'Worth' to
Of Chapel
Rabbi Arthur J. Lelyveld, national director of the B’nai B’rith
Hillel Foundations, will speak at Chapel services on “How Shall
We Measure Worth?” at 11 a.m. tomorrow in Schwab Auditorium.
A native of New York, Rabbi

Israel' in Omaha, Neb. after re

Kappa.

During the War he served as

ig re-evaluated, Richards said,
ihy merely by acquiring the ]
The Windcrest area near Col
lege avenue, where trailers have
beeii removed, was selected for
the carnival site, Richards said.
The carnival •will be held Wed
nesday and Thursday nights of
Spring Week, May 10-13.
Only Feasible Location
He said this was the only , feas
ible location since the Department
of Physical Plant has prohibited
the use of the parking lot behind
Sigma Nu and Sigma Chi where
last year’s carnival was held.
The physical plant refused the
use of the area because of dam
age done last year to the shrub
bery near the parking lot.
In re-evaluating Spring Week
points, Richards said an attempt
is being made to establish a more
equal ratio between the point
value of the carnival and other
Spring Week events.
Carnival Points Decreased
As a result, the point value of
carnival tickets will be decreased
and the points awarded for other
events increased, he said.
Carnival tickets will be valued
at one-half a point instead of one
point as in the past, Richards said.
Parade points will be increased
from 50 to 100 points for each
entry. Four hundred points will
be awarded to parade winners in
stead of the 100 points given last
year, Richards said.
Re-evaluation Incomplete
The number of points to be
awarded for the He-Man contest,
the Miss Penn State contest, the
Mad-Hatters parade, and the Ug
ly Man contest have not yet been
determined. The re-evaluation will
be completed in about two weeks,
Richards said.
The points for the He-Man and
Miss Penn State contests will
probably be increased, Richards
said, but Mad Hatters parade
points may be decreased.
If Alpha Phi Omega, national
service fraternity, wished to
again sponsor the Ugly Man con
test as part of Spring Week, the
points awarded in the contest
will also be increased, Richards
said.

Cochran
Steps to
Lloyd S. Cochran, vice chairman of the National Interfraternity
Conference, last night outlined the steps whereby modern society
may prepare fpr opportunity when it comes.
Cochran, speaking at the fourth annual IFC Workshop Banquet
at the Nittany Lion Inn, told his audience the old axiom, “Oppor
tunity only knocks once,” no long
er applies.
“We are living today under a
different set of circumstances and
impelling motives then we did
years ago,” Cochran stated.
Certain Tenets Needed
There are certain things which
every fraternity man must live
by before the opportunity which
fraternities offer can be fully
realized, he said. These included
the basic tenets which guided our
forefathers
Cochran especially emphasized
thriftiness. “Many of the things
we enjoy are -due to our fore
fathers thriftiness,” Cochran said.
“Individuals as well as organiza
tions must learn the vital impor
tance of this old-fashioned but
vital tenet,” he said.
Applying the idea of thriftiness
to today’s fraternities, Cochran
pointed out that fraternities must

house finances if they are to be
successful.
Public Relations Important

relations, ‘ Cochran pointed out
that it is first necessary to do
something which is worthy of
being told.
In closing, Cochran stressed the
importance of living by our fore
fathers spiritual values, the ideals
exemplified in the lives of our
country’s founders and the ideals
expressed at fraternity initiations.
It is necessary for fraternities to
have a solid foundation of spirit
ualism if they are to take their
rightful place in the college com
munity, he stated. If we can put.
into our chapters . and national
organizations those things which
have made our country great, we
will be ready for opportunity
when it comes, he said.
