Fraternity Pins
May Symbolize
Local Jail Bars
By SHIRLEY MUSGRAVE
A moon, a girl and boy, and a
fraternity pin. The boy offers the
pin to the girl. She accepts. Sim
ple, romantic, or is it? Buit just
a word of warning before you
take that bejeweled symbol of
Greek brotherhood.
Would you want it if you could
be hauled to jail for wearing it?
For, according to an enterprising
young law student, who has
poked about the Idaho state law
books, wearing the pin of a Greek
letter fraternity is a crime, a mis
demeanor no less. But do pins
have to be worn? It would look
lovely on your bulletin board.
Not romantic? But how roman
tic would you feel if you were
on 'the inside looking out of the
local . jail? Where would your ten
der thoughts be if you had to
hand over $2OO bail to get out of
the place?
For this same law states any
non-member of a fraternity who
wears its -pin shall be punished
by :imprisonment for 90 days or
a fine of $2OO, or both.
This world's in an awful state
when all a guy bas to do to get
rid of a girl is give her his phi.
Comes the big moment. She's
dewy-eyed. John hands it over
—then runs for the nearest police
man hollering she's criminal.
—Maybe he has something at
that!
But back to this word of warn
ing. Fall is here. And though any
time is pinning time, fall is THE
time. So before you knock your
self out reaching for that bit of
metal, just take a gander at the
Pennsylvania statute books.
Your Johnny would certainly
never have an ulterior motive?
But how do you know?

up the fresh morsel. It reminded
me of my days in the Nittany din
ing hall.
The subject of food reminds me
of the doggie roast that was held.
Although why the sight of some
of the roasted dogs should remind
me of food will probably remain
a mystery. One of the more dis
gustingly civilized members of
the encampment brought regular
roasting forks. The rest of us used
straightened clothes hangers.
TO those of us who burned
the paint off the hangers first,
there was little difference ex
cept for a matter of tidiness. To
those who prefer paint with
their hot dogs, that's fine. -
Burning hot dogs requires a tal
ent of sorts. There is a definite
knack to always being in the di
rection of the smoke while being
careful to leave the hot dog di
rectly in the flame "long enough
to scorch it beyond recognition.
A final word for those who may
attend next year's encampment,
be sure to prevent getting your
hot dogs Mixed with your grass
hoppers. The trout might com
plain.

Statistics Show Soldiers 'Satisfied
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22 (JP)—
My, my, how the Army must have
changed!
For the Adjutant General's of
fice has come up with a survey
which purports to show that to
day's soldier: (a) is satisfied with
his job; (b) thinks he is doing the
work for which he was trained;
and (c) believes his chores are
necessary.
The survey was made of 4000
enlisted men leaving the service.
And the 'answers may surprise
those who may, have felt the
Army could be divided into two
classes: the eager few who are
anxious to get ahead at all costs,
and the majority, who like to drag
their heels at all costs.
But the adjutant general's ques
tioners asked:
Women Enlist
in ROTC Unit"
At Rutgers U.
Who said it was a man's 'world?
Even ROTC is fast losing its mas
culinity to the pioneering college
coed.
Skirts actually invaded the
calm,.pipe-smoke filled air of one
of the nation's oldest men's •col
leges, Rutgers University, when
attractive 19-year-old Eve Winant
joined the gang and decided to
enroll in advanced AFROTC.
A junior home economics trans
fer from Gettysburg College, Miss
Winant went along with eight of
her scheming young friends and
enrolled in the school's two-year
basic ROTC course.
"Some girls took it just to get
out. of gym," she explained. But
not' Miss Winant. She yearned for
the technical excitement of aero
nautical classes (subjects like jet
engines), and her old fashioned
home economics curriculum hard
ly fit the bill.
However, Miss Winant, will not
get the full benefit of her new
education. Unlike. the 105 men
enrolled in the course, she will
not receive payment from the
government, nor does she get a
uniform. Only a certificate awaits
her at the end of the four-year
course.
Instead of receiving a commis
sion in the Air Force Reserve, she
has only the hope that her certifi
cate might get her a commission
in the Women's Air Force in the
event she decides the life of a
homemaker is not for her.
But her fellow students do not
have to extend too much sym
pathy to Miss Winant for her fem
inine disadvantages. The fellows
may get paid for their time, but
this clever female saves her arch
es. There's no marching for the
gals.
