PSCA, Tlie Unlauded
One of the foremost organizations on this
■campus is one which often misses a lot of the
Credit due to it. That group is the PSCA, always
.sponsoring some activity, meeting, or other bene
ficial event.
Liast Summer, students will remember, the CA
was asked to have its funds audited through the
Associated Student Activities office. However,
.since the organization felt that its many petty
expenditures would cause a lot of unnecessary red
tape in making numerous requisitions through
■the Associated Student Activities office, it refused
the request and subsequently lost its active seat
on All-College Cabinet and became an ex-officio
joember.
The PSC.A lias proved to everyone concerned
that its present system of accounting is a good one.
Administrative heads were particularly satisfied
•with it, and there are many who believe the pro
posed system was interior to their present system
of bookkeeping. A certified public accountant
checks quarterly.
Gaps in the social calendar are filled by the as
sociation. Students virtually run the PSCA, gain
ing ‘valuable leadership through an intricate asso
ciation government, headed by its cabinet and
;;/,udent officers. A joint student-faculty Board of
directors is the executive body.
Old Main Open House, freshman orientation,
Christmas carol sings, the freshman counselor
.system and many other projects now taken as
part of Penn State’s activity, program vvere first
inaugurated. by the PSCA. -It has helped
"unite the town student church organizations with
other religious groups, and has done much to
break down interdenominational prejudices.
Annual PSCA reception will be held in the first
floor lounge of Old Main from 7:30 p. m. t0'9:30
1). m. Monday, when Dr. Igler, tomorrow’s chapel
.speaker, .will talk. Proceeds will be donated to the
World Student Service Fund.
Silver Lining
For an interesting contrast in relations between
jpen’s fraternities compare the present situation
to that of a past rushing season, particularly the
Mummer semester’s cut-throat week. It all proves
very interesting.
.Right now, fraternity men are cooperating and
pooling their resources so that the type of organ
ization they all stand for can outlast the war. To
day it is the combined _ memberships clinging to
the very thought of fraternity and all it offers.
But during a rushing season—undisturbed by
the outside forces which threaten to disintegrate
ihe Greek groups today—the relationships vvere
dsoidedly reversed. There it was. each and every
Pouse for itself. Subtly and unsubtly it was the
uim of every member to boost his own and no
i >hn;r house.

AL last the men seem to have found some di-
version from their ordinary hum-drum social life,
That’s the only conclusion that The Cub can draw
under circumstances. This is destined to be a dirt-
less column in the true sense of the “who's going
with who" sort. The boys have been too busy haul
ing luggage on the poor, tired shoulders to give
the coeds much time to make out, hence the dirth
of pin jobs and knot tyings . . . There really should
have been a little more cooperation. Bill Mc
knight, former gossip monger is back on campus
with his Coast Guard ensign's uniform and his
girl, Lil Clark. He’ll think the campus is degen
erating into an institution purely of higher learn
ing when he takes a look at this.
Mole Hills
Since when has it been a noble patriotic duty
to'give a girl a chair, especially when she’s been
doing all right without it? Certain people are be
ginning to think, no doubt, that the Ath Hall coeds
are a bunch of stinkers for not. turning one ■ of
• their chairs over to the Curtiss-Wright girls. It
seems the way the matter was presented they
were going to really be helping the war effort and
be helping Uncle Sam along by their noble dona
tion. Of course, the coeds were a bit antagonized
by such a tear-jerking plea. Who wouldn’t be?
Considering the fact that for a whole semester
transfer coeds who were paying to come here
were never given a thought as to their reclining
needs, when they lived in Watts Hall, who
wouldn’t be slightly bitter when asked to give
them up to girls who are being paid to come here?
Coeds were never given such consideration be
fore. As far as an inability to get new chairs is
concerned, a local furniture store says there are
still plenty on hand fot the paying. Or maybe the
College doesn’t consider it a good investment to
buy chairs now for the visitors. After all, they
could be used then for coeds when the College
returns to normal. . . The Cub is beginning to
think -that , too much emphasis is being placed on
this “patriotic duty” stuff. It’s okay in it’s place,
but when it comes to chairs, that’s going too far.
If the matter had been approached in a more logi
cal manner such as, “How about giving a chair
to the kids in the tri-dorms? They could each use
one,” it probably would have been accepted in a
much better manner. After all, the coeds aren’t
really that unfriendly. This is a good example of
making a mountain out of a mole hill.
Here And There
What we want to know is, what are they going
to harvest at Harvest Ball tonight? With hay in
their hair and music of the Owls in their ears,
aggies and their friends will probably harvest a
few sore if nothing else... Tonight the phigams
will have a big blow-out, probably lording it
over the more unfortunate Greeks who are now
huddled five in a room in room and board palaces
... In spite of war, weather, and wolves, the al
phachirhos were allowed to hold their dance last
night since it had already been planned. Accord
ing to. high potentate Phil Mitchell, who took
Elaine Miller, the hoys were really exploring new
territory. At the last stand, with Sonny Roy beat
ing it out, the coeds made out, with only- about
five imports there. Included in the happy little
group were Chris. Zimmerman-Peggy Wiley, Pete
Brown-Ethel Kirk, Ray MaxweE-Lee Addleman,
John Crosbie-Jane Head, and Fred Peters-Betty
Heacock. Alum Bob Schimpf was hack with an
import. . . The girls in Frazier Hall are reaEy get
ting a thrill these days with the lambdachis as
neighbors across the street in their new mansion.
The view from their windows is really quite in
teresting, too, according to the boys. . . And now
that everybody’s settled and waiting for the ar
rival of the pre-pre flight boys, coeds with any
thing in mind might like to know that the new
uniforms will be worn on the manly shoulders of
high school kids. What a let-down.
mate results of war staring them in the chapter
room. Groups so far unaffected have shown re
markable willingness to offer their facilities to
their ousted fellow students. Long-standing fra
ternity feuds have lost their spice. It’s no longer
each house for each house—today it’s fraternities
for fraternities.
