WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1917 News Editor For This Issue PROPER PUNISHMENT Overzealousness and a probable feeling of anxiety in thoroughly carrying out their delayed work, together with the newness and novelty attached to the beginning of its assigned duties have been im portant factors in leading the Student Tribunal slightly out of its boundaries during the past few weeks. While there is a possibility for error in these statements, we nevertheless feel that some improvement to the better satisfaction of all concerned can be attained by that judi cial body, it is also evident that there has been plenty of evidence presented to the members of the Tribunal that a thorough organiza tion must be affected at once, not only its their trials, but more par ticularly in the carrying out of their sentences Practically the same thing happens every year in all college organ izations in the transference of duties from an old to a new body of directors. A lesson must be learned, and the Tribunal has had ample time to see the importance and responsibility of its position. We feel that this has been satisfactorily accomplished and look to that body to continue its work in the future with great credit to itself and Penn State There has been no little comment about the campus during the past week upon the methods used in punishing those who deliberately violate the customs of the college that have been handed down from generation to generation of classes. Without any doubt, these offend ers should receive full and just punishment from those who live up to the standards of Penn State, and whom the offenders openly insult and belittle through their actions. But, taken all in all, we believe that more satisfactory and efficient methods could and should be em ployed by the student government. Such punishments that openly lower the standing of the college to a preparatory school level should be discouraged immediately. While they may be effective, they fail to raise the opinion of visitors with regard to the ideals of Penn State. Members of the Tribunal have a great responsibility resting upon their shoulders. It is their double duty to give offenders a fair trial and to see that their sentences are properly carried out. This last duty is one that cannot be emphasized too much. If the Tribunal itself is unable to do this duty alone, only such persons that are abso lutely necessary to the fulfillment of the program should be allowed to participate. A repetition of the "mob scene" of ten days ago is to be avoided. Extended "decoration" of offenders which has characterized most of the punishment for the past two years is favored by some, but rightfully opposed by others. In all events, it is doubtful if that method really has its intended effect. There are some individuals who would actually glory in being singled out and made prominent figures about the campus through that medium. Yet there are others who will live in self-shame for the balance of their lives because of thought less punishment being inflicted upon them. A few evenings a week, with special public demonstration, should cover this method well enough, if it is thought too good to abandon entirely. But to inflict a man with an entire week of "prep" school ideas of torture is entirely out of place at Penn State. To us, the man upon whom an unsightly head covering was thrust all of last week, is a here, and deserved great credit for standing up under such personal degradation—the re sult of a petty offense. Can we not have a reversion to the old, quietly accomplished methods of punishment, properly supervised by members of the Tribu nal and such students that are personally requested to assist them? Some new ideas can surely be supplied if the old methods are impos sible. As a suggestion along this line we might offer the public apology for infraction of college rules We feel that nothing would cut a man deeper, nor cause him to fear the breaking of college customs more than to be forced to stand up in front of the student body in mass meeting, and with bowed head, humbly apologize for committing an offense. It would bring mental shame and torture so vividly to the front as to cause all who heard it to resolve then and there to live up to every one of the well laid rules of the college. These customs are established for excellent reasons, and it is only proper that offenders be promptly singled out and punished. A GREAT TRUTH There is great truth in the statement that it is no disgrace for a college football team to lose its games this year, which was made in the very recent statements of one of the country's foremost sporting writers The statement was made in view of the fact that most col leges have sent their best athletes ino Uncle Sam's srvice, and that football teams in general have suffered most from this cause. On cvery side one has heard of the famous college football men who have sacrificed their careers to enter one branch of the National service or another. At Penn State there has been no exception to the rule. All the more glory is piled on the heads of the fighting men who compose Penn State's gridiron machine when this fact is brought clearly home. This college certainly has given its share of men to the service, and it is well to note that a goodly percentage of the vol unteers has been made up of men of athletic ability. The problem that faced the football coaches at the beginning of the year was greater than we can even now realize. With only three letter men and a great fighting spirit to start with, Penn State is accomplishing deeds of no small imporfrance. Another hard fight is ahead of the football team this week. With all its fighting ability Penn State's team must have better student support. One day last week the entire student body at Lehigh quietly assembled and marched in a body to the practice field and surprised the players with a demonstration that would make any team fight to the last ditch. Their term will come here on Saturday with that spirit back of it, and the Blue and White will be forced to its limit to over come great odds. in every mass meeting this year the students have been urged to get up to the practice field and encourage the players, vet the results in this line have been almost negligible. Give the team 'something to fight for! A PENN STATE DAY. Penn State will be at her best next Saturday. Just as other col leges and universities observe their "Founder's Day," so will Penn State celebrate her Pennsylvania Day. This day has been set aside each year so that such citizens of the State who so desire, may come here and see the great work that is being conducted for the ultimate well-being of the Commonwealth. To all visitors, we extend on the part of the student body, a most hearty welcome, and trust that your visit here will enlighten you in many respects as to the alms and ideals of Penn State. Next to Commencement, this day will be the biggest event of the year, and although we are somewhat handicapped by conditions in gneral, the spirit of the occasion is still with us and we hope to bring this celebration up to all standards set in the past. We are indeed sorry that thehcief executive of the Commonwealth is unable to be with us this year, but with other well known men who are expected, this Pennsylvania Day should be made to equal all previous observ ances at Penn State. Let every student co-operate in making this the "biggest day ever." A. R. Lolnbach 'l9 ME= The COLLEGIAN wishes to call attention to the canvass being made of the student body and faculty in the sale of tickets for the winter entertainment course conducted by the Y. M. C. A. and the Department of Music. It seems unnecessary to urge this matter upon our readers, as all who were here last year are acquainted with the excellent character of the entertainments provided. The price of admission has been lowered as far as possible and, with the easy terms provided, there can be practically no one who is not able to secure a ticket on account of financial reasons. The first number of the series alone is worth the full price of the whole course, as the quality and worth of the Russian Symphony Orchestra is undoubted. .. Business .Manager Advertising Nanngsr G. V. Glatfelter 'l9 Unnecessary blame was attached by many students of Penn State last week on the Philadelphia newspapers for not carrying a report on the Wesleyan football game As a matter of fact, every news paper in that city had placed an order during the day with the college news editor for a report of the game, and it is entirely the fault of the telegraph company that no accounts of the game were printed in Sunday papers. A "clear" wire could not be gained until about S o'clock on the evening of the day the game was played, and because of a series of relays the material did not reach the newspaper offices until too late for publication in the early editions that are sent to State College.
