The Brawl, Chapter Two
Column one on the next page carries a letter
sVjri). .i representative of the fraternity men who
,u e moving from their houses. Glancing there to
> rad that would be a good idea before continuing
thu; editorial.
Going alt out and granting the author of that
Jotter every singLe point, Collegian still fails to
•see any justification for the damage done Satur
day night. Forty parking meters, twenty street
lights and nine street signs is a lot of destruction
because the job of moving wasn’t candy-coated by
the College. Notice to move in even a shorter pe
riod would be no excuse for damaging borough
juoperty, for what did the borough have to do
with the situation?
It’s comparable to junior pulling the neighbor’s
flowers because he didn’t like his breakfast. And
further, it boils down to the question and per
haps basic philosophy of “When do two wrongs
make a right?” The boys involved may have been
angry because the borough fined them for not
Gearing walks over the last vacation, but they
a)l knew of the borough ruling. They may have
been peeved because they didn’t have enough
time to move and they see tough conditions
ahead. As far as finding rooms and eating out—
well, the independent men have been doing it for
years. The independent men had to look for
looms; they had to dash downtown and wait for
a turn to eat in a crowded restaurant. There was
room for everyone to room and eat when the
college enrollment was 7,000, and surely the room
ing houses haven’t walked but of town.
Living in Luxury may .have given rise to an
expectancy that the College knock on the door,
announce that the truck is waiting, and proceed
do move the evacuee to his new residence. Is
nomeoue supposed to strew roses on the path "be
tween the fraternity and the new quarters? '
Perhaps Collegian has been too bitter about
the affair. It’s the paper’s opinion the “brawl”
occurred out of drunkennes and a common feeling
of having one last good time, rather than any
feeling of revenge. Whatever the motives, it grates
•against our Love of Penn State and all the intan
gible things that go with it.
.Let’s not have it happen again.
The Nairn© Only
Once upon a time there was organized upon
Ibis campus a group known as the Student Hous
ing Board, an All-College Cabinet committee ded
icated to the improvement of, simply enough, stu
dent housing.
The committee originated like most committees
(la; somebody crusaded, somebody else thought it
was a good idea, and just like that it was organ
ized. At first its work was commendable, there
were ail kinds of surveys about the rooming con
ditions in the town and everyone agreed that
things weren’t as they should be. But things sort
<>f folded up right there. Activity but no concrete
Vesults.
However, the committee continued to exist, for
Reasons no one seems to know. Each year the All-
College president appointed a new chairman and
co-workers and there is such a committee on
campus today—but in name only.
And right now is when this committee is vitally
needed. ’ And right now the committee amounts
i.u nothing but a bunch of names that Cabinet
•uppoirted at the beginning of the semester,
Thc'e is > need for such, a working groue.

A Lean and Hungry Look
The miracle that is Spring
seems to be about veady to bless this
vale of perplexity, but we notice
with mild interest—due to an early
onset of the “Fever”—that the argrar
ians would have it otherwise. We are
quite well aware that many, many . .
changes could be laid to “the exigen
cies of wav” hut this is the first time I
Seasonal Rotation has been put there.
Meaning, of course, Harvest Ball this SfN>
weekend. Cabinet’s plan of: don’t
antagonize any - groups - by - ’letting
them-all - have - their - fling - bei’ore
the-Gethsemane seems to be having its reper-
cussions
Mulciber, our alter-ego, who remained in "The
Deserted Village" over the vacation reports that
the femmes fatales of C-W contingent now regard
their brothers-in-arms, the Ensigns, with acute
disfavor. Seems the big-hearted, handsome, blue
ciads sent a delegation over to Mr. Watts Hall
to ask the girls if they wouldn’t please all fall in
in the yard for an inspection by the critical tars.
The idea being that those girls who were the
prettiest and those who were fortunate to have
their overalls pressed at the time would get dates
with some condescending Ensign. Along the same
line more or less is the communique from Tred
wynkle who has forsaken us for the muscle mill
of Rec Hall about an overheard conversation re
lating to the Ensigns: No. 1, “In gym clothes those
Ensigns look like freshmen. ” No. 2, (snorting)
“Freshmen! They look more like WAACS!”

Addenda and Errata: By some mysterious al
chemy, the aforementioned Curtiss-Wright coeds
are able to submerge their/personality and beauty
at will. During the day they take on the appear
ance of fit companions for side-rule and tacho
meter, but at night, like the witch of Snow White,
they become someone else. Having been tipped’
off by the Centre Daily Times “Bookworm” that
five of the gilts were formerly professional models,
we were eager to have investigated furtherfi but to
no avail. Information to their whereabouts • will
be paid for at the usual rates.

Looking through the "Yale Record" Eli’s “Froth”
t’other eve, we read with sympathy the - tale of a
student who asked one of his professors one day
for a note stating that hfe had been dismissed
from that particular class' at 2:06. When informed
as to the whereabouts of the student’s next class,
the prof replied that he could easily make it in
four minutes. Whereupon the stude came back
with an agreement but added that school regu
lations proclaimed ten minutes ' between every
class, and darned if he wasn’t going to get them.
Need we draw any analogies. —Cassius

Varied pi'ojects will be super

Red Cross is one of the most essen

in peacetime as well as now.
Coeds will and .are receiving
their opportunity to reciprocate, to
help their country and to repay
WRA. White Hall asks nothing but
wholehearted attendance and co
opei-ation. The rest is up to coeds.
