Don’t Check the Checkers Against the wishes of Daniel Land, president. Interfraternity Council has made a bad mistake. Joseph Hartnett, president of Sigma Pi, sug gested to IFC that its checkers should be es corted through fraternity houses by one of the house officers. His idea is that the officer would be able to explain possible “discrepancies” which might be found in the house. Pledges, according to Hartnett, aren’t equipped to handle these “discrepancies.” The suggestion was made in an attack of the methods used by the IFC Board of Control. Members of the Board were accused of barging into fraternity houses in an attempt to check. We would like to know what “discrepancies” ■ fraternity would have to explain to checkers? From all appearances it would seem that some fraternities are trying to set up a method to stall for time. This, we think, would not be the case if these fraternities did not have something they wish to hide. IFC sets up the checking system and picks the checkers. The checkers are a function of IFC for its own protection. IFC should use its check ers effectively; it should not try to protect it self from the checkers. Bv restricting the actions of checkers, IFC will only weaken its checking What Cheer TO THE EDITOR: Won’t somebody please wake up the cheerleaders? At Saturday’s game the freshman section was as spirited a group as anyone could want— even the ever-demanding cheerleaders. But throughout the game, the frosh had to lead themselves, because the cheerleaders were aisleep on their feet—or perhaps angry that the card tricks were performed without their help. Either way the cheerleaders’ attitude will not encourage cooperation from the freshmen during games when the cheerleaders feel like cheer ing. No matter what their cheers, the cheer leaders are forgetting why they are out on the field. We’re cheering; why can’t they? Bookstore—Again? TO THE EDITOR: Why is it that new textbooks are not sold on campus through a cooperative bookstore such as the ones at many colleges throughout the country? This obvious lack in the midst of modern surroundings marks Penn State as being behind the times. The advantage accruing to the students through such a bookstore are many, but I will list just two. First, it would save money for each student on campus. In the course of four years the saving could be as much as $5O on text books alone, assuming that the policy of the present Book Exchange (10% patronage re fund) were followed. Multiplied by 12,000 stu dents, that is a lot of money. And if other neces sities were sold through the store the savings could‘even be greater. To those attending on the G.L Bill or on scholarship this sum looms even larger. Second, the profits from a cooperative book store would be returned to the students by being spent on student charities in the same DANCING TONIGHT 10 - 1 SATURDAY 9-12 at THE PARADISE CLUB Music by Don Smaltz Quartet Paid Political AJvertw»m»nt Vote Democratic on November 6 —Sponsored by Young Democratic Club Gttfe oatly Collegian i. rat rtci lasce. <a. isrr Safety —Alan Elms Barry Brandt Jack Behler Pete Stadler Sandy Paterson Paid Political AdvyrtinwiwHit THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA DAVE RICHARDS, Business Manager system. If IFC cannot do its own checking ef fectively, it will probably be relieved of the duty. An individual in the United States must obey a policeman, but the people of the U.S. as a whole have control over the police. In the same sense, individual fraternities are subject to the checkers, but fraternities as a whole control the checkers. It would be poor policy to restrict their actions as it would only detract from IFC’s ability to police itself. “Any “discrepancies” which must be explained by a fraternity officer could certainly be ex plained later. Any checker should be granted immediate entrance to. any part of the house when he first arrives. In order to check effective ly checkers should be given as much freedom as possible. Certainly their actions should not be restricted. If IFC wants to do its own checking, it should revise the decision it made this week in regard to checkers. Only short-sighted individuals, who are think ing of their own interests rather than the in terests of the fraternity system will continue in the attempt to restrict checkers. Valve Beethoven Blast TO THE EDITOR: Is it true on Nov. 20 when the Pittsburgh Symphony comes to our campus the Fifth Symphony of Beethoven will be on the program? Now, understand the Fifth Sym phony is a great enough piece of music—perhaps we should even say that no one should be un familiar with it. And if Fritz Reiner should come to Penn State only if we allow his musicians to perform it, then I say, let them come and per form it, indeed. But I have been lold from probably not too unreliable a source that the committee which had something to say about this matter made a very considerable effort to arrange matters so that we would be certain to be subjected to this work. Also, that there were four different pro grams that we were offered Nov. 20. It is perhaps needless to say but it seems to me that for our sole symphonic performance for the year (and by a group of the stature of the Pittsburgh Symphony) we should desire to hear something of a more esoteric nature (this is mildly put) than the hashed-and-rehashed-hear it-down-the-hall-twice-a-night Beethoven Fifth. Who is this committee? Let us hear them justify such poor judgment. I can accept. the reason they will certainly give that they are aiming to give the students something" they are familiar with and so can enjoy. To this I ask: “How unsophisticated does this committee think we are? Musi we be fed only the most popular symphony in the world to in sure acceptance of our nurlured-on-the-Pelvis student body? Lastly, may I ask what the rest of the pro gram is? I will guess: Ravel’sßolero, Tchaikow sky’s 1812 Overture, and a package of assorted Strauss waltzes. manner as the Book Exchange profits, but on a greatly enlarged scale. The present system of buying new books is an obsolete anachronism in an otherwise modern university. The President and the Trustees of the University should act to correct this situa tion at the earliest possible time.

'Round the Rim Poets, And “And, what is so rare as a day in June,” saith LowelL Well, for one thing, a new joke in Froth. I finally got around to reading the campus humor? magazine this week and making an unofficial tabulation I could only find seven new jokes. This is pretty good, usually I can’t find that many. ‘ According to Robert Gellman, Froth Business Manager, in a speech to the Leadership Training Program members, Froth ranks among the top ten humor maga zines in the country. Gellman pointed out that Collegian comes out every day and Froth comes out only every 30 days which proves that Froth is good for a month. In all fairness to Froth I think Gellman underestimated Froth’s staying power. It would be nearer to the truth to say Froth can last indefinitely as it rarely includes anything new. Even if you do miss an issue, you can always catch the new jokes (if any) in a later issue. I got wise to this Froth routine my freshman year. As an unsus pecting frosh I plunked down money for a full term’s subscrip tion. After reading the first three issues the light dawned. I’m happy to say that I haven't purchased a copy of Froth since that time. And my latest reading of a borrowed copy assured me that I haven’t missed a thing. Same old jokes! As I understand the system works this way. lvery time a new works this way.
