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."

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. 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.

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.

Deeply Touched
TO THE EDITOR: I was touched very deeply
by the unfortunate plight of our poor unhappy
co-eds. 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.

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.
