Impressions-- (Continued from page four) warm. In others, heat lamps are used. This brought to mind the claim that you can tell campus squir rels from town squirrels because of these tunnels carrying steam lines. It seems the campus squir rels live in these tunnels and the heat keeps them healthy and their coats glossy throughout the cold winter. PERSONALITY— Today there are two. First is Arthur Schravesande, the newly elected freshman class president. He is currently causing much mental anguish around the offices of the Daily Collegian since his name is too long to fit com fortably in some of our 'standard major one-column headlines. Second is, Roy "Mooch" Wil liams. He is worth mentioning because he sleeps in class. We realize that everyone does this at one time or another, espe cially after a hard night staying up with ar sick course. But, few fall asleep at four in a one-hour class and wake up at six with the lights out and the - rest of the students gone:, . .

The Ball, sponsored by Chimes, junior women's hat society, was held Saturday night in the Temporary Union Building. Christmas/or Everyo Toy Collection Begins "Christmas for Everyone" and "Can you spare a broken toy for a needy girl or boy?" are the slogans that Kappa Sigma and Alpha Chi Omega will employ in their drive to collect broken and used toys for Christmas gifts. Ethel Beaver, county welfare secretary, will distribute the toys collected to - county orphans who have been placed in foster homes throughout the county on herd ---- monthly visits to each child. Broken toys will be repaired and used toys will be brightened up with paint if necessary. Even badly broken toys can be used for spare parts or turned over to someone who can fix them, Jerry. Donovan, chairman. of the drive, said. Members of Kappa Sigma and Alpha Chi Omega will solicit toys from their hometown stores as well as the local stores and the citizens of State College. Students who would like to help in this drive have been asked by Donovan to bring any toys they wish to donate and call Kap pa Sigma or Alpha Chi Omega aft e r Thanksgiving vacation. Members of the fraternity or the sorority will pick them up. The orphans who will receive the toys are those who cannot attend Christmas parties and will depend on the results of this drive for the most of the Christmas toys they will receive. Depending upon the success of this drive, it is possible that this broken toy drive may become an annual affair of Kappa Sigma and Alpha Chi Omega, Ruth Krone wetter, president of Alpha Chi Omega, said.

If you get scheduled for an en gineering class from a Professor Dunn whose class is forty miles from here, don't be dismayed. Recheck the directory and you will be even more confused, for there are two professor Dunns on the faculty and their first two names, as well as their last, are identical: William Arthur Dunn. One _is an instructor in engi neering mechanics. who joined the faculty last September. The other is professor at the Penn State Center in Altoona. Neither has met the other, al though their mail is often con fused. To complicate 'things even further, both Dunns teach engi neering mechanics.

Pugh St. Phone AD 8-8981 Panhel Will Vote • n Two Proposals Panhellenic Council will vote tonight on a proposed recommen dation that second semester freshman women with a 1.5 All-Uni versity average be allowed to rush. The council will also vote on a recommendation that the mem bership 'quota system for sororities be changed. The program of rushing second semester women with a 1.5 all- University average was suggested by the rushing revisions commit tee because it felt that most schol astic averages fall in the spring Panhellenic Council will meet at 6:30 tonight in the Delta Delia Delta suite, 20 McElwain hall. semester and a woman who had only a 1.0 average would find it difficult to be active in her sor ority. Under the present ruling a wo man is not permitted to rush until her sophomore year and she must have at least a 1.0 All-University average. 2 Formal Rushing Periods The suggested recommendation would, mean that formal rushing Would be held in the spring and informal rushing in the fall. It was the committee's opinion that freshman rushing could be presented to freshman women as a privilege given to outstanding women who had proved their cap abilities and in this way would encourage better scholarship. Proposed Flexible Quota The other recommendation was the installation of a flexible quota limitation system. A sorority prer sently is limited to 50 members. The suggested system would mean that every sorority, no mat ter how many of its members re turned in the fall, would be en titled to a certain number of new pledges, even if that number brought the chapter above the present limitation. For example, if the pledge quota were 15, and if a chapter had 40 girls returning, the sorority would still be allowed to pledge 15 girls, even though it would bring the membership to 55. However, if 30 members returned to school, the chapter would be allowed to pledge 20 girls, to bring the mem bership quota to 50. Both the limitation of members and the quota of pledges would be set by Panhel women registered for formal rushing. In this way the council would be able to adapt to changing conditions without re vision of the basic rushing policies, according to the committee report. The quota system was recom mended by National Panheilenic Council to permit a sorority that pledges and initiates a large chap ter to bring in annually enough new members for growth and de velopment. It will also allow smaller chapters to increase in size. The council will also hear opin ions of sororities on the separate housing proposals outlined last week.
