Pitt Weekend: Good Time for Ugly Man Men are as ugly in the fall as in the spring. But Alpha Phi Omega, national service fra ternity which sponsors the annual Ugly Man Contest, does not seem to agree with this fact. On Monday the executive committee of the group turned down a suggestion from the Cen tennial Committee that the Ugly Man contest be held prior to the Pitt game. The contest was recommended to be dropped from its normal niche in Spring Week by the Student Encampment this year. This suggestion was made because it was felt that Spring Week was overcrowded with major events. Most students probably will agree that the Spring Week program has been overloaded. But the Ugly Man contest should be pre served. It is a national project of Alpha Phi Omega and is a major source of revenue for charity, usually the Campus Chest. When refusing the request of the Centennial Committee, Alpha Phi Omega representatives stated that to hold the contest in the fall would deprive their group of its major spring activity. That may be true, but the members of Alpha Phi Omega should remember that the primary function of their group is not to hold activities for the benefit of the members, but to sponsor events which will best serve the interests of the community. In performing the service, a major consider ation should be when the service will be of most value to the benefiting groups. Frosh Have Responsibility to Fraternities The Interfraternity Council rushing booklet, which will be issued to all freshman men some time next week, is designed to better acquaint the new students with the fraternity system at the University. If the freshman men will read carefully the contents of this booklet, it may serve to clear up many of the questions and misconceptions they may have about fraternity life. Fraternities are an integral part of the Uni versity community. They add much to the Uni versity's social and activities program. Whether freshmen intend to "go fraternity" or not, they should acquaint themselves with the function of the fraternities because of the important position these groups hold at the University. Freshmen will find that even if they remain independent many of their friends will belong to fraternities. As a result of this situation, the independent may find that a large portion of his social life is centered around fraternity functions. Safety Valve • • . Martyr Without a Cause TO THE EDITOR: After reading Miss Hudgins' revolutionary and inspiring editorial regarding her likes and dislikes in men's fashions, I rushed upstairs, gathered up my charcoal flannels and my plaid button-down shirt, and immediately look them out to the incinerator. Sure I did. As is the case with too many of Miss Hud gins' world-shaking editorials, I feel that this one, in particular, is as sincere as an under taker's get-well card. It is my opinion, and I'm certainly not alone, that an editorial in a student publication, such as our Collegian, should be written with a specific purpose. It doesn't take an exceptionally brilliant person to understand that this purpose should be di rectly related to the student welfare. My hat is off to a martyr with a good, solid, conscientious cause; however, nothing irks me more than a person being a martyr simply for the sake of being one. Referring again to the editoria' wholeheartedly recommend that Dye Lists Appointments To Lion Party Committee Lion party clique chairman Thomas Dye yesterday announced the appointments of 15 students to the campaign committee. Mar garet McCloskey, sophomore in eductaion from Philadelphia, was named chairman of the commit tee. Serving under her will be Joan Waugh, Nancy Ehler, Jane Mort, Ellen Mifflin, Diane White, Bar bara Will, Jane Heath, Barbara Dietrich, Mary Ellen Wilkins, Re becca Zahm, Elizabeth Waite, Do reen Hayward, Patricia Schoon maker, and Nancy Fluck. Collegian Business Staff The Daily Collegian business staff senior board will meet at 6:45 tonight in 111 Carnegie. Mg Batty Collegian Successor to THE FREE LANCE. est. HST i of Oct. 12, I Miss Hudgins Koropchak Wins Full Scholarship Nikolai Koropchak, sophomore in bacteriology from Waymart, has been selected by President Milton S. Eisenhower as the win ner of a complete University scholarship for the year. The scholarship, given by an anonymous donor, provides for full room and board and all fees for the year. It is the first such award ever given at the Univer sity. Koropchak has an All-Univer sity average of 3.66 under the new system, is a member of Phi Eta Sigma, freshman scholastic honorary, a member of Rod and Coccus club and is on the staff of the Penn State Farmer. