PAGE TWO Social Calendar All-College. President Vaughn Stapleton was on ;the spot at Cabinet meeting Thursday night. when delegates from the Greeters' Club asked him to affirm the report that Cabinet was spon :;oring an all-college Les (Brown dance for May 24, the night before the Greeters' all-college dance. The rumor, of course, was true. But Staple ton was on the spot for breaking in on the suc cess of a dance that was already scheduled. The Greeters, a group of hotel administration stu dents, had signed up for their dance last January, ;and at that time both May 24 and 25 were open. Stapleton, as head of the dance committee,,was .able to sign Le s Brown for only one date, May 24. Fully realizing that another dance was sche duled for that weekend, ,Stapletonsigned the con tract, because he felt that students are more in terested in having another "Winter - Fantasy" than the usual dance with a smaller band. Several members of Cabinet told the delegation from.the hotel administration club that the Les Brown dance wouM probably help, rather than hinder, the success of their dance because the two dances together would make a "big weekend." That, of course, is a matter of 'opinion. Using last weekend as a criterion, following the Spring Nocturne Friday night, there was a com paratively large attendance at Fun Night at White Hall Saturday night. This is just an isolated incident, and no one can foretell the success of a dance after a Les Brown ball.. The entire mix-up about the dances was created by a lack of a social calendar committee. If such a committee were in operation, a group which signed up for a date at Recreation Hall would have to keep that date, and no other group would be allowed to schedule a similar affair the night immediately before or 'following. In this man ner, the College social. calendar would be more balanced, and each affair would be assured of a fair chance at success. Such a plan was in operation on the campus before the war, but during past semesters it has been abandoned. But with more social events being planned now Collegian feels there is a new and urgent need for such a committee. Tonight's The Night Tonight* semester presidents will conduct the ;first class meeting of the semester. They will discuss Cabinet's work and plan events of interest to their particular classes and to the student body as a whole. They cannot do this without the aid of the students. Last semester four of the seven meetings were called off because not one student turned up to represent his class—except the presidents and secretaries. Students complain that they do not know what happens in Cabinet and that they do not have anything to say about what goes on. It is their privilege and responsibility to aid in running their government, and .they can do this only by ;Actual participation at their class meetings.—...kFß '"""Cornell and Penn 'State are reported to have the most beatitiful campuses in the East.

One of these is The Throttleman, named after Engineer Macy Bones, gallant railroader of the Be:le fonte Central, I believe. Another is the, Briefcase, monthly collection of erotic short stories and underfed jokes. The derivation of this name is obscure and lost in the twisted maze of old Col lege records. It stems, Casey told us, from a highly literary pub lication called Portfolio. Yet now. a third magazine rears its lugly bead and hisses at the poor old State student. You ask for the name? It has a name timeless as the stars, constant as the mountains, firm .as the Con stitution. Its name is Froth. Froth, the bubbles on your aca demic beer, the cream in your scholarly coffee, the arsenic in your pedantic old .lace—that's what is returning to campus, ris ing from the grave with the aid of a few skilled morticians This collection of tripe, blurted far and wide as "the only gen uine and ogicial Penn State tumor magazine," will be on the newsstands any time after the editors sober up. And speaking of editors and suchlike, we're bitter. The dirty . rabble-rousing, com munistic, throat-tutting, back stabbing bums have stolen half our gallant Collegian staff! (You, permnally, may think that this will improve the paper approxi mately 50 ;percent, but don't be so damn overconfident: we can still turn out the lousiest paper on campus if we put our minds to it.) But we're grind,ing Froth into the ground now, not ourselves, s 6 let me tell you [more about. the Penn Statements. Sorority girls were thrilled this week when they were called to the 'phone and asked by a Mr. Roger Hapsner to appear at the Nittany Lion Inn and State. College Hotel to have their pictures taken for a soft drink company beauty contest. The concern was out to elect "Miss Bottleneck of 1946." Excitedly, the lucky girls who were called rushed to keep their appointments only to find a few things missing— namely, you photographer. Oh girls, did you get taken in! Roger Hapsner was Jack Solomon, Pi Lambda Phi, who with his fra ternity brothers and the Alpha Chi Rhos, were merely .collabor ating on 'a little gag. - Change Your Ways We'•ve heard about a coed who went. over to the dispensary with a sore mouth and was informed she had trench mouth. The doctor gave her this bit of advice, "Bet ter change your saloon or your boyfrie,nd."

As he voiced his great sacrifice, a loud voice answered him over his shoulder, "That's just about your speed." "Yeah," our hero said - in a belligerent tone and turned around to see Lieutenant Taylor scowling. In . a weekly quiz; a Collegian candidate was asked to name the newspaper's staff.

