Unsigned editoiriabi yam wrilitea by dm Wile& Signs of Progress First signs of progress toward the accomplish ment of an election procedure which we think ' will strengthen the school student councils, were recently seen with the announcement that the i Schools of Education and Engineering will con duct council elections at the same time. In principle, student councils should be the keystone of student government. Since their com position assures representation of students of every curriculum, their influence can be of the grass -roots variety. Unfortunately, past experience has shown a disappointing lack of interest in, and knowledge about, the functions and worth of student councils. A contributory factor, we feel, has been the divided, and hence limited publicity about the council elections. This weakness has resulted in poor voting percentages, and failure to elect the most competent members, probably b e cause their interest has not been aroused. In an editorial, in Cabinet meetings and in pri vate conversations, we have urged the councils to stage joint elections. Mainly through the efforts of Milton Stone, president of the Engineering Student Council, two, and possibly four schools will elect council • members next week. It is to be hoped that the others will strive to follow suit in future years. Meanwhile, we recommend that Education and Engineering sophomores and juniors interested in working to better the academic conditions of , themselves and their fellow students, nominate themselves for positions on their council. The deadline is tomorrow.

Yes, men, I've found out why you can't get a date here at Penn State. DON'T TAKE THIS HOGWASH about a 4.53-1 ratio being the reason. If there were ten women to every man on the campus of this isolated institution of higher learning you still couldn't wangle a Saturday night tete-a-tete with anything whose puss wouldn't make Mitchum swear off. Let's not kid ourselves, fellows—most of us just haven't got what it takes. Don't take my word for it. Take the word of a man who's studied the situation. He's Willard Waller, noted psychologist and sociologist, who wrote an article back in 1937 entitled "The Dating and Rating Complex." THE COLLEGE WHERE HE made his study is not disclosed but just get a load of this description. "X College, a large state-supported school, is located in a small town at a considerable distance from larger urban areas. The school is the only industry of the community." I'd be willing to bet my last bottle of air-wick that conditions at "X College" are precisely the same as they are right here. And here are the conditions.

"belong to one of the better fraternities, be prominent in activities, have a copious supply of spending money, be well dressed, 'smooth' in manners and appearance, have a 'good line,' dance well, and have access to an automobile." See how easy it is. You don't have to own an automobile—just have access to it. Of course you can always descend to be a Class B, C, D, etc., male and take out corresponding females in those classes. Again the author doesn't specify what separates these classes, but we can assume that if your old man can't afford to send you up a C note every week, you've dropped out of Class A automatically. There it is, you virile creatures. That's why you can't make out. If you just have good looks, stop kidding yourself. You're doomed to womanless weekends. Even money alone isn't enough. You've got to possess ALL of the traits mentioned—that is if you don't want your date of the evening to suddenly pause to bay at the moon occasionally. IF YOU'VE GOT PLENTY of folding money, 15 or 20 suits, can tell a woman you love her 69 different ways, know how to do all the latest rhumba steps, and own a nifty 32-cylinder roadster, you can call one of the more attractive coeds on campus and ask her out some weekend. For the remaining 99.99 per cent of us there's not much hope. We can spend our Friday and Saturday nights playing parcheesi, telling dirty jokes, or seeing movies stag. If that doesn't satisfy your libido, there's only one possible solu tion. I understand "you can get it at Metzgers." Beautiful to See •• . when you get your hair done at the Hotel Beauty Salon.

Science Leaders Suggest Plan For Research Four research leaders from the College science faculty last night said a continuing program of fundamental research must be carried on in order to provide the material necessary to build the science structure if another na tional emergency arises. They were Dean George L. Haller of the School of Chemis try and Physics; Dr. Thomas B. Oakwood, associate professor of organic chemistry; Dr. R. Adams Dutcher, professor of agricultural biochemistry and chairman of the Council on Research; and Dr. Eric A. Walker, director of the Naval Ordnance Laboratory. They ap peared on a panel before the College chapter of the American Association of University Pro fessors, with Dr. Clarence R. Carpenter, professor of psychol ogy, directing the discussion. Referring to the practices of different nations in recruiting scientists during the last war, Dean Haller said that too often American scientists were drafted and placed in service which did not fully utikze their abilities.
