Who Belongs
Heard from time to time on campus is this
comment: “Someone in my dorm belongs to
that NSA” or, “A fellow in my botany class
is a member of the National Student Associa
tion.”
These remarks are evidence of a prevalent
misconception about the membership of
NSA—a misconception that the National
Student Association is an organization of
small branches or chapters on campuses and
that only a select few really "belong."
At Penn State, where the student govern
ment has ratified the NSA constitution and
membership dues have been paid, all the stu
dents are members of the Association and
share equally the opportunity to participate
in NSA-instituted programs.
IT'S NATURAL THAT in an organization
of such a large national membership a smaller
functional unit on each campus is necessary.
THE FUNCTIONAL UNIT of NSA at Penn
State, as at other colleges, is student govern
ment. However, All-College Cabinet—highest
unit of student government at the College—
has found it necessary to set up a committee
whose task is to familiarize students with NSA
activity and to study many projects suggest
ed by the nation-wide NSA and by Penn State
students.
This NSA committee should not be per
mitted to become a small clique of indi
viduals who try to be the sole participants
in all NSA projects at Penn Stale. Rather
the committee should constantly work, to
bring the entire campus NSA—the entire
student body—into the activities of the As
sociation.

a former home of the Delta Upsilon and Alpha Dell fraternities.
The YMCA acquired the house in order to get the lot for
their new modern haH, which is to be started in January. But
now the problem is to get the site; cleared quickly. There have

What They Deserve
TO THE EDITOR: The recent letters in the
Collegian concerning the import situation mere
ly substantiates whdt so many of us then stu
dents have maintained for such a long time con
cerning the Penn State coed. What do we main
tain? Primemost that the Penn State coed is
not the type girl that most men students would
want to escort to a major event such as the
recent dance; secondly, that the Pehn • > State
coed has no more personality than “the man in
the moon;” thirdly, that they pretend conceit
whep they have nothing to act conceited about,
and. last of all, they don’t know how to be
theinselves, meaning everything about them is
false and pretended.
We the undersigned, regard the recent im
port letter ds,a frank admittal on the coeds’ part
that they lack what is important in the form
of personality, poise, and good clean fun neces
sary to attract a man.

TO THE EDITOR: To enter into the batse
of the sekes at Perth State:
1. We are .two females. 1
2. We go to Whatever mixers we cap.
3. We return, any friendly gestures made
by men. , V
4. We'have'absolutely NO trouble with date
bids. In fact, we’re wondering. when we’re
ever going to get around to this 24-hour study
cycle that is expected of graduate students]
5. In the long run, we just about divvy up
~opr date-time with fraternity, and independent
men., We have no preference. We merely try
to bfe discreet in that we accept; dates with
those chpps who have our type personality
(whatever that . is).
6. 'We prefer spontaneous dates. We rarely
accept dates more than a few. days in advance
(Unless ifs for a special night). During the
war, Gl’s were in .no position to date in ad
vance, W|:cp?ne, from that school of thought.
Besides, dates for the same night can be ac
cepted or, decljned in order to fit the mOod.
More furi thatjway. .
7. Condolences to the date-less girls. Good
fpr the imports. And, a big HOORAH for the
men . . especially those men Who won’t
’take a date sight unseen.
