iIr'.A.GE TWO Beyond the Veil of Old Mt. Nittany By Allan Ostar Two dormitories at the University of California v:hich were converted for childless marrtod stu donts have been closed due to lack of applicants. • Apparently California surpasses Penn State in Trtore than oranges and balmy breezes. Plans to beautify ,the campus at the irnivarsity 1 3 1 Miami include a V f -acre artificial lake, now under construction. Surrounding the lake will be a student union, soda shop, band shell, and dance * It's only a short walk to Whipple's Darn. At Syracuse University the concert band will :provide music for gymnastic meets. 0. Flow about the Blue Band preparing some Letters—From the Editor's Mailbox '.CO THE EDITOR: Over the period of time folloiv ing ,the class dances of this academic 'year there bas been voiced dissatisfaction in regard to over etowding, with ; its consequential discomforts. At the present time there is but one dance remaining, Senior Ball, and the purpose of this letter is to present the view that it should be a . closed affair. With a very large graduating class the financial Piecess of the dance is assured. By restricting the number of couples present yOu improve the possibility of those who are present having a pleasant time, rather than everyone being uncomfortable. Granted that the income would not be as great— the - fact -remains that the cost and a limited - profit would be made, and the fundamental purpose or rk - H . v . ing the Senior class would be accomplished. • Space does not allow for the numerous' points %. , /hich may be advanced to substantiate the view presented, nor is there any purpose in the signing of this letter by the many Seniors who support that impression. .Hence, I suggest that prior to any prepara tions for the dance, the officials of the Senior class call a class meeting to determine the attitude of the students on this matter. —Norman M.

The University of Indiana is expanding its tutor ing service for veterans to aid them in brushing up on their studies. • Judging from the number of veterans on re cent deans' lists, Penn State's ex-Gl's should initi ate a tutoring service for some of their less for tunate non-veteran schoolmates. Poor Meal Management TO THE EDITOR: ,Having written to the president of the College, we the wish to inform you and the student body of the poor meal man agment in the Pollock Circle Dining Hall: •After complaining for weeks to those immedi ately concerned and seeing nothing done to relieve those complaints, we now write those at the top in hopes that something concrete may be done. Our main objections center around the poor planning of the meals. When a meal is good there is not enough for each person to gei a sufficient portion. Often, what is considered a sufficient portion by the dietitian, is not considered enough by we who eat! If six or seven dietitians and mess managers cannot adequately plan a meal something must be radically wrong. We sincerely hope that the publication of this letter will bring a lasting improvement to our dining hall. .1-Topefully, —Signed by 32 Pollock Circle Men Corpus Pueliae Begonia Adornica TO THE EDITOR: It is not without relish and triumph that I submit the solution, together with certain comments 'tantamount to effective control, to the uroblem which has tied up the outstanding minds of Penn State for Many days: That of CORPUS PUEL•LAE BEGONIA ADORNICA? or to the non-Liberal Artist, the advisdbility of attaching corsages to coeds dur ing the mating season (Jan. 1 to Dec. 31). Why not specify a certain plot for the mass cul tivation- of sunflowers, which are a hardy Plant with .flowers eight inches in diameter? . A sunflower . would make a smart corsage if worn with due care, and it would possess ad, vantages not enjoyed under the now-anti quated methods of dispensing corsages stressed with baling wire. A definite amount of time would be saved by utilizing a single flower rather than waiting in line at florists' shops or stumbling around in the dark in the back yards of State College trying to distinguish blue blossoms from red the night be fore the big dance. Perhaps the greatest factor would he the ease of repi:oduction with the consequent sharp de crease in cost Since a sunflower is merely an orna mented seed cluster 'containing a large number of Seeds, it will readily be seen that any given flower should have at least a hundred offspring, granted, hospitable conditions,, within a short time. I wish to point out that the rapidity of growth constitutes a menace that could be theorized about and deplored 'by all of the in grained worry warts on 'the campus, providing them with ample grounds 'to write more indig nant letters 'than ever 'before. Also, a commission could be appointed by Cabi net to investigate the possibilities of exclusion of grass by sunflower encroachmenton the campus. A contest could be held to determine the best method of combating the situation and the best• articles received published 'in the Penn -State Engineer. • • Also, a blazing saffron sunflower on a Pennsyl vania Blue Nose blue could be adopted for a - flag. As will be seen, the possibilities of this thing are tremendous and limited only by the imagina tion and the amount • of editorial space the Daily Collegian is Willing to devote to the rehashing of a ridiculous question that is ultimately the con cern of the individual and not IFC, WSGA, Engk neering Council, the Florists, and the Junior Class. —D. B. Doan. Penn State Coeds TO THE EDITOR: A recent statement by Mr. Juba interested us very much. We are referring, spe cifically, .to Officer Juba's eloquent comments about Penn State's "beautiful co-eds." A great deal can be said concerning Penn State co-eds, but the discerning individual could scarcely be as opti mistic as Officer Juba was. What worries us is whether or not a man who has seen American Co-eds in such far away places as Piltsburqh will have any say in the selection of Penn State's representative. We've seen American Co-eds from Nlassachu• setts to Florida and 'from New York to California but we'd still not feel really qualified 'to select, Penn State's 'beauty. However, it does worry us to think that the' sdledting 'may 'be influenced by a 'than who might: be 'beiter'experieneed 'to judge the'form of a park ing meter. 2 Edittiiritibl ;,Flii fatturea 41 3 ,: t '4.0 1 % neal* 'opinicAts.iititlie)urriliir.

College Can Have Marine Unit-Cook "The College can have a Vol unteer Marine Reserve 'Unit h?re if enough people want it." Cap tain Edward Cook of the NROTC department said yesterday. "Anyone inteksted," he c6l - "should contact either First Sergeant Henry Marshall or 'myself, 203 Engineering E." EN-Marines, men or Women who enlist in the Marine Corps Re serve, Captain Cook said, do not lose any rights or privileges due them aq veterans. They enlist at the rank 'held at the time of sep aration. A reserve unit at the College, Captain Cook eentinued, would Derma those interested ih staying in the corns to accrue service which would count for pay pur poses when en active duty. Currently, all reserve and , tem porary officers, 'he said, are be ing. tendered permanent oommi s - sion in the 'Reserve 'at the high est rank satisfactorily 'held. EnliSted men, Captain Cook pointed out, ar,, not automatically assigned to the Reserve when dis charged and must enlist in order to become 'members. They may do this in the NROTC office in En gineering E. Fraternity Group Rates Penn Stale Second For Good Climate According to a poll recently taken of national fraternity exec utive Eecreteries, Penn State is rated second in the nation as hay_ ing "the most wholesome 'climate' for the development OE stilang fraternity chapters." This questionnaire, takien by the Nati , 0, , n a I Interfraternity Connell; queried 59 national of ficers, representing nearly all of, the 2,351 fraternity chapters in the United States and Canada rind. over 'a million fraternity men,. to arrive at their retinas. Of the 31 national officers that responded, 'l4 narned the Univer sity of Illinois, 12 Penn State, an& 9 Ohio State, 'as "institutions at which their fraternities and oth ers had' been - relatively most suc cessful in achieving the worthy pthposes in 'The Fraternity Cri teria'."
