P)caeltical Merger
Ildependent men will get a new system of rep
)..v.,.ntation on All-College Cabinet starting next
:;(9nester. The new plan consists of having the
..2.:.cutive boards of both the Independent Men's
tzsociation and the Penn State Club, meaning the
four officers of each group, both new and out
meet.to debate who the representative will
The new system is a move which might• never
irpre been expected one or two years ago,
when the IMA and Penn State Club were some
what at odds. It is a good sign for independent
ollen that these two groups have united to the
paint of getting together to choose a representa
tive, and perhaps to map several other beneficial
plans for independent men. Opposition on All-
College Cabinet held that having these two or
,ganizations choose the representative would be
depriving the independent non-members of these
organizations of a vote in cabinet.• Another argu
n)ent was that the IMA and Penn State Club have
unequal representation, since the IMA supposedly
contains more members.
Truth of the matter is that while the Penn State,
Club has fewer members on the roll, it has at the
same time, more active members, more men who
ibave interest in independent activities. The IMA
31.91:3 certain men as members, but its slight func
tioning doesn't help to get a unified, interested
;membership.
Helping the independent men become better
-organized in these times may be somewhat out
of the question. Things aren't very stable. But it
aright be a good.idea to work out more plans.
In The Dark
. Keeping lights 'in one piece along the walk on
the far side of Hort woods is quite a problem for
Grounds and Buildings. Some persons would
rather have them out, and in times when man
power and electric bulbs are scarce, the practice
is not very patriotic.
The department of grounds and buildings could
possibly remedy the damage by putting wire
around each of the lamp posts to protect the bulbs,
but wire mesh is on the priority list and cannot
be used for that purpose. Blame for breaking the
bulbs, either with stones, BB or small- calibre
guns, has been placed' on children, since at is ex
pected College students would have enough sense
to know better.
That walk is a dark one. It's no pleasure to
walk along an inky black path next to a woods at
night, especially for women. Several accidents
have happened in the past under similar circum
stances; accidents which have caused much trou
ble to the persons involved as well as the College
reputation. Light is one form of protection. Patrol
ling, a constant practice, is another form. But
unless those lights keep shining, the patrolmen
Cannot be as effective.
Get In The Reserves
• Today is December 2. Enlistments except for
freshmen, in Reserve Corps, close December 15.
Personnel from the Navy and Marines will make
their last , visits Friday and Monday, respectively.
In other words, there not's much time left for en
-listing in the Reserve Corps. For information con
<..erning meeting places of these Corps see Tues
:clay's Collegian, or if in .doubt about any of the
reserves, waste no time in contacting (Robert E.
Clalbraith.
:Tomorrow is December 3. Enlistments for up
perclassmen close December 15. Persons hatrd
+been accepted for the AERC with 20/200. vision.
Yr in doubt, don't wait. Get in the reserves now if
. y.41.i want to continue your present program.

It looks like The Cub will have to find a bomb
proof cave to hibernate to after every week's
epistle. They're clamping down. The editor has
given an ultimatum—we must sign our columns.
It was nice to have had friends. anyway. (Now
we're bragging.) The Cub will probably soon
change its identity—to The Lone Wolf. Such is
life, and back to the weekly process of digging in
the dirt. Never can tell, either. Might find a for
tune like the gardener did in the current produc
tion at the local flicker palace (no free advertis
ing.)
Apologies
We were called on to beat out this drivel all of
a sudden. Seems one of the boys didn't want to
attach his handle to the column. Shy, you know.
Arid since the process of dirt collecting usually
continues till the end of the week, we were caught
with our hands comparatively clean. But as pinch
hitter, we'll carry the torch, and expect a few
stabs in the back.

What with graduation coming near, the season

Letters To The Editor—
Collegian Corrected
On Song Suggestion
Dear. Sir
• Referring to the article in your
Tuesday; November 24th Collegi
an headed "Nittany Palisades," I
would like to advise you that af
ter checking up with prominent
N. Y. U. graduates that "Pali
sades" was written in the late 90's
by Rev. Duncan Genns. He wrote
both the tune and the music. It is
not an old hymn as suggested in
your article and it seems to me
writing Penn State words to this
beautiful tune would be most un
sportsmanlike.
Sincerely,

`Meteorology Needs
Women',Neuberger
"Meteorology needs • women,"
said• Dr. Hans Neuberger, atssociate
professor of geophysics. Dr. Neu
berger asked coeds to consider
meteorology as an immediate field
with unusual financial benefits.
Weather buireaus have felt the
gap' left by men called to the arm
ed services and it is urgent that
women replace these men, accord
ing to the meteorology professor.
A meteorologist may earn from
$1,400 to $2,000 a year according
'to seniority.
Both army and local centers are
employing women as forecasters.
An observer, the, lowest rank, re-
quires only high ' school'. back
ground in physics. A junior mete
orologist's
o rating requires six col-.
.lege credits in physics and mathe
matics. Senior meteorologists must
have at least two years of college
credits in mathematics, including -
integral calculus.
Dr. Neuberger adviSes coeds
considering this new opening for'
women to elect meteorology
. 301,
a background course. Government'
forecasters are given a six weeks'
preparatory course before being
assigned to a station.
"There is nothing that a woman.,
cannot do at well as a man, as far.
as non-physical work is soncern.l,
ed," Dr. Neuberger stated. •:.. •
