Mitchell Assistant Advertising Manager Leßoy Winand Graduate Counselor Thursday, September 17, 1942 Fraternities Face Fines Everyone is getting disguested with several thoughtless students Who persist in bringing Penn state into a bad light with the town people and town authorities. - The last instance was the report from the bor ough. police that fratetnity men and organized independent men have stolen and destroyed lan terns, street signS, and rubbish cans belonging to the borough. This could be overlooked as just another dem onstration or "collegiate life," btit these signs, lanterns, and cans are much needed by the bor ough and, of course, cannot be replaced at any cost. Borough police know that several fraternities have stolen articles in their houses, and each liouse could be fined. In fact, one house has been caught and fined. The aim of the police force is not, however, to see how many fines it can col lect, but rather to have these articles returned, so they can be put in use again. For this reason Police Chief Juba is asking all :fraternities and organized independent houss— in fact, everyone that knows where any of these goods are, to report them to the police, Student 'Union, or The Daily Collegian office and the bor ough truck will pick them up. Juba promises That no questions will be asked and no prosecu tion made during this drive. However, he empha ;sized, if after everyone has had time to bring in these articles, the police find cans, signs, etc. in t'any houses, these houses will be fined. Three years ago a similar drive was made under the direction of All-College president Cliff Mc- Williams and excellent •results were obtained. Fraternities brought back many signs, claiming that after the novelty of taking them had worn off, they were only in the way^ and house man agers were glad to get rid of the "junk." If for no other reason, the students should look on this as a patriotic duty. The signs are badly needed and metal is so scarce that other signs are unobtainable. D.L.W. Service Subscriptions In conjunction with its policy to offer 'ever available benefit to Penn State men in the armed services of the riation, the Daily Collegian has decided to cut one dollar from the regular semes ter subscription price of every paper mailed to a service man. This action was taken following the great de mand for college publications by men in hundreds of camps throughout the nation: In making this offer, the Daily Collegian believes that many students on •campus, as well as organizations, will take this opportunity to aid classmates who are !new in the service. Place your order for a "service subscription," , and the Daily Collegian will take care of the mail ing. Quotable Quotes • Here's one for the books. In the latest official news clip Aheet from Harrisburg, there was a story which told of the plight of the potato growers of Pennsylvania. "The smaller growers not having equipment to fol low a consistent course of spraying are said to ,be hard hit bythe potato disease . • . . Although .blight is found in most areas, it is not seriously prevalent in most commercial potato growing en .'tirprises because 'these growers have prayed ;heavily." Just another typographical. amen. The accelerated calendar has caused life to be come so intensified, hasn't it? An accelerated Campy has grabbed a diploma and taken it on the lam, leaving another accelerated Campy to dish out libel in his place. If you thought our predecessor's stuff was tripe, wait until you read this. Oh; well, it's about time you started ex periencing some of the horrors of war. A Study In Red Penn State's Sillier Student Salons . (affection ately called All-College Cabinet by the .students) was in session. Dotty Brunner, WSGA bigwig; had the floor, and was earnestly advocating an earlier curfew for the' College's alleged woman hood in keeping with Prexy Hetzel's recommenda tions for m^re serious study. __Louts H. Bell "There's no reason," Dotty said, "why coeds should be allowed to stay out until 2 or 3 o'clock on big weekends. A girl never has any run after 12 o'clock anyway."