Thefts Increase
On Big Weekends
With another big weekend coming up, frat
ernity men would do well to take every pre
caution to prevent a wave of thefts which
marks almost each of these celebrations.
With fraternity houses open to all callers ,
during big weekends, the occasion provides
an opportunity for the amateur and profes
sional thieves to reap a harvest. They make
their way through the fraternities in an al
most methodical way, picking up suits of
clothing, golf clubs, watches, in one y and
almost anything which isn't chained or nailed
to the floor.
While these thefts are at their height during
big weekends, a good many fraternities face
the same problem—but on a smaller scale—
throughout the year. The dilemma is this: how
to maintain the open house tradition of Penn
State fraternities and at the same time put a
halt to the thefts?
A large part of the thieving is concentrated
along fraternity row on campus. The six cam
pus fraternities being right in the center of
social activity of the big weekends, cater to a
large part of the party-hopping crowd. And
they pay hard for their hospitality.
The losses by these six campus houses have
been well over $3OO on some weekends, while
the average in others has been estimatd at
between $lOO and $l5O a week. Some of these
houses have placed checkers on the doors in
an attempt to curb the thefts. One house has
moved its coat racks to the second floor in an
attempt to make it mo r e difficult for the
thieves to operate..
Regardless what steps are taken, the point
is that some caution should be exercised by
fraternities. It is virtually impossible for this
type of theft to be eliminated. Some sensible
precautions, however, can help cut down on
the losses.

Today is April Fool's Day, an old American
tradition. Today is the day for our practical .
joker friends to play games. We expect to find
shaving cream in our tooth paste, crumbs in
our bed, pepper in our pillow.
• We may even awake to find that the Daily
Collegian has been printed upside down or s
sideways, the masthead containing the name
of Joe Stalin, a headline disclosing fantastic
fraud in the College administration.
On any other day of the year we' would
write dirty notes to members of the staff
responsible for these acts. But should these
things happen in today's paper, we would be
forced to accept them in the spirit of the day.
We learn wisdom from - failure much more
than from success.—Smiles

Safety Valve—
Student 'Shocked' at Amateur
Goldfish Swallower at College
TO THE EDITOR: I was shocked when I
read the article "Gallant Galant Gleefully Gulps
Greek's Goldfish" in the March 25 Collegian.
This guy is a phony. I hope our fearless Mr.
Galant learns the correct technique of swal
lowing goldfish before he puts on another com
mand performance.
I belong to two national goldfish swallow
ing clubs, one at 100 Keswick road, Buffalo 21,
N.Y., and the other, which I joined last summer,
at 149th street and S. Western avenue, Los
Angeles; Calif.
Why do I say Galant is a phony?
1. Because a true Goldfish swallower never
takes money for doing the same. It is a sin
to do so.
2. Because according to the article he lifted
the fish to his mouth with his hands. This is
also against the rules of any , goldfish club.
3. Because he "consumed it along with a
glass of water." Goldfish are correctly placed
in a draught of beer and thus swallowed with
the goldfish trying to swim upstream.
That is why I say he is a phony. And what
LI this business of stripping down to the waist.
Big deal rah rah. I suppose his fraternity
brothers had a brass band playing for him also.
I only feel sorry for the goldfish being swal
lowed by such an amateur.
Senate Ruling Called 'lnane'
By Irate ' Collegian Reader
TO THE EDITOR: Of all the utterly inane
rulings committees are capable of promulgating,
the most noteworthy is the recent edict of the
Senate committee on athletics by ruling that
only Eastern titlists be entered in NCAA com
petition.
Yesterday's (March 25) Daily Collegian edi
torial and "Lion's Lair" quite lucidly illustrated
the shortcomings of the ruling. I, and others
of the students body, can merely echo that
protest.
We, as proud representatives of the Penn
sylvania State College, must not only plead,
we must demand justifiable recognition be
granted our teams in national competition.
The ruling is shallow and thoughtless, its
cause obscure and undefined.
If the move' is part of a program of de
emphasization of athletics, it is sheer hypocrisy.
If it is necessitated by an inadequacy of finan
cial support, it must be remedied, and if it is
merely hindsightedness on the part of the Sen
ate committee on athletics . .. it is truly tragiC.
The time is now!

Fundamental
Issues
The touchiest problem handed the Western diplomats by Russia
is Germany's unification. Two weeks ago the Soviet offered that
negotiation be started for, a, treaty to erect' a united and - armed
German nation. The. West was willing to,go along with the general
scheme of things but wanted more specific details on the preliminary
note.
Among the details, the We
supervised by a United Nations
commission. Russia has been
vague on this point. The West
also insisted that Germany be per
mitted to enter alliances for de
fense, while the Russian view
'holds that Germany should shy
away from alliances. It is felt
that, in particular, Russia has in
mind Germany's proposed en
trance in the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization forces under
General Eisenhower.
There were other points of
disagreement, but the W.e s t
showed interest in the Russian
note and hoped for further ne
gotiations. The U.S., Britain,
and France replied
_to the So
viet proposal in moderate tones.
Between the struggling powers
German interest reached a new
high. For the time being Konrad
Adenauer, chancelloi of West Ger-:
many, played a cautious role in

TUESDAY, APRIL 'l, IUDZ
By LEN KOLASINSKI
t wanted to have the elections
order to sound out members of
his cabinet and government. He
was still in favor of a western
alliance without rejecting the pos
sibility of a unified . Germany.
Other opinions asked for a united
Germany at all cost. A third idea
to find expression was that Ger
many be armed and then act as
a • neutral force in the balance• of
power struggle in Europe.
However, the next move is up
to the Soviet. Whether Russia will
allow free elections depends on
how the Kremlin leaders feel
-about the- possibility of winning
Germany over -to their side .at a
future date, if the communists
lose in • the election. Speculation
at this time sees the election of
a coalition government• not par
ticularly favorable to the. West,
but without any love for the So
viet.