Last semester I volunteered to lavestctate this prdblem. The in ve:itigation lasted ,about three weeks. Here are' . he results: 1. An interview with President Hetzel. 2.

There, we've men tioned them all and done it in one word. And that's enough for. the whole situation, too.

Stumped as to the rest' of the staff, he drew a picture of a tombstone and on it wrote, "To the memory which always leaves at times like these." Back to the Hills All-College Cabinet started off its first meeting with introduction of members, which proceeded smoothly until a certain point. Seems that serving on Cabinet are two old-timers, Charlie Hill and Ruth "Rusty" Hemler. "Hem ler and Hill" has .become a -by word in campus politics. Not an election goes -by, not a committee is appointed that the familiar words "Hemler and - aren't found on the roster.

A couple of the numbers to be waxed are "Left In the 'Ccrner /Where You Are," and the band's theme song, "Heart to Heart." Both songs were written by Lawrence and Bick Heichner, a Philadelphia tunesmitif. For music easy on the ears with a beat for dancing, Tommy Tucker's "Take Care" fills the bil!,. It's his newest and one of his ,best for a long time. Don Brown and The Three Two Timers take the vocal, and a subtone clarinet tarries the melody with a guitar fillbr. Turn the record over and you'll hear the same singers Tommy give out with "When the One You Tucker Love (Simply Won't Love. Back)." • o.s, Taking the classical vie\vpoint, there is a new selection on the market from the film "Love Story." at's./the late. Hubert Bath's "Cornish Rhapsody." Here is a successor to the popular "Warsaw Concerto." The distinguished English concert pianist, Harriet Co - hen, gives a sterling account of the "Rhapsody" with a fine back ground of the London' Symphony Orchestra: An other recording recently released is "Bolero" by Ravel, with Andre Kostelanetz conducting the Robin Hood Dell Orchestra. Bobby Sherwood and ork explode a bombshell of jazz in their recording of "Cottontail," full of fast horn solos and moving like an overnight express. On the reverse is "Snap Ypur Fingers." Ancither Sherwood special, "In the Dark," was written originally as a piano: solo by the late Bix Beiderbecke: Bobby plans to write full band arrangements of. other Bix compositions. Nat Cole, with. Thee King -Cole , Trio,' does a groovy waxing of "It Is Better,,To . Be by Your self," topped , by fine piano-guitar choruses. • Punch Lines By GEORGE SAMPLE During the last term of the All-College Cabinet; the question of flooding the tennis courts.for win- ter . ice skating was discussed. A-committee' was formed, a' chairman appointed and much time and work spent in trying to find out if. it could be accomplished. Finally the All-College Cabinet announced _that it was all right to flood the :courts and that it would be di - Me as soon as it was possible. Weeks went by, the -cold weather changed to warm and the courts were never flooded. Why it was.never done, no one knows. . The point is that it was.neV . .er done. Now the tennis season is here and there is a dif- ferent problem concerning the tennis courts. It isn't one of determining if the courts can but it is one of deteiming how-the courts-can lie handled so asrto take care of all those.students desiring to use them. • - During the week the, probe.m 'adjusts 'itself. Classes and other.activities take up enough time to insure that the courts will not be oveicrOwded. Crowded Weekends Over the weekend it is ari entirely 'different matter. Hundreds flock -to the courts. Not counting the varsity courts, there. are 112.-courts available for student.uSei- The largest glou'p the) . could possibly accommodate would be-48. - , Consequently-the greater number of , students seeking recreation. are sitting id!y waiting for a court to be free. Regulations have been-made and rules posted on the courts. The sad part of this story is that the rules are neither adhered-to or enforced. Two Rules - The gist of the rules is that the courts'may be used-for an hour-and they must be vacated at ..1.5 minutes past the hour. these two simple rules were obeyed the, situation, , while not perfect, would be alleviated to some extent. The problem is one, of al:owing the greatest number of persons to use -the courts at any . One time. It might be a good idea for someone to . bring this problem before the All-College Cabinet. They might even form -a -committee, appoint a chairman and spend much time and work in find= ing out whose 'responsibility it, is that the rules governing the tennis" courts are not enforced. If the persons elected to handle this problem. were .sincere in their .promises when they were campaigning, - they. might fo2low through with , enoUgh - •Ptl'sPnall?l l l4tiv•Ps q.P.,olaoutoll; 2 . bodYithat'the _rules: axe .sincere, who knows, it maY 'end up.jUStA5 114 X/d : ' jug „the. courts. did.. ,'Getting-inaw'here.. • TUESDAY, APRIL 16, 1946
