They probably had in mind the idea of attempting to build a class which would replace their old high school graduating class. As a result, at the beginning of the year the freshman class was a unit, working together. Its members were undoubtedly pleased when upperclassmen commented on the abundance of class spirit. Time went on. Freshman entered into ac tivities, made new friends, and in general, went separate ways. The class was forgotten, except for its use as a classification indicating the length of a student's past college career. Last month freshmen were called upon as .a crass when they were asked to sign up for the talent show they were to sponsor. Five days before tryouts only seven people had signed up. Eight finalists were to be chosen from these tryouts. Another example of disinterest is the fresh man dance to be held tonight. Of 66 freshmen girls who were asked about the dance, only 24 had heard of it and only two were planning to attend. There have been such things as class meetings in which these affairs were discussed, but almost no one attended them. Upperclassmen say it happens every year: But it does not have to happen. It still isn't too late to right a few wrongs. By attending the class dance this weekend freshmen could show that the class of 1957 still has some of the spirit it showed during the first few weeks of school. On Equality Equality for women apparently is not a dead issue. Contrary to the common belief, however, the line between proponents and opponents of equal opportunities for men and women does not seem to be drawn between the sexes. All-University ''Cabinet Thursday night re jected the appointment of a woman to Traffic Court. Those who favored rejection argued that a woman had never served on the court; that a court dealing, only with male violators should be composed strictly of men; and that a woman might be resented by other members of the court or by the defendants. Arguments on the other side were that the All-University constitution does not specify that court members must be men: that ability to rea son and make decisions should be the chief consideration in such an appointment; and that the court is set up as one of many cabinet committees on which both sexes may serve. During discussion of the motion for rejection the persons who argued most strongly in favor of approving the appointment were men. When the question came to vote some women cabinet members voted for rejection of the appointment and some men voted for approval An interesting situation Pershing Rifles Group To Attend Drell Meet Penn State's Pershing Rifles, Company 13-5, will go to Philadel phia for the annual regimental drill meet today at the University of Pennsylvania.

Thinking back a couple of years to when I was a member of the All- College elections committee and city editor of the Daily Collegian, it is not difficult for me to understand how an 'erroneous report of the election of the. Athletic Association sec retary-treasurer was Made. (This is a reference to a letter to the editor for erroneous reporting in several instances.) Rather, it is still a"source of wonderment to me . . how a " newspaper of the high quality of the Daily Collegian can be put out by people who also go to classes. The limited experience of the staff, word-of mouth contact all the way through, and limited facilities, plus the fact that the elections com mittee . . did not finish counting the ballots until ... the paper was ready to be put 'to bed" except for the election results, (are consider ations which make it) remarkable that there, were not more errors. I am sure that the person wrongly identified as the-victor in the election .. . was not emotion ally crushed by the error. . . Seeing the remark about the Daily Col legian's review of a Players' production was like seeing an old, annoying friend . . . Hardly a day went by when the Daily Col legian did not receive a letter from someone damning it because ".what students . . . have been working for months to build up" had been given a bad review. . . . The staff of the Daily Collegian works five nights a week through mealtimes, through study time and sometimes . .. through the night and part of the next morning. That , goes on, not just for a short period, but for the entire school year. Yet I can never recall an editorial pleading with students to take cognizance of this condition when reading the paper. Rather, the approval or disapproval of its readers has always been judged on the end result, not on the time expended in producing it. If an ac tivity group wishes praise for its work, let the end product be a good one. The appreciation will be automatic, from the Daily Collegian as well as the student body Gazette ..

Wore - the regu lation Bermuda shorts, knee-length socks, and white or blue blaFer. The Dean of Women's office ruled that. men in the controver sial shorts could not enter the wo men's dormitory lobbies, so the women had to call for the men. * * * If you're crying the blues abotit your finals save a little sympathy for Martin Hornung, sixth semes ter journalism, major. Hornung really hit the jackpot last Friday when the examination schedule came out. When he checked the schedule he found to his amazement he Was scheduled for six finals on June 1. "When I saw the first three I didn't feel too well," Hornung said, "but when. I saw four, five, and six it struck me as rather funny." According to Hornung th e scheduling •office got a big kick out of it too, and let him off the hook by allowing him to file all the tests as conflicts. Even so, Hornung probably qualifies as the most "shook up" student of the year. It looks as if panty raids at the University are at an end, to the cheers of many. The whole thing started' just before Easter vaca tion 1952. The following could have appeared. STATE COLLEGE, Pa., March 1952—Nearly 1000 male students invaded the major women's dorms in a full. scale Spring panty raid. Stories corning from the raid are both humorous and sad, and the fight was* not all one-sided. In some cases the women helped the men enter the dorms, and in oth ers, the men lost more than the women. Ask the male who got: ducked in a shower. Now: all the women's dormi tories • have an elaborate warning. setup. At the first sign of trouble; and there have been several,. all' the hostesses are notified. Then the coeds are told to pull their blinds and lock their doors, San Quentin style. STATE COLLEGE, Pa.—Physi.- cal plant workers on the Univer sity campus have spent several weeks spreading fertilizer and. planting grass seed, with special emphasis on the Old Main lawn.- Also, students have been parading across the new: grals, in spite of a keep-off-the-grass cainpaign, but. have yesPected only the Old Main lawn.
