Announcement of the probable availability of Army Specialized Training students for member rhip in Penn State fraternities may bring thoughts of the old-time rushing, but there are many other : , :actors which would tend to make this impres- uon a wrong one. In the first place, the fraternities which still ))ave houses when the Army Specialized Tiaining , program is.established at. Penn State wil have a , decided advantage over those houses which have evacuated for servicemen, In the long run, however, when all houses are taken over, no group will have an edge over any other. For a while, before the training programs ire built up numerically, there will be some ad-: vantages for certain houses. But so many other questions have to be answer cd first that it is useless to plan ahead on a "rush ing -as-usual" basis, no matter what assumptions are made regarding the effect of wartime con ditions. Another thing, what incentive will the gpeCialized training student have which will cause Idm to pledge a fraternity? Few natural ties ex i:it, and if he doesn't expect to live in the house, what would make him want to become a Greek? As soon as a person pledges a fraternity merely for the name, or the pin, or the appearance of the house, or any other materialistic factor, he is losing the fraternity spirit. The very nature of the root, "fratres" ..neaning brother, would be undermined, unless the trainee really felt he was rharing friendship with persons he regards' as irothers. • Another viewpoint is that perhaps the ideals of a fraternity will have to be abandoned in war tirtie in order to sustain the existence of the fra amity structure itself.. Maybe a lot of things or dinarily considered im pledging will have to be o verlooked. in -the interest of pecuniary matters, save the financial part of the fraternity. • At all events, it is plain to see that "rushing as-usual" is something which probably cannot take place under the conditions which will exist i3esides, the fact that Army Specialized Training students will be permitted to pledge fraternities i 3 still an assumption. Ah, Spring There is a professional iournalistic assumption which states that when an editorial writer begins lo discuss the weather, he has run out of editor i,)l material, and is merely filling space. But this April 16 snow certainly deserves•com ,•.ient.

According to WSGA bigwigs, those that are staying around the Nittany Valley get the the studious type and remaining to get in a little concentrated studying. Maybe that's true of some. Under the assumption, coeds have gener ously been granted 11 o'clock permission .for Thursday• and Sunday nights. With no classes scheduled during this period, and with most stu dents staying only because of the transportatiOn difficulties getting home, it seems that 1 o'clock permisisons might have been granted for each of these nights. Those who want to study could do so, and others who are taking their vacations in State College "would be able to have a little vacation themselves. It's probably too late now, but Senate might give it a little more considera tion in the future.

Realizing the fact that alarm clocks are no longer on sale, the pre pre boys seem to be taking it upon themselves to see that no 8 o'clocks are cut.

It seems that Lord thought the Aristocrats were not good enough for him and was continually ridiculing the band. Instead of trying to smooth out sore spots in the band he was promoting them. Feeling that toe star trumpet player wasn't earning his pay as leader, Les tired him and gave the baton to Bob Norton. Bob is doing a fine job and has the band back in sippe for the Zeta formal tonight at the Nittany Lion, according to George Rice, lo.:at jive authority.
