Member of Eastern Intercollegiate Newspaper Association TUESDAY. MARCH 29,1926 BEAUTY AND THE BEAST The executive board ot the COLLEGIAN understands that a Tccent editorial. “Great Guns,” has offended many friends of the College The boaid wishes to coirect any mistaken impressions that may have been com eyed by the article Deliberation shows that the adverse comment aroused was m ihe disrespect to the sacred memory of those represented bv the tablets at the entrance to the Auditorium and by similar tablets Ihioughout the country, those who made the supreme, unselfish sacrifice in order that the younger geneiation might live its own life in security, those who unselfishly and voluntanly offered their lives for the same pnnciple, those who faced just such unsightly, un-Godly implements, who survived “eternal bliss” and who ic sent being classified with “wai piofiteeis and what-have-yous ” , Disrespect was unintentionally shown to the revered memoiy °t Dr Edwm Earle Sparks, former president of Penn State When the editorial was written, there was on hand no mioimation to show that Di. Sparks, intensely patriotic, w r ent to endless trouble m selecting this particular type of gun. Others weie offered but this was his selection Was it because, in his piofound wisdom, he realized that youth in yeais to come \yould lesent its ugliness, its awkward ness? Did he not mean it as a constant reminder of those gener ous-minded,'idealistic young men who made it possible to preserve the aesthetic beauties of campuses such as ours? In fail ness to all concerned, the COLLEGIAN acknowledges the editonal as its own, holding that its original intention was cO show’ the absence of aesthetic qualities about the gun, and lakes this opportunity of explaining any miseonstiued ideas of any pei son oi oigani/ation connected in any way with the Wot Id War (This editorial was requested and approted bv the American Legion.) AGAIN—HATS OFF Penn State has a position in the collegiate world. of coin so But where? Certainly not in the vanguard. We think, natural ly, that Penn State is the best, the only college, and rightly so— when we discuss things othei than customs As pointed out in a iccent Student Council meeting, Yale and Penn State are probably the only institutions which still hold to the old custom of having none but seniors go bareheaded And at New Ha\en the custom loses force as soon as one is off the cam pus Penn State has habitually, tightened up on tradition while the ladicaL(progressive) colleges ha\o realized the futility of questionable regulations such as the wearing of hats. We ventme to say that there is not one man at Penn State to day who, before he came here, visioned college men any othei way but hatless And, one guess leading to another, we* think that every fi eshman i eading the handbook for the fii st time smothered a groan when he saw that only seniors w’ere permitted to baie their heads „ The motion for a hatlcss junioi class was tabled at the last Council session. Unless the membeis of 1927 aie able to pro\e to the satisfaction of the seniors that third-year men should go hatless, there is no hope until next year. Unless the piesent jun toi s piovc that next year they -will be willing to peimit the mem bers of 1928 to doff their hats, the battle is lost. 1927 has no choice but to take the bull by the horns. “ALAS. POOR YORICK” Inspirations come but once in a lifetime. Frothy has had his To cite just such an instance in another institution noted foi its distinguished graduates. The staff of the Harvard Lampoon, on the eve of St. Patrick’s Day, stealthily betook itself to the office of the Harvard Crimson. The building of the latter publication was painted a brilliant orange by the dispensers of wanton wit, and each copy of the morrow's issue of the Crimson was stamped “Watch for Lampy's St Patrick’s Day number.” What a treat, what an inspiration! The Crimson retaliated by printing, in the next issues, iaked stones of the unavoidable bankruptcy of the Lampoon; letters ai lived from foimci Lampoon editors, asking the Crimson to sub side the bankrupt publication, the comic magazine which had for so long a period been a univei sity tradition. The Crimson printed all those lotteis, together with a faked picture of the Lampoon's building displaying a “For Sale” sign Then, when the affair blew ovei, the Lampoon had scoicd a hit while the Crimson became the laughing-stock of Cambridge. And why? There was no co-op eration ! Frothy has had his inspiration. We arc pleased with the Parody number. Nothing could have anointed our bulging bean with a more soothing salve. To have Frothy select the COLLEG IAN for “the great adventure” is to us an unspeakable delight. May the upper office prosper m its collecting of the slippery shek els. .(heedless to say, we’re splitting the proceeds.)
