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.

By DUANE V. 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
