After May—What?
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

Oh sorrowful day! 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.

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!
