The recent decision of the _Panhellenic Coun cil to recommend to the Senate committee on -student affairs that no further sororities be permitted to organize local colonies at the Col lege has created some discussion both among •members of the Senate group and among stu dents interested in Panhel affairs. The plan has both good and bad points. The chief reason for ihe recommendation appears to prevent the formation of more sororities than there are women to fill them. ■ Penn State has apparently been termed good hunting ground by several national groups who are interested in forming local colonies here. These groups take women from their organizations in other schools, send them to a ■ college where they would like a colony formed and set them to work. After interest ing a number of new women, the group peti tions for a charter and receives it after a year's probationary period. Because of the housing shortage at Penn : State, these new groups are chartered with the •understanding that sorority suites will not be ..available to them. After the chartering, how ever, national headquarters often bombards the Dean of Women’s office with requests and de mands for meeting facilities. When the College replies that such facilities are not available, the national group often resorts to charges of dis crimination against the newly chartered organ ization. In addition to these troubles with the coloni zation program, there are other reasons behind Panhel’s request. There are now 20 full-fledged sororities on campus, with 157 vacancies at present. Considering the number of fraternities to the number of men at State, and then com paring these figures with those of the women, it would appear that the number of sororities has just about reached the saturation point. It is always bad to get the point where groups must fight each other for members. On the other hand, the prohibiting of the for mation of such new groups can be interpreted as undemocratic and discriminatory. If a group of women on campus feels that it has ideals and aims which are different from those of sororities already organized, these women should not be denied the opportunity to form a new. group. Of course, they must realize that ! REA & DERICK S. Allen St THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA suites' will not be available until new women’s dormitories are built. One solution : to the-problem might be_ a lengthening of the probationary period. With a two or three year wailing period, the effec tiveness of the national colonization program might be drastically cut down. It would seem improbable that* national groups, would be able to provide colonizers for such a length of time. At any rate, if the recommendation is passed, it should have a lime limit, attached. The Panhellenic Council has tackled a lough and touchy problem. Careful thought should be given before action one way or another is taken. Achievement Day - The School of Agriculture, which has often proven its homogeneity by the active participa tion its students take in Ag Hill’s special events, is undertaking another event .worthy of notice. This time it is the first Ag school honors day —Ag Hill Achievement Day— to be held in Schwab Auditorium at 7 p.m. tomorrow. The Ag school will be facing tough opposition in making its program a. success. Students just don’t seem to be interested in attending events in which other people receive awards. This was proven last spring at Honors Day. Among those to be honored at the Achieve ment Day program are the winners of the Guldin speaking contest, Mr. Agriculture of Penn State, recipients of agriculture scholar ships, and other Ag Hill leaders. The program will be open to all students, but it appears obvious that fhe ag students themselves will compose the chief part of Ihe audience. This program gives the aggies an opportunity to prove once more that they do take an interest in other things besides tractors, fertilizers, barns, and animals. They can present an excellent ex ample to be followed by students in all schools when the College Honors Day program comes along. (jftzcttc •• • % COLLEGIATE BUSINESS CANDIDATES. 7 p.m., 1 Carnegie.
