about.
For lhe fresh lonighl's rally will be a new
experience and they may not know what
will be expected of them. This can bo summed
up in one sentence: They will bo expected to
• attend and to join in. Last year halmen and
women were in some instances compelled to
almost drag the frosh out for the rally, bodily.
That was one reason the customs program
lasted so long last year.
This year members of hat societies do not
plan to use force to pet anyone to attend the
rally, but the cooperation which is shown un
doubtedly will be remembered when the time
comes to decide when customs shall be lifted.
Frosh are* nearing the end of their first week
of wearing dress customs, and it seems only fair
to point out that thus far the custom's program
has worked smoothly.
Most frosh have entered into ihe program
willingly, with little or no bitterness. Reason
for tins might be traced to a better explana
tion of what customs represent by upperclass
counselors during Orientation Week.
Seniors who have seen the customs programs
of the past have noticed a decided increase in
cooperation among both freshman men and
women.
We are wondering if Ihe cooperation will
continue tonight and for that matter next
week, when the novelty of the first few days
will have worn off and the dinks, bows, and
signs become a proverbial pain in the neck.
Of course there have been violators. Some
freshmen have ignored customs completely, on
the hope that by doing so, they will pass for
upperclassmen.
Some mav get away with this ruse, but
speaking from a knowledge of Tribunal action
in past years, those who are apprehended will
have the added pain in the neck of carrying
sandwich signs to and from classes and perhaps
a few additional novelties besides.

... And at the Dance
The opening guns of this year’s Campus Chest
campaign will be sounded tonight with the first
musical notes of the 1952 “Kickoff Dance.” Fol
lowing a parade and what is hoped to be the
biggest Penn State rally in years, the dance
should provide a lot of fun and good music
for all attending.
But besides the fun, students can know they
are helping a worthy cause, in fact, many worthy
causes. The Campus Chest, which conducts a
year-long campaign, combines into one drive
campaigns for funds to go to the Salvation

Savings From FMA
Cannol Be Ignored
It t<nik ■'•lu.osi a year oi planning, but the
Fraternity Management Association (better
known as KM AI has tinally gotten underway.
The joint buying program was originally sug
gested by the Interfraternity Council and the
Association of Fraternity Counselors, and the
fi.'tern.ties’ interests in it are chiefly economic
ones.
At the present time. 15 of Penn Stalo’s 51
fraternities are participating in the program,
which should prove a sourco of qreat saving
for its members. Undoubtedly, once the other
groups sec the success of the plan. fhey. 100,
will want to join in.
Currently, the plan includes only canned
goods and potatoes, but as more fraternities
take part in the program ;t can be expanded
to include all types of food and supplies. Each
member fraternity has a representative on the
'ood purchasing committee which, with the aid
of the School of Home Economics, will select
and buy the products.
In these days of rising prices, every person
is interested in saving money. FMA provides
lhat opportunity for fraternities by making
possible large-scale buying from wholesalers.
With each new member in the program more
and more savings can be realized. If would
be well for lhe 36 non-pariicipafing fraterni
ties to give careful consideration to the bene
fits of FMA. The 18 per cent saving on canned
goods in a house food budget, which is pos
sible under the FMA plan, is nothing to be
laughed off casually.

"Oh. sh« has a pretty mouth all right, Worthal It's jus:
that most freshman girls are a little bashful on blind date*
Campus jl|(||
Capers S||9
By JULIE IBBOTSON fit;
Thanks to A 1 McChesney, head cheerleader, for making out the
complicated operation of our colorful flashcard section. Al, an
architecture major, spent the summer perfecting the diagrams on
reams of graph paper. (A lesser known advantage of the archi
tecture curriculum.) j
One junior was seen the other
day wearing his old freshman dink
and namecard. Claimed it was the
easiest way to become acquainted
with the cute new freshman girls.
This first week of classes was
almost as confused as a circus.
The only thing missing was a force
of student barkers at all entrances,
madly waving timetables for sale
and shouting, “You can’t tell a
class without a program.”
One freshman was overheard
asking a halman, "Where can I
buy one of those black hats?"
There's no disputing that the
black hats are more stylish—
they can be bent so many dif
ferent ways.
Remember when a Collegian
issue last spring referred to one
of the honoraries as a "hot" so
ciety? Typographical errors
can certainly liven up a page.
Why don’t sororities change the
name of the “coke date” in rush
ing? No coca-cola (or any other
refreshment) may be served, ac
cording to the Panhgllenic Rush
ing Code.
One suggested title used by
sororities at some other colleges is
a “cozy.” Another is a “howdy,”
sometimes used for campus
mixers.
It’s interesting to learn that the
FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 19, 1952
j largest group of students dropped
| at the end of the spring semester
| for ‘'poor scholarship” was in the
School of Liberal Arts. A total of
92 LA’s failed to make the grade.
In contrast the School of Phy
sical Education and Athletics
dropped only nine, and the School
of Home Economics 13. These im
pressive statistics no doubt prove
something, but we haven’t figured
out what.
Don’t forget the pep rally to
night'.
