WHAT KIND OF PENN STATE MAN ARE YOU?
There has been considerable talk this fall of n revival of .the old
Penn State Spirit among the members of the student body. It is freely
admitted that there is an urgent need for such a revival and that the
sooner it conies, the better it will be for Penn State But has the old
spirit been revived as yet' , IT HAS NOT ,
When a bunch of Sophomores and upperclassmen sit in the stands
and do nothing but laugh at the players and criticize their work, it is
almost time for drastic action. Penn State is fast developing into a
strong member of the PANNER'S LEAGUE and the toleration of
such criticism proves conclusively that the old spirit has not been re
vived. In the days when there was a real PENN STATE SPIRIT, such
action on the part of a few individuals would have precipitated a riot
in a struggle to lay hands on the offender.
The COLLEGIAN is in favor of appointing a committee of about
200 upperclassmen who have the right ideals and alio low Penn State
to take posts throughout the stands and to eject anyone who holds
the team up to ridicule of who sees fit to criticize. Nest time YOU
want to criticize, ask you:self why you are not out there giving your
best to your Alma Mater like the men on the squad. PENN STATE
SPIRIT? Bah , where is 10 We want to be shown,
BEWARE OF T. N. E
There is an organization at Penn State which is known as T. N E.—
Theta Nu Epsilon. While it goes under the name of a national organs•
cation and claims to be a chapter thereof, it is nevertheless very doubt
ful whether its claims would be substantiated. It holds its meetings
clandestinely, it works in the dark, it refuses to come out into the
open, and if there is any mean, underhand work going on which is
detrimental to the best interests of Penn State, it is a safe bet that
T. N E. is at the bottom of it
Last 'ear:extreme efforts were. made to stamp out its exissence
and its members decided for the tune being that they had better "lie
low" Certain occurrences in the immediate past, however, have indi
cated that the organization intends to try to "come back" this year.
To the entire student body and especially to the new men, warning is
hereby given to beware of T N E, never to consider membership in
it nor any other similar organization, and if any one has already been
inveigled, either under true or false pretenses, to become a member,
to get out of it in the shortest possible order.
Many years ago faculty action ruled T. N C out of Penn State
and it has never been recognized since It has nevertheless continued
to ekist sub rose and if there is such a thing as college Bolshevism,
then T. N. E. is that malady in its worst form Were the organization
worth while, it would surely be recognized by the college authorities
along with the other societies and fraternities It is a very dangerous
thing, therefore, to belong to any such unrecognized organization.
In order to know lust how Penn State's student body regards T.
N E, it may be well to hear in mind that.
The six honorary societies of Penn State, namely Lion's Paw,
Skull and Bones, Parmi Nous, Sphinx, Druids, and Friars, will refuse
to admit or keep any student who is a member of, or who is suspected
of being affiliated with T N. E., o. any similar organization.
Student Council will not permit any known past or present mem
bers of T N E or similar organization, to serve on any of the
student governing bodies, namely. Student Board, Student Council,
Student Tribunal, and Honorary Committee
The national and local social and honorary fraternities of Penn
State will expel I mom then membership any who are affiliated with
T. NE, or similar organization _ . .
And finally, the Faculty Comritttee on Student Publications and
Social Activities will suspend from college any student discovered to
be connected with T N E, or similar organization, which exists con
trary to the ruling of the college.
There have been numerous c ises in the past and there will be
more in the future whet° students who have been engaged in college
activities have failed to be elected io fraternities or honorary societies,
simply because they hod been or were connected with T. N. E. Taking
all in all into consideration, mentherslup in such an organization, or
similar one, is a costly proposition, which nil must shun.
It scarcely scents possible in these post-war days, when Penn State
is bending every effort toward reconstruction and when her prospects
for the future seem so bright, that there are certain of her students,
who arc narrow enough, bigoted enough, and so deep in the mire, that
they are members of an orgrinizatton which is betiding every effort to
destroy that which the alma truster is striving to attain.
SUGGESTED NEEDS
The crowded state of affairs in town has brought to light the need
of improvements along certain lines. When large numbers of stu
dents line up and wait in relays to be served in the restaurants, is it
not time for wide-nwake citizens to seriously consider the proposition
of opening more public eating houses?,
And when the rooming conditions of the town are such that many
students were unable to find snows for several days and is large number
in fact returned to their homes, while over five hundred were refused
admission to the college for the same reason, is it not time for the gov
ernmental authorities of the State of Pennsylvania to take action and
give this college a sufficient appropriation for buildings, which will
prevent a recurrence of similar conditions in the future?
It is to be regretted that the buildings appropriation for the next
two years is so small, for it means that Penn State must remain in a
stationary position for two yea's, while other institutions of educa
tion will be on the advance.
And right here we might state that the crowded rooming con
ditions do not seem to be any reason for certain townspeople to be
charging three to five dollars a week per student for lodging. Cer
tainly the cost of keeping roomers has not advanced to such a degree
as to warrant the charging of such an exhorbitant price.
CHALKING SIDEWALKS
The chalking of sidewalks ns n means of advertising is again
coming Into prominence. It seems, however, that this method appears
just as untidy ns the custom Inst year of posting signs on every avail-
able tree on the campus and then allowing them to be torn down
eventually by the elements.
Two years ago Student Council took action intended to discourage
the chalking of sidewalks and buildings with notices of minor im
portance. At that time a motion was passed placing Council on record
ns being opposed to the use of chalk on sidewalks and the steps of
college buildings ior the advertising of nnything that did not directly
refer to class, athletic or general college business. This step was
taken in an attempt to eliminate the excessive advertising of that kind
by numerous county clubs and societies
There are at the present time a number of bulletin boards for the
posting of such notices, and if these arc not sufficient the college will
undoubtedly gladly provide more. Clean sidewalks and signless trees
add much to the beauty of the campus
