WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 1018 THE CUSTOMARY GOAT During the past several weeks, apparently unfounded rumors have been flying about the campus, tending to prove the old saying that good deeds are never appreciated. Unfortunately, when a series of deplorable events happens to occur, they are all blamed upon the same source, and the said source is expected to assume all responsi bility. In other words, it is customary to always look around for a "goat" to bear the brunt of the blame. Apparently, the "Stick-Together Committee" at Penn State has been officially elected "goat" for all the unfortunate incidents that have been happening during the past month. This committee, which includes no less than six members of the Student Council, was ap pointed to carry on a campaign to retain the effects of the "Get- I ogether Movement," and it has been doing so by means of a series of events—one each week—which the students have been urged to attend. Now, lo and behold , The noble "goat" steps forward to receive its burden. the "Stick-Together Committee" is the cause of the apparent failure of the Honor System because it keeps the students out so late that they cannot study and have to "crib!" The committee is the cause of the state of unrest that seems to prevail among the students! The committee is to blame for the undue amount of re, volver shooting that is going on about town , The committee is at tempting to compete with the movies! These are just a few of the sins that hive been laid at the door of the members of the "Stick 'l °gather Committee" Foolishness, you say! Of course it is. But such rumors must have some source and unfortunately they spread very rapidly. How is the committee causing the breaking of the Honor System? As has already been said, only one event is held each week, and the affair is always over by 930 P. M. We believe that the majority of the students de not study very much before that hour under ordinary circumstances. Far from being responsible for the shooting, the members of the committee have tried to discourage it. If there is a state of great unrest, there are far more important reasons for it than the "Stick-Together Campaign." As for competing with the movies, the committee does not nor has it ever intended to do such a thing. The sole purpose of fhe campaign is to keep up the old Penn State spirit which was aroused by the former movement, and the various events have been planned with that end in view. The members of the committee have given up quite a lot of their time in order to make the campaign a success, and it does scorn a little unfair to them to blame them for things over which they have absolutely no control. SOPHOMORES, CHOOSE WISELY! At the next meeting of the Sophomore class which will probably take place some time this week, elections are to be held for officers to lead the class through its Junior year at Penn State. In last week's issue, the names of the candidates for each office were printed and without a doubt, the nominees are all good men who would do their best for their class and for Penn State. - . . But it is to be hoped that the Sophomores will realize the gravity of this election and will choose their officers wisely. The importance of the Junior president is perhaps only exceeded toy that of the Senior executive, and in filling this office, the class should select a steady, reliable, conscientious man—one who will be forceful enough to live up to the ideals of Penn State. Moreover, the Junior president is the organizing officer of the incoming Freshman class and in this capacity, he shoulu show the qualities of leadership that will inbulcate in the hearts of the Freshmen a love of their Alma Mater. This election is indeed important, and the Sophomores should not consider it lightly. A PATRIOTIC ACTION The tine spirit of Penn State in the war was exemplified last v,cek when • the Senior class decided to invest the money for their class memorial in United States Government Liberty Bonds in order to help this country in its struggle for democracy. Such action is indeed commendable and it reflects honor not only on the Seniors but on Penn State. The class of 1917 and the present Senior class had planned to co-operate and leave a joint memorial to the college,-but with the entrance of the United States into the war last spring, the former class determined to invest their Stale "of the memorial in Liberty Bonds. With the connrination of the war this year, it is only fitting and proper that the 1018 class should follow their example. At the conclusfOre - of the-war, the bonds can be redeemed and it will then t — iime enough to erect the memorial. Meanwhile, the money is being used to a far better purpose. Every Penn State man should feel proud of the seven mon who have represented the Blue and White on the wrestling mat during the past season. Through their efforts, Penn State stands at the pinnacle of intercollegiate wrestling for the year 1918, so far above the nearest rival that there is not the least doubt of her superiority. To the six new intercollegiate champions, to the man whom injury undoubtedly dcrrived of the title, and to the man who coached the successful team, we extend the sincere congratulations of the Penn State student body. The new ruling that it is hoped to incorporate into the Fresh man customs, providing that all Freshmen must speak to each other when they pass, cannot fail to be appreciated by the students of Penn State. .1t is almost a certainty that a habit acquired in the Freshman year will be continued during the balance of a man's course, and we believe that such a habit would go a long way toward eliminating the need of a "get-together" movement. We suppose that when spring rolls around and the spirit of that season is in the air, that it is only natural for the Sophomores to want to initiate the Freshmen into the time-worn custom of "packing soot." Provision has been made against indiscriminate hazing, and this form of amusement would certainly come under that head, but as it Is done every year, we suppose that it must be tolerated. However, it seems a s:utme that men of the upper classes must belittle themselves by be coming ring -leaders in the moven:mall As.l.tant Editor G. 8. Wylcuft '2O =MEM L L Stewiert '2l E.

March 23, 1918 Lditor, Tho COLLEOTAN, In the letter to you from "Girls' Das ketboll," printed In last week's paper, I still fail to see any concrete reason for the girls being qualified to receive the regular interclass numerals as accorded to the men They go so far as to quote sections from the A. A. consti tution regarding "Requirements far Numeral Awards," but cannot point out any reference there to the awarding of numerals to girls. There Is no argu ment to It The provisions there men tion the "Senior or Junior basketball squad," and "Sophomore or Freshman basketball squad," saying absolbtely nothing as to awards to girls. To give the girls numerals In any sport would require some statement to that effect In these regulartlons. It must be there before any additional nu merals can be awarded There ore only tae solutions to the matter: either change the wording of the numeral reg ulations, or, as suggested In the COL LEGIAN last week, have the girls make their own regulation. In their Athletic Association, and award their own nu mends, to be distinctice from those worn hi the men There le not so much objection to the women wearing numer als, as there in to the kind of numerals they would wear Engineering News P.
