News Editor This Issue TUESDAY, MARCH 15. 1927 CONGRATULATIONS! Visitors to the mythical lair of the Nittany lion could not have avoided carrying away any thing but a favorable impression of the place we know as Penn State. Regularly scheduled events Of the week-end were executed in such a manner as to bring praise to her name. The Sophomore Hop was the initial source of entertainment afforded the guests. And enter taining it was! With Danny Murphy and His Musical Skippers issuing enchanting strains amidst ideal settings, the Hop scored. The com mittee deserves all the plaudits that should come its way. Freshman and varsity boxing exhibitions a gainst worthy opponents were additional sources of thrills to the spectators to say nothing of the Varsity-Pennsylvania wrestling setto. The basket ball team. one of the really great Penn State quin tets, finished its season in true breath-taking, whirlwind style to obtain a well-earned victory against Pitt. To Captain llamas and the entire tram the followers of the Blue and White extend heart-felt congratulations. Athletic events and the Sophomore 'Hop. in addition to the spring -like invigorating weather during the n•cek-end, did much to add to the pres tige of the name Penn State. It is on such social occasions that outsiders obtain impressions of the College. It so happened that everything went off with clock-like perfection. Penn State mat• in deed be proud. W.

' with cards. in. order that: 'none shall iseape--bY Plitck= - ing the students off the golf course and tennis court on Sundays and depositing them resolutely in the nave. It is a delightful theory, but it is blerable only as a theory; and its continuation this year is both preposterous and perturbing. Now the COLLEGIANS main concern is neither to justify nor condemn, nor most of all, to project unfathomable discords: but it is, in the final anal ysis, passionately eager to interpret and to under stand. Sometimes, indeed, its judgments verge tre mendously near the ridiculous: sometimes peril ously near the truth: it is on these few occasions that it ascends the magnificent heights of learn ing and hobnobs in serious, logical argument with the Wise. it is in this hitter altitude—pardon— attitude that we approach the problem of Blue Laws in State College. We believe that the Blue Law is an evil, a nuisance, an irreligious, unreas onable imposition. We object to it most of all as proof of godliness. It is certainly a temptation to caper among Ihe rigid "caste" iron bonds of Blue Law restric tions: but if our antics appear dangerous they are no more alarming than the inanities which they describe, inanities, incidentally, that lead to gamb ling, joyous and unconfined. among the very stu dents whom they wish to shape into upright and honorable men. By this time it should be suffic iently obvious that no weak doctrine canmake a strong man. But lo! cries the clergyman, are not our churches filled to the. overflowing every Sunday? But with what are they filled? With vener ation. with worship, with religion? Most people are ready to accept religion with meek and resplendent willingness—until it inter feres with their convenience. The good Blue Doc tors of State College are actually combating hell with the weapons of hell: with fire, with sword, with sinister and pitiful restrictions. No Wonder Mr. Sinclair Lewis' "Elmer Gantr y !" Certainly it is an exaggeration, certainly it is a caricature. But on whom must fall the shame of making a caricature a mirrored reflection, mi true to real life that it is actually embarrassing? . . We frankly admit that those who established the great Idol Indigo are fearfully learned men. They are so learned, in fact, that we hesitate to mingle with them: oh how much they know! Un fortunately, as is generally the case where the em blem of authority is vested in a few infallible minds, their learning is not tempered with mod esty; unfortunately their palace of religion IS a palace, but a palace so desolate of spiritual under standing that none can live in it! But courage! There is always the possibility that the infallible may be wrong. B. K. - President Vice-President - Treasurer Editor to-Chief Assistant Editor :danaging Editor Women's Editor The Old Main Bell, magazine of a thousand hopes, is on the proverbial fence. ready either to drop down into our back-yard nr to flutter off into the obscurity which lies on the other side. And the breeze of student favor will do the toppling. Only a few years ago the publication of it purely literary magazine was conceived and made a reality through the efforts of l'i Delta Epsilon, honorary journalistic fraternity. The magazine did not thrive (luring that introductory period: students looked blankly upon it and looked away. Though its life was never despaired of, the Bell suffered a sluggish circulation and all sorts of threatening reverses in its early. post-natal days. But forced smiles denied any relapse. and resort to artificial solicitation insured continued life for the lone expression of student literateurs. W. Lord. Jr. '2B P. IL Smaliz '25 Business Manager Advertising Manager Circulation Manager IL B. Kithorn '2 9 W. J. McLaughlin '2B Thk year the Old Main Bell was more suc cessful by comparison, but still no unexpectedly dizzy heights were reached. Contributions, it is true. did better than merely trickle in; circulation did assume a brighter hue. but sadly, the Bell has not yet achieved its proper niche in the campus Hall of Fame. It is still a sluggish proposition. Students do not yet clamor for the magazine and elbow each other as they struggle to obtain copies. They take the Old Alain Bell calmly; some condescend to subscribe, but only out of deference to an im ploring acquaintance. Pitifully few clearly realize. the true worth of the endeavor. In a few days there will be a call for contrib utions to the second issue of .the magazine; shortly after there will be a moderate campaign for sub sc•iptions. But there will . be no begging and no frantic soliciting. The Old Main Bell shall not go on ragged knees imploring favors. There is no need to speak of the value of the magazine; there is no need to extol it to the skies. Penn State knows the Old Alain Bell and its pos sibilities. The one desire now is to have Penn State support the Old Main. Bell. It is well de se•ving. R. M. A. --P. R. Smaltz Smithery:—.l" say. Bullosophor. what's that on your hip?

I'd been hearing so much about the selling of 'reserved' scats which really belonged to the students, that I decided to do a little personal investigation. I got around an hour before game time, saw Glenn Killinger on the bench—the cheer leaders were perfectly oblivious to the bench, except as a place to sit on—and managed to squeeze in on a bottom row. Suddenly, without a word of warning, the man be hind me brought his right foot around smartly. I give you my word, Smithers, my spine actually burned with shame. A gentleman's aigreement would have avoided it an, of course. A gentle pressure of the knees, a soft tap with the left font, a Smithers:—(lt's time he said something) That's what you get for being mischievous. A kick in the pants is the reformer's reward. Look at Saint .Town. "She wasn't kicked in the pants!" Smithers:—Principle's the same. YOU got it in the neck. "I got it in the pants. The event happened before could protect myself. I had been gazing into space—the reserved space on the other side of the Armory where the eo•eds (?) dangled their radiant limbs carelessly, or care fully, as the'ease may be, while the freshmen perspired.
