ing, according to Mrs. Jean H. Dubois, assistant to the Dean of Women in charge of Panhellenic affairs.

erton she will be there during post office hours to answer rushees’ questions on rushing.

Encampment
(Continued from page One)
dent positions were being com
pensated'out of proportion to the
work- which they required rand
should be reduced.
In order to assist in the growth
of University radio station WDFM,
te committee recommended that
organizations should make a con
scientious .effort to utilize the fa
cilities,of WDFM. The group also
asked the patience of the student
body while the station is in its
infancy along with the students’
cooperation in developing it. ;
With the aid .of faculty and
students, the committee felt that
the program of the College Coun
cils could be strengthened, and
that the results would, be -benefi
cial to University-wide student
government.
Should Abolish Secretariat
In order that the clerical work
which cabinet requires could be
carried out more efficiently, the
encampment group recommended
that the cabinet secretariat be
abolished. To compensate for this,
the committee suggested that a
secretarial staff be organized and
placed under the direction of the
All-University secretary-treasurer.
In addition, the group recom
mended that the NSA be made, a
special permanent. cabinet .com
mittee to be responsible .to the.
All-University president.'
Suggest Standing Committees’
In its final proposal, the com
mittee suggested that cabinet un
dertake executive functions, in
addition to its legislative powers,
in the form of standing commit
tees. These committees would'-be
chaired by cabinet members' and
would be composed of the chair
men of such sub-committees- ais
may be needed.
The group also suggested that
participants in the sub-commit
tees should be selected largely
but not exclusively from those
who have completed a course, in
leadership training.', It' was,. hot
the purpose of the group to pro
hibit cabinet from appointing spe
cial committees.

Dire Consequences
Meet Unwary Frosh
The scene is the campus bulletin board. On it is a large yellow
poster, offering harsh regulations and warning of dire consequences
for those who disobey them—all this printed in large red letters.
Sounds like a scene from “1984”, doesn’t it? But actually the
scene was the early 1910’s and the sign was a typical proclamation
that sophomore classes issued to the incoming frosh.
Any doubt about the strictness
of “old-fashioned” customs will
be destroyed by one glance at the
pictures in the Pattee Library. In
the hallway leading to the stairs
there are two window cases indi
cating the differences between
frosh customs in 1911 and those
of 1954. , '
The handbooks in those days
merely laid down a set of rules
to follow. Instead of the encour
agingly mellow greeting printed
in the handbooks today, freshmen
were greeted all over campus by
menacing posters that suggested
the sheer joy sophomores took in
hazing the underdog.
Windows Display Differences
Although the display windows
feature only such odds and ends
as freshman bibles, posters, and
a copy of the 1911 Penn State
Collegian, they offer many inter
esting conclusions about customs
then and now.
For example, present customs
will be over sometime during the
first two weeks of classes. In 1911
customs went on indefinitely
sometimes for the entire semester.
Today customs are not enforced
on weekends. Time was, says the
Penn State Collegian in. the win
dowcase, that on Sundays the sen
iors would leave Chapel first, then
juniors, sophomores, and lastly
the freshmen.
Welcoming Speeches vs. Twaddles
Today there are welcoming
speeches; .yesterday there were
welcoming paddles. The freshman
bible, in Section IV, article F, as
much as begs sophomores to en
force customs.
In the good old days the sopho
mores, smarting from the paddle
swats of the previous year, even
took practice swings with their
paddles in anticipation of the in
coming freshmen.
Nowadays when customs are
over, the new University student
is accepted on an equal basis with
the upperclassmen. In the time il
lustrated by the window display,
even the sophomores had some
restrictions, with the juniors and
seniors still exerting.-considerable

authority over both the freshmen
and the sophomores. j
Two unique examples which
hung over the heads of the frosh
and sophomores were the rules
that a student was nqt allowed
to wear school colors until late in
the sophomore year. And that
both freshmen' and sophomores
had to dress formally and wear
jackets to all major social func
tions.
And although the frosh them
selves were not permitted to
smoke, they had to have matches
handy for any and every sopho
more who wanted a light.
Frosh Did Hebei
One wonders if the freshmen
ever rebelled. Apparently they
did. One case of the show window
depicts the usual sophomore pro
clamation, and the other ' case
holds a reply by the freshmen.
The amusing part of the practice
is that the frosh “did not post
proclamations,” or at least were
not caught posting them, espe
cially when they referred to the
sophomores as “fourflushers.”
Indeed, the frosh did rebel in
1911, and they did groan under
customs even as the present frosh
will. But things are different now!
And to borrow a cliche, “Yon
never had it so good.”
