We 3ke Women Coeds Dig Grave For Honor System Ours is a deglamprized era, and one of the most recently belittled . ideals at Penn State is the dream /lTlfiniUlPPri of an honor system for women’s elections. Committees to head the campus Fostered by campus idealists for many years, the honor system h;s. refused to materialize because of inadequate cooperation. Staunch supporters of the measure during its incubation period have been sorority groups and independent organizations. Now the laugh is on the system and its proponents. . They’ve been caught with their ideals down. Balloting for Harvest Ball Queen and Quill girl are contemporary examples of campus intrigue, back scratching, and plain ballot stuff ing.

Fares are low! HERE’S HOW YOU, TOO, CAN TRAVEL ON "COLLEGE SPECIAL" REDUCED Tp d FARES Students and teachers travel from and to their homes at great savings on these College Special tickets. To make this saving, all you have to do is purchase onejrom your hometown rail road ticket agent before returning from the Christmas holi days. The cost is amazingly low—liberal return limits fit your school program —you can make stop-overs, too! There are reduced round trip Pullman rates, also. When Spring holidays come you can use the return coupon to travel home again or use it at close of school. IMPORTANT— It is expected that on account of a heavy volume of Military furlough travel, as well as civilian holiday traffic, passenger travel during the forthcoming Christmas*New Year's Holiday period will be extremely heavy this year. If it can possibly be arranged for students to leave school December 17th or before and return to school January 7th or later, it is urged they do so. It will also be found easier to make reservations and more comfortable to travel on or before December 17, 1941, and on or after January 7, 1942.
