A FAIR DEAL
It has been one of the boasts of Penn State men that they stand
for a square deal, in college, out of college, in athletics or in the
common every day life ol the campus. Fair play has been fostered
at this institution until our reputation for such is known far out
side the limits of the college. Visiting teams are always sure of a
line reception at State College and they always leave with a feeling
of friendliness.
However, for some unknown reason, there base been evidences this
year of a reversal of form'at Penn State. Whether it is due to the
careless roughness of the S. A. T C period or to a lowering of the
character of the student bodyat is hard to determine, though we
prefer to believe that it is the former Undoubtedly there is some
thing wrong in the attitude of some of the students, probably in a
large measure due to thoughtlessness.
Attention has already been called to the remarks and poor sports
manship which has been evident at ninny of the basketball gnmes and
at the wrestling meet with Penn However, the action of the past
week when on two consecutive evenings certain groups of students
"rushed" the movies, should certainly meet with the condemnation of
all fair-minded members of the student body.
Fortunately, lithe damage wns done on either evening, but this
wns more good luck titan anything else. Moreover, in an affair of
this kind, there is always the danger of injury to the women and
children, not to mention the slight annoyance which is unused. And
can this action by any chance be interpreted as fair play? The COL
LEGIAN feels that it cannot The management of the theatre has
been abstlutely fair to the students and what is more, we have been
fortunate in seeing only the best and most recent pictures—some
thing of which few college towns can boast.
The rush on Wednesday night seemed to be wholly a Freshman
affair and it was apparently due to a mistaken idea among some of
thefrst-year ,men that they ,can get away with, things of this kind.
The action on' the previous evening, however, seems to be far less ex
cusable It is almost time that upperclassmen should at least try to
protect the good name of the college and set a better example to
Freshmen, and any act such as the one in question is- a reflection
upon esery member of thin student body.
Penn State should have no time for a reversion to rough-neck
tactics and no place for those who persist in violating all of the rules
of fail play Rowdyism is not a sign of college spirit, as some would
have us believe, nor is it a cloak for gentlemen College men are
supposed to be the latter, particularly Penn State-men. And can we
new c pect a fair deal if sin do not give one? Think it over.
THIS IS THE TIME
Since the COLLEGIAN first advocated the plan of erecting a
Social Hall as a memorial to the boys from Penn State who have
served and died in the great war, similar plans have been taken up
at many other colleges and in nearly every case, they are meeting
with enthusiastic support The broadening of the original plan to
include a gymnasium and thus make the building an enormous Union
is also right in line with the view of other colleges, and no less than
three institutions are contemplating just such a memorial.
And lest it appear as though the idea has been forgotten at Penn
State, it might not be amiss to state that at the present time a com
mittee composed of faculty members and students is at work on the
pi oposition and that plans for a campaign will probably be evolved
very soon. A meeting was held on Washington's Birthday when
several pi ominent alumni were present and the plan was discussed
from all angles.
The question as to whether it is better to attempt to put up a
Union or to limit the memorial idea to a Social Flail is one that has
caused considerable discussion, and the prevailing sentiment seems
to be that it all efforts were centered on putting the Social Hall
across, some other means might be provided for obtaining the gym
nasium. Flowerer, one point which is universally agreed' to is that
the time to act is now This is the psychological moment if we are
ever to erect the memorial which everyone seems to desire.
The COLLEGIAN believes that if a money-getting campaign is
begun this spring, emphasized at Commencement,-and carried through
the summer, that by nest fall it is more than probable that build.
mg plans can be gotten under way Any campaign of this nature
least be short and intensive, not long drawn out, and if there is a
goal in sight, such as the building itself within a year or so, the cam
paign will be more enthusiastically received both by students and by
alumni.
Thu Senior Class has already expressed itself in favor of the idea
by appointing a committee to consider the starting of the fund as
the customary class memorial, and it is almost assured that the
graduating classes of the past two years will be only too glad of an
opportunity to turn the money for their memorials into the same
land. That will.give the nucleus for further action and the COL
LEGIAN believes that once the ball is started, there will be plenty
of help to keep it rolling But now is the time, and if we fail to act,
the opportunity will never present itself again.
BOXING AS A SPORT
doing is gradually coming to the front at Penn State and un
doubtedly several intercollegiate meets will be arranged for next
year. Enough interest and enthusiasm have been manifested the past
few weeks, both by spectators and candidates, that it is safe to say
this sport will occupy a prominent place in Penn State's future
athletics.
While boxing has been more or less popular. the past several
years, it was not until the War Department recently made the re
quest to have it introduced into colleges and universities that it as
sumed its present prominence here It is a fact worthy of more than
passing notice, that, of the several hundred institutions of higher
limning in the country, Penn State has been one of the first to
carry out the suggestion of the government.
Under the leadership and coaching of "Dick" Harlow, a large
number of students has engaged in this sport, and though inexper
ienced, they have shown the .proper Spirit in their willingness to

learn. Certainly it is no more than right that this sport should'be
supported and encouraged by the entire student body in order that
it may be given n fair trial at Penn State.
Penn Stole is indeed fortunate in having been selected as the
location for the Intercollegiate Wrestling Championships which will
be held the latter part of this month. Although the baby member
of the league, the Blue and White institution was unanimously
elected to stage the bouts this year, and it is a particular honor by
of the fact thnt'we overwhelmingly won the championahip last
year. Teams will be here from Penn, Lehigh, Cornell, Columbia
and Princeton and it is also expected that many visitors will be on
hand for the bouts. It is up to Penn State to entertain these visit
ing athletes as only Penn State does know how to entertain and to
show them every courtesy while they are here: And it might be well
to add, that despite the reverses of the past two weeks, we have con
fidence that Coach Yergcr's men will more than uphold the reputa
tion of the Blue and White when the championships occur.
And we hereby want to take off our hats to Mr. Hugo Bezdek
and his basketball team! After what promised to be a poor
start on the first eastern trip, the team finally found itself and there
have been nothing but victories recorded since. It is unfortunate that
the Penn and Lafayette games came so early in the season, for we be
lieve that the result might have been vastly different had the teat•
played like they did last week against the sailors. No one can den)
that the season was a success and the COLLEGIAN extends congrat
ulations to the team and to its popular conch.
