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

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.
