Managing Editor This Issue New. , Editor This Issue ____ Women's Editor This Issue Sophomore Assistants Graduate Counselor Wednesday, November 5, 1941 IWA Versus Philutes Threatens Tollecome All-College ,Problem •All-College Cabinet will soon be faced with the advisability of approving a representative from the Independent Women's Association to sit on Cabinet if the new organization desires a vote in All-College government. ; Such an organization should not be inclined to overlook the feasibility of representation on the highest student government body. Since Philotes, independent women's society, now has a seat on Cabinet, it is unlikely that the body would ap prove a second person representing, technically, the same group of coeds. Such approval would be unfair to other groups having only one representative. Yet, if IWA plans mature, the majority of unaffiliated coeds will be members. Controversy would then lie between Philotes and the embryonic IWA. So Tar, merging of these two non-Greek organiza tions has failed to meet the approval of either. Both feel their goals are apart and their objec tives different. • Before this disagreement is brought to the at tention of the College, it would be wise to iron out the differences. This identical situation arose between the Penn State Club and the Independent Men's Associa tion. Only one of the groups was granted Cabi net recognition. Thus, some students are left without representation. . ' Seemingly, the argument would be condensed to this. Since Cabinet's purpose is to get full . . , :epresentation of all, which group would reach the largest number of coeds? • group would have greater contact with :its members and, therefore, have the stronger right to maintain representation? Which group would have the most active partici pation and, consequently, greater influence on student opinion? The All-College constitution does not auto matically provide that any new group should be :represented. It does provide that such a group submit a petition subject to its approval. The organization would, therefore, have to prove its merit to secure a voting member. Before the organization may submit such a petition, it must be granted recognition by the Senate Committee on Student Welfare. Prior to that, the society must present a constitution signed by students willing to be re:3pcnsible for . ;.he organization, and a definite membership plan.

RAMSEY Assistant Professor of Sociology When you see the firemen rush by on a shriek ing red truck, the policemen directing traffic: when you see the doctor on his rounds or the men at the bench in the factory we are reminded that each community is made up of a host of persons playing parts. They move . and work in close relation and interdependence. In some ways it is like a play but the likeness is limited because the situation -- is real. We sense the great de pendence in modern times of each upon the other and shrink from the chaos which would result if the action stopped or was seriously disturbed. Each June it is traditional to laud the graduat ing: classes which send forth their members as "leaders in the community." College graduates are expected to take up the more important posts where, because of greater knowledge and under standing they may guide and direct the, action. The role of leadership of the educated person is well defined in our folklore but tine record shows that relatively few play the part with seriousness and skill. Professors as a, group are not noted for their acceptance of community and national responsibility. Students leaving home for college spend im portant formative years out of touch with the home town and with world' affairs. .If some of the classes I .have •met are representative the great majority of students do not read the news papers or keep •abreast of contemporary events. Many never -return to. their •home communities but moire to the cities to live anonymous lives so far as civic affairs are concerned. A relative few have experience with carrying responsibility in carnpus life or move on to responsible leader ship outside. It appears to me that, in the face of the world wide transition which effects and seriously threat ens our way of life it becomes imperative for the educated person to assume responsibilities for leadership which heretofore may have seemed unnecessary. The guarantee of individual liber ties and the promotion of the common welfare under a democratic system depends upon creative leadership now as never before. Should it not become the serious concern of bdth students and faculty in the classroom and outside the classroom to join in a renewed and earnest search for an understanding of the role. methods and responsibilities for leadership in our time? Test Shows Non-Fraternity Men Equal 'Smoothies' In Personality The fraternity man, long depicted by fiction and the movies as the "smoothie" of the college campus, has no more personality than the non fraternity man, according to the findings of Dr. William M. Lepley, assistant professor of psy chology, who used a nine-part: personality test of Which he is co-author with Dr. C. R. Adams, assistant professor of psychology. According to the results of the test, the two groups were almost identical except that non fraternity men were slightly more intolerant of . others and somexAat more likely to agree with authority. Sorority women at Penn State, however, fared a little' better in their tests than non-members. They were more sociable, more emotional, and more docile On the other hand, the non-sorority girls were more easily annoyed,. more suggestible, more like ly to offer alibis, more anxious or fearful, and more intolerant. A possible explanation for the s.imilarity of the men's scores and the difference in the women's was offered by Dr. Lepley. He explained that sororities wait a whole se mester to pledge new members, while the fra- ternitie- are forced, because of economic reasons, to plo.hte quick];• and therefore give less attention t.) lli reesonality traits of pledges.
