"A poor player that struts and

Quotation from `Macbeth,' al
though not strictly applicable .to
the acting side the Penn State
Players, is still singularly apt.

The majority of members of the
undergraduate dramatic group
are by far the non-acting mem
bers. Representing almost every
school in the College, these 'stu

painting, and lighting. In fact,
in .past years the principal offi
cers of the organization have come
from the ranks of the back-stage

-said, because of a demand by the
members- of the senior class.

of materials due •to use of this
kind of material in military. uni-
forms, price of the coats will have
to be raised slightly.

PRICE THREE CENTS
IFC Will Take Poll
Of Independent Men
(See Editorial)
A sharp warning to discontinue
unfair rushing practices was iss
ued to Penn State's 47 fraterni
ties last night, as Interfraternity
C until met in its first post-pledg
ing meeting.
"The very existence of frater
nities as a campus institution is
being endangered,'! Jesse S. Doo
little, associate professor of me
chanical engineering, stated in
presenting the report of the IFC
Judiciary Committee he heads.
Fraternities cannot continue,
Doolittle added, unless • they show
more cooperation than has been
displayed in some instances dur
ing the past rushing season.
Doolittle announced that the
Judiciary Committee had found
one fraternity guilty of the spirit
of the IFC rushing code. •_Repri
mand before Interfraternity Coun
cil was the only punishment met
ed out to the house.
No further action will be taken,
according to Doolittle, because the
charges reported against the fra
ternity were merely exaggerations
of practices carried out in a lesser
dgree by other fraternities:
Doolittle's statements were re
affirmed by Sheldon C. Tanner,
professor of economics and busi
ness law, beginning his 14th year
as IFC advisor.
Tanner added that he had heard
talk of planned retalikion against
"that fraternity" during the Fall
semester rushing season.
"Interfraternity good-will and
prosperity demand much more
than that," Tanner advised. "Only
through complete cooperation can
our fraternity system continue its
multiple contributions to College
life."
Approved at last night's IFC
meeting was a proposal to survey
all . independent students on
whether they wished to "go fra
ternity."
