This evening hat societies are to tap 23 men. Ac cording to the purpose ot these societies, the men ■selected are the leaders in the various phases of ■campus activities. But are they? Are these 23 the outstanding ones, or are theFe some that don t rate •the honor and others that do and will not be tapp ed? II one surveys the situation carefully, he will ■find that there are two classes of campus leaders; those who have worked for their activities, and those who were merely appointed to them. Which ■group should be given the nod when it comes to making choices fop hat societies? The answer seems.obvious; those students who, by their own dilligence and effort, have become leaders, and mpt the pseudo-BMOCs- who attain their stand ing by having their friends push them along on the road to fame and a “hat,” . Activities that seldom fate hat societies are de bating, Players, scholastic honoraries, and Colle gian. Speaking from experience, a candidate for the Collegian staff does much more work, work for the betterment of the College, than many a class president. But you know the story, there is no glamor in being a lowly candidate, but a do nothing class officer, who may have been elected -by only two or three votes, gets all the glory. Play ers spend weeks in rehearsing new productions, yet recognition of their work is practically nil. .The same holds true for debaters. Members of •scholastic honoraries are shunned like a plague. ■ Hat societies have to remedy this situation if they are to maintain their prestige. kind of an objective rating system should be set up ■ and followed in' selecting their new members. •Theta Alpha Phi, dramatics honorary, now uses such a plan. It would be wise if other honoraries would follow suit. iOTTiED UNfIER AUTHORITY OF - COCA- CG LA -BOTTLING Business Manager Mary Louise Davey Gloria Nerenberg ... Patricia Turk Mervin Will David K.

The' date was November, 1943. Navy life was full of new ex periences. Lenore’s particular job was that of “antifouling paints to keep barnacles off the ships.” If nothing else, it contradicted the axiom that a woman’s place is in the home. Because she didn’t stay at home, another Navy man was released for active duty at a time when he was needed most. “It wasn’t out of the ordinary to be continually treating my hands for acid burns, dodging minor explosions, or reaching for a fire extinguisher,” says Lenore, but she is quick to smile and say that Navy life was okay. After two years of service, Le nore received her discharge in time to enroll at the College for the fall semester. If she didn’t have any “watch duty” in the Navy, Lenore is currently mak ing up for it. You see, she plays big sister to 30 freshman co-eds at Cody Manor . . . yep, a house mother ■Philadelphia is her home town, Bacteriology is her major, and she takes plenty of pride in the Navy blue. JOURNEYS WEST It is not always possible to put through Long Dis- tance calls to the far West without delay. A major reason is returning veterans and their desire to call home. Sometimes, too, lines to the deep South are overcrowded . • . for the same good reason.. But we’re .putting in more circuits—thousands of miles of them —as fast as we can, and we hope it won’t be much longer before we-re'back to pre-war standards of service. TH E BE L L T:E LE.PH&'NE COMP A N Y -O F ?f ,N N SYLV A :N FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 1946 Letter To Editor Dear Editor: There are several fraternities in our Alma Mater who think that they are too good for Penn State coeds as Xar as dating or even nonchalant conversing is concerned. Their motto is “The more blase, the better,” or “Stick together to the last man.” Why should the “hello spirit” be a strain on these potential isolationists on our campus? It seems as though imports are tlhe only females they’ll condescend to date. Wake up fellas! Learn that the grass-isn’t always greener on the other side. Can you boys spare the crumbs from your tables? “Mickey" Teitleman. Chariest. Wagner . . . acting dean of the School of Liberal Arts, has announced that there will 'be a Liberal Arts faculty meeting in Room 181 Sparks, 4:20 p,m., Wednesday, at which time all chairmen of facul ty committees will present their reports. hS.
