Editorial Opinion
This Is Fair?
Last season's IFC-Panhel Sing winners will-be sing
ing again this year. The decision was made when IFC
this week defeated a :notion which would have forbidden
participation in the sing by the preceding year's winning
fraternity and sorority.
That the council took this action is to its credit. Such
a rule would have been unfair both to the winners and to
other competing groups, while failing to increase competi
tion.
But the ruling which was substituted Is not much of
an improvement. It requires that the winners change their
fraternity songs In the next year's contest.
Forcing two groups to learn a new song while all other
competitors may leave their unchanged is hardly "putting
them on an equal footing with the other groups," as the
sing committee seems to believe. It is putting the winners
at a disadvantage, for to establish equality, each entering
group would have to sing a new song.
And we doubt that putting the winners at such a dis
advantage will increase the number of entrants. It's not
the song winch captures the trophy for the winner, nor is
ft the monopoly of one group which discourages the
Greeks. It's the many hours of hard work involved that
account for both the victory and the scarcity of entrants.
Illogical as it may be. however. the rule has been
passed and last year's winners will be entering under a
handicap. It is now up to the sing committee to see that
further injustice is not done by the selection of Judges.
Tin. committee is now considering obtaining judges
from off campus for the final competition, but no action
has yet been taken. Action should not stop with "consider
ation." for qualified, unbiased judges are as essential as
are the Greek groups which they rate. And the best judges
—tor the preliminaries as well as the finals—could be
competent. disinterested judges from outside State College.
'Organizational' Uproar
The uproar at last Sunday's University part Y's "or
ganizational" meeting was load enough to bring about a
revision to the Elections Code.
Arthur Pfautz., who lost in his bid for party chairman,
protested mainly inn the grounds of the confusion in
registering party members.
It seems that Pater Fishburn. Elections Committee
chairman, announced at first that matriculation cards
were needed for registering. Then he later broadened his
ruling to include other identification.
In the meantime. some people were turned away. And
this Mauls said caused hlrn the election.
Whether tins was trlie or not will never be known,
but the only fat: thutg to do was to void the entire meet
ing and party registration. This the committee did unani
mously. After all, who goofed?
However. the c‘Arnmittee did not stop there. It went
on to :Tell out ret:t - istration procure in the Elections
Code. Ele.-tiNts Committee, then, not only deserves credit
for admitting its mistake but for taking action to help
prevent it Libra reoccuring.

Pseudo-Politicos
Bother Readers
TO THE EDITOR: On Wednesday
night, after hearirg protest, the
Elections Committee reversed-its
decision regarding proper identi
fication for registering and vot
ing in last Sunday's meeting of
the University party for the pur
pose of electing party officers. In
doing so, the Committee declared
the elections null and void, which
is quite proper. There is, however,
a cloud of gloom which hangs
over the whole political scene.
The people who framed the
University party constitution and
who have organized the party
thus far have had a sincere and
genuine interest in correcting the
inadequacies of the present poli
tical situation as it exists today.
Last Sunday's elections showed
there were others who were also
interested in the University party
—namely the remnants of the
amazingly ineffective Lion party.
We feel they' are many stu
dents, both inl6-pendent and fra
ternity. who are keenly aware of
the poor l 'itical situation as
exemplified oy the elections of
last spring, but who do not have
the means- through which to ex
press their disapproval. The Uni
versity party is attempting to
supply that means, but if the
pseudo-politicians of Lion party
are allowed to gain control of the
University party, which they are
indeed attempting to do. then we
may as well resign ourselves to
another seige of incompetency
and impotency in campus politics.
In short this is an appeal to
those students who are interested
In decent student government to
support the principles of the Uni
versity party, which are so sorely
needed. Their support is extreme
ly necessary if next Sunday's elec
tions are to prevent a coup by
the politically desperate Lion
Party-
Future political policy hinges
on Sunda; ; night's elections. Do
not allow •' the University party to
become a sounding board for the
egos of political opportunists.

From Here
Oh, to Sit In
On Sorority Rush
When you become an eighth-semester senior you .be;
gin to take stock of what you have teceived and missed
getting out of.college life.
And inside of you at other times is the just plain
desire of getting out.
I have already resolved myself to the fact that it is
too late for me to be appointed
to a committee on committees.
But this is not the only thing
I have missed getting out of
college.
You see. I have never at
tended a sorority rushing par
ty!
Just think of . .
the number
of males who
leave Penn,
State without 41-111 ,
the value they - ""'" 7 - '-
would receive 4,4 1 C -
sitting in on .
just one sor- -, •
ority rushing
party. One •
wouldbee- •
nough.
It is indeed
unfortunate Penn State men
miss this.
Attending a rushing chat ses
sion, I believe, would be quite
an experience.
Of course, I wouldn't want
to go there to chat but to just
listen. After all, what do I
know about the things chatted
about at one of these parties?
And besides, it seems it would
be more fun just listen.
Attending one of these par
ties would give men an ex
cellent insight into women.
They would learn at lust one
of these parties just how beast
ily clever women can be, espe
nz' illy how many tricks they
have at their disposaL
And they use all the tricks
at their disposal during rush
ing, I understand. This is di
plomacy at its best.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY - 14, 1958
on Cam
US ' by Dick Bader
By Ed Dubbs
John Foster Dulles is miss
ing a good bet by not sitting
in on a sorority rushing party.
He might learn - how to corner
those Russians.
After all, those Russians just
couldn't be as shrewd as sor
ority women during rushing.
Not just John Foster, but
every man would get some
thing out of attending one •of
these parties.
After all, these tricks used
for getting a pledge are the
same ones used by women in
landing a man.
Males would profit by learn
ing these tricks. This is general
education every male- college
graduate could use.
Now, I must admit that these
tricks can be learned without
going to a rushing party. But
where else, in just one or two
short hours, can we males
learn all these tricks? Few
places indeed.
But, then, maybe life's more
fun not knowing all these
tricks. At least it's more com
plicated.
