WEDNESDAY, FEB. 12, 1913 Dancing during Our Future the last few years Public Dances has received a which has resulted in this form of amusement becoming more popular throughout the country. A few of the dances that have caused con siderable comment are the Grizzly- Bunny-hug, Turkey-trot, Kangaroo-wiggle, Texas-tommy, Tango and One-step. But while these dances are comparatively new, the newer and the saner idea that is now becoming predominant is the opposition shown toward them by the general public. The most formidable attack on these forms of diversion was made in the House on Jan. 17 when the following bill was introduced: "That the grant of permit to the committee on inaugural ceremonies for the use of the pension building for the inaugural ball is expressely upon condition and with limitation that for the prevention of acts of public indecency the following so called dances are absolutely barred and prohibited: 'Grizzly-bear, gyrations, 'Bunny-hug tenderloin movement, Turkey-trot contortions, and all similar forms of gymnastic convulsive movements suggestive of the degenerate revelries of the seg regated districts." The Pan-Hellenic Council of Ohio State has passed a number of res olutions placing a ban on all forms of indecent dancing. The Michigan Union committee of Michigan Uni versity has also taken drastic meas ure to prohibit dancing of the re pulsive nature. At Annapolis the midshipmen are now abiding by a new set of rules regarding this amusement What shall be the attitude of Penn State men toward our public dances in the future ? Shall we not take a decisive stand, and, by student regulation, place our Alma Mater among the first to discourage all forms of vulgarism and in decency at our public affairs ? For years the Leaving Chapel custom of classes leaving chapel in order of their seniority has prevail- ed. Just now seniors are frequently forced to be the last to leave the Auditorium. Let us keep the old customs alive. Interest Lies varsity sport was clearly evidenced by the turn-out of students last Wed nesday to the final trials for the McGill meet; but the attitude as sumed by some of the spectators, notably underclassmen, was hardly encouraging to the athletes or to those who were doing their best to fairly select the members of the varsity team. It is not fair for spectators to assume that varsity trials are run strictly for their own amusement, and to voice their sentiments accordingly, as to methods of procedure. This is another example of the well known local fondness for ex hibitions where no admission is charged. There were certainly no crowded conditions at the inter class basketball game held just be fore the wrestling trials; in fact, rather than pay admission, many who wished to witness the trials waited outside the gym nasium until after the game. This may explain the lack - of interest in our inter-class basketball league. stimulus Lights in no building on our the Library. campus that is harder to keep well lighted than our Library. At cer tain times this winter the lights in the Library have been unusually bad. This fact can be attributed to the fact that when a new supply of lights has been installed the new lights disappear within two or three days. Whether it is considered a joke to appropriate these lights or whether some one among us intends going into the lighting business has not been determined. The fact re mains that the building should at all times be well lighted, and it is the duty of any man in college to quietly report any acts of self-ap propriation to the Librarian. The given by Dean Locked Door. Holmes in the Audi torium recently one of the doors leading from the main hall into the lobby was found lock ed. The absence of one less exit to a building the size of the Audi- torium causes not only an annoy ance to people leaving the building, but it is also in direct violation with the ordinances of public safety and might be the cause of serious loss of life in case of fire. Too much care cannot be used in seeing that all exits are free and can be quickly used in time of need. No finer example of For Penn true Penn State spirit State. along the line of true sportsmanship has ever been exhibited than at the recent and first wrestling meet of the local season and in the general attitude and treatment afforded the visiting team. Members of the McGill team together with their coach had nothing but words of commenda tion for the treatment they received and the sportsmanship shown by the "Yankees" during the estab lishment of athletic relations be tween the two colleges of two na THE PENN - STATE COLLEGIAN Starzdarcl Lau ridry The Stia,cle Laundry.
