TO. THE EDITOR: At the meeting of ithe Intenfra
ternity Council, February 11, it was decided that the
Interfrarternity Ball, the annual 'affair run by the
council, would rbe G no-icorsage dance.
The council felt that due to the great deal of
controversy arising from this issue, its decision
would aid in clearing the air. For that reason, a
motion was passed unanimously that the giving
of corsages would be done away with for the IF _
Ball, and that Collegian be notified accordingly.
The Iclouncil also wishes Ito point but that their de

This week the Veterans' Administration i s eon_
dueling is campaign f informatio n throughout the
country to get veterans 'to reinstate their lapsed
policies, which they can do without penalty or mu eh
trouble der themselves. . .
The percentage of lapse is les s than after the First
World War, whe n fewer than 10 percent kept their
policies, but it is far 100 great, and represents o loss
of one of the great benefits attadhed to war service
and the cheapest form 'of life insurance available,
since administrative costs are borne by the Govern
ment. •
We urge veterans 'to reconside r their action or in
action whidh is responsible for these lapses, which
they will live to regret greatly in years ahead when.

"How does a !poo r GI do it?" questioned the
woman staff writer. We'd like to know ourselves.
A member of the. University or Utah Chronicle
staff wrote a bitter editorial last week against the
necessity of a Lower Division. He berated the s'YG
tem because he, a liberal 'artist, had to lake un
necessary courses "the engineering school has
recognized that anyone who going to be :a good
engineer !doesn't . . . have to meet lower division
requirements."
Anti-Tobacco League Nate: the Wallpaper of
Berea College, Kentucky, reports a movement un
derway to alliow women to smoke in their dormi
itories. The men are watching rthe movement closely
to see if the women get the smoking privileges. If
they do, the men plan to iask for ithe same privileges.
Sounds like the men are letting•the women fight
their battles.
a social oustom that has grown to the proportion
that giving of corsages for large dances is considered
"miuSt" land add s 'greatly to the expense of going
to the dance.
Since the averag e ifraternity man is struggling to
meet Iconditions on - $65, the elimination of this added
expense u ill allow More men to gfo to ithe dance.

medical staff exchanging pleasantries, this despite
a long line Of people 'Waiting in the ante-room.
In the making of a better Penn State, surely one
of. the things that must b e done ril; to correct this
situation. The abCve cases are typioal of the inade
quacy in sheer neglect that we students must suffer.
As a Grade A school, we .are at least worthy of
Grade A medical service. I, propose that the time
has come for us rto wake up 'and demand that we get
good medical 'attention.
Wants Mr. Sorge to Bow .
TO THE EDITOR: The 'article entitled "Open
Spaces," I,vhidli 'appeared in Your s paper, was .nf great
interest to me, Mr. Sarge slhottld take a bow after
his noble suggestions. •
That one of the motel beautiful campuses in• the
world is ,going to become crowded arid Chittered
with• a. mess 'of temporary Wildings, _which may
prove to be more permanent than temporary, dis
hearteni me greatly.
To have the very space and beauty• about
which we Penn Staters boast denied..us will
greatly reduce one of the main elements of the
College's prestige.
.Surely, the old maxim, "Do not rob Peter to pay
Paul," applies to this sitnation. If the Penns3nlvlarda
State College is deprivedvf its heal*, which will
have to be , sacrificed if the temporary building
plans continue, generations tor Penn Staters for
many years to come will (safer.
I do not mean lo cry on anyone's shoulder.
It's just that the whole idea seems so absurd
when there is so very much space directly to the
West, North, and East of the campus, which
could be used quite advantageously for such
temporary projects in sight.
IT Isubli Qu 'space were used, tihe present
campus , would not Ue impaired, and everyon e wotdd
be (happy.
