Krell Counselor Tuesday Morning, March 16, 111411 JEail, Alma Mater (Continued from Page One) Well, what caused all this? Why should a group <>f upstanding fraternity and some independent boys want to destroy parking meters, lights and -signs? Some say it was justtified because the bouses were ordered to move on such short notice. Collegian thinks not. Although they may not have had specific notice, they all expected an adjust ment of some sort. Besides, how can damage of any sort rectify a patriotic duty? Another erason may be mob rule. When a crowd •gets together with a common feeling, almost any thing is apt to occur. This is demonstrated by a report from the IFC president that the several alining room chairs fed to the bonfire in the middle of Locust Lane were not put in the fire by mem bers of the house which owned the chairs. They were thrown in the flames by more than 10 fra ternity and independent men who surged through 'the house and took them. That’s mob violence! But the tfhird and perhaps most important rea son lor the trouble is the abundance of parties. 3.1 linking has as much to do with it as any other factor. It is hard to believe that such riotous.be h ivior should occur had everyone been completely .sober, That's a hard thing to do. To publicly ac cuse a group of classmates of being unthinking ■drunks. To say they acted like babies. To say they Joi: down a lot of fellow Penn Staters who were •crediting them with ungrudgingly giving up their 3iames. To say the mattier was disgusting and a %lack mark on this College's reputation. To learn iiiuit perhaps the boys aren't as swell as they tv ere thought to be. Who’s going to pay the bill? very student in ■college, whether he was asleep, or out on the street •acting like a savage, will share the burden of the cost through the “breakage” fee. It will be that Dnuch less money for the respective classes. In September 1938, when thousands of students ■came outdoors to watch the aurora borealis and ended up in a pajama parade and $5OO worth of damage to parking meters and property, the Colle gian had this to comment: “This college is an in .sl.itution of higher learning. As a component part of that institution, every student should feel it his duty to augment he honor of it, not detract from it; to respect -College authority, not rebel against it. to retain a sense of responsibility, not evade it. “.For your own good, remember once you’re out of College, yu’ll find that life has no room for you unless you have a sense of. responsibility, a re .spect for authority, a respect for other people’s property, a steeled defense against spur-of-the xioment outbursts that may do more harm than good.” Collegian, 1943, merely says, “the army needs a. You fellows ceTlainly didn't act that old on Saturday night. You're losing a lot by parting from your buddies, but remember there are better ways to have last moments together. Your sacri fice is nothing to what will be expected later. Other persons have lost things more valuable: firings which perhaps tore them farther apart in wurdly than this will—without losing their heads. 1< oop yours too."

The mob, in what appeared the last vestige of the old .Rah Rah Days, was probably one of the wildest ever to keep. the townsfolk from its solid I's hours of sleep on Saturday nights. What with. bonfires at practically every comer, including Co-op Corner, and one or two demon strations at Atherton, they had a fairly complete going-awa.v party. The only catch, in the works was the local gendarmerie. John Law’s august representatives succeeded in catching up with only one little fellow who was released on bail to the tune of “20 berries with trial impending probably Friday. He will, no doubt, be saved, though, because five of the student pre-legal eagles have graciously consented to act as coun sel for the defense free of charge. We would like very much to see the show when the eagles go to work toying to make fools out of Squire Hart and Burgess Yougel, and wish them all the . luck in the world. We’re going to borrow the Alpha- sigmaphi rowboat after they use it tomorrow night, and row out around the section through the beer foam to get one last look at the place before the army turns it into just a bunch of barracks. Vacation Remembrance While we’re on the subject of the borough of ficials, we hear they got not a few complaints from fraternity house managers for the forty some fines they imposed on the houses for not shovel ling the snow off their sidewalks during vacation in compliance with the borough ordinance re quiring that action. Not expecting any great snow fall over the SPRING vacation, house managers probably made few arrangements for the clean ing which the borough apparently wanted. At $4.40 per, the returns from that cracking down with the long arm of the law will amount to quite a tidy little sum. Incidentally, we hear that they’re doing over the borough offices.- Maybe they need the dough more than'the fraternities did anyhow. Skipping Semesters We finally made it to one of the women’s dances after three years in college Friday night and find that the informality of them is something to be appreciated in no small amount. They also appeal to us as a columnist because they serve to point out to us what judies want to run around with what guys around here. Very interesting. Yes, very.

Aw NutzU To get back to an old, old story, we were a little shocked to hear that, after so graciously deciding to give Dry Dock a break, Student Union board gave It a date on one of the heaviest social week ends in the calendar. Harvest Ball and Pan-Hel Ball on the same weekend are nothing at all and should give the coke night club quite a chance to make out in its fight to get back into circulation. We were scooped, really scooped, when Harry Coleman pulled All-College prexy Grey’s marri age out of the hat Saturday night. Our spies have been severely reprimanded, if not fired, for miss ing out on that, the biggest story o fthe year. Rube. (Eligible Bachelor) Faloon informed us the other day that Bob Davis, his former political opponent, is about to take the marital vows and become a member of the firm of Coleman and Faloon, Inc. bn their ranch next to Centre Hills Country. Club. One pinning to report to the public—Evie Wil liams is now wearing Gena Yeager’s Sigmapi commando badge. Jim Casey, typical Froth man, is still swearing about his Saturday night Cadette date. It wasn’t too bad if she didn’t drink herself, but when she wouldn’t let Jim drink, that was too much. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN —MANIAC Army Considers More fraternities (Continued from Page One) •Lane group is in the zone - for Army Engineers who will arrive April 1. Other fraternities will be taken over as needed and will be or ganized into zone units. By the time the quota is reached probably 511 houses, will be rented by the Army or Navy. See Editorial Hundreds of dollars of damage resulted Saturday night when Penn State’s fraternity section went on a “last fling” rampage as they prepared to evacuate for more than 1,200 incoming Army l pre pre-flight, Army Specialized Training, and advanced R.O.T.C. Students. The number has in creased since then. Borough officials were consider ably aroused after a survey of damage from broken parking me ters, street lights, street signs, and damage to homes. “If any more of these occur rences come up, we’ll have the State police here,” one town offi cial said. He also stated that an other episode such as that Satur day night might result in calling approximately 1,400 students in the Enlisted • Reserve Corps and Army Air Corps Reserve for im mediate induction. College mixed drinking rules were abandoned in many houses involved and created a problem of maintaining discipline during the next two weeks. Observers report ed noise in the early hours of the morning, a bonfire in Locust Lane, heavy damage to at least one pri vate residence, and a general care free attitude. Parties were plentiful. The inci. dent marked one of the most riot ous evenings the college has wit nessed in at least the last three years.
