fl 'AGE TWO
(Campus Cops
Many students and townspeople who stood in
line in the ldbby of Old Main anywhere from an
bour and a half to two hours for Community For
um 'tickets yesterday, were asking, "Where are
the Campus Cops," as line plungers broke
through again and again •during the long wait.
No campus cops were in sight as. the , Athletic
Association 'Windows opened at 9 aan., and those
pi; the head of the line which reached to the door
oof the west wing could do nothing as a group of
twenty or thirty people rushed into position at the
windows ahead of those who had been in line
ro.r an hour and a half.,
. .
(As long as no better arrangements for the
oistribution of tickets can be made than those
grow existing, it seems that the - least the College
(muldi 4d i cy would be to offer C.ampu,s Patrol .pro
tection to those who form the lines. Sprawling
)ines not only invite line-bucking and cordusion
r.,n the Old Main lobby, but they also create a fire
hazard since doors are blocked by the pressing
)iines. The !merest protection of even one partol
man would insure at least a semblance of order in
•Old Main.

Who Bungled?
TO THE EDITOR: Many of us are very curious
to 'learn why the barracks are not jammed to
overflowing. This year the College turned down
many fine students because there was no pla•2e
for them to live.
illowever, it seems there has been trouble fill
ing, up the dorms. The basis for this statement is
the rule prohibiting former G.l.'s to leat‘7e Pollock
Circle !unless a substitute is found.
With thousands of young people throughout
the country clamoring for higher education, with
students sleeping in ice skating rinks (Prince
ton) and gymnasiums (Union, Yale, e tc.) it seems
o shame to have to make regulations , in order to
keep the barracks full. What is the cause of this
faux pas? Who bungled?

Sandwich Shop and Dating
TO THE EDITOR: Two items of utmost impor
tance to students and student welfare have been
brought before the Independent Men's Association,
and we wish to express our opinion and welcome
any further comment pro or con from students or
administration.
First, the use 'of the Sandwich Shop in Old Main.
Before the war, the Sandwich Shop was used as
a center for relaxation and having a quick lunch
with a coke or maybe a cup of coffee. During the
war it was deemed advisable to use the facilities
fo r feeding the NtROTC while the ASTtP's were
using Mac Hall for their dining commons.
Now the war, is over and less coeds are on cam_
pus, but the Sandwich Shop_remains closed to the
mal e student body. The space is being used as a
dining commons for girls. We do not find any fault
with the idea of girls eating there, but we believe
that the facilities could be shared by male s tudents
and coeds alike.
During the summer the cafeteria was open to
the public and by all appearances was a tremen
dous success (thanks to Mis s Fall and her staff).
Why then is it not possible to have th e shop open
now when we haVe approximately five times the
number of students o n campus? Scarcity of food?
'Hardly, for the people are certainly eating some_
+where. Scarcity of help? Shouldn't. be if the wages
and working conditions are of a favorable nature.
What do we propose as an answer? Just this:
Open the cafeteria to the entire student body from
8:30 to , 11 a.m. and from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. and 7 to
9:45 p.m. (Friday and Saturday until midnight.)
On Friday and Saturday nights, dancing should
be permitted in the cafeteria. We believe that the
male students should be able to purdhase meal
tickets for the regular meals to be served i n . the
cafeteria. Certainly a person's sex should not de
termine the validity of purchasing a meal ticket in
a college dining commons. •We would also like to
suggest the possibility of Pollock Circle dining
'commons being ope n to any and all male students
+willing to buy a meal ticket. This would accomMo
;date the boys living in the eastern part of the
(borough. •
This plan may not be perfect, but we feel it
would 'be taking the first step. in providing
,some
for independent students. The reason We
say independent is because the fraternities are do
ing admirably in accommodating their members.
Second: Dating. in independent houses.
Is there 'enough 'demand far dating in indepen- .
dent houseS? 'Some requests have coma to the IMA
that we attempt to!secure dating privileged for the
Independent houses.*We are "attemptingto do so.
We have been to'd that the reason the indepen
dents hav e not been' given dating permission was
clue to the lack of proper facilities - and then sec
ondly that there was•no dating code for the inde- -
pendent students. Therefore we propose to follow
this procedure:
First we axe planning to set up a Dating Code
+hrouah the IndenendentStudent Couricil: 'second,
by 'asking all Independent. - houses 'organize into
units whereby they may be ~cognized. We *feel ,
certain the Administration' will not object to this
procedure.,
As for dating in Pollock Circle as wa s proposed
by s ome of the residents of the Circle. nothing has
been worked out to date. Thic will have to wait
until permanent officers are 'elected and the.n. we
Will 'be able to rro to the admi!vistration again and
try to get some favorable resul+F:.

Alumni Day-1946
Alumni 'Day da' wned • bright and
fair
O'er Penn State's Campus green
And by the score
Old Grads did pour
Upon the tranquil scene.
The day wore on--as all days do
Old friends shook hands again.
Reunion greAVs--
Old friends met new
With Bourbon, Scotch and Gin.
!Now Michigtin Stlite—our foot
Nall foe—
Rolled in by special train.
The cheering throng— .
0,000 strong—
Sang "welcome" in glad refrain
Oh yes we won otty Soccer game—
Cross Country—we won that too--
The fans did laugh—
For at the half—
Old Michigan State felt blue.
The Blue qßand played the V!c
tory song—
The score was' fourteen oh—
The whistle blew-- •
A sad note too—
They took out Larry Joe.
The game at last again did start—
Coach Baehman's Ooys did tgo—
And up did soar
Their lowly score
'Till Penn State's score was low.
Yes, 19, 16 was the score •
When the final whistle blew—
The Penn State fans
Slowly left the stands
Alumni• Day was through
Oh yes I know the night was
young
And parties had been planned,.
• But for old Dad
The day was sad—
His spirits all were jatmaned.
The victors quickly went their
/way—
Then silence reigned supreme—
As in their ,beei
Fans shed a tear—
And wished 'twere drearn
Yes, this was the fine Alumni Day
Which had been planned • so
gladly
at is. a shame
A football game
Could cause it to end so sadly.
There is a: less O n. we must learn—
Lekt we remain "a Sinner
mf twe should lose—
. Don't get the blues
We, can't always he a winner.
