WSGA Votes
'Miss Charlotte E. Ray, dean of
women, offered the following
sitlatement concerning the low
percentage of votes in the recent
Women's S tu d e nt Government
Association elections:
"Having been asked Why the
recent election of WSGIA officers
;brought such a small vote, II ven
ture a reply without •sufficient
struldent information to confirm
my views. .
"In: the first place, let it he
understood that voting is limited
to the three lower cllaoses, as
outgoing seniors have no part in
the elertinns. Then , there are cer

the voting is restricted to one
class; however, facts do not ex

of voting at the finals. Here is the
point at which Senate 'will wish
to add one more task next year:
a presentation through Collegian
of the education in citizensiilip
always given in the Senate of
'WS A. This will probably induce
a large proportion of women

the polls."

Perhaps your writer is a wee bit prejudiced, but the important
event of this weekend was the Collegian banquet. (Nothing conceited
here.) Anyway, the 'high point of the evening came with the 'appear
ance of Bud Mellot and a few others from the forthcoming Thespian
show. Our congratulations to the tricky little tap dancers in extremely
brief shorts who never even missed a step when• they glanced down at
the audience and beheld the gueSt of honor, President Hetzel, sitting
in the front row. And not that we
want to• extend free publicity or
anything, but if Bud and his
troupe are any indication of what
the Thespians are preparing, it's
gonna be good.
With The Greeks
Recent events in the world of
the Greeks, were a Phi Sigma
Kappa , hayride, a KD picnic at
Whipples' Daim and a Zeta picnic.
The last was scheduled d:or Hort
Woods, but since State College is
enjoying a cyclonic storm, (a la
Geogitlphy 24) the. coeds were
forced to picnic in a cozy lounge
in Ath. At least it was dry but
think of all the ants who missed
out. The Beta Sigs will serve tea
to the Phi Sig Gigs, the 'SDTs, and
the AEPhs tomorrow night.
There was much talk around
campus about the fact that Froth
was a day late with its first issue,
but the climax came when a little
boy scarcely tall enough to stick
his nose above the Student Union
counter carne in and asked, "Is
that new Magazine, 'Froth, out
yet?" And all this time we thought
that Froth was a magazine for
the BIG boys.

One of 'the local English profs

get there before any one beat him
to it. Imagine his surprise to find
that no one had taken the book
out since 1930. Dusty, wasn't it?

Women Start Revolution;
Make Out On Collegian
Remember? The good old days when women lust sat back and
looked pretty. A woman could not be the editor of Collegian. Why, she
couldn't even be on the Collegian staff.
Men finally realized the need for the feminine touch on S'eptem

women were eligible too.
In this minor revolution women were allowed to have a column of
their own, the first written by
