The students of the College have already aided one campus "tradition" by taking part in the "enjoyment" of tearing down football goal posts in the fall. It .seems students have de cided to set aside each season as an excuse for destructive activities. Football season brings goal post raids and spring madness brings dorm raids. Perhaps some students can dream up a "harmless" stunt for the -winter season too. When they do, it will probably be something equally useless and damaging. These destructive activities of students throughout the •country have already brought about much criticism from the older genera tion. A few months ago Harvard contributed its bit, although at least less harmfully, by originating a "slapping contest." This game, 'as harmless as it is, brought the ax of criticism sharply down upon that college and upon college stu dents in general. Inez Robb, nationally known columnist for International News Service, pointed out, in a rather vitriolic way, that, the Harvard students were not being very respectful of their brothers in arms in Korea and elsewhere by using the time they were granted through Selective Ser vice tests to play at slapping games. In a column distributed by INS throughout the United States Miss Robb chopped violently against this college generation's inability to • recognize the breaks it was getting. Her solution was to em ploy UMT. Imagine what Miis Robb might say• about dorm raids. If a slapping contest brought such vituperative comments, what may this raSi of spring madness lower upon the heads of American - college students? Perhaps we should not consider / Miss Robb as typical of the older generation's. opinion of us, but we must recognize her ideas as repre- - sentative of a part of the group. At the least she can raise the dust of" non-activity from enough of her generation to breed contempt for college students. The Associated. Press has already referred to the students who took part in the dorm raids as "feverish young men" who were "baying, brawling panty raiders." Are these the same young men who were part of Time's silent generation just a few months ago? Perhaps college students could redeem themselves in the eyes of the country. and in their own eyes by learning to think. before they act. A little forethought on ,the ,part -of y „, any rational person would prevent him from ' taking part in any activity that would not only bring dishonor to him and his college _ but also cause unnecessary waste of -money that could be used to better avail. Why can't the silence of the generation,. if there must •be one, be a silence of forethought —of thinking before jumping?..Tsit necessary to wow the country's elders with -new and better tricks? Mass Buying Plan Will Work If Penn State will have. a large scale buying plan for fraternities If fraternities cooperate in.responding , to-a' survey currently being taken'among the frat ernities, and if enough are interested oio 'give , their full support to a program that -offers a , substantial savings in 'food budgets. The .p 1a n was proposed by the Fraternity - Management Association, a' committee set up by the Interfraternity Council: The committee investigated the, possibility of ; instituting. this, large scale buying at the- , College after it was shown by other .c olleges, and - universities throughout the country that such a plan could work. Perhaps the mo s t -outstanding -example showing that the plan will work is. Ohio State, where the program has been in successful operation for over 20 years. • The members of the FMA recently 'decided to set the program into motion thid fall: ' To assist in ordering foods • when- the plan -is functioning, questionnaires : •have been sent . ; to each fraternity house asking the types and -Tian tities of food consumed each month in the house. Accompanying this questionnaire is an Fianklin Kelly Business Mgr. —Marshall 0.

This is true.; be cause anything bought in :quantity is less. ex= 'pensive. It adds, that •credit eXpenses incurred • 'through the•carrying•nUactounis - an the part of the dealer will also be less, This is possible - • becausti the dealer will be called upon 'to make' up only' one bill for, the IFC. Members will then pay through that organization. Foods will' be ordered from 'the •wholesaler offering qii.ality foods at reasonable •prices. - It will be ordered through a purchasing committee on. which' each member house is eligible to place, one- member. :The -foods will be delivered every two weeks•by the,. dealer. • • A pilot ,plan was tried with •potatbei, and supporters of the "plansay that .results shoNVed that .the • fraternities could buy as a 'group and • make a substantial saving. Potatoes and canned goods will be the foods bought- for members under the 'new plan. After the plan is in operation and if .admin istrators see-that it is working well; the list 'of items wilr-be 'enlarged to include all types', of foods. • Results of the survey asking for types, quality, and forms of food now in use in the fraternities, will be used as a basis for ordering foods next fall when :the plan goes into effect. The Hoine Economics school will test and 'select foods, then suggest to the purchasing committee the best brands. Applicants will be required to pay a depqsit of $lOO on entering the program to guarantee payment to the dealer after goods are delivered. The money will be returned , or will serve as credit for the member fraternity. •i Until the the, is in full swing operation, administration and bookkeeping will be done on a voluntary basis by students, alumni; and faculty advisers. Later, a person will be hired full tine to• act as manager. After joining, members will not be required to buy through the association. But, savings will result .only if they do. •This is certainly a busy time of the year for everyone. But the fraternities should take the time to give the plan some serious thought and fill out the- survey form which will be of great service next fall to the members. This plan has worked successfully else where and it can work here.
