How many of you know the exact functions and
duties of the secretary-treasurer of each class? Or
their relationship to interclass finance and All-
College Cabinet?
Every election time the duties of the class offi
cers are explained but in a more or less general
manner. President and vice-president have always
been more clearly defined, however, than secre
tary-treasurer. That position has often been rele
gated to use as a political plum for a good party
worker.
Each secretary-treasurer is a member of Inter
class Finance Committee, with all-college secre
tary-treasurer acting as chairman. The committee
has two primary functions: to plan the annual
budget subject to the approval of Cabinet and the
Graduate Manager of Associated Student Activi
ties, and to receive and consider all requests for
student funds.
Each request is discussed, and if approved, then
reported to Cabinet. If disapproved, the matter is
dropped, unless brought before Cabinet by those
desiring the money.
When reported to Cabinet by Interclass Finance
with recommendations for acceptance, the request
is usually approved.
Approximately $30,000 to $35,000 is handled in
the Interclass Budget system. This money is de
rived from the 75c each student pays every semes
ter. The size of this sum necessitates that respon
sible, conscientious people be chosen to judge how
it should be expended.
It is time that the importance of this position
i 3 recognized, not only by campus politicoes, but,
particularly, by the student voters.

Yo-
Are hatmen on campus living up to their expectations? Are they
doing the job they are supposed to do or do hat societies just repre
sent another key dangling from someone's keychain?
Two of the main purposes of these societies is to promote loyalty
to the College and to give service to the College. It is evident that all
hatmen are loyal; an easy task indeed. They participate in and
organize pep rallies, they form a guard of honor for the football
team, etc., but their weakness is in lack of service.
Service to one's Alma Mater is a big task. It can not be taken
lightly. Much can be done in the way of service.
Commenting on the recent Michigan State football game a stu
dent from the East Lansing school wrote: "There is one thing no
excuse can be offered for, the inhospitality with which our team was
received at Penn State. Our team was forced to walk to their dressing
rooms (in Rec Hall) unescorted, with Biggie (Michigan State coach)
himself forcing a clearing through the crowd for our players, all the
while subjected to wise remarks from the crowd. People were con
stantly streaming thfough our dressing rooms during the half.
"Our coach had to bodily eject one person from the dressing
room. No tribute of any sort was paid to MSC during the half time
band exhibition. Our school paper, the State News, said in an editorial
that we hope to teach Penn State two lessons next year. One on the
gridiron and one in hospitality."
Many loyal Lion followers will have to find some truth in all
these accusations. The truth sometimes hurts but we definitely must
admit that much needs to be done to improve the present conditions.
The treatment of visiting athletes and their followers surely can
be bettered. Hatmen can do much to alleviate the existing setup.
Surely hatmen could clear a path for the team before the game
and at halftime so that the players can go directly from New Beaver
Field to their dressing rooms without having to fight through crowds.
Definitely they, or the campus patrol, should make a definite effort
to keep all unauthorized persons out of the dressing rooms.
Hatmen could also, in co-operation with the Blue Band, plan
halftime ceremonies honoring the visiting team as is the custom in
many other colleges and universities.
We surely wouldn't want our national athletic fame ruined by
OW inhospitality in treating visiting teams. For a better Penn State
let's be better hosts from now on. —George Vaduz

Hats and Hospitality
FRIDAY NOVEMBER 12 1'948
A Good Start
The first stage of a Penn State experiment—
flash card cheering—will end (successfully, we
think) tomorrow in the sophomore section of
Beaver Field.
Although the designs have not been executed
perfectly (nobody ever expected they would be),
their effectiveness has been surprising, and pro
phetic of more spectacular things to come in fu
ture years.
Some tips to the card wielders may help make
tomorrow's exhibit the most spectacular and color
ful of this inaugural season.
I—Each sophomore in the south half of section
K and the north half of section L, should ascertain
that his card and seat number are the same. If
the size of the crowd permits, no more than 11
persons, or one per seat, should sit in each row.
2—When the cheerleaders announce a card
stunt, find out which color is to be held up, by
comparing the number displayed with the code
numbers on the card.
3—Do not hold up the card, until the signal is
given, and then follow the cheerleaders for the
ensuing changes.
4—For most effective visibility, the cards should
be held parallel with the slope of the stands, with
the upper edge just below the eyes.
s—The cards will be used next year. Their re
placement is not only costly, but laborious.
During the coming winter, efforts will be under
taken to organize a permanent and stable flash
card rooting section. Emphasis will be given to
expansion, more and better stunts, additional
colors, and means of perfecting the execution of
stunts.
Many groups and individuals merit praise for
their hard work, which has resulted in such a
successful beginning to what may become a
widely-known Penn State tradition.
William Bonsall, head cheerleader, devised the
designs, and, ably assisted by the rest of the squad,
translated them from paper to the stands.
Women's honor societies contributed many hews
of lettering and gluing. Batmen distributed Su
cards prior to game-time.
Above all, the sophomores, without whose will
ing cooperation nothing would have been possi,
deserve our thanks and applause.
