Greek Weekend?
The present semester, long as it is, promises to
be a full one as far as the -social calendar is con
cerned. Nearly every weekend from now on will
sn.clude a dance of some sort.
Soph Hop, definitely scheduled for February 19,.
and the proposed combination of Senior Ball-
Junior Prom again will give the semester two
"big" dances. A third big dance may also enter
• the picture if IFC can ' persuade Panhellenic
Council to share its dance date and make it an
ail-out Greek weekend.
It seems that IF Ball was not originally sched
•uled. for this semester, but for the Summer semes
ter, since it usually is- sponsored during the second
3?art of each term.
- But Inter-fraternity Council officers get corn
yensation only through IF Ball: Chances for a
zuccessful IF Ball are better this semester than
nest Summer, so Keller and company are all for
• a fraternity. dance before May. They promise
2nost of the proceeds to go for the war effort:
Probably more significant is the resolution
ladopted , by the Student Union Board that all
dances should help the war effort, either through
defense stamp sales with tickets, or through bonds
after proceeds are tabulated. Action on the senion!
junior dance combination,. and definite scheduling
.of. social events will have to be approved by All=
'College Cabinet, together with the war reCom-
Yn.endation.
Ten Years Young
Not so long ago, when a new group of ensigns
arrived and went to the movies before they had
a good chance to look around campus, they were
beard remarking about their new environment.
"Listen to them hiss and boo like kids," one
:serviceman remarked. "You can easily tell it's a
co'Llege town."
:But Collegian wonders what they would have
.flaid if they were forming first impressions last
night, when one of the underclass hat societies
"initiated" new members by having them run
down the.aisie of the theatre and across the stage.
No, the paper isn't taking a longn-osed atti
tude toward student conduct. Recreation and clean
fun are necessary for relaxation—providing it
doesn't inconvenience others. Collegian does feel,
however, that initiations could be more grown-up,
less foolish, perhaps more impressive.
Tribunal frowns on such public disturbances
and threatens to take action if such practices con
tinue. Why not do something more healthful at
initiations, hat societies? Have them eat raw eggs,
for instance.

It still must be true what they say about the
frosh. Managing ed Dick Smyser was confronted
by one of the lowly beings the other day with•the
question, "Are there any prerequisites for the
Artists' Course?"
Next on the list of what readers (those that did
break down and buy the rag and the over-the
shoulder men) seem to want in line of news
is the latest bulletins front . the romantic

February. He leaves for the Army on the tenth. , .

Here And There
That old fraternity spirit comes through again
. . . Achio alums Peg Sherman, Emily Funk, Kit
Bean are earning their bread and butter in Philly
these days, and they have an apartment together.
Next week sister Mickey McFarland will move in.
What a setup—even a fourth for bridge.
Quoted from today's issue of the best morning
daily paper in Centre County—" For the first time
in the history' of the Artists' Course, the student
body has purchased more tickets than the faculty
and townspeople.", With trips to surrounding com
munities definitely out, they're planning to take
in the local points of interest. Or is Carmen Ama
ya the big attraction?
Alums and such back for Theta formal tonight
include Janie Berkebile and Charlie Slep, phipsi,
Polly Vanneman, Emae Hartos, now working : in
a dfense plant, back to see Clark Daugherty, delt.
Marge King and- Sammy. Chase, beta, will . take
the vows Tuesday so she may accompany him
to Harvard. Ruth Popp and . George Mosch will
say their "I do's" - March 13 and will. go to
. med
school in Philly together. Next day sister Katey;
playwriter, Thespian dead-pan; etc;, , will leave
for LaGuardia's hangout to climb the ladder of
success.
Joel Seskin, phisigmadelta, and Rosanne Brooks
are at the starry-eyed stage ... and; Shelly Marks,
brother psd,, is-just- about . ready to get rid• of his
pin to Adelaide Gluck,
,aephi, according to re
ports from G-53. .
That',s all for now. • .

Prexy Hetzel in attendance with his wife at a
local theatre showing "I Married A Witch." Prexy
evidently enjoyed the • pleasant fairy tale as his
congenial face broke out quite often with laugh

on campus to prevent students from impressing
more paths on the grass as they short-cut their
way to classes. However, none has yet been erect

we're beginning to think it is permanent . . . .
Tennis courts finally flooded over as ice hockey
men begin daily workouts.
ans are Ed Lee and Jake Cohen—both proud of
their year spent in the Nittany Valley.
A glance at the Student Handbook, more com
monly referred to as the Frosh "Bible," will show
"The Hills of Old Penn State," a beautiful song
written for the College by Fred Waring.
If television could be reversed so that Waring
and company could see their radio audience,
they'd find Penn State alumni and students the
best listeners. '

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
—The Cub
Letters To The Editor—
Come on now, Cassius—
Let's toss out the antiquated
lingo and be modern about a very
timely situation. Wednesday you
spoke about White• Hall as being
in "an uncivilized land of the
ferocious Indian." You were quite
right, Allah Blabba. White Hall
has been scalped so many times by
uninformed sources that we have
decided , to create a little action on
our part.
--Your propositiOn,, oh, wise one,
was to "allow men - to-,utilize the
facilities of White Hall" with the
women for whom, I, might add., it
was built. You. write as though the
swimming pool, and bowling alleys
are unused and 'unappreciated.
Perhaps this will clear your hazy
concept a bit. Aside from regular
ly scheduled class periods the pool
and alleys are used five nights a
week .by women. The WRA Bowl
ing Club has 25 members, more
than the two alleys can accommo
date; the swimming pool is used
one evening a week for life sav
ing, another for aqua'cade practice,
another by the WRA Swimming
Club, and the remaining nights by
coeds who attend planned play
nights, etc. At the last play night
50 coeds used the gym, bowling
alleys, and pool—not enough, we
admit, but enough to prove that
White Hall is more than just a
"harem of a place" td the women.
There are also enough coeds in
terested to maintain 11 activities
clubs swimming, tennis, dance,
fencing, rifle, bowling, golf, bad
minton, archery, bridge, and a
year-round outing club. ' Every
night one or more of these or
ganizations holds meetings or ac
tivities in the building. There are
also intramural games in which
all of the dormitories and sorori
ties take Hart. Interscholastic tele
graphic meets in rifle, swimming,
bowling and archery :have been
carried on a enumber of years with
other colleges and universities. All
thiS proves that White Half 'is util
izing its facilities.
- We appreciate the need for a
place of recreation
.for men and
we realize your problem concern
ing Bee Hall: but it, is your, prob
lem, we have solved ours. Friday's
issue of the Collegian seemed to
carry. your answer: Glenn N. : Thiel
has announced a voluntary physi
cal education program for juniors
and. seniors which is now avail
able to get you, in shape. Here,
future Soldiers, sailors,, and ma
rines, is your chance to prove your
point. If you. are interested enough
.in physical fitness you will use
your facilities five nights a week
and allow
out
Haidt to continue
..to carry, out a full
. and" . Successful
.program.
Sincerely,
"Cordelia"
Trackmen To Hold

Three teams will compete in the
inter-squad two-mile relay race at
New Beaver Field, 3:45 p. m. this
afternoon, according to Ray Con
ger, varsity track coach.
"All three squads are closely
matched, and the run should be of
interest to track fans," said Con
ger.
Results of the race may deter
mine the starting lineup of the
relay group that will run in the
Millrose Games February 6.
Time trials by the 12 runhers
fighting for starting places on the

race are Dibeler, Foreman, Carle
ton, and Mitch Williams. Joe
