To Conduct Formal Dance
"Dutch Treat"Dating
Becomes College Issue
by David Mlnsberg
<
Your inquiring reporter sits down
to write with a smirk on his face—
and can you blame him—it was a
very pleasant job he chose; in toto,
interviewing and hounding all the
beauties at State college. As usual
we started on the freshmen. We
accosted Ginny McDermott in the
hall and she seemed not to resent
it so we proceeded with this question, "Do you favor 'dutch treats' on
a date, that is each party paying his
own expenses?" "What! definitely
not!" She stamped her foot indignantly, "Do you think I'm going to
pay a fellow to take me out?" Cowed, we quietly sneaked off into a
corner for a half-hour until we regained our bravado, and then deckled that the mens' viewpoint would
be more welcome.
I favor them, because I'm liable to
make myself too popular on the
campus." Our other pulchritudinous
assay was Muriel Goldberg. She,
with that Myskanial attitude, answered, "Is this another case where
it's the woman who pays?" John
O'Brien summed up the thought of
the male student body in his concise
statement, "If she's willing why I
won't try hard to stop her."
Remember this discussion the next
time you go out on a date, and see
if you can't make some practical
use of these suggestions.
On Saturday evening, December 4,
"The Junipers" and the "Junipers
Juniors" will conduct their first annual Co-Operative Formal in the
Commons of State College. Dancing
will hold sway from 9:00 until 1:00
o'clock.
Representatives on the Grand
Committee for the event consists of
the following: Lillian Mosher, '38,
and Antoinette Mont, '38, from the
"Junipers;" Molly McClure, '38, and
Antoinette Don Vito, '38, from the
"Junipers Junior."
Members of the Program Committee are as follows: Louise Hessney,
Helen Provost, Elsie Winslow, sophomores, and Rose Lison, freshmen.
Arnold Ellerin, a young, Innocentlooking freshman, was the next victim. To the query Ellerin answered
gravely. "Once in a while it's all
right, but the fellow should not make
a habit of paying."
We left this wise frosh and approached two sophomores. "Toad"
Fairbanks, who was busy, answered
gruffly, "Custom being what it is,
and I having money In my pockets,
I'll prefer to pay the way." Approaching Doris Shultes with precaution (remembering our experience
with that freshman) we received a
more verbose reply: "If the fellow
and girl go around for a long time,
then it's different. Besides girls as
a rule don't have money, and the
fellows work, so . . . "
The Juniors were more solidified
in their opinion. Marion Minst said,
"If the fellow brings it up, he should
pay." Dee Jesse exclaimed, "It's
a terrible idea. I'd rather stay
home." Eddie Cassavant said, with
mature sagacity, "In an informal
date, it's all right but it would be
embarrassing in a formal date."
Representing the junior men is Joe
Wells. We cornered him and he
finally gave this off, "I wouldn't
like it. I'd feel kinda foolish proposing the idea of paying to her."
It was among the seniors, however,
that we found the most diversified
comment. Millie Nightingale replied, "It's not a bad idea in a way;
but let me go no farther than to say
that I will not cater to such an idea
under any circumstances."
Paul
Dittman confined himself to the
brief remark, "Yes, a great Idea—If
she's a rich widow." Our Campus
Queen, in one of her more condescending moods, retorted to our query
in this wise, "I'm afraid to say that
Appointment Bureau
To Sponsor Panels
At the senior and graduate meeting conducted last Tuesday by the
Appointment Bureau, the major aim
of the meeting was revealed to be
the formation of committees to study
three topics for panel discussions.
These topics are: personal interviews
(including personal appearance), application letters, and ethics of job
hunting.
At the Appointment Bureau office
in room 121 A and B there are blue
booklets on the desk in which interested students are asked to sign. The
committees are to be made up of
volunteers, those who have the inclination and the time.

Anniversary
Shades of 2,2 di-methyl, 4 isopropyl, 5, 6, di-ethyl nonatrleenyne, 3, 5, 71 The Chemistry
club celebrated its silver anniversary with a sumptuous spread
in the cafeteria Tuesday night.
Past presidents were much in
evidence, as President Mollcnkopf introduced assistant professor William Kennedy, who was
the first president of the club
when it was organized in 1912,
and Mrs. Kennedy of the class
of 1914; Miss Gladys Crodge,
1922-23; Clyde Slocum, 1928, and
Miss Irma Melthouse, 1931. William Fullagar, '36, and Ray Fisk,
'37, were expected, but were evidently lost on the way. Professor
Barnard S. Bronson and other
members of the chemistry department were also present.
After what consensus of opinion indicates was one of the
most satisfying meals, (unlimited ice cream), in the history of
cafeteria banquets, the club adjourned to room 250, where a
horde of neophytes were initiated into membership, upon presentation of skits for the edification of their elders. One eager
aspirant was introduced to H20
through the medium of a funnel,
while President Mollenkopf and
the faculty came in for unexpected ribbings.
