Editorial Opinion
Open Saturdays
The Interfraternity Council will hear a proposal Mon
day to modify its deferred rushing program. But the rec
ommentiation will by no means solve all the rushing prob
lems encountered by fraternities.
The IFC Board of Control will recommend that fresh
men be permitted in fraternities from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. on
Saturdays. Present regulations allow freshmen in frater
nities only during IFC-planned open houses.
This recommendation should be acceptable to both
sides in the rushing issue. It will allow Greeks to meet
freshmen while not running into the expense of special
meals during the formal rushing period.
Open Saturday nights would give freshmen a chance
to see more houses before formal rushing begins. It would
also ease the problem limited social activities for fresh
men.
However, this proposal coupled with the present de
ferred program still leaves many houses with a big ex
pense problem. In edition to the concentrated seven weeks
of formal rushing beginning in February, Greeks would
have the extra expense of Saturday nights during the fall
semester.
The Open Saturday proposal should be adopted, but
a closer look is now needed to evaluate deferred rushing's
first year of operation.
Sensible Celebrating
Win, lose or draw, there will IreS big celebration fol
lowing the football game today. Past demonstrations fol
lowing Nit tany Lion victories have been noisy and vigorous
but not destructive. We hope the trend will continue
after the Lion's win this afternoon.

Study Forsaken
As Spirit Week
Raises Hopes
Hello again, students. Now that
Spirit Week is here, one has a
heck of a time thinking about
the old books. Hopes haven't
been so high since the 1952 Presi
dential elections.
Maybe the Red Cross should
move its facilities up to the vicin
ity of Beaver Field for today's
game.
We wonder who walked by the
obelisk that has graced Market
St. in Harrisburg for the past 50
years. It ain't there no more.
A gentleman tried to pay his
check at the Corner Room this
week and was told that checks
over $lO couldn't be cashed un
der any circumstances. His was
for $lB and he was William Hen
ning, the State's Secretary of
Agriculture.
Then there was the Collegian
reporter that wrote seven stories
about last week's Robert Frost
lecture and forgot what time the
program started Saturday night.
And speaking of forgetting,
the following answer appeared on
a Psych 2 quiz: "1 forgot." The
question: List the principles of
forgetting.
The girls in McKee Hall had
a unique setup with the boys in
Hamilton. The girls watched the
Lion Shrine, with a phone line
open to the Hamilton boys to
warn them of Syracuse painters.
Who is the guy that keeps the
clocks in Boucke Building run
ning', Some of the clocks are
still on Daylight Savings time.
Syracuse got a pretty bum
sandblasting job if they paid $lO
thousand for it. The buildings
supposedly blasted to remove all
the blue paint still looked pretty
dirty.
Better plan to get to the sta
dium early this afternoon. If the
administration carries out its
threats to check matric cards
closely, there's going to be a line
clear down to College Ave.
Imagine a line of 15,000! Maybe
they'd better check fingerprints
too.
We understand that the flag
pole in front of the Syracuse
chapel was flying a "Beat Syra
cuse" banner early yesterday
morning.
Overheard from two professors
walking past the new wing of
Sackett: "It's a shame. It looks
like a factory."
Could it be that the orange
paint on the Lion shrine was an
inside job to instill spirit at the
beginning of this week?
Well students, have fun at the
game, and try to spare the goal
posts on your way out.

TO THE EDITOR: We would
like to add our protests against
the unreasonable parking regu

of the Vice President for Busi

These regulations have in
creased congestion in the few
areas in which student park

the evening, is the scene of
chaotic narrow escapes, coeds

pare in any way to last night's
dance. Oh well ,it's a good ex
cuse to live it up! Why don't
we just tag them all as "House
party Weekends?"
Aside from this, I can safe
ly remark that this weekend is
the biggest, most boisterous,
spirit-filled time that I have
ever witnessed at State. No one
can say that Penn State stu
dents lack pep. Anyone who
thinks this spirit is negligible
has but to go up to a student
and casually remark that Syra
cuse has a better team. Bet it
wouldn't take long to convince
that "doubting Thomas."
Merchants ar e wondering,
townspeople ar e wondering,
everyone but students are won

happen around 4:30 p.m. to
day. Guess, I don't have to
make any predictions judging
from actions of the past week.
And Nie hen the evening rolls
around, that's another story.
Shipwreck parties, come as you
are parties, beatnik parties—
you name 'em, we'll have 'em.
Yes sir, it's a great weekend

Although the convenience of
the location is not a factor fa
vorably influencing the vege

of the Vice President for Busi

is universally agreed that there
has never been congestion in
the Osmond lot detrimental to
