No Dating Is Strict Rule
Of Happy Bachelor's Club
By LEWIS, STONE
(Ed. Note: This story concerns men only, it's true—Then why
does it appear on Women's Page? Well, what is a woman's main
interest? Thai's right—Men!
'Tway Sattirday night and all through the borough all the
•
men were out with their coeds bent on pleasure.
But, no, not all! A figure slumped dejectedly in a Corner
Room booth, muttering, "Saturday Night is the Loneliest
Night in the Week," into his double-rich chocolate malted.
The cause of 'his woe was a frat pin, which had reposed on a
shapely sweater less than 24
hours before.
Three dateless companions,
fraternity brothers who had also
felt the fickle finger of fate ad
ministered by a female, consoled
him, while befouling the atmos
phere with tale after sordid tale of
woman's perfidy.
Suddenly, an earth-shattering
idea was born. "Let's form a club,"
cried one of the valiants. Quick
assent tumbled from the mouths of
the others.
"What shall we call it?" Name
after name was brought up and
rejected from "Amalgamated Wo-
Haters of Nittany Valley" to
"Misogynists, Incorporated." Final
unanimous agreement was reached
tflor "The Happy Bachelors Club."
An election of officers produced
the following unanimous results:
Fronk . Sipe, president; Phillip
Zoeller, vice-president; Thomas
Botsford, secretary; and Frederick
Fovertz. treasurer. A historian was
later added when the society ex
panded.
The embryo organization's char
ter was drawn up and duly coun
tersigned by its officers on a Cor
ner Room doily, which is now en
shrined in the president's cham
bers. Rules are simple: no dating,
with a :fifty cent fine for each vio
lation
Deep sadness has prevailed
among the .members because of the
vice•president's forced departure
from school as a result of being
molested by too many women.
After a suitable period of mourn
ing for the late-departed, an elec
tion. will be held to fill the vacated)
post.
Prospective members are asked
to contact any of the officers at the
Sigma Phi Epsilon . house, an
nounces President Sipe. A raw
deal from one Or more 'coeds is.
the only qualification, but approval.
of all members is reauired.
"And. the' initiation is quite
rugged," murmured • Secretary.
Botsford. All the rest . shouted,
"Amen!" •

Slaphappy Couples
Jive, Sit On Floor
At 'Dungaree Drag'
By BETSY MARSHALL
Blue-jeahed coeds with plaid
shifted dates jammed Rec Hall
for the annual Cwen dance Satur
day night. The rolicking crowd
danced happily to the music of
Dick Berge's band. Vegetable
corsages hung low on the should
ers of many of the poor helpless
fellows and hungry beavers de=
voured many carrots and onions
before the evening was over.
Needless to say, vegetables fell
forgotten to the floor • and were
shoved quickly around the Hall
by the fast jitter-bugging feet.
. Not to be outdone was the fel
low who appeared with the sign
"This can happen to you." P.S.,
his date had a cardboard printed
"Success." One "You too can be
different" spirited lad on a straw
hat and a large pair of ears. Tired
couples observing the unusual ab
sence of chairs sprawled leisurely.
along the dance flpor and still
others made themselves comfort
able on the gym mats in the' back
—nothing like a formal dance to
make • everyone relax.
Highlight of the evening was
the .old fashioned cake-walk. It
was rumored that music for the
aff.air Was to 'lse "Turkey in the
Straw" but evidently. someone
missed his cue for as the dance
began the familiar strains of "An
chors Away" filled the air. The
winning couple, Greta Hughes
and Walter Selvig, each received
a chocolate cake.

man froth the "Engineer" !or

CO-edito
"He who eavesdrops hears no good of himself"... 4 and tile I)elt,
Sigs have learned by experience how true this 'is. It seems that the
brothers, at an informal party at the house . Saturday night, rigged
up a sort oof intercom system from the "Litt:e Roorn7,tnan up
stairs room. Singe their guests were unaware of the arrangement, the
results were very interesting, but who knows what repercussions
there, may be?
Alpha Zeta Revives
Alpha Zeta, agricult4ire frater
nity, is being reactivated, and a
ceremony is planned for June 8,
at which time the charter will be
restored. Officers for the revived
organization wil be: Bob Wilson,
president; Tom Church, vice
president; Robert Johnson, sec
cretary, and Robert Beecher,
treasurer.
The Tekes entertained the
ChiOs Sunday afternoon. and the
Delta Sigs have invited the AOPi
pledges out for dinner Thursday
night. It was Children's Day at
the AChiO suite Saturday after
noon when the coeds played hos
tess to the younger set, ages vary
ing from 4 to 8, from Woodycrest.
For Men Only
It seems strange to have
enough men on campus to make
practical a "stag weekend" such
as that of the Beta Sigs. From
Thursday to Sunday the house
was given over to the 120 alums
who returned for this® first
Alumni Weekend since the .war.
Actives took refuge wherever
they could find rooms, even -- re-'
sorting to vimiting rival frater
nities, but they didn't seem to
mind, for .they have been raised
on the slogan, "Remember East
er Sunday." This Motto dates
back to Pearl Harbor, at which
time the then active brothe . rs had
it. written into the Minutes that
there would be no future alumni
gatherings until the war was
over, and that the first Easter fol
lowing-the close of_ the war, there
would be an alumni banquet. Be
cause of- the Easter vacation, this
event had to be postponed until
Saturday night, but those who at
tended the dinner at the Brock
erhoff Hotel in Bellefonte, main
tain that "it was worth the wait."
And congratulations to Howie
Back who won the chapter's an
nual• fresh m an achievement
award. based on scholarship- and
activities.