• Suddenly it became apparent that the face of Barney Plesser, AA prexy and half of the well known Brunner-Plesser combination, had turned a cute shade of - pink. Cabinet guffawed. The pink changed to deep red. Romance, Pins, And Sutfi Either romance has sunk to a new low or our trusted Operator G-47 has fallen down on the job. He reported only four pin jobs during the past week . . . Bob Edgerly, delta chi, bestowed his jewelry upon Betty Story, dg . Bill Lunde lius, chief of the IFIC Gestapo and man about town, has succumbed to the charms of a Central Extension cutie . . . Art Christman, another delta chi, gave his pin to chio Mary Thompson .. . Just 'to prevent the Delta Chis from getting a com plete monopoly on the pin-giving business, Luther Boyer, of the House that Les Built, gave his to the girl back home Peggy Ann Consley, a dg fresh last year, got herself a husband in Maryland last week. And that's quite an acomplishment these days. Biggest Show In Town State College's current sensation is the nightly strip-tease show put on by the lassies at Frazier Street Dorm. It seems that the misguided (or are they?) frosh have their telephone by an un shaded second-story window, and have the habit of answering the phone in all stages of undress, the boys across the street report. Recently one of the guys called the dorm and gasped, "For Gawd's sake, either leave the window shade the whole way up or the whole way down. Stop teasing us like that!" The Perfect Retort Imressed by the prexy's address at the convoca tion Monday, a visitor to the. campus asked his student friend, "Do you college boys waste much time?" The reply came back in a flash. "Oh, most girls are reasonable." Item On Circulation We read someplace (yes, we used to do some reading 'before we switched to good old LA) that a doctor said that tight clothing Stops the circu lation. Phooey! The tighter a girl's clothirig, the more she circulates. Collegian Classifieds Pay Genial Lennie Bach, this rag's hilliness man ager asked us to try to find out who inserted the classified ad offering a motorcycle for sale in yes terday's issue. No address or phone number were given. As this is being written, Collegian has re ceived no fewer than 17 phoned ° inquiries about the motorcycle. Will somebody please help us out? Gripe Of The Week Why can't something be done about the messy condition of Old Main's first floor lounge? The tables, coke bottles, and general confusion deeply offend our esthetic soul. Just think of the let down the campus visitor gets when he enters Old Main's majestic front, goes past Hank Poor's fine mural, then enters—that. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN The „((sip Campuseer "Pop-in" nights are not a part of sorority rushing. A traditional activity of orientation, they are conducted by WSGA for the sole purpose of furthering relation ships between old and new coeds. That's the story, and we hope that you will stick to it. However, WSGA and Panhel lenic leaders strive to think and act realistically. They know that sororities assigned members last Sunday night to cover certain, dormitory rooms. They realize that past freshmen have neglected upperclass women in dorms to visit houses in which they were interested. Because the majority of coeds erroneously believed that Panhel lenic conducted pop-in not tbo much blame can be placed on them for their past actions. Their further attitudes and activities, beginning this Sunday night when frosh and transfers do the visit ing, is a different matter. WSGA Senate has stipUlated that upperclass women living in dorms must remain in their own rooms. If they rececive guests at sorority houses, they will for feit a one o'clock permiision.\ However, problems like this are not - solved by rules and pen alties. Pop-in nights will return to their intended status only if coeds see the value in forgetting sorority affiliations and visit with no ulterior motives. Frosh and transfers can start the clean-up campaign this Sun day night by popping-in on inde pendents as well as Greeks and by visiting dormitories as well as sorority houses and suites.

Keller '43, Panhellenic Council president, announced. Adoption of this policy will be necessary because' only three rushing seasons are legal during one calendar year, Miss Keller said. ~ • Council members agreed un animously to abide by special rushing season suggestions apply ing to . the present "period of na-z, tional emergency, submitted re cently by Senate Committee on Student Welfare, according to Miss Keller. Student Welfare suggested that sororities formulate all plans with regard to health, scholarship, and general morale of all members in-, volved. Panhel agreed that all rushing "bull sessions" be. confin, ed to the shortest .possible time, with such meetings .extending no later than midnight. Since several chapters have ex ceptionally large pledge classes and active membership, Student Welfare - Committee recommended 4 " that sororities consider carefully the number of coeds rushed and pledged this semester. • Miss Keller reminded Greeks that chapter penalties will be flicted if members violate the rushing code• by associating with Little 'Sisters Or CA chuins during silent periods.
