PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Soph Car Ban—Rumor Freihnien can breathe a sigh of relief today The annual sophomore car ban rumor was floating about campus a few days ago but was quickly squelched by tin ce administration officials. For the past five years a rumor which has it that the University will ban sopho ei from having or using cars in Centre County has appeared. The foundation for such a rumor has never ben deter mined. Dean of Men Frank J. Simes had only one comment when a reporter called to ask for a verification of the rumen•---" Don't know a thing." He said he has no knowl edLe of the planned ban and was quick-to point to the "annual iumor" report. Campus Patrol Chief Lucien E. Bolduc said he had heard nothing of a ban on sophomore cars. "Since the fall of 1953 1 have heard that sophomores would be banned from operating automobiles and yet sophomores are still driving cars on campus. At that time it was definite that the ban would be effective in the fall of 1954," he said. Director of the Division of Security Elwood F. Olver said, when told of the rumor, "I haven't heard a thing about it and its news to me." Rumors come and go and this is rumor freshmen can be thankful for. Thankful, that is, for the present time at What Do You Think? The All-University Cabinet Committee on ROTC wants to know what you think. The committee, which has been making a study of the University's ROTC program and ways of improving it. has called for letters of opinion from students and members of the faculty and administration. The letters will be kept confidential and will be used to help the committee determine its recommendations on the program. Letters may be sent to John Bott, chairman of the committee, at the Hetzel Union desk. One of the objections to last year's Cabinet action on ROTC .was that not enough study had been given all aspects of the situation. This is an oversight the present committee hops to correct. Students and other interested persons can help make sure the correction is made. The Night People The Department of Physical Plant must have had its snow plows out in the wee small hours yesterday morning. When we arrived on campus for an 8 a.m. yesterday every single, solitary walk was clear. We tip our snow-covered hats to the' snow plovers who were thinking of our safety and comfort while we were still dreaming about the next round of bluebooks.

PENNSYLVANIA ROBERT PICCONE Business Manager Washington 'That Debt' Is Gaining on Us By ARTHUR EDSON WASH INGTON (JP) These are dismal times for us taxpayers. Not only the federal govern ment, but also every state and county seems to be on a desper ate hunt for new ways to latch on to a few more of our dollars. So it's a relief to turn to Sen. Clifford P. Case (R.) of Rahway, N.J., and an anonymous corres pondent of his who is helping pay on the national debt. Two years ago Case received a letter entitled, "It's only money." It was unsigned, but it included a $2O bill with this notation: "For our Uncle, may he always be right, but, right or wrong, our Uncle - Now comes another unsigned letter, also headed "It's only mo ney." and apparently sent by the same contributor. The haul this time: $l2. "This is not written derisive ly," said the taxpayers friend, "as I believe our national rep resentatives are all honorable men." But he or she observed that the needs are great, the demands are many and every little bit helps. As he did last time, Case sent the cash to the Treasury. Now for a distressing note: on June 3, 1957, when Case forward ed the S2O, the national debt stood at $275,014,910,792 55. Now it's $285.103,324,327.67.

Little Man on Campus by Dick Bible there's forestry—l may decide to go into the lumber business." , from here to infinity Fraternity Pins; Facts and Fancy With the IFC Ball tonight, we thought it might be well to refresh our minds about the old fraternity custom of pinning. In the current issue of a national magazine —"the Magazine of Togetherness" amid such lurid stories as "I Can't Get My Husband to Talk About Sex, Money and Children"; "The Story That Can Be Told of Debbie Rey nolds and Eddie Fisher"; and "The Disgrace of Hollywood," we came across an article en titled "The Etiquette of Pinning " Centered on a double-page spread, sur rounded by a cluster of 70 fraternity pins, we found the article. We were a mazed to dis cover that girls who are THOMPSON pinned wear their pins on blouses and sweaters in an area approximately "over their heart." This will no doubt clear up the misconception that they wear them to hold a wrap around skirt together. Evidently the author of the article came from one of the more fashionable schools —or at least did his research where fraternity men were big spend ers and big drinkers. The article goes on to say that "at men's colleges a pin ning sometimes obligates the pinner to give a party for his fraternity brothers; usually this means a keg of beer for the house."

There's a lot of beer in a keg. We were astonished to dis cover that men ne v e r wear women's sorority pins. We also found out that a girl calls the man she's pinned to "the man I'm pinned to." We would have never guessed. For those of you who date pinned girls, and the girl leaves her boyfriend's pin home, take heed. According to the article, this means "to all intents and purposes that the girl is available once more." Just what she's available for, we don't know. After all, she's been dating with her pin on. What could she possibly do with her pin off? And we were glad to see that girls have changed their ways from when their mothers were In college 25 years ago. Then it was the fashion to col. lecf as many pins as possible all at once. Now it seems to be the fashion to collect as many pins as possible—giving them back, of course. We were shocked 'o find that four fraternities do not permit their pins to be photographed. Two of the houses, however, with chapters on this campus have had pictures of their pins in the last two editions of La Vie. Wonder what national will have to say about this?
