First and foremost, coeds told Miss Zang they like a man with a sense of humor—not a "funny man" or practical joker, but one who enjoys life and can take as well as make jokes. Dancing be ding a favorite pastime of most women, they p;efer a man who can at least support his weight on 'Us own feet. However, each year the Penn State Club spon sors dancing classes, so those who ',lave never mastered the art should not despair; they can learn. Coeds like good conversational -ists, but not the type that have a )imited vocabulary, using "I" in termingled with a few verbs.

They usurped vital time to pro mote tHeir own interests—time needed badly by administrative officials •and student leaders to clarify meetings, customs, and rules for confused frosh. At last night's meeting Arthur R. Warnock, dean of men, ex plained that, in past years, College government and student govern ment each conducted a separate meeting. Last night, however, student leaders and administrative officials combined to share a meet ing. The PSCA apparently had one all to itself on Sunday night. We are not attacking the PSCA and its accomplishments. But we are completely frank in saying that the CA did a poor job of running the first mass meeting. We will even say that they displayed poor taste to mon opolize an All-College program and neglect other campus organi zations. PSCA leaders ip charge of the meeting seem to have forgotten that the PSCA, although import ant, is only one of many campus groups with which students should become acquainted. They seem to have overlooked the fact that it would have been much more practical and polite to introduce their various officers at a com pulsory chapel rather than the first night freshmen were on cam pus. We remember initial mass meetings as they used to be— short, riqppy speeches, plenty of songs, cheers, and excitement. We remember them as being so much fun that they scared away the homesick feeling. We remem ber meeting important student leaders and faculty members. Ev erybody liked those meetings. Sunday night, tired and• spirit less frosh stumbled out of Schwab.
