Lingering Swastikas
The name "Elvis" and a swastika, both painted in
red on the west walk of the Mall, make a pretty picture
for visitors to campus and to students who pass by every
Univeisity officials acted very disturbed last month
when icd swastikas were painted on a fraternity, in
addition to the Mall. But they have been little moved
toward removing the paintings shown in the above photo
graph (retouched here to improve reproduction).
Anyone passing this spot can't help but observe the
apparent disconcern for the matter shown by the Uni
veisity. Physical Plant is quick to remove any dabs of
paint on the Nittany Lion Shrine.
As long as the paintings remain in their auspicious
spot, they reflect badly on the University by appearing
more serious to the average visitor.
Sorority Expansion Too!
The necessity for expanding sorority memberships
was brought to the fore only too clearly by Dean of
Women Dorothy Lipp last night.
The urgency of sorority expansion has become evident
with plans for increasing enrollment. At present, as Dean
Lipp pointed out, only 33 per cent of the women students
are in sororities. This percentage represents a very low
proportion of the total women students—and will become
worse within the next few years if something is not done
to correct the situation.
Of course, it can be said that all women students do
not wish to be a part of the sorority system. But this
reasoning does not justify the disappointment that many
rushees feel when they are excluded from sorority life
because of membership limitations.
The Panhellenic Council should give immediate atten
tion to possible expansion and keep the sororities in pace
with the University's long-range plans.

in Taking Courses
—Be impractical
It took deep and careful thought to choose a schedule
for my last semester at Penn State. I finally narrowed a
list of 11 absolutely-necessary-to-have-before-graduation
courses down to a more practical size, and took a carefully
prepared schedule to my adviser.
He looked, shuddered, closed his eyes and signed on
the dotted line. "Where on earth
do you find these obscure
courses?" he sighed. "You nev
er take anything I advise you
to take."
Before entering the Univer
sity, I was fascinated by and
still have in my possession
a series of articles written by
Bernice Fitz-Gibbon, a fabu
lous success in the cold, prac
tical world of advertising. Her
advice to us who wished to be
like her was: "Be impractical!"
I found this idea so delight
ful that a psychological block
was raised, preventing any oth
er more sound advice from
penetrating. These were her
words:
"Some of you readers will be
back at college now. Let me
put in my belated two cents'
worth as to what courses you
should be taking: impractical
ones, please. The no-nonsense
about - them, down -to - earth -
practical courses often prove
practically worthless as a prep
- aration for advertising writ
ing."
And she evidently meant it,
for here is part of a quiz she
used to give young people look
ing for a position in the copy
writing department.

which usually leads to success.
And you're probably one who
looked longingly at courses

pire, before putting the more
"sensible" ones down on your
number two card.
But what possible help
could a lot of sensible "recom
