one s can
be found 'to take his place, The Collegian is :dis
continuing The Lean •and Hungry Look as a trib
ute to its writer.

By WILLIAM J. GASKILL
Instructor in English Composition
Mrs. Ralph ID. Hetzel's Fund for Emergencies
moves quietly into its third year of operation at
Penn State. Modest and unsung, this little fund
has proved itself ~one of the most helpful on the
campus.
It is not an ambitious fund. It will never
finance any young man or woman through college.
11 wasn't designed for that purpose; 'lts only pur
pose is to produce quickly, without any red tape,
small sums of money for worthwhile students who
.find themselves suddenly in critical need of mon
ey. And it has served that purpose well. since its
creation by Mrs. Hetzel and a small group-of ad
ministrative and faculty people meeting in the
PSCA office back in January, 1940.
Evidence: Russell E. Clark, College bursar, who
regards the fund as a special pet, reports: "As of
August 27, 1941, 184 loans have been made to 154
stude.nts for a total of $1,529.91 . . . The total re
payable loans amounted to $1,430.51." Total mon
ey contributed to the fund is $1,158.14—a lot
of .money, especially when we realize that no ,gift
to the fund has exceeded $lOO and that many of
the gifts have been as small as $5.
Money, unsolicited, comes from numerous or
ganizations and persons that have admired • the
quiet effectiveness of the fund. Probably the most
interesting sidelight on the organization -.contri
butions is that all but four of the contributing or
ganizations are made up entirely of women; yet
136 of the 184 loans made to date have been
made to men.
- The fund plays no favorites, however. Those.
who find themselves in emergency need of money
generally apply to Mr. Clark; either directly or
through a faculty member or administration em—
ployee; and the bursar, tamed and feared .for his
ability to uncover the shrewdest Of schemes, sizes
up the applicant. With •the aid of others who may
or may not vouch for the applicant, he then de
cides upon the worth of the request,' grants , or"
refuses the loan. The whole procedure may take
no more time that it takes to write a signature
on a check.
Loans have been made for all kinds of reasons.
The fund has helped to buy books, food, shoes;
it has supplied money for repair of eye glasses,
for emergency trips home, for commencement ex
penses, for job interview, trips, for room rent,
Such a fund as Mrs. Hetzel's has a very im
portant place on ,a campus as large as
: that of
Penn State; for there is no more comforting feel
ing for the student, we should imagine, than the
realization that someone stands ready to help him
in his personal need.
