Fuoss Crcaduate Coun..ielor Thursday, February 12, 1942 Let's Have More Fun Big weekends are an established tradition at Penn State, rain or shine. But those weekends sandwiched between thoJe big ones could be xuade much more attractive. Presently, there is vi small variety of recreations suitable for both f.ratternity and non fraternity men and their dates. Of course the movies, fraternity dances, sports events, the bowling alleys, and Dry Dock have I provided entertainment for weekend dates, but ,leven those programs grow monotonous. The an 4nouncerrient.of the new. idea for an Old Main Open 'House comes as a Welcome diversion from - the usual program of amusements. The idea .of the whole new set-up in Old Main is to sponsor a recreation night, perhaps on Salt ,urdays, once a week at which men can bring co'eds .quid entertain them. The initial recreation pro= Aram on February 20 will feature the opening of the new fourth-floor game room, old-time movies :in the Little Theatre, "danaing in the • Sandwich ..iShop; and square dancing in 405 Old Main. Informal games are planned for the first-floor :lounge, and the newest dance records • will be played in the Penn State Club Room. Sponsored by nine campus organizations, the open house is one big step toward helping students really have tun in their spare time. In the back of the minds of campus leaders is 'the dream of a Student Union Building in the fu ture, but because of the developments of the times iffie idea may have to be shelved for a while. It seems an• ideal solution to the mixed recreation problem to have Old Main used for recreation. However, the plan had best be discarded if the N,s.iiole program is not placed in the hands of live ly masters-of-ceremony. No student will tolerate nn unorganized program. So when the doors are flung wide for the open house everything had Oest,be planned in detail. If such programs are to be continued, students kuust adopt a spirit of cooperation in using thle equipment provided for them: Then, too, if the idea is to succeed, the program must be varied .tacil time. It's a big job that will go ovler in the.same way with the students if it's handled properly. So let's :kiold our breath when the program is initiated Because the idea can definitely improve campus life for everyone. Our New Blazers Now that it is nearly certain that thte junior 6lazers will again appear on the campus, it has been reported that certain campus ,officials will attempt to discourage the plain. • Here we vastly disagree. We believe that students favor the re turn of one of the few traditions that have not been destroyed by new world circumstances. As long as the government has no priorities on Ole supply of _gabardine from which the blazers will probably be made, we may have the material. In previous years the main objection to The )lazer idea was that it would not be worn long &tough to get full benefit from it. Since college %v ,l l. continue during the regular summer months :oL a third semester, the blazer will assume added _!annot see any reason for any person or gcoto of persons to object to the idea if the :110 available.

Hei4e, then, are impressions of that conglomer ation of mystical impressions which its heaven gazing editors call "Portfolio." That the magazine should commit so many cardinal, sins is - understandable. Its guiding lights are young, impressionable, unduly influenced by Gertrude Stein. But, the, annoying part is that it should be .accepted as a major campus publica tion without a word of protest. Here, then, is that woad of protest. . Weinberg, et al, have inherited Fenn State's foremost literary vehicle. Inasmuch * as it is still the only campus publication dealing solely with the words of literati is is still the foremost of its kind. However, by all measures, it should not be. An outsider, reading Portfolio, under the assump 7 tion that this is what Penn State's voluble ale . writing, saying, doing, would be amazed, to say the least. It is agread that a campus literary magazine will ordinar'ly be a step ahead of the rest of the campus as regards style and form. Portfolio has taken that foot and grabbed a yard or two be but the trouble is that they're so far out in front everyone. It wouldn't be so bad if they stayed in front, but they trouble is ;bat they're so far out in front that we can't see where they're going. Which doesn't admit that the Portfolio clique is quite sure exactly where it is going. So hard are the intelligentsia who contribute regularly to Portfolio trying to keep ahead of .the rest of 'the . world that they've succeeded beyond their fondest expectations. So profound are they striving to make their efforts, that they've ex tended prof , mdity beyond the limits pf reality. So meaningful and .full.of portent are they hoping to stuff their pieces that ,they've swept past all outposts of meaning: The *dichotomy may be a fine literary form— if you know the author intimately, if words have the same meaning to you as they have to him. A disjointed, introspective meandering may have unity and coherence to the author of such a piece, since it is all part of the unity of his being, but to others who think in different seiwences, it is simply a set of meaningless 'phrases, deftly blown. , Here, then, is your trouble, Portfolio. You are :thinking in•different planes, with different values, about different objectives ;than we, your hapless readers. You are writing for your own amuse ment—or the amusement of your kind. Yet, ad vanced thinkers of your variety are a fractional minority of the 6,000 Penn State students. They are not numerous enough to support Portfolio. When you are established, on a popular basis, then will be time enough for surrealist expression. —LOKI Our Selling Policy '" How to be a good consumer during the.def ense- emergency: 1.
