Alumni Residence Halls
To Entertain State Men
Myskania's Ballot Box
Has Thorough Cleaning
The students of the Alumni Residence hall will have an "open
house" for the men of State college
on Saturday from 8:00 until 11:00
o'clock.
Co-chairmen for tne affair are
Hilah Foote, and Delia Dolan, juniors. The chairmen of the committees are: arrangements, Jane
Schwerzman, '39; hospitality, Rita
Sullivan, '40; invitations, Jeanette
Barlow, '39; refreshments, Helen
Lannen, '40; music, Mary Ann Pomponio, '38; clean-up, Ruth Cass, '39.
AH men of State college are invited to attend. The regular rules as
set up by Residence council will appply for the party.
"Myskania announces" that
the Myskania ballot box is not a
public mailbox, "lost and found"
department, or garbage can, and
is not to be used as such in the
future. A little confusion In the
box, and in the minds of the
students has now been cleared
out—we hope!
Since its recent cleaning,
members of Myskania had been
wondering if it were tne same
ballot box, or if some kind fate
had switched boxes, until they
assured themselves that the
"Lost and Pound" box was still
in the same old place.
In the first place, there are
twenty-six other boxes for the
general public, so why not leave
just one for Myskania? There's
a box for lost articles which are
found, so use it for a change.
Members of Myskania also report that if it's necessary to put
lunch bags there, they would
prefer them full of food, but not
bread crusts, banana peels, or
annex sandwiches.

in State College, time sheets are
due by the twenty-third of this
month. They must be returned
to Student Aid office, room 107,
for the person's name to appear
on the payroll.
Thus far there are one hundred seven students on full time
and fifty persons on half-time.
The various lines of work In
which students are employed include secretarial, library and recreational supervision. It is incalculable to ascertain how valuable this added experience may
prove to many of these students in the future.

Rivalry Breaks
Last week's rivalry difficulties, with its
resulting undertones and hurried meetings, are seemingly settled. Students are
again dryly going to classes and Minerva
stands serene as ever, except for a somewhat unsightly bulge at the knuckles of her
right hand.
But is it settled ? Or is it only a repetition of last year's disturbances, which were
a repetition of those of the year before last,
ad infinitum. What, then, is to prevent
such outbreaks from cropping out in the
future?
The NEWS is not of prim beliefs, but is
clamping down on this sort of thing a sign
of "primness?" Or is it common sense?
College fun means to us something essential-it is included in the word "college"
itself. But is it fun to tear down the ideal
for which we are striving? Minerva is the
embodiment of that ideal. She is symbolic
of all that we strive to attain. Her statue
is the first thing to attract a newcomer.
It is the last remaining image of our college
halls that the graduate has. What is to be
gained, then, in mutilating the statue so
that when a visitor enters by the front
doors the first thing that greets his eyes is
a swollen and very much repaired whiteness.
Unorganized rivalry has always resulted in destructiveness of some sort. Useless
to argue that it was accidental. Results of
this sort can be foreseen with the first hint
of a sophomore-freshman scramble in the
college halls,
The greater the destruction of college
property, the more rigid the rules in regard
to rivalry will be. The complete abolition
of rivalry under such conditions is not too
great an improbability. What, then, can he
gained in impromptu mad scrambles
through the halls, which result in breakage,
worry, and financial obligations?
The student association has provided
rivalry functions for the sophomore and
freshman classes. He who has ever been
in a push-ball contest knows that it is no
"kindergarten ping-pong" affair. We
daresay, though, that if six-foot trenches
were left in the campus that push-ball
would be abolished, too. You get the idea,
don't you?
