Best Interests
Strange that 99 and 44/100ths of the student
body should be so reluctant to go out of their way
so little even for their own ultimate benefit, unless
immediate pleasure or gain are in evidence.
As a case in point, consider the school student
councils, which afford such enormous potentials
for academic and social improvement. So much
needs to be done to better curricula, instruction,
faculty-student relations, and many, many other
things.
So what happens? A handful of students win
council seats, practically by default. Some of them
are terrific, of course, and wage a splendid battle
against mountains of inertia and apathy.
Too many others are glory-seekers and key
collectors, worth nothing except as space-fillers
(frequently they don't even amount to that since
their sense of responsibility doesn't extend be
' yond seeing to it that their glories are suitably
recognized).
Of course everyone cannot be a council mem
ber; that's the reason for representation. That is
all the more reason for full participation in the
selection of members, to increase the chances of
'obtaining the most conscientious.
Today and tomorrow, the Schools of Education
and Engineering are conducting elections to their
Student Councils. Students in those schools should
reserve ten minutes to vote. Good representatives
are worth much more; poor ones are costly.
Learn to Dance
Here you are, gals and guys—your chance to
cash in on a rare and worthwhile opportunity!
Every Thursday, at 6:45 p.m. in the Armory,
Prof. Bert Kessel of the physical education depart
ment is conducting dancing classes with the as
sistance of students in the recreation curriculum.
These classes are held under the auspices of the
Penn State Christian Association at no cost to you.
Instruction is given to novices in all types of
dancing jitterbug, rhumba, fox trot all the
favorite modern dance steps. Mr. Kessel gives inti
mate personal attention to each pupil.
Professor Kessel, a faculty adviser to the CA, is
known for giving private lessons and instruction
at the local high school. His lessons, taught accord
ing to the Arthur Murray style, would cost from
4 to 5 dollars, but to you they are free! He has
voluntarily relinquished some of his free time be
cause he feels that our College needs some of this
wholesome type of recreation.
He is vitally interested in programs that will
increase recreational opportuniities for the Col
lege students.
Mr. Kessel needs your support! For six Thurs
day evenings, commencing March 3, he is leading
a recreational workshop for the establishment of
better College recreational facilities. This work
shop is open to all interested students. So come,
release some of that pent-up nervous energy, en
gage in a worthwhile pursuit! Don't forget the
dancing classes!

Recently a sophomore guy and his gal were driving west on
College avenue, as often is the case. When the guy approached
the intersection of Allen street and College avenue he accidentally
knocked over the "NO LEFT TURN" dummy which had recently
been erected in the middle of the street. An irate cop ran out and
exclaimed. "What the devil is the matter with you? Can't you see
that sign?" The guy said, "I'm very sorry, Officer, I mistook that
dummy for Chief Juba."
Loraine Stotler was walking through Engineering A after a
class the other day when she noticed four men coming toward her.
She was quite startled when one member of the group stretched
forth his arms and exclaimed, "Bless you, you're a woman!" What's
the matter, fella, never seen a woman in the Engineering buildings
before or is it that you just aren't satisfied with your part of the
quota?
Congratulations are in order for Lois Hyde, Nancy Ault, Betty
Mae Parkhurst, Pat Kinkead, June Kirschner and Weezie Cole
man. Seems one of the Windcrest husbands applied at the Em
ployment office for a girl to take care of his trailer and baby while
his wife, who was recently injured in an automobile accident,
was in the hospital. The girls heard about this man's predicament
and voluntarily went over for a couple of days to help him out
until his wife returned from the hospital. They did everything
from washing clothes to dusting and scrubbing--and had quite a
lot of fun tool
Peggy Howe has a penguin in her room. He's a mere four feet
tall and is dressed in his Sunday best. He hasn't much to say of late
about the nice, warm sunny weather State College has been having
but he doesn't appear to mind it too much. You see, he's made of
paper-mache and was created by Peggy for the recent Zeta Tau
Alpha dance at the Tau Kappa Epsilon house.
The independent men and women's organizations are going
to have quite a mixer at the TUB Sunday afternoon. Everyone is
invited, so let's see you there around 2 p.m.

TO THE EDITOR: The question has been raised
as to whether seniors graduating in June, 1949,
would be held for final examinations. This letter
is to point out that the Senate of the College under
date of November 7, 1946, voted that "The length
ening of the period assigned for final examina
tions would make it possible for graduating seniors
to be held for final examinations."
Final examinations were, therefore, scheduled
for seniors in June, 1947, June, 1948, and will
again be scheduled for graduating seniors in
June, 1949.
