PAGE TWO ' BX Cooperation One of the best ways to learn the mechanics of student- government and what students are accomplishing through their organizations at Penn State is to sit in on a meeting of All- College Cabinet Here problems of the student body and parts thereof are batted to and fro. Ideas are born and many things done. Cabinet sessions also serve as a means for reporting to the students what different groups are accom plishing on campus. To cite an example of how one student idea became reality and to enlighten many stu dents further on operations of the Student Co-op or BX, we quote in part a recent verbal cabinet report given by Richard Schweiker, a member of the Co-op Board of Control: "... I SHALL BEGIN by saying a little about idealism. Perhaps the one big criticism of college students is they’re a little bit too hazy around the eyes, and to a large extent it may be true. Some of those ideals that we set up here at college will disappear as soon as we graduate. "Every once in a while we get a chance to bring an ideal down to reality. I don't know how many remember Emory Brown; he was the pusher behind the co-op or BX. It was he with a few others who started the idea and who overcame quite a bit of opposition. “It was just a glow in their e^es —they even graduated before it took any form. Last year under Lee Burns it came nearer to reality.' Now the BX has a room over in the TUB. "I SAY THIS is one of the ideals that.we can bring into reality as a service for the stu dents .... But we can’t go on all by . our selves with Brown pushing and the rest fol lowing; the present board can’t do it all alone. We need student help and participation . . . " . . . . At the end of each semester we refund anywhere from 15 to 20 per cent of student money. One of our problems is to let' the student know this. There are many means of communication—we feel it's up to you to carry this back to your respective organizations. We'd like you to push it for us .... " “This BX, of course, began as an ideal and through the works of Brown, Ed Walacavage, Burns and Ted Allen.' It’s now becoming a very hard physical fact .. . The .BX .. . has the fellows who are willing to fight. L and work for it. "... ALSO. YOU MAY or may not remem ber, but last year’s senior class gave us a shot in the arm by giving us a $2OOO gift. ' "... I wish to get across to you that we are working, but without your cooperation and from students in campus-wide groups, we can do nothing."

STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Gleaned From Prints ‘ The very riature and function of a college fraternity,-the fact that it is incorporated, and the fact that it is more like a hotel than a pri vate home provides sufficient legal fight for prohibition agents to raid such a building, was'the jist of a ruling clarified by'Centre Coun ty President Judge M. Ward Fleming, 20 years ago. Club houses of fraternal orders or social clubs have been, and are being, raided continually by prohibition officers, and since there is ho legal distinction between these organizations and college fra ternities, the latter can be raided and padlocked as well, the udge illucidaled. - * If any of these organizations are'raided and liquor is found in the possession of any member of the house, he continued, the officers are held responsible. . NOTE: In no case, to the knowledge of this writer, was a Penn State fraternity house padlocked for such a violation during this “dry” era. AS AN AID to aerial traffic, 20 years ago, the College painted “State College” in letters eighteen feet high on the roof of Rec Hall- Lettered'in chrome yellow on a black background, the marker' was expected to "have a wide visibility range and should prove a boon to aircraft pilots." according to aviation experts of the lime. “Situated between the seven mountains and the Allegheny range, the sign is in a strategic position to guide planes flying the hazardous mail routes over this region,” it was reported. In establishing this laindmark the ; College cooperated with the State Aeronautics Commission and the Daniel Guggenheim committee for the promotion of aeronautics. Approximately 1,500 undergraduates and alumni, crowding around a bonfire on Co-op corner Friday night, 15 years ago, offered riotour resistance against the efforts of the local and Sljate constabulary of ficers who fought fo keep students from piling wood on the flames. The State constabulary, called from Rockview on orders from Burgess Wilbur F. Leilzell, attempted to take a student into cus tody and wfre, strongly resisted by the mob, which. finally freed the student—after a battle royal. A high point in the fracas was reached when students, carrying a large section of a shed roof, rushed toward the fire in an attempt to throw it- on the blaze. The roof finally broke under the stress of con flict and dropped into the fire. One student was knocked unconscious when struck by the roof as it fell. Some ?5 students arid alumni spent a night in the' looal lock-up for their part in this far-in-the-past caper. Exchange News and Views Have You Seen Her? In Fort Worth, Teixas, police got this description of a woman suspected of passing bogus checks: “She wore a low-cut, dress and a short dress, making it very; hard to gain description of her facial features.” ' ' Worldly-wise Or Otherwise? There isn’t anything as boring as a college senior. Un like young and innocent freshmen, who gape wide-eyed and silent ly at the college scene, seniors have become so worldly-wise that they’re almost impossible to live with. —Temple Univers: Exploration By AL RYAN 20 YEARS AGO * * * 15 YEARS AGO 24- HOUR SERVICE on all KODAK WORK "PACCLARGER" JUMBO PRINTS AT NO EXTRA COST DIBS PHOTO FINISHING 212 E.

They haven’t got dates for a big week end. That is a crying shame. These same co-eds are probably the very ones who demand to be called two weeks in advance for a date. They are probably the same co-eds who labor under the misguided impression that there is something that sets them apart from the rest of the women in the world. As far as I can see the only thing that sets them apart from any other women is their over-developed egos. . - If the poor wretched, dateless co-eds would examine the situation they would discover that the fault lies with them. No' man would want to bring an import, incurring extra expense, if he could find a co-ed who compared favorably with the girl from home. Rather than haye a special importless weekend I would like to sug §est that a large sized crying towel (Joe Be enk’s) be placed in each dorm. , . ■ —"Simon Legree** • Name Withheld Unavailable TO THE EDITOR: We are.writing in reply to a letter in Saturday’s paper about the girls who did not have ddtes for housdparty weekend. These girls feel that someone is being very un fair to them because they have not all been ask r ed to parties. The plain fact of the matter is that the ftiajorityof the girls make themselves so un available that it isn’t even>funny! If by some freak of chance, a boy does meet a girl and does call her lip, she is either too busy to go out, dr he . called too late. Saturday night, for example, there was a dance at White Hall for inde pendents who did not have a houseparty to go to. The boys were there; but where were the girls? They were probably in their rooms com posing letters to the editor about the lack of men. •" ' If. the sentiments expressed in that letter are those of an “overwhelming majority” as sug gested, you girls had better find out some things. We believe that this letter expresses the feeling of a bjgger “overwhelming majority” than you girls could ever have. —Some Men In Dormitory 32 • Names Withheld Gazette.... Wednesday.
