What is going to happen to Penn State's stu dent government after this semester? There would seem to be three possibilities: The ;.ystem could struggle along in its present Conn; a new and more practical organization could be adopted to fit the opportunities of the times; or rtudent government could be completely forgot ten fertile duration. • In speaking of student government the refer ence is to the All-College set-up headed by All- College Cabinet and the All-College President as it now exists. WSGA will continue to operate un der the status quo and with an anticipated in crease in women’s enrollments will be called upon to enlarge. Eut what is to become of the all governing stu dent group in which men have held the majority to which their number has rightfully entitled them to in the past? Men to officiate in the posi tions that Cabinet embraces will be few and far between this Summer. Only a fraction of the pres ent male enrollment will return to school. - But there will- be male enrollment and that minority will need some voice in student govern ment— a voice that WSGA can not give them if only they should survive. It can be concluded that some skeleton of tire present system must be re tained. But why retain the present system as complete ly as possible? There are only a few Cabinet po tations for which women are not. eligible. School Councils, publications, the classes, dramatics and forensic activities, and the inter-class finance board could all be represented by women if there were need for such replacements. Only Inter-Fra ternity Council and the Athletic Association are organizations specifically for men. And if the bulk of the men are to leave the campus those two groups would not warrant representation! “All-College” signifies all Penn State. And as long as Penn State has men enrolled as regular students an All-College government would seem necessary. Men have out-numbered.women in the ■spat and All-College Cabinet reflected the ratio. If women are to outnumber men now why shouldn’t Cabinet continue to mirror the proportion? Here’s to Peon State’s first woman All-Coilege President. HOTC In Sports? Although it is not definite yet, there is a ruling afoot which will make all students on active duty in advanced ROTC ineligible to compete in inter college sports. Collegian repeats—thqiust Tvo'rd has not been said on the matter, lest someone get the impression 5 lact is being set forth. S'lviook at the disadvantages of such a regula tion. Look at the sports captains it would take out of competition. Look how hard it woult hit the 'baseball, track, tennis, lacrosse and golf teams. Collegian feels that as long as these advanced ROTC men are still regularly enrolled students at Penn State, and as long as they continue to pur sue their normal course of study, they should be .allowed to compete on teams. It’s only a matter of eight weeks, and the good will far outdo the harm. Think of all the air corps students who will probably want to watch Spring sports. They’ll want to see first class competition, not second rate athletics because the ranks have been deple ted by teammates disqualified through advanced ii-’DTC. And this year, the Blue and White has a pond chance to mufte a good impression in nearly ■ ‘•.vry st»or 1 :.

After trying hard for quite some time to get their boy off the rap the local authorities were trying to pin on him, the student pre-legal eagles lost their case for the student the cops caught in fraternity fling night last week. The boys who have had dealings with him say Squire Hart is quite a man to have to deal with. Spring Pins Well, Spring, beautiful Spring, 'Am I kiddin’?) has brought romance out of its Winter mothballs at last'. Finally we’re getting something done on this pin and ring business. Within five minutes yesterday we picked up the following items for the hearts and flowers department—Helen Deve neau is wearing Dick Ruder’s Thetaxi badge as a result of the weexend’s activity . . . Andy Lewis Theta has Gardner Lindzey’s Kappasig jewelry . . . Dolly Huber announced her engagement to an undertaker (the girls say she runs around with a long knife in her hand and glint in her eye ever since the good thing happened) . . . Jackie Stru ble AOPi is wearing around a big diamond pre sented by a Marine, no less ... You can’t say Spring isn’t having its effect on the student body. With the late curtailment of secend semester It fresh hours, petitions and a delegation of students to appear before WSGA Senate have been pro posed by one of the new additions to the depart ment; one Walter Q. Gerson. Spring Harvest Lotiir* H. Bell Though a little out of season, Harvest Ball, we understand, was quite the big success. The Hokey Pokey; under Dave Robinson’s masterful calling, was the high spot or the evening. We" picked out a few of the couples—Queenie Peggy Good Alpha chip with Ralph Clouser AKPi . , . Mona Shibli AOPi with Kermit Burd Deltathetasigma . . . Betty Lyman Theta with Charlie Good Phikappa sig . . . June Conrad ZTA with Arnold Chicoyne Alphazeta . . . Barbara Painter Alphachio with Harry Hofmeister Alphazeta .. . Sally Duffy Chio with Dean Hicks Kappasig . . . Jackie Faloon with Pro Long . . . Eddie Paisley with Walt Burg, And then, there’s always the guy who, after sneaking in the back door, requested a number from Maes tro Washko. And speaking of the Maestro and his outfit, someone just pulled a gag about them be hind our back here.' We don’t claim it as our own nor do we stand 'behind it as being, off the top shelf of the gag cupboard, but'he said, the, joker, “I don’t give a hoot for the' Campus' Owls.’’,We’re sorry. This Weekend ■;. —R. D. S. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN The Corner URUSUe LETTERS TO EDITOR Dear Mr. Editor: The Daily Collegian claims to be the tearless, independent voice or the student body. It is more than time for it to start a cam paign for the second semester freshman women. These coeds have been at Penn State for a semester and a half. During that time they have en dured all the hardships of frcsh , man customs. They have had one 10 o’clock' and one 1 o’clock on weekends. During the week they are not permitted to meet men in the dormitories. These coeds, many of whom are as sensible as the that gov ern them, are not allowed to be' with men after 5:30 p.m. And they: cannot go off campus with a date even in broad daylight. Many of the second semester co eds go with men who have only, six more weeks at Penn State. Some of these men who are going to war will never return. Should' all of these students be denied the ’ right to be together as much as j possible during thesp last precious! weeks? ' j Some of these men will be under; strict military conduct in two weeks. Then at the end. of the semester they will be shipped to all parts of the country. Is it just to tell them they can only see their women on one night a week until 1 o’clock? Collegian should try to do something about this. This week WSGA got big hearted. They gave the second , semester coeds two 12 o’clocks in stead of a 10 o’clock and a 1 o’- clock. That is worse than it was ■before. The poor coeds and their dates cannot even‘have one full evening together a week. . The frosh didn’t ask for this tremferi- : dous favor—it was pushed on them. Now the second semester freshmen are the only women on campus who are not allowed even one 1 o’clock. It is time to abolish long periods of -customs' as we abolish' many other rules when the'nation is at war. These second semester fresh man coeds should have equal rights with all other upperclass women, and Collegian should do! f'IM’STICK CASE >' cEeera for ■ Revlonf! BUEei>9tajr.on lipstick...in * case.
