Should Be Uglier and Better Now
Alpha Phi Omega, supported by the Senate
Subcommittee on Student Affairs, has made a
wise move in transferring the Ugly Man Con
test from the spring to the fall semester.
The division between fraternity and inde-
Eendent groups in competition also shows intel
gent planning.
As evidenced by the recent "marathon" of
spring activities, the second semester of the year
is crowded with parades, contests, elections and
general organizational activities. All groups,
particularly sororities and fraternities, the main
supporters of these activities, are not able to
devote full effort to everything they attempt.
Therefore some jobs slip by only half-done.
Alpha Phi Omega, functionally a service or
ganization, should not suffer this neglect. In the
past the organization has used the proceeds
from the Ugly Man Contest for Campus Chest
and the Beaver Dam project. Other projects in
clude a scholarship fund, bloodmobile opera
tions and the recent Hungarian Relief Fund.
There are few group projects such as the
Ugly Man Contest in the fall semester. Conse
quently, the contest will get greater attention

TV Facilities
Prove Useful
In Many Ways
The television facilities in the
University’s instructional research
program are being used in sev
eral ways this semester.
A total of 18 courses are offered
by TV at present. In many courses
the entire class instruction origi
nates in one room and is televised
to a number of small viewing
rooms.
Courses Taught
A 2-way talkback system is
employed in several of these
rooms to enable the instructor
and students to communicate
during the class period. Courses
taught by this system include
Music 5 and Sociology 1.
In other courses only lectures
are televised. Supplementary in
struction and discussion groups
are provided for in small recita
tion sections. This system is used
for such subjects as German 1
and Accounting 1.
Provides Training
The television system is also
.used for magnifying demonstra
tions in a lecture hall so that
"large groups of students can be
accommodated. This is done in
such courses as Education 1 and
Engineering 1.
This system is also in use to
train • students in television tech
niques. These training courses
•re Speech 437 and Drama 48.

from the participating groups and will provide
a project for groups to start working toward
in the early part of the year.
Alpha Phi Omega considered, in the fall of
1955, having the Ugly Man Contest during Pitt
weekend, but decided against it. Now they have
taken a step which will probably insure a more
successful program for them.
The separation between independent and fra
ternity groups may act as a stimulation for
campus organizations and dormitory living units
to participate in the contest.
Independent groups can, as they have proven,
organize and work well in activities such as
these. But the fraternity groups, living together
and in constant contact, have somewhat of an
advantage in a contest. This division will pro
vide equal opportunity for the groups in com
petition.
Alpha Phi Omega has taken the first step
in the change of time and organization. The
second move to make the contest more success
ful remains open for industrious groups to sup
port a worthwhile project.

Some Bits
of
Straw
By Anne Friedberg
With the arrival of spring also comes the perennial argu
ment about the wearing of Bermuda shorts for women. The
subject has been a “controversial” one ever since Bermudas
came into the fashion limelight about six years ago.
However, the Bermudas situation here at Penn State is
not as bad as it could .be. —-
From the Connecticut Daily
Campus, we learn that the Stu
dent Senate (comparable to All-
University Cabinet) is introduc
ing a bill recommending that the
Women’s Student Government
Council permit women to wear
Bermuda shorts and slacks after
3 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.
The recommendation limits the
wearing of the apparel to within
living units and does not include
permission for dinnertime wear.
It’s, not so bad after all, agreed
coeds???
With the advent of warm,
spring weather also comes a
“chain reaction-type of raids” on
college campuses throughout the
country. These raids of differing
varieties are most often, if not
always, instigated by “playful”
men students to the gleeful de
light of the coeds. •
Last week, though, 15 Bryn
Mawr coeds attempted a "repri
sal raid" on Haverford College
to avenge a previous raid on
. their campus by 50 Haverford
students. The Daily Pennsyl
vanian reports that after the
coeds had spent only a few
minutes lining trees with tissue
paper, students from a Haver
ford dormitory spotted them.
About 100 men joined the coun
terattack and the coeds were
forced under showers for five
minutes of the Haverford version
of the “Chinese Water Torture.”
Got a chance to see “Mutiny
on the Bounty” the other night
and was impressed with its im
pact as it was the first time for
me!
The acting of Charles Laugh
ton as Captain Bligh, Clark
Gable as Mr. Christian, and
Franchol Tone in a supporting
role, was superb. Gable is a de
batable topic -in many circles,
but he's all right for my money.
In 1934, he won an Oscar for
his performance in “It Happened
One Night,”, which captured ev
ery major Academy Award that
year. In 1935, it was “Mutiny on
the Bounty,” and in 1939, “Gone
With the Wind,” with his re
nowned portrayal of Rhett But
ler.

weekend, as he was certain it
would “delight” them.
He was quickly reminded that
“Teahouse of the August Moon”
is also playing. Looks as if Sar

seat to Vern Sneider and John
Patrick for this weekend at any
rate.
