Free Movies
Mhe turnout at th e fre e movies at Schwab Audi
loautm this .pest weekend indicates that the move
ment stautod by the X-GI CAL is proving to be a
•oal boon to the econmoyAninded student, Hap
pily, we can report to these who did nct attend,
that •the latest offerings were a marked improve
inept over th e original features shown, Also, the
su , u!nd equipment is now being handled in a much
'Wore efficient manner.
At present, the costs of this entertainment are
being borne by the funds of the X-GI Club. How
ever, it is not feasibl e for any on e organization to
indefinitely sponsor these programs. We therefore
would like to suggest that all of the organizations
on .campus take the responsibility 'of aiding in the
presentation of these weekend shows. Th e actual
laslt.s of presenting thes e :movies are surprisingly
low, and if every organized group at Penn State
joined together in this mudh-Wanted venture, the
burden en each would be almost insignificant.
The initial start of this undertaking was made
by the X-.GI club; the continuation of this pro
gram will be determined by the cooperation re
ceived from every organization and every indi
vidual on this campus.
How can this be done? First, the individuals
:may assist by contributing small funds to respec
tive active groups on campus interested in spon
soring programs of this type; •second, by becom
ing active members in. these organizations.
Organizations can help by encouraging their
respective members to attend these movies and
it might be a good idea for different organizations
on campus to offer to sponsor the movies for one
week-end.
Some possible sponsors are the Independent
Student Council, Inter-Fraternity Council, Pan
Hellenic council, the Penn State Christian As
sociation, the American Veterans Committee,
Common Sense and many other organizations hav
ing large enough membership to.carry out a pro
gram of this type.
If we want programsof this type we must take
art active part in promoting the things we desire.

We Gotta Box
TO THE EDITOR: With the beginning of the
new year. the Suggestion Box committee has
gotten to work to produce a box which now is
on the Student Union Desk for a two-week
trial period.
When the article first appeared in Collegian
concerning the formation of such a committee
suggestions were left at the Student Union Desk.
even in the absence of a box. It is believed from
this indication that the project may prove to be
worth while.
All suggestions. comments, etc., will be re
ceived'by the committee, sorted, and sent to the
properpeople for action or consideration. The
committee does not guarantee satisfaction on all
points, but each will be given due consideration.
An attempt will be made to inform the signee,
if a name appears, and to report to the students
as a whole of worthy points. If the box proves
useful. a Method of. continuing it will be found.

Cabinet Report
Th e student-designed all-College flag submitted
to the College board of trustees at their last Meet_
ing was mit approved, according to a letter - from
President Ralph D. Hetzel read at the recent
meeting of All-Colleg e Cabinet. '
- IPresildenf Hetzel said that the board felt there
was no 'need for a new 'design, althoughthe design
suhtmitted might b e used for athletic pennants.
, Ilt Was decided that.th e flag comMittee, of which
Virginia lanuskey is dhairrnan, should consider
the matter further.
The Recreation Hall smoking problem was dis
cussed, and Daniel DiMarino, th e absence of
William Moore, reported that th e four coaches of
indoor sports; who had been asked to write letters
concerning the Matter, had not done so as yet.
The coaches will again be asked to write the let
ters, and. Cabinet will attempt to salve the prob
lem.
Several members of Cabinet questioned the ne
cessity of th e fifteen-cents maintenance fee being
charged at the tennis court skating rink, and it
was suggested that matriculation cards or athletic
bcoks be used for admission.instead. Dean Schott's
offic e had said that the principal reason for the
admission fee was to keep out the town young
sters.
A lette r from the Pollock Circle Council recom_
mending the improvement of acoustics in Schwab
Auditorium' was read. Dick Sarge reported 'that
George W. Ebert, superintendent of Grounds arid
Buildings, had been contacted ) and had said thfalt
th e twill lay in the
: construction of. the building,
and' that the aconsitics could-not b e improved
cut considerable modification of the structure.
iMary Lou Waygodd, WSGA representative, said
.that a Jtuclent-facullity sUb-eornmitte e . was working
on the problem and had suggested the Use of pan
els over th e windows to improve th e acoustics.
• Th e pre-medical honerary's request for funds to
finance lectures for -the pre-medical students aft
the College and for the College as a whol e was
discussed. It was suggested that the request be re
ferred to the Chemistry and Physics School to be
suibsidized from their own program.
Sheehan, reporting on the Student Welfare
Committee meeting, said that some proposed re_
visions in th e student regulations, now on the floor .
in the cc'nmiUtee, include:
(1) Proposal for th e regulation of the use bf
akoholic beverages in fraternity . houses, sinc e this
is in violation of the State Liquor Code; (2) pro
posal for regulationlof the entertainment of women
guests in fraternity houses (the proposed regula
tion would state that women guests might b e en
tertained only .at parties and "dances which afe .
properly chaperoned).
Serge suggested that Ciabinet sponsor an inter
fraternity and independent sing, Siandlar to the
ennulal Panhel Sing. At th e suggestion of 'Fritz
of the IF the matter was table 4
until it could be taken up in the' indiiiidnall grow*
concerned.,' • . . .
Putinier 'suggested two matters to be considered
at the nexit meeting of Oabinat. They were: a sug..
Ige!gtion by Hummel Pishlburn; head of the music
department, that a listening hicur be held. Sunday; -
'afternoons in Oarnegie Hall; a suggestion that the
telephone hootho in th e lobby of Old. Main. be made
free for loos .t.is --Joao. Peters
