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

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.

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.

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.

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,
