Under the Hats . . . .
Androcles
Of Hat Societies
This is the'sixth in the series, "Under the Hats," about campus
hat societies and their activities.
Androcles, junior men's hat society, has the distinction of being
the youngest member sitting on, the Hat Society Council.
.
The organization, approved by the Senate on April 20, 1950, has
just entered its second year of life on campus.
Rose Eifert, Elliot Krane, Morton Snitzer, and Thomas Morgan,
students, were instrumental in founding the organization last year,
according to the new president,
Richard Rostmeyer.
The name for the society is
based on an Aesop's fable of a
slave, Androcles, who pulled a
thorn from the wounded paw of
a lion. Later they were, both cap
tured and when the slave was
thrown to the lion, the animal
remembered the former service
and began licking the hands of
Androcles. Both were pardoned
and freed
Fable Adapted
The hat society, the constitu
tion reads, was founded in the
spirit of service to the Lion, or
to Penn State.

emphasized grace and form; walking, twirling, and swirling on a
horizontal bar, and work on,
something similar to a gymnastic
horse. Two girls also demonstra

up opposite ramps.
Before leaving for State Col

the girls performed before the

Tensions Removed
Mrs.. Maja Carlquist, leader of
the group, told us her ideas about
gymnastics. "Everybody m u,s t
learn how to move in a free way
without, ' tension, because our
modern life has made us too
lazy. It is full of tension, and we
must learn once again how to
be graceful."
The system of gymnastics used
is the Ling system developed
with the principle of least pos
sible tension and greatest pos
