Graduate Counselor Wednesday. October 15, 1941 irs Time For Action . The Collegian is glad to see that the caterers' association is still allve but wonders. how much life there actually is in the gr , :)up Will the asso ' elation straggle along. accomplishing nothing. as !,it did last year? Or will it realize the increased e.l - 1 ed for cooperative buying and do something. 9,bout it? ;-" In this connection. the caterers will do well to review a report presented last November to the , National Interfraternity Council by its committee on policy: The following problems were includ ed among those which the committee predicted .turierican fraternities would have to face: 1. "With costs increased, chapters will have to enlarge revenues or reduce expenses. 2. "With the loss of leadership due to the mili tary enlistment of older men, add , tional guidance will have to be provided." That time has come. Costs have increased and fraternities must face the facte, and do something • about them. First among the means of decreas ing .expenses in the chapters themselves, the com mittee recommended cooperative buying of food, coal, and other supplies. The committee's report included this statement: "This is already being done in some colleges. It can be 'organized almost anywhere.. The chief essential is an able purchasing agent; and ,the • savings should be large enough to permit a salary adequate to secure competency." That is sound, adv;ce, and Penn State fraterni ties cannot afford to overlook it. Fraternity leaders admit that expenses have to be cut to the bare minimum. If this can be accomplished without sacrifice by cooperative buying—and -it — can—why not do it? "if At first You Don't Succeed Freshmen have no cause to complain about the extension until after Christinas of the period dur ing which customs must be worn. To us, Tribu nal's action seems logical. Say what they may, freshmen cannot deny that observance of cus toms has been lax. What freshmen fail to realize is that customs include more than clinks, black ties, corn cob pipes, dating restrictions, "Button, Frosh" com mands, and admonitions to "keep off the grass." There is more than this. Customs include parti c;pation in Penn State lifean intangible feeling of closeness to the College as something with a personality as unique as that of a person. The failure of freshmen to try to do this is evidenced by the low attendance at freshman class meetings intended to foster Penn State spirit and knowledge. The extension of customs is the result. It may not be the remedy but, at least, it's worth a try. Helpful Hints On 'How To Study' Simplify 'Blue Book Cramming' Now that "blue book" season has caught up with us and the air is filled with the groans of students suffering from unpreparedness, it might be .a good idea to formulate our own scholastic defense program and round it out with a few valuable hints on just what this thing called "study" is, and how one goes about it. Since it is improbable that outside .preparation for classes will be discontinued in the near fu ture, it is advisable to set aside a definite work ing period each day. Your preparation schedule ahould provide for at least 25 hours of study a week, and since ea'.ing and sleeping really are necessary t(m), it is wise to really concentrate when you "hit the hooks." 11.1.t1 . :-._ , :., , i. , L . .:z::: , ..t . cornfortn'ole, iN - 2 sure tiro 1il.;11 _Donald W.

