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.

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

fallen to the lot of the Glee Club.
Sunday evening concerts, numbers

receptions and various meetings

The men who devoted their time to

with complimentary tickets for the
Commencement concert. This year
a new leader has brought greater

the hopes of any at the beginning
of the year —Penn State is soon
