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.

Panhel Council
Bans January
Rushing Term-
Rushing and pledging of first
semester freshmen and transfers
will be abolished for the next
semester beginning in January,
Pauline E. 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. Free association •
which began yesterday• will con= - 1.
tinue from 9 a: ni. to 6 p. ni. daily
until 6 p. in. Tuesday, September
