The "Red and
Social Blue", of Pennsyl
Dissipation vania, is moved to
lengthy comment on
what it terms "social dissipation a
Pennsylvania", ranking this term, in
the academic world, much the
same as "special privilege" or "lace
suicide" in the country at large.
The problem must be particularly
vexing in this case from the loca
tion of the university in a large city
where there is every inducemen
for frivolous occupation
The editorial reads, in part, as
follows: "Too much of what
should be tLe sacred leisure of the
college is devoted to secular dudes:
social obligations. Of course by
leisure, idleness is not meant or an
otiose academic existence given
over entirely to bookishness, but a
period kept free. from the exactions
of society and the outside world.
There are four years of opportuni-
ties in the average college course
for investigation and study of the
cultural side of life. Perhaps never
again will the chance be offered for
serious, unbiased scrutiny o
science, literature or history, and i
the opportunities are to be squand
ered for baubles, the process might
better be carried on at home.
Surely the spending of the stu
dent's time and the father's money
at home would leave the real pur-
pose of university life untrammeled
for those who are seriogs and for
those who can withstand the para-
sitic interests that surround the
present day college life."
Social dissipation should be, and,
we hope, is less of a problem at
Penn State because of the location
of the college in the free, open
country, remote from metropolitan
influence, and conducive to the best
that is in a man. However, it must
be admitted that even here there
are many things to turn the stu
dent's mind from his work. In
many cases the old theory, "Never
let your class work interfere with
your college education" is altogeth
er too much in evidence. The many
important events of this fall have
made time pass so that one can
hardly realize that the first semester
is more than half over. It remains
for the approaching final examina
tions to effectively check social
dissipation at Penn State.
"Froth", the col-
"Froth" lege comic publica-
Development tion, has been in ex
istence for several
years, but this year its management
is, for the first time developing a
definite and permanent circulation,
thus making possible a regular
monthly issue. Penn State stu
dents have supported "Froth" in
its old form and they will be able
to do even more for it in its new
appearance—the college needs the
publication and, in fact, all colleges
have similar periodicals.
With enthusiastic support,
"Froth" will have opportunities for
even greater development—its
makeup is always pleasing, its staff
always made up of capable men.
The project now being developed
should by all means receive hearty
co-operation from the college stu
dents.
The two lower class are
Class to be commended for the
Spirit tine spirit of friendly
rivalry which was evident
at last week's two class scraps, both
between the contesting athletes and
between the main bodies of lower
classmen in their cheering sections.
The class yells were given with
great unity and enthusiasm, and the
most sportsmanlike conduct
prevailed.
There have been some who have
argued that if the old hazing re
gime should be abolished, the old
class spirit would disappear also.
Experience with 1916 and 1917
this year has fairly disproved this
statement. Never before in the
history of class scraps and athletic
contests has there been keener
rivalry, greater struggles or better
sportsmanship—a condition far bet
ter than one of actual vindictiveness
which, it is feared, has existed be
tween classes in days gone by.
Yet it has been shown even now
that class spirit may be carried too
far; that there are such things as
poor winners as well as poor
losers. Any occurrence, such as a
general melee on the athletic field
after a game, even if amusing and
partly good-natured, seems a "lit-
tle too much"
Moreover, any unofficial victory
celebration, when it has to do with
destruction or defacement of
private property, for which no re
compense is intended to be made
is an abuse of class spirit. There
are legitimate celebrations, as, for
example, a bon-fire after a varsity
l ictory, when material is furnished
by the college and when, if
property is destroyed, damages
are promptly paid; but college
custom hardly justifies wilful de
facement of private property by
thoughtless individuals.
The bulletin board,
Bulletin which was placed at the
Board "co-op corner" by stud
ent action last year has
not been used as much as it might
be. The board is really a great
convenience, if regularly used. Its
object is to give notice of the time

Football Men's Outing
Upon suggestion of the coaches
the football men on the training
table took a trip to the Old Fort
last Sunday for dinner. After ap
peasing their hunger they all visited
Penn's Cave and were initiated into
the mysteries of that historic cav
ern. The outing was planned to
offer the men a little diversion from
football and at the same time afford
them a little pleasure. All the
varsity were present except Captain
Miller and Tobin who were out of
town.
Professor T. I. Mairs and Mr. W.
R. White, together with Mr. H. R.
Austin, Centre County Secretary,
have been giving a series of illus
trated lectures under the auspices
of the County Y. M. C. A.
