1941-igU2 Inter-Center
Student Council Conference
Wheel Those kids who went to the
Student Coiincil Conference at Potts
vilie sure to "Want to Set the World
on IFire"! They were active and busy
every minute they were away.
Here is what they did. They had
lunch at the Necho Allen Hotel, fol—'
lowed by a meeting of the various com
mittees, after which their pictures
were taken. At the dinner in the
evening, Professor Gates of the English
Department of She Pennsylvania State
College gave an interesting talk and
Mr. Morgan, formerly Assistant Adminis
trative Head of BUC, told jokes; this
was followed by a swell hoe-down.
The next morning the delegates
had a meeting to decide upon Student
Council keys. Later in the morning
the general meeting of all committees
was held, at which time various goals
were set and ideas exchanged. This
meeting i>jas followed by dinner at the
hotel, the last event of the conference.
Here's what the Councils want to
1. Have Ping-Pong tournaments pre
cede the basketball games.
2. Establish a uniform Student
Council key.
These are the things which the
HUC Council is trying to promote;
1. Have an open house for the
Pottsville basketball team.
2. Have some social affair with
the Schuylkill Center.

What 1 s Wrong with the Sophs?
Customs —punishments—just two words
without meaning (to the Sophs). We did
not wear dinks, we did not comply with
the punishment. Did anything happen?
No! And Why? The Sophomores were afraid
of us (We must be larger than they are!).
Or perhaps because they didn't abide by
customs last year, they felt that we
didn't have to. Not that we're com
plaining about not having to keep cus
toms, but we think the Sophs are silly.
They keep talking about customs and what
they'll do to us if we don't obey, but
it's all talk! They're sheep in wolves'
clothing—not a backbone in the crowd.
And the Tribunal—that's a laugh!
They make a big rumpus about our showing
up; they make us feel like two cents for
about five minutes, and that's all.
Why, many of the Sophomores didn't even
appear at the meetings of the supposedly
dread Tribunal. School spirit doesn't
seem to mean a thing to these sophisti
cated .Sophomores.
Wait until next year and we'll show
the school how to run customs and a Tri
bunal!
"Button, Frosh," I yelled. But the
inferior pup looked at me with indiffer
ence. I was amazed at such reaction and
questioned further. "Have you no fear
of the all-powerful Tribunal?" "Don't
make me laugh," was the reply. r fhis
proved to me that the average Freshman
has an attitude of belligerence toward
the carrying out of customs. I feel that
this is a disgrace to the tradition that
has been set up, but I also feel that all
blame cannot be placed on the Freshmen.
The Sophomores from the outset of the sem
ester have treated the customs as a joke.’
This feeling was contagious and spread to
the Freshmen.
I suggest that the Sophomores, by
treating the subject with proper revery
ence, instill in the Freshmen a similar
feeling. After all, customs are an in
tegral part of Freshman activities.
