WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30, 1019 CAMPUS SINGING Now that the college is rapidly returning to normal conditions, it is only proper that peace-time customs should be again lived up to With the resumption of college activities, immediately after the disbanding of the S. A. T. C, all customs regarding Freshmen and the student body in general went into effect. These rulings are compulsory, but there are some which do not come under this class, but which are lived up to because they are traditional. One of these is the time-honored custom of campus singing. This has been neglected in the past several years because of the war and other reasons, and there is grave danger of its being forgotten entirely. For the benefit of those who do not know what "campus singing" means, we shall say that it is a meeting of the entire student body on the front campus once or twice a week, at which time college songs are sung. In the past interest wus.usuallly kept alive by the Seniors who are responsible in a measure for the carrying on of the tradition. Old graduates are unanimous in their praise of the custom, for the part it plays in the memories of those men who in a few weeks will leave behind their college life is not to be underestimated; and the practical benefit derived both by the old and the new men in keeping alive the college songs is highly valuable. In this connection it is safe to say that the majority of the Freshmen, as well as many upperclassmen are unable to sing all the verses of "Blue and White", "Victory", College Medley", "Pennsylvania State", and "Hail, Penn sylvania State" without refermg to copies of these songs. The following quotation, token Irom an editorial in the COL LEGIAN three years ago, tells why this custom should not be allowed to die "No doubt the reasons for the campus singing are purely sentimental. There is a note of inspiring fellowship, binding together the student and the college, which is found only in the old college songs; and there is perhaps nothing more immediately ef fective in resuscitating in the alumnus memories of the old college days than the hearing or the singing of his college songs " Of course, in order to make this affair a success, it is necessary not only to start the ball rolling but to keep it rolling. In former years, Mr. C. C. Robinson, director of the department of music, lend in the carrying on of the movement, since he is absent this year, however, it would 'be advisable for the college glee club, the 'varsity qbartet, or some other musical organization to take the lead in making this singing a success. It is not only worth trying, but it is Penn State's duty to revive and carry on that which was so suc cessfully executed in the past. . VOTE FOR THE HONOR AAIENDNIENTS Before the next issue of the COLLEGIAN appears, it is probable that the amendments to the Honor System, proposed shortly before the Easter vacation, will have been presented to the student body for approval or rejection. Should such be the case, the COLLEGIAN wishes to take this opportunity to impress upon each man what his duty will be at that time. These amendments have as their primary object the strengthening of the Honor System. In the past, the system, unfortunately, has not been as strong as it might have been. Two obstacles have ap parently stood in the way The first of these was the manner of re porting suspected parties. Heretofore, a man was warned before being reported, but under the new amendment, lie will receive no warning whatsoever, but his case will immediately be carried to the Honoi Committee, so that he may never know who it was that brought him to trial. The amendment dealing with this, which will take the place of Article I, Section 5, reads as follows: "If a student de• feels tiny dishonesty in a quiz or examination, the attention of at least one other person shall be called to this matter, and then the case shall be carried to the Honor Committee, which shall conduct an investigation into the same." The second obstacle which prevented the smooth working of the system has been the degree of punishment administered. In pre vious times, a convicted man, no matter whether his offence were heavy or light, was suspended for one year; the Honor Committee had no leeway whatsoever. The new amendment, which will give true justice to anyone found guilty, is as follows: "Upon the first conviction of dishonesty, it shall be the duty of the Honor Committee to determine and transmit to the executive of the college the specific punishment to be meted out to the offender, this punishment not to exceed one year of suspension from-college." Nothing more ought to be said. The Honor System needs you; Penn State needs the Honor System. Let every man do his duty and when the amendments come up, vote "YES." "GENTLEMEN (?) FIRST' The same old thing—gentlemen (?) first, then ladies—occurred at the Lemont trains when the students returned from the Easter vacation. On Tuesday evening, the girls were fortunate enough to come to State College on the first autos, but this was due entirely to the fact that there were enough busses to accomodate all. On Wednesday morning, however, it was quite different. We wonder if it is realized: that every car at Lemont made three trips, some four, that morning, and that the very last auto up brought girls; that the train arrived at Lemont at about nine o'clock, and that the last auto reached town at ten-thirty, so that some women students were com pelled to wait almost an hour and n half before securing transportation. It seems that affairs, judging from the past, will never change for the better. Certainly they will not, if left to themselves., It was suggested recently that special cars be reserved for the women. This plan is entirely feasible. The Council of Administration, the faculty, or the Student Council could take charge of this matter in the future and make all necessary arrangements. Such a plan will not do harm and will surely do no end of good. SHALL WE SUPPORT THE TRACK TEAM? The showing made by the 'varsity track tenet at the Penn Relays held last Friday and Saturday in Philadelphia was gratifying to say the least and the COLLEGIAN feels that the team should be congrat ulated on its success there. Handicapped by injuries to several of the men and the uncertain and inclement weather which has made practice almost impossible at times, the team failed to place in but two of the events in which it had been entered. The send-off, however, which the team experienced when it left on Friday noon was one of the poorest which has been seen at Penn State for a long time. Many of us fail to realize that the showing Editor A.lxtant rilllor _iVo.muen E'dltot I=l Buslam Manager _Atl, et lining and Circulation Manager which a team made on a foreign field and the attitude with which that team entered the contest is largely dependent upon the send-off which the student body gives it. We have reason to feel proud of our track team and the student body should give the track team ample reason to feel proud of it, but this cannot be obtainod in the face of such poor support as was seen last Friday. Let's turn out and support the track team as a major sport should be supported and show the team that we are back of it to a man. ELECTED TO STAFF It is with great pleasure that the COLLEGIAN announces the election of H. S. Davis '2l to the staff as an associate editor. Another thing was quite noticeable in the transportation from Lemont to State College last week. This was the excellent road between the two places and the exceedingly poor one within the borough limits. College avenue, from one end of town to the other is filled with holes and we would suggest that the borough council give this matter attention. The debaters are to be commended for the excellent manner in which they won out, despite all handicaps, in the debate with Colgate. There will be another debate this coming Friday night, when every student is urged to turn out and support the_team in its contest with the Lafayette orators.
