Know Nobodies
Nobody Knows?
Don't be a wheel—be a broken wheel. Here is your chance to be
recognized as a full-fledged, non-active nobody.
Sam Vaughan, editor of Froth, the College humor magazine, in
order to promote a more fervent interest in said magazine, has
announced the birth of a new hat society, originated and sponsored
by the Froth joint chiefs of staff.
The name of the new society
shall be the Broken Wheel Hat
society of the Pennsylvania State
College.
Unites Nonentities
The purpose of the society will
be to band together in strict al
legiance the nobodies, non-enti
ties, and. any person in general
who has managed to come through
several semesters of school living
without having accomplished any
thing; to have no meetings,
charge no dues, and hold no obli
gations; to not be represented on
Hat Societies Council; to be of
little or no service to anyone, to
uphold and maintain the proud
tradition of the nobodys, to foster
anonymousity, and to let its mem
bers alone.
Vaughn requests all fraternities,
sororities, and independent men
particularly to submit entries of
one person of whom they were
formerly- least proud.
Entries Contain
Entries should contain past
records of inactivities, all-college
average if sufficiently low, and
any other unmentionable qualifi
cations such as having tried out
for Players only to have been
sent away, having gone out for
football only to have been drop
ped after the first cutting, or
having run for an office only to
have been miserably defeated.
In Froth's October issue pic
tures will be run of Mr. and Miss
Nobody. These two will be the
only officers of the Broken Wheel
Hat Society, and will be chosen
on the basis of their lack of activi

ties, their undistinguished all
college averages, and their ability
to go along with a gag.
Two full pages in next month's
Froth will be devoted to the list
ing of names of campus nobodys
chosen for membership in the
Broken Wheel Hat Society. Hats
will also be given to the members.
Deadline for entries is Oct. 10,
Vaughan announced, and entries
should be mailed to Box 845,
State College, or handed to any
member of the Froth staff.

Peps Up House
Television has hit the Penn
State fraternity!
With the problem of the new,
temperate Saturday night coke I
party staring them in the face,
the members of Alpha Sigma Phi
believe they have found a sensi
ble alternative in the installation
of a television set.
The - 16-inch screen set was in
stalled yesterday, but with the
set came a new problem of what
effect it would have on the schol
arship standing of the house.
However the
fraternity, with
the aid of its °I. V
scholarship com
mittee, has set
up rules govern
'f7
ing its use. The
set will be turned -
on for one hour • t
only every night
in the week e
A

cept Friday an
Saturday.
The expense of setting up an
aerial was circumvented by the
fraternity through an agreement
with a neighbor whereby they
will pay him so much a month
for the use of his 70-foot antenna.
the committee on recruitment;
and Lila Cartright, chairman of
the committee on international
relationships made the trip.

Herbert Axford, has been named chairman for the Campus chest
drive, scheduled to begin Oct. 28, and last until Nov. 3.
The goal of the campaign is $14,000, and the new organization
has three purposes. First, the drive will emphasize the responsibility
of students and faculty towards the charities and organizations bene
fited by the funds.
Second, it will minimize the
duplicated efforts involved in
separate fund raising activities.
With this program, each student
will be asked to make only one
yearly contribution to the pro
jects included in the combined
drive.
Third, the drive will establish
a definite policy towards the op
eration of various fund drives on
the campus, and will provide an
