None can be retold without Real Brotherhood One bright spot shone forth in the midst of the tragic flames which gutted the Delta Sigma Phi house Sunday morning and after noon. That was the unselfish helping hand ex tended to the Della Sigs by their neighbors, both townspeople and fraternity men. Within minutes after the discovery of the fire the Delta Sigs were provided facilities to store their salvaged furniture and belongings. Fraternities provided them with meals and a place to meet to discuss their plight. Offers of temporary accommodations poured in from every fraternity on campus. Members of the University administration and town officials .gave up their entire day to help the Delta Sigs get straightened away. Long after the fire was extinguished volun teer members of the Alpha Fire Company, who fought long and hard to save the house, re mained to help with clean up operations. The list of individual assistance extended to Delta Sigma Phi is almost endless. All were ready and eager to help in any way possible. The fraternity system, townspeople, and the entire University can draw pride from their performance on Sunday. The aid extended to Delta Sigma Phi was a real expression of brotherhood from all the members of the com munity. Asks Investigation TO THE EDITOR: At Sunday’s Campus Party clique meeting student government suffered an undeserved blow. There were people pres ent at that meeting who put personal interests and gain above the interests and gain of Cam pus party, student government, and Penn State. 5 Collegian Staffs Will Meet Tonight Five Daily Collegian staffs will meet tonight.

The other night we decided to take in. the great white way of College Avenue in State College and probably do some gift shopping on the side. We wandered into one of the town’s better men’s stores and found ourselves waiting behind a coed who was trying to make a purchase for her boy friend. The conversation we picked up went something like this “Have you got something in a long-sleeved sweater? Cashmere maybe. Anything but pink. I just can’t see a man in pink.” “Here’s something nice, Miss. How about a crew-neck sweater? We’re selling a lot of them now.” "Oh, possibly. But you don't know Henry. He doesn't go for all that Ivy League stuff. Gave him one of those striped button down shirts last Christmas, but something tells me he ex changed it. How about some thing a little bit more ordinary? Couid I look at that blue sweat er on the top shelf?" “Fine imported cashmere, Miss. Only $29.00.” “Well ... I don’t know. Really. I’m just looking around anyway. Thanks anyway. Thanks a lot.” We hastily made our $5.50 pur chase and window-shopped for a while. We can still picture the expression on that salesman’s face. Without further comment, we’d like to present this rather belated item we found here in the office: PADUCAH, Ky., Nov. 15 (#)— Ten codes appeared on the Padu cah Junior College campus last week wearing blue jeans and shorts. Male students protested. The next day, 20 girls showed up in the unconventional garb. Today, many of the boys at tended classes in blouses and skirts. Never before have we had so many term reports to do in one semester. And we are. in the fullest sense of the word, worried. In one of our classes, we are required, as a term paper, to compose a travel itin erary from bur home town to another American town bearing our last name. We have been assigned the in spiring task of securing one-way travel by rail, air, and bus from Hampton, Virginia, to Walker, Minnesota, which isn’t, of course, one of the more pleasant things in life to do. But then again, we know a fel low who took the course some time ago named Gus Walcynski. Someone had the audacity to suggest that we stole our “Sure Fire Dialogue” in. last week’s column from MAD cognics. Nothing, of course, could be fur- TUESDAY. DECEMBER 13. 1955 By RON WALKE: ther from the truth, since we hooked a good part of it from Steve Allen’s TV show, “Tonight.” For those of you who don't know. Sieve Allen has a great show that starts somewhere around 11 at night and lasts un til heaven knows when, but we enjoy each night of it. One of the cleverest bits he did during the summer was a take-off on popular Hollywood movie star names. The trend now is toward such names as Rock Hudson. Tab Hunter, and Rory Calhoun, and others that over-eager press agents dream up. We’d like to suggest a few that might fit very well into this trend. How about Rock Slide? Or Terry Cloth? Then there’s Bill Board and Harris Tweed. And don’t forget Boyd Dog and Phil Harmonic.
