Acrgies 'On The Ball'.
At. , .
Lots of students ask, "Just exactly what do the
Student' Councils do?" Here's one example.
Recently the Agriculture Council adopted . a set
of resolutions pointed at a better Ag school and
also a better Penn State. In addition it has pledg
ed its facilities towards the. promotion of these
Ihecommendations. .
Complete and efficient :health service, more ade
quate Student Union facilities, up to date course
descriptions in the College catalogue, are the im
provements suggested-for the College at large. 411
of. these are problems that have been hashed and
rehashed various student bull sessions. All are
problems which most students realize are serious.
For "the Hill" in particular the Aggie urged
continued cooperation with faculty and adminis
•tration in development of- academic and social con
tacts of Maximum mutual benefits, consolidation
and reorganization of overlapping courses,
inp)rmed advisors, and recognition of outstanding
teachers and advisors.
But why confine these latter requests to North
•~ast campus. Like their All-College recommenda
tions these are all singularly adaptable to all of
Penn State's seven schools.
While these are only words with no immediate
set up for action stated, they : arenevertheless evi
dence that these problems are at la'st becoming
topics for formal group discussion rather than in
effective, unorganizezd, campus gossip.
So here students, that's what one school council
:i:; doing. —R. D. S.
Philadelphia Story
Faint blasts from Penn State's activity Curfew
are still re-echoing throughout the Nittany Val
ley. Some say that this new plan will die a
natural death, while others claim that the 8:30
restriction on campus activities will yeather the
present storm of disapproval, and in time will be
recognized as a valuable part of the College's
war program.
But only time will tell. And then someone is
bo . und to sit back and say with laconic greatness•—
"t told you so."
Yet, while Penn State is throwing together pros
and cons of the argument on the curfew, our col
-I•agiate neighbors from down Philadelphia way are
also stewing over the same problem.
The bosses at the University of Pennsylvania,
after realizing the need for revamping their in-:
stitution's policy so that it will prove of greater
benefit to the nation's war efort, decided that ac
livities should go on in much the same manner as
Iney did in pre-war days. In particular, they felt
that publications should not be curtailed, and that
exitertainment such as the famed Mask and Wig
shows should continue on a peacetime basis.
Now you may ask—just how did Penn revamp
fic reorganize its program to fit wartime meas
ures? And at this point, the Pennsylvania prexy
-stepped in and said that class cuts should drop to
minimum,.and that all students should do a lit-
Ve extra studying, especially in courses that are of
direct benefit •to emergency measures.
-All in all, it looks as though the Penn bosses
:have. dusted off an old plot and tacked it to a new
I:t.Ory. And there is no reason why—it shouldn't

scream. This creates quite a disturbance among
' all the libi : arians and it'is a rather amusinv, sight
to watch fifteen or twenty of them fanatically
dashing in and out of the stacks in a furious
search for the source of the scream.

The Truth

At last we have dis Covered the ideal cure for
war nerves, the most fool-proof way to remain on
the wagon For at least three days, and the easiest
way to tool away the time and still be able to tell
our conscience that we learned something
The solution is stack browsing. • Although it is
a closely-guarded secret there are actually thous
ands of, beautifully . .bound books of all shapes and
sizes stacked away on stackks in the building at
the head of the mall known as. the library.
The ingenuity we employed to discover the hid
den treasure is a story in itself. It all started one
day when in a curious mood, we walked up to
the main desk, opened an old shoe box and spread
out a tasty looking
_lunch which we Proceeded to
devour in about fifteen minutes. Much to our
pleasure and pride, we had figured the timing
exactly right, because just as the last doughnut
slid down, up walked an attendant. This is a good
practice to follow = saves much time otherwise
wasted and gives the library a - certain pleasant
home-like atmosphere.
Then the idea came. We would get into those
stacks if it took all afternoon. Cleverly, we slipp
ed over to the card catalogue, laboriously filled
out 36 cards and proceeded to hand them to .the
same librarian with as little show of stark insanity
as we could assume. It was all very simple after
that. First she let: out a long wail, after which
we explained that if she would not allow us to, go
back to the stacks and browse; she would have to
.bring the stackks down to
.us. to browse. This
settled the matter.
Upon first laying.. eyes on the one set of stacks
we were filled with an intense .desire for -knowl
edge
• immediately teinpted to e!cecute , a
running leap. at a choicy:volurne entitled "Early
Egyptian Economical 'Theories and Their Tt.plation
to 'the Political and Diplomatic Welfare of the
Sahara Desert." .
However, a large book beside it, "The Private
Lives of Turkish Monarchs" drew our attention
instead
To break the monotony, we .decided it would be
much fun •to get lost in the stacks, establish our
selves at a certain point, and then let out a shrill
