TUESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1948 the lAJomen By Frances Kmb«t Tonight and tomorrow night in dependent women will have the opportunity to elect their repre sentatives to Leonides’ (organ ization of independent women) Council. This year the independent wo men nave discarded their old or ganization and formed a new one which can be strong and influ ential, if its members work to that end. Independent women, have in past years been infected with the same disease as their brother independent men—apathy. Their girls were not closely organized nor did they serve their purpose of working for the interests of independents. New Club The independents, themselves, realized their laxness, and this semester drew up a new constitu tion for thbir new club, Leonides. As stated in their constitution "The purpose of the organization is to foster a closer relationship between independent women, in sure equal representation in stu dent government, and to provide better social and athletic oppor tunities.” The organizers of Leonides have worked hard to form a closely knit organization which wUI be truly representative of the independents. They cannot suc ceed in this attempt unless the independent women turn out to nominate and vote for officers who will give both time and effort to the functions of Leonides. Voting Important Not it necessary to el ect the best representatives to the Leonides* Council, but also that all- independent women partici pate in die voting. Take a lesson from the men, who showed prac tically no interest when their re presentatives were being elected to AIM Council. Through Leonides, independent women have a voice on All-Col lege cabinet which is another im portant reason for every inde pendent to enter into the activi ties of the group. It would be very embarrasing if the All-Col lege President would ask Leon ides’ representative for assistance on some project, and she would have to report that her organiza tion was too inactive to guaran tee any response. This should hever, and n&ed never happen, if all 700 independent womfen on campus take an interest in their organization. More Active So far thfs yea j\ Leonides has hdd social functions with inde pendent men, and for its own members. The organization en tered a booth in the Mortar Board Carnival. Its president, Clare Lefkoe has been very active on All-College cabinet. The inde pendent vjromen are beginning to get back op their feet, but will they stay there—it all depends on you, independent coed!! THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Four Persons Win Knitted Gifts at Weekend Bazaars Four persons hit a lucky week end in winning variQUs chance gifts of numerous bazaars spon sored mostly for charity purposes by campus and business sorori ties.

Joseph Reed, a senior in jour nalism and a member of Alpha Tau Omega, was the lucky win ner of Kappa Alpha Theta’s hand-knot men’s ski sweater. Burgess, who didn’t attend the bazaar, was immediately called when his name was drawn and hastened to the house to claim his prize, going so far as to wear it home.

AGR'sJKE's Believe Lightning Strikes Twice in Spot According to the old saying, “lightning never strikes twice in the same place,” but members of the Alpha Gamma Rho and Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternities are willing to throw that omen aside. On December 3, 1947, those two fraternities, along with Acacia and Chi Phi, were robbed of ap proximately $l4OO worth of mon T ey and valuables.- Early last Thursday morning, one day short of an exact year, the AGR ind TKE houses were the scenes of a $2OO burglary. Nearly $l5O of that total was stolen from the Teke house, while the remainder was taken from Alpha Gamma Rho. By this time, the brothers and pledges of the two houses are up in arms, and a reception commit tee will undoubtedly await the intruder, should he attempt the same trick neyt December.