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA We do not believe that the Ugly Man contest can be successful unless it is held in a week of major activity such as Spring Week. The days preceding other Big Weekends are already crowded with activity, and Ugly Man would be as out of place at those times as it would be in Spring Week. But an event such as Ugly Man held an nually before a big football weekend is a pos sibility as yet unexplored by campus pro moters . • Ugly Man would be an excellent means to stir up spirit for the Pitt game. The fact that Pitt is usually played away from home is not at all a deterring factor. The game is held about the same time each year and many students make the trip to Pittsburgh to see it. We see no reason why the winner of Ugly Man could not be announced before the game in Pitts burgh. But the most important thing for members of Alpha Phi Omega to remember is that a time for the contest must be chosen which will be most beneficial to the charities receiving the benefits. The days immediately preceding the Pitt game would be an excellent time to hold the contest, because student spirit is high for the game and a gay spirit prevails over campus. The members of Alpha Phi Omega should meet soon to overrule .the decision of their executive committee. Therefore. it -is important for the freshman or upperclass independent to realize that the ,fraternity is responsible for the conduct of all who participate in its functions, whether they be guest or rushee. In the past, fraternities have often been held accountable for the actions of students who were strange to the ways of the house and have made trouble either because they didn't rea lize the fraternity's responsibility or because they didn't care. Such ignorance or irresponsibility works an injustice upon the -fraternity system. Most fraternities will soon begin to rush freshmen in earnest: The student who is serious ly considering fraternity membership should make it a point to find out the obligations of fraternity membership. A careful reading of the IFC rushing booklet will reveal these obligations, and should serve to impress upon the minds of freshmen that fraternities are more than party places and deserve mature consideration.

Photo Editor On Assignment In the course of shooting pictures for The Daily Collegian for the past several years we have run across situations and incidents that have left a decided—and more than often humorous—impression upon us In the space of these several lines we would like to share some of these incidents about campus with our readers LOOKING AT CABINET: We went to our first cabinet meeting of the semester the other bight and left rather unimpressed. But what did impress us most was the relative lack of anything being done at all. Since every thing on the agenda was referred to this committee or that com mittee we feel it prudent to sug gest a committee to establish committees. Then everything would really be fouled up. F R 0 M - THE - SIDELINES - DEPT.: We have come to the con clusion that Rip Engle, during a football game, is one tense, excit ed person. He is as interesting to watch as any Lenny Moore touch down sprint. From the opening whistle Engle is on his toes. running from the spotter's phone to one of his assistants to the water bucket. But he gets results. Even when the Lions were routing Boston U. the other week, Engle was pacing up and down the field, shouting words of encouragement, and pulling his first team out and sending in the second. We're betting that he'll really be tense this weekend. JAZZ-IN-SCHWAB-DEPT.: We must admit that we aren't too much of a jazz fan. But after listening backstage to the Modern Jazz Quartet Saturday night we became quite impressed with the modern trend in music. Not any of this loud, blaring trumpet music; but cool, quiet improvisions on the vibraphone, drums, bass, and piano. During intermission several fans came backstage for auto graphs. One girl, whom we have seen backstage at more than one such concert, came full y pre pared. She walked right into the room where the musicians were resting, put an autograph book and pencil in each hand, and said: "OK, now write." Psychology Club The Psychology Club will meet at 8 tonight in the psychology laboratory to plan the year's pro gram, according to Lois Cowden, secretary. Club membership is not limited to psychology majors, but is open to all interested students. e THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1955 By RON WALKER Fleming Given Esso Award Blaine Fleming, freshman in poultry husbandry from Lamar, has been awarded the 1955 Esso Oil Scholarship for 4-H youths.

First alternate for the award is James B arr o n, freshman in agronomy from Slippery Roc k. Second alternate is Forster •Bill heimer, freshman from Drums. Police Forecast Parking Problem The borough police department has reminded area residents that all available parking facilities will be needed this weekend. The police department suggest ed that apartments and private homes having Homecoming visi tors should have off-street park ing facilities available. Borough police also said spe cial traffic regulations will be set up for the weekend. The co operation of all area residents will be needed to assure the safest driving with the least confusion, they said.
