The societies are Skull and Bones and Parmi Nous, senior men's societies; Blue Key and Androcles, junior men's societies; and Druids, sophomore men's society. The men tapped for these societies have been carefully selected by screening boards of the societies; they are the chosen ones, the so-called "cream of the crop." With all that talent, a natuxal observation would indicate that the hat societies serve the University many, a useful purpose. This is not the case. Granted, the organizations do a commendable job at the beginning of each academic year with the handling of customs and counselors' meet ings, but that is as far as it goes. The rest of the year the societies go through a period of so much wasted motion. This situation should not be allowed to exist year after year. But what is to be done? Since the societies have a complete member ship turnover each year, the problem rests en tirely with the incoming members.. New mem bers face no holdover obstacles that would hin der their progress. They enter the societies with an open road. Yet the societies fall into the same yearly rut. Perhaps if societies would step back and look Ag Hill's Dairy Exposition Merits Support Big things are doing up on Ag Hill this week. Visitors to the University barns see students working long hours meticuously combing, trim ming, and training cows. What's going on? The answer is, of course, that Saturday the Dairy Science Club will hold its annual Dairy Exposition at the livestock pavilion. Many students have long been awaiting this day. Back on March 18 the 60 entries in the' ex position drew lots for animals to show and ever since then they have been putting in long end less hours in preparation for the show. This week is the week when last minute prep arations are taking place, but the average con testant has been working about eight hours a week on his animal for the past six weeks. The animals will be judged on their response to commands and their general cleanliness and fitness.

Business Mgr. at their place on campus and then look at the place they could hold, the problem would rectify itself. As individuals society members are the student leaders at the University. They are looked up to, their opinions are respected. But as a chartered group when all knowledge and wisdom should be assimilated for the best end result, it fails more times than not. Perhaps if members of the societies stopped playing "Big Man on Campus" and started to strive honestly for a better Penn State, the situ ation would noticeably improve. As it stands now men work hard to gain points for hat socie ties, but then sit back 'and rest on past honors while their talent goes to waste. The potential 'that is present in each new group that joins a society is enormous. The so cieties are loaded with top calibre material. But until that potential is fully. developed and pooled into a smoothly functioning organization, it is wasted. With ambitious leadership, the societies could develop. this potential and become the type of organizations they should be. With the fresh outlook that ris present with each new group there is no reason a society with real intentions of bettering the University could not reach that goal. It is something to strive for. —George Bairey • serious competition, however. A coed milking contest and a comedy act have also been sched uled to enliven the proceedings. The milking contest will be held in two divis ions. One section will 'provide competition for those coeds with no milking experience and another for the "experienced milkmaids" of the campus. The quality of the exposition is best exempli fied, however, by the number of outside visitors it draws to the campus. Many high school teachers will bring their students to the campus Saturday for the express purpose of visiting the exposition and the open house which will precede it. Other outside groups have also recognized the worth of the show by donating prizes for the winner in the various classes and breeds to be judged. The exposition has elements of interest to everyone. If so many outside groups can show such a strong interest in the show then certain ly it deserves strong student backing. —Mike Miller PERSHING RIFLES, 7 p.m., Armory PLAYERS ADVERTISING WORKSHOP, 7 p.m., Schwab Auditorium loft RADIO GUILD MEETING, 8 p.m., 312 Sparks , TOWN COUNCIL, 7:30 p.m., 106 Willard INFIRMARY Richard Blank, Brainerd Daniels, Howard Downing, Isaac Evans, Harry Fuehrer, Thomas Glenn, Richard Hacherl.

Man on Campus Little How's about delivering your• speech at the level of th' college reshman, Senator?, 'then perhaps some of th' professors would njoy it." Hear, Hear, • . of all things . I don't listen to radio very much these days, and I manage to avoid television with happy regularity. But the other day, due to circumstances in no way under my control, I happened to be ex posed to a late disc jockey show_ emanating from WMAJ. (A radio station which, if it can be believed, broadcasts from both Bellefonte and State College at the same time—a notable feat.) Groovology 54 is the show. It features popular music excuse me, popular tunes—and small talk from a man who chooses to call himself the "Old Prof." The 'talk, as I said, is small and sometimes it is smaller than other times. But it is always very much audible. A bit too much, I might add. To the old prof, students r e a 1 people, it appears —send postal cards requesting certain tunes be played, dedicated to other presum ably real people. That is the way man woos woman-. in 1954, and considering the fact that the University turns off tele phoning at . 10 p:m., I suppose it is a method. You see, it is a singular honor for a coed to have a tune re quested by a male companion.' I haven't taken many sociology. courses: I can't explain why. The old prof is just too glad to oblige in this romantic undertak ing. He reads the postal card aloud —on the air—and then obligingly plays the song—spins the platter. That is,_ generally he spins the platter. Sometimes—roughly 36.4 per cent of the time—the platter, alas, cannot be found. I don't know why, but they have a terrible time keeping track of their platters around WMAJ. Often it's all for the better. Strikes me that the librarian around WMAJ must be a rather sloppy individual to misplace all these records. Maybe, though, he has musical taste and, quite under standably, hides a great many of the records. At any rate, a substitution is made and the old prof somewhat apologetically spins "You've Got Three Eyes But I'm Indiscrtrni nate" in place of "When We Grow Old Let's Pool Our Social Security." It all turns out okay; the sentiment, you see, is the same. The small talk and music are broken more than occasionally by commercials. These are aimed=--or: By MIKE FEINSILBER hurled—at the students. They come, apparently, at the rate of about one every 30 seconds. They should be making WMAJ very prosperous indeed, and I wouldn't be, surprised if it should one of these days emanate from Millheim as well as from State College and Bellefonte. The persons who write commer cials for WMAJ no doubt are avid believers in the theory that if you find something good, stick to it. The commercials, if not gobd, are stuck to with faithful regularity. The listener can become friendly with the old things and hum along as they are spieled if he likes. Round about midnight the last platter is spun, someone comes on with the news, and its all wrapped up neatly with a little ceremony. Someone told me that WDFM, the campus radio station, also spins disks. Could be. Anybody else hear this? Anybody .hear WDFM? Council Alters Selection Plan The Agriculture Student Coun cil has changed the method of apportioning representatives to council.
