ffC Rushing Procedure Improves
• Breaking all-time rushing records as far as the
number of fraternity pledges were concerned.
this year's. rushing campaign also was the most
orderly and best conducted.
Where in former years The Daily Collegian
was forced to take the initiative each day in com
piling a list of new fraternity pledges, this year
. a
secretary employed by the Inteifiaternity Coun
cil kept up-to-date records.
Not only had the bad ethics of the old rushing
code declined to a minimum degree, but frater
pity houses cooperated with each other in making
:vushees keep luncheon dates. and dinner dates:
. The. only hitch in the present rushing code is
the moving out of rushees from houses after
they had been turned clown as• prospective
pledges. A more pleasant way of turning down
men after they have lived in the, house during
•t - ushing should be considered in the IFC rushing
'code.
On To Buffalo—With Reservations
• The final step toward. sending the Blue Band
to the Colgate game was taken last Saturday
when the Athletic Advisory Board recommended
the appropriation of $375 from Athletic Asso
ciation funds to complete the $l5OO. needed for
expenses. The Buffalo Chamber of Commerce
donated $750 • and the Interclass Finance Hoard
gave $375.
• This action, however, •was taken reluctantly
and was finally passed with some reservations.
Only under these particular circumstances was
the sending of the Blue Band on a third trip
approved.
• The board felt the annual budget can include
only two trips each year, and that if the sending
.of the Blue Band on a third trip this fall were
to set a precedent, the request from Buffalo
should not be honored.
However, since Buffalo civic offcials have been
so enthusiastic about the Colgate-Penn State
football game and have raised about $750 to de
fray half of the Blue Band's expenses, the board
considered itself obligated to meet the good-will
offer with an equal gesture.
• Only on condition that the student body does
not- expect to take the Blue Band on other foot
ball weekends to away games did the board ap
prove the transfer of the Athletic Association
funds.
This decision and the conditions laid down by
the Athletic Advisory Board were fair, as was
its expectation that the students in turn would
not grasp this action as an opportunity to hold
up as a precedent which has been broken, but
rather a move to meet an unusual request.
Cabinet Has A Big Job
Tonight All-College Cabinet inaugurates its
first session without the guidance of the old
cabinet. Faced with the ever-increasing threat
of war and its far-reaching fingers upon the Penn
State campus, the cabinet has a big job on its
hands.
Not only will it be confronted with routine
problems but with new and probably more diffi
cult situations. A steady hand and mind will be
needed by every representative.
With a firm purpose
.and renewed interest in
campus affairs, this cabinet can illustrate to the
administration that the student is capable of
handling his own problems. Last year may have
been t.ll ye, - o.- for College athletics: this may be
the ;;CPI' cur snider t i s hol.o so.

Dates, 50c Each:
It was arranged (some way or other) for Phil
Spitalny's visiting lovelies to have dinner at the
Theta Xi house and then be escorted by. two of
the good brothers, Pat Nagelberg and Jimmy Mc-
Adam. Pat already had a date with his own
town .lovely however, and offered his option on
Vivien to any taker at fifty cents. • As soon as
Campy heard the glad tidings. he rushed out,
hoping to get a date but alas, George Winne, a
mere freshman, had paid over the fifty centimes
and received from Pat an ironbound contract
relinquishing all' claim to the date.
Gee, and I would gladly have paid seventy-five
cents.
Absent minded Profs: • •
`Tis said of an IE prof that one day he walked
into a class of 100, opened his roll book at the
wrong place, called- off the names to which there
was no response. Completing the roll, a puzzled
expression on his - face, the bewildered• man an
nounced, "There's nobody here so we can't have
class," and put on his' hat and walked out of the
room. (Hann)
These Psychologists:
This year's prize collection of goons was dis
covred accidentally by G-54 when he walked
into psych 415 by - mistake. He counted an assort-:
ed number of grandmothers, feather merchants,
one or two fugitives from a looney tune, and a
reluctant dragon, before he sled the place in
terror.
Most Embarrassing Moment: - - -
We think Bayard Bloom, better known as "Five
year Bloom," walked into a Math class the other
day to find his kid sister, Virginia '45; also taking
the course. This didn't bother Battling Bloom so
much but when the kid pipes up w=ith, - "Don't
worry. I'll get' you through the course," that' was
too much.
Double Talk:
Among the gorgeous Mac Hailers is a girl
named Forrest Cook. There is nothing unusual
about that, except—she hails from Cook Forest,
near Brookville.

Penn Given $51000,000
• PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—(ACP)---Gif ts totaling
nearly $5,000,000 from 16,000 friends and alumni
were given the University of Pennsylvania at its
200th anniversary celebration. •
The week-long, observance drew representa
tives from hundreds of colleges, universities and
learned societies. Highlights included• conferring
of honorary LL.D. degrees upon Presidentßoose
velt and Sir Lyman P. Duff, chief justice of
Canada.
Intellectuals Can Be Dull
STATE COLLEGE, Pa.—(ACP)--So-called "in
tellectuals" who know all the answers oftentimes
are "unintelligent," a University of lowa psy
chology professor told the American Psychological
Association here.
"When carried to extremes, mental stunts such
as cross-word puzzles and question-and-answer
superficiality have the effect of making a waste
basket of the human mind," said Dr. George D.
Stoddard. "Sheer accumulation of information
is the antithesis of intelligent activity."
Dr. Stoddard charged that present intelligence
tests overlook 'originality,' and measure only
items which have been overlearned and do not
show what new solutions or original patterns a
child or an adult can produce. "Therefore, an
1. Q. of 110 or even more can no longer be con
siticred an evidence of genius."