By ROBERT E.GALBRAITH Associate Professor of English Composition Are you dull on dates, dour at the dinner table, beaten down at bull sessions, reticent in recita tions? Well, we are not surprised. The cause of the foregoing social stymies is not hard to find. The void can be filled by constantly reading up to-date periodicals that are not illustrated by Mr. Petty. Turning sleuth, we did a bit of investigating. We discovered tliat the library subscribeS to 1,200 various publications, ranging • from five-cent weeklies to such dollar items as Fortune. Tech nical papers span the alphabet from the Acety lene Journal to the Zoological Record. We foUnd scores of "digests" of both general and specific subjects. Where are all these magazines? Well, besides the periodical room in the central library, there are branch libraries in Patterson Hall, Pond Lab oratory,• Main Engineering, "and Mineral IndUst ries. Furthermore, reading rooms have been established in the Agriculture,- Forestry, Home Economics, and New Physics buildings. In addi tion, the architects have a reference room on the third floor of Main Engineering. We were told that any women's magazine one could ask for ould be found .on . 'the shelves of the Home Ec reading room. The central library is now a repository for governmental publications, which have, of late, been greatly improved in content style and for mat. Many are profusely illustrated. The best of general arid culttu - n1 magazines in clude several devoted to belles lettres, such as the Yale Review, the Southern Review; and the New England Quarterly. Hence, we clear the library of any charge of not being interested and active in providing peri odical literature for the students. What about the student? Technical students have used this treasury for occasional assignments, but too many stop with the reference to a single item, never referring to any page or article not mentioned by the instructor. .Numerous students feel that they have "done enough" when they have read a chapter from their texts. But texts are at least a year old. Journals print the latest findings of literature and science long before these items can be assembled in a printed volume. Since almost every vocation has one or more trade or :technical journals keeping its workers up-to-date, the trainee in any special curriculum n .ust rely upon these publications not Only while he is in college, but for the next twenty years, if he is to keep abreast of his fellows. The sooner cne gets acquainted with the - best sources of de ....pendable information in his vocation, the better cif he is. We know a score of "3" students who are "periodical prowlers," but we are not ac quainted with a single "0" boy who finds - time to do much more than glance through the picture rags. Many a bull-session is a wasfe of tithe because in one present can produce a r•_cognizable au thority to support his "facts." When the session 'turns into a debate„ the disputant With .the great est lung capacity "wins." Don't rely on half reniembered quotes from -a single article—broad en your reading so that you have a 'back-log of information on both sides of any contemporary question. But you haven't the time? You - may .save minutes by following the bulletin, "Outstanding Articles of the Month," that is posted at the read ing room. Try asking the' librarians for help. They are the most willing workers we know. attack. If you have several' subjects to study, finish one before you move on; don't try to flit at random from one to the other. Don't day dream. If you really try to understand what you're studying you'll find it becomes much more interesting. And don't attempt to lie down and study, especially in a warm room. The tempta tion to sleep is terrific. In regards to classroom work, write your notes legibly and in outline form whenever possible. If you simply have to "doodle," use a separate sheet of paper. Don't try ,to copy everything your "prof" says. Think first, then mite what you, think is important. Review your notes fre quently: the time to study for exams is through out the semester. When you study for an examination, don't spend too much time on what you already know. Concentrate oir what seems hard for you and try to link seemingly disconnected material with a central thought. or with things that you have Letters to the Editor— Doggett Questions Bus Stop Editorial To The Editor: Your Saturday, October 11, issue carries an editorial in reference to the matter of bus stops. .It should be pointed out that three members of the borough . Council have con tinuously and consistently favored College ave. bus stops, whereas two members have continuously opposed such stops. The remaining two members have taken"variable positions depending on the char acter of the proposed legislation. Under these circustances and with -our usual democratic proce dures the business of the bus stops has taken some ten months to set tle. 'We now have a modern bus terminal on Highway No. 3-22 and in addition bus stops located 'con veniently close to the main en trance of the College, the State Col lege Hotel, and Atherton Hall. The present majority of Council has,at tempted to suit the convenience of as many individuals as' possible and at the same time minimize the congestion at Co-op Corner. The editorial states that "the Borough Council has written an other chapter in the smutty book known locally as the 'bus stop sit uation"--"adds more confusion for already perplexed students"—"All df whiCh may .'be very amusin,' but also confusion' ". The Borough Council is very anxious and more than willing to cooperate with stu dent representatives, but editorials such as this are not apt to further understanding and kindly feelings between the two parties. In closing may I point out that if the Greyhound Bus Line wisheS to let girls - off ,in front of Atherton Hall, there is nothing in the re cently passed bus stop ordinance to prevent -this. Yours very truly, LEONARD A. DOGGETT, Meniber of state College Borough Council. Cabinet Rescinds Action On 2 Council Budgets (Continued from Page One) to determine what signs will be permitted. Refusing a suggestion of the Athletic Advisory Board to ban frosh parades between halves of home . .jootball games because "Penn State has outgrown this parading'," Cabinet decided to re commend to the Board that this tradition be continued. Cabinet also sanctioned the payment of dues to the American Federation of Student Govern ments, and decided to send All- College _President Gerald F.
