PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Due Recognition Tpmorrow, on Mother's Day, many of the women’s organizations on campus will honor outstanding coed undergraduates at the first campus-wide Honors .Assembly in the recent history of the University. The woman having the top scholarship record in each college, with the" exception of Mineral Industries,- will be named .as a Mortar Board Scholar. * Chimes, Scrolls and Mortar Board hat societies will tap mew members and the Education Student Council will present a scholarship and an outstanding senior award. Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi and Alpha Lambda Delta honorary societies and Cwens hat society will recog nize their hew members. We praise Mortar Board hat society, initiator of the ; assembly, and all other groups and persons instrumental in arranging this program. By presenting their awards at an open assembly, the societies participating are adding stature to their awards through campus-wide publicity as well as giving the recognition due to those being honored. By scheduling the program for Mother's Day when many parents are on campus, hat societies are giving par ants of ihojse being honored the opportunity to sea their daughters receive the honor, a-privllege usually impossible in the past; In the future we would like to see this Honors Assem bly • continued, and expanded to encompass the, awards given to men as well as to women. - \ We WQuld like to see a truly all-University Honors Day when all. of the hat societies would tap new members, , when all honorary societies would recognize new mem bers and when all colleges would give their outstanding students the recognition due them.

It would never do for the Letters Grad Student Challenges Orton's Views TO THE EDITOR: I read Sara lee Orton's column, “Lest We Forget . . , ”, ... . interesting, terribly unoriginal, but inter esting. If I’ve heard ‘'thunder on the right,” “witch-hunter,” “far more destructive than the communists," etc. once, I’ve heard them tod many times. 1 don’t object to the ideas being old (most good, ones are), it’s just that she, poor girl, finds it necessary to put them for ward in- the same old' way. As it turns out, she sounds as if she’s been memorizing New York Times editorials. Bui, alas, l cannot restrict my criticism solely to Saralee's descriptive powers, I must 90 a little further. I challenge Saralee to prove that members of YAF fall into the category of "witch-hunters," ie, self appointed executioners of in ternal communists at all costs. I know YAF members on campus; I've read National YAF publications: I r ve noticed no witch-hunting; and hope it does' not exist. I hate to charge you, Saralee, with irresponsiblity (of the Mc- Carthy type), but If you desire to make such' charges I think it only proper that you back your own “witch-hunting with substantial and unequivocal proof immediately; This should have beyn done It) your . column. To charge "methods they (members of YAF) sue may contribute far more to the' destruction of democracy than .: • . commu nists,** is a very j serious act. This must not go unproven. It is your duty to expose this organization far what it is. If you find you are unable to gather the necessary' over whelming proof, proof so over whelming that every' detail and nuance of your charge is verified, then,) Saralee,: I sug gest you retire from the staff of The Daily Collegian as an' irresponsible witch-hunteress. —John J. McHala Grad Student Performance folks to pull up in a ratty looking car! j i When Joe sees them, the car no longer matters. After Muz finds out that she’s lookin’ great and Pop is made to rea lize that he has gained a little weight, the weekend begins in fulLswing. f First thing on the agenda—out to the House. Joe's just-pledged a fraternity and Mr. and Mrs. College "just gotta meet the brothers ... 1 they're great!" Joe. hasn't begun his, pledging period yet. Out at the j House instruc tions are ma'dej names are for gotten and a few dropped. Aft er standing around smiling at other parents. Pop suggests that they go back to the campae and look over a few “cultural attractions” of the University. Joe gets a little worried, but hopes he’ll be able to find some. The libe sounds like an ultra cultural place to begin the tour. Joe takes Muz and Pop for a cigarette in the smoking room and they all sit for a while on the steps. What's next? Joe's worried. That's it! The. art exhibit in the HUB. "It's wonderful, dear," for about five minutes end lhen il's time to hit the LD for a coke. After aIL it's an awfully warm afternoon. Another stop ... a five min ute stand on. the steps of Boucke. Joe. tells his parents Letters Feasibility of 'Bureau'Doubted TO THE EDITORt Now that USG has a Student Opinion Bureau (abbreviated well, you know it’s! abbreviated), I would like to express the first opbilon: It woh’t work. The' idea,, folks, is to take “issues” that word can hide the stupidest things and ask a random sample 1 of students by telephone how they feel. I urge you all to reply, “Fine, thank you,” and hang up un less you're a .male type and wish to ask the surveyoress for a date. | Let us take two sample "is sues": Penn’State'has rejoined the National Student Associa tion on a one-year trial basis. The decision —' r presumably an intelligent one was met after presentation of argument in two successive sessions of the Congress, one of them over four hours long. And even as lha question wet called one repre sentative changed his mind be tween a show-of-hands vote and the roll-call vote taken', two minutes later.; You would be asked to make the same decision in a three minute phone call.

Pop odens up with a sly grin at the mention of this historic land mark. Pop shares an office with jbl Penn State-alumnus. From the 1 serene shadows of "the woods" it's only a few giant steps to the creamery— the favorite stop for University visitors from far and near- It's bittersweet for Muz, peanut-, butler ripple for Pop and va nilla for Joe and once again they're on the move. Joe looks at his watch and sees that it's, almost time for dinner el the House. He plots their course and decides the shortest route .. will be back past the HUB. iAs the trio passes this mod em structure a horde of screaming females emerges wearing hats of many colors. Some are dancing, some are cheering but all of them are leaping around. | Joe groans and mumbles an explanation—“ Women! It must be the Honors Assembly getting out!’’ After the typical House din ner of roast beef, peas and mashed potatoes. Muz and Pop drive off in their shiny car headed for home, j Whew! Sure was a hectic weekend but it was great to see the folks! you might not arrive at a sounder conclusion. | Two years ago a committee was empowered by the interim government to inves tiga t e chartering buses to take stu dents home to the larger cities at the end of each term and possibly to bring- then! back for the next. Nothing was done until the middle of last term tyhen Dennis Foianini personal ly contacted several bus lines, one of which said it could pro vide the reduced-fate service* He was seeking if given suf ficient notice. !

Then save yourself the phone bill. ! Just post'a sign-up sheet on the travel board in the HUB and advertise it prominently in the Collegian.
