PAGE TWO
The Road Back
Campus hat societies, once an important part of college
life, are slowly trying to regain their lost position.
One important step was Skull and Bones' initiation of
the point system which gave a certain number of credits
for each activity in which the prospective member partici
pated. To date, however, Skull and Bones is the only society
to take even this step.
Another step on the road back was the formation of
Hat Societies Council consisting of the president and secre
tary-treasurer of each group. In the Fall, Hat Societies
Council invalidated one of its group's tapping because it was
not done according to its constitution. The charters of the
different societies were also found, in many cases, to be out
dated and in need of revision. The Council also ordered that
this be done this semester.
The hat societies could also benefit ftrom a plan that is
used on many other campuses. There the prospective mem
bers file applications to the societies listing their qualifica
tions. These qualifications are then checked and the soci
eties vote on the names on the list.
This system could well be adopted by the Penn State
hat societies and would accomplish several points. First,
men would be chosen who have an interest in the group,
who would work for the group, and are qualified for the
position. Second, it would eliminate much of the "politics"
that naturally occur when tapping is discussed. And finally,
such a system would eliminate much of the criticism that
stems from those who feel they should have been tapped.
At the present time, the jobs open to honor societies
are rather limited but when the freshmen return to campus
in the next few years there will be a need for strong or
ganization.—BlF

Hamer Explains
TO THE EDITOR—I wish to
make public my reason for re
signing as Senior Class Clique
Chairman of the State Party. In
resigning I wish to dispel any er
roneous opinion that may be cur
rent concerning my connections
with Students For Wallace and a
consequent possible linking of
this organization with the State
Party.
There never has been, nor will
there ever be, any connection be
tween my personal political opin
ions and my participation in
campus politics.
Certainly, I am a supporter of
Henry Wallace but I can't see how
or why this support has any ef
fect on the extent to which I par
ticipate in any other campus or
ganizations.
However, to dispel any false
rumors concerning myself and
the State Party Steering Com
mittee, I have submitted my re
signation.

that the reason we, the College
and the town, state, and the whole
North, received a blast from the
student newspaper of Texas A&M
is the unconversant way the Daily
Collegian and CORE is trying to
bring about racial equality here
in State College. When CORE's
program was first revealed it
sounded feasible and pleasing to
me, but now it appears to bring
more harm than good. Let us
work for a swift solution and try
to avoid publicity.
