Even the editor of Collegian had Any courtesy that you - may some advice for you in last week's show your teachers will certainly issue. Disregard it. He doesn't be appreciated since many of them know the difference between a are from an age more chivalrous frosh and a hole in the ground than this one.

This is me.. Ever since I came to State in 1865 with my carpetbag, and seven quarts of moonshine, I have been helping frosh, and none of them has died from it yet. To become a big gink on this campus, the freshman must excell in social activities, politics, and scholarship in the order named. The easiest way to get off to a flying start in the social whirl is to join a fraternity 'or a sorority. In other years there was• an elab orate rushing code worked out, but this has been replaced by the "Cassius Plan." - Under my plan all frosh who wish - to join fraternities or sororities will fill out cards giv ing their names, incomes, and main interests. All the cards will be put in a barrel in front of Old Main and on Pledge Day each fraternity prexy will reach in and pull out a hand ful of cards. The freshman will be automatically pledged to the fra ternity which gets his card...Natur •ally the fraternity whose president has the biggest hands will pledge the most men. Then the fraternities will 'be able to trade-pledges - among-them,- selves to round out their houses. The .rates of three bridge players for 'one halfback, one parlor ath lete for one politician, and two straight "3" students for one clar;- inet player should be followed. In politics the more people you know, the better chance you have of being elected. Therefore frosh oliticos are advised to stand in front of the Corner Room eight hours a day and say hello to all Who pass. In two months time you will be on speaking terms with the entire :'student body and your political fortune will be made. If you are a 'girl - with pretty legs, this time 'period will be shortened to two :daYs. But The successful - college stu dent must not ignore classwork and studies. If you cut a profes sor's class too many consecutive times, you may hurt his feelings. Now, professors are people tot), 'and they must have, some fun. If Freshman Customs Board A freshman customs board to handle all freshman women caught caught violating customs or_dating, has just been inaugura ted, according to Ruth Ernst, chairman of Judicial. ' The board, composed of the members of Freshman. Council and one member of Judicial will be headed by Ruth Kauffmann, Judicial appointee. Debaters Hold Reception Women's Debate , team will hold a reception for forensie_minded students• in the southwest lounge of Atherton 7 p. m. Thursday. Present members include G. G. Rosen, Bernice Greenis, Betty Ann McGinnis, Nancy Norton, Joan Huber, :Ind Ina Rosen, Clayton H. ,Shug, coach. acy in this art so as not to endan ger professors and other innocent bystanders. No frosh can "make out" with out proper publicity. A good way to get the necessary publicity is through frequent mention in Col legian columns. However, most Collegian columnists will not print such sordid news. They are honest and cannot be bribed. I can. So if you will just send your name (coed' include telephone number) and 25 cents in stamps or coin to Penn State's oldest boot legger— Your pal, P.S. How about the freshman class raising a collection and lend ing me five bucks? Letters To Cassius "Cassius" Editor, "The Lean and Hungry Look" The Collegian Dear Cassius, Purely in the interests of ac curacy, about which I'm sure you are deeply concerned, may I of fer a correction? In your column in the issue of July 7, you de fined an advisor as "a man whO is paid to look at the student's pitiful grade sheet, remember ewn—college_.triumphs,. • ,and - • sneer." As the oldest in service of the advisors on campus, I think, I'm willing to admit much of that definition—even to the "pitiful," but I can't admit the "paid." Ad visors are "not" paid to do whatever they do, or don't do, in the, process of registration. Such service as they render, unsatis factory as it doubtless is, is given out of their own time, and gen erally out of their almost un known vacation time. So-o-o, one can hardly lend the five bucks. Cheerfully yours, JOHN H. FRIZZELL Dear Professor Frizzell, ' Many thanks for calling my at tention to the mistake in my col unin. No one regrets the lack of accuracy more than I do. I should like to take this oppor tunity to congratulat you on your many years of useful and unpaid work as an advisor. . Respectfully yours, Cassius P.S. Are you sure you can't spare the five bucks?

Wednesday afternoon saw tra -ditional Penn State weekend weather appear prematurely. Thousands of students threw an gry glances at 'dark skies in the good old days, but the recent mid-week rain was an enjoyed surprise. Coeds began to run around campus in their bare feet. One contented soul was seen strolling down the mall in the midst of the downpour as if he just knocked off a "3" in a bluebook, and life was just one grand experience. Yesterday we met a freshman in the Collegian office. The dis cussion found its' way to poetry. The frosh modestly admitted he did some of the stuff and ac cidentally dropped a piece of paper. On it was a typical "frosh lament." It was a simple, sincere account of impressions he receiv ing during his days at Penn State. And this is what he says: "These are the days that try men's souls," The little freshman cried, "The sophomores harry me all the time, I wish they all had died.
