Member of Kus'ern Intercollegiate Newspaper Association FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1923 News Editor this Issue LATEST EDICTS OF A SMALL TOWN A phrase, "cow-college stuff/' was popularized last year at Penn State when it was used in an editorial of the COLLEGIAN to describe undesirable practices which were prevalent at that time. Rowdyism was rife in the Armory at indoor athletic contests in the form of cat calls to boon companions located at a distance and in loud remarks and demonstrations made upon the entrance of colorful female visit- But, the wheels of fashion turn. Even the rabble tires of one form of amusement, especially if that amusement is of tow order, just as college-stripe neckties and bell-bottom trousers are bound to be doomed by the decree of fashion, so the use of the cat-call has dimin ished to an infinitesimal point with the passing of time. Unfortunately we still have with us the disgusting "ah’s” and whistles when one of the fairer sex enters the Armory, and other small town customs have arisen to replace those no longer tolerated. The last development in commonplace entertainment for occu pants of the Armory before contests and during intermissions was that of tossing coins to the floor where awaiting urchins scrambled for them. Probably one youth at college thought of this during an idle moment and introduced the penny-throwing stunt at the next indoor meet. Instantly, those seeking novelty followed their leader and at subsequent contests ail the unoriginal and faithful followers of the smart set engaged in increasing the shower of money thrown to the Armory floor. Happily, this last diversion of the rank and file has come to an end, but not until an accident occurred when a player slipped on a coin which had escaped the searching eyes of the young sters. But, a greater fault remains. To mistake the singing of the Alma Mater for an exit march is un forgivable even for the most uncouth small town student. Neither is the singing of this song an indication that the point on the program has been reached when one should rush to the center of the floor in order to don an outer garment before going out of doors. Disre spectful as these practices are they seem to be among the latest edicts that one should follow, even though they break all traditions. The Alma Mater is not to be treated so lightly. When this song of loyalty falls into "disrespect, we can understand why other long-cherished cus toms have been violated. We now wonder what practice will arise to take the place of coin throwing. An idle man is one who is likely to get into mischief and we suggest that every precaution be taken to avoid further demon strations which should be typical only of uneducated communities. More singing of college songs will keep the students occupied in the long period before the contests and during the intermissions. A Spirit Week as announced in the report of the Student Council meeting in other columns of this issue, is to be held shortly when every student will be enlisted to aid in the enforcement of all Penn State customs and- in the creation of a better college spirit. Before that time arrives, let us take every effort to banish all practices typical of a small town so that we may start the week with a clean slate. YOUR STUDENT COUNCIL When, in the course of college events, your Student Council is not able to function as it should, some drastic measures should be taken. Are you aware of the fact that your Student Council is hampered in its functions because a quorum has failed to appear at many of the regularly scheduled meetings of this body? We do not wish to depreciate the work that the Student Council is doing, for it is of the highest order and has as its basis the welfare of the students. The body has accomplished much this year in spite of obstacles. Those loyal members who are ever-present at the sessions of the organization, representing the students to the best of their ability, deserve praise. They have completed much work of investiga tion and have suggested many helpful remedies for existing conditions but often official action cannot be taken in reports because of the absence of irresponsible members. A councilman has been elected by his classmates to represent them and it should be his solemn duty to attend all meetings. He has a trust to fill with his constituents and they have the right to demand that he perform his duties. You, as a student, can aid the work of Student Council in a num ber of ways. When nominations and elections for the Council come up at our class meetings, see that responsible men are given these re sponsible positions. If a candidate is up for re-election, investigate his record as a member and act accordingly. Maintain an active in terest in Student Council and show your representatives that you are interested. Lastly, let your representatives know that it is your Student Council and they must attend meetings to represent you. > MUSIC HATH ITS CHARMS When the band emerges from the catacombs of Old Main this Sunday afternoon to play the second concert of the complimentary winter series being given by the various musical organizations of. the college we have no-doubt that a large audience will greet its appear ance. Music should have its charms, especially for the college trained man and woman. Excellent music is in store for those who will attend these'weekly concerts. The quality of the first program given last Sunday by the Girls and Men s Glee Clubs was of the highest and a capacity audience was well pleased, thus auguring well for the numbers to come. The interest of the general student body in these programs is com mendable. Those attending musicales are amply repaid not only in enjoyment during the actual moments sent there but also in the growth of a love and appreciation of music in its higher forms.

They have been successful in the past ! and there is every indication that they will meet with more approval than ever this year. The service of such programs in giving the stud ents an opportunity to listen to good music is noteworthy.

Exit, Quartette to the tune of “Re juvenated Hot Lips.” Scene 11—Descriptive (Played on the organ, from which wej conclude the following:-) Ruth Less Lover is one of the most charming of all Penn State coyeddes. The boys call her Coe for short, because every day in every way she is getting j trickier and trickier. Men are glad to j take her to dances and hear all about j her wonderful gentleman friends, i While she is dancing to the tune of “Kiss Mama." she unobtrusively hums snatches of opera into her appreciative partner's ear. (The organist brings this out in a very clever manner.) In thej class room, Coe sits in the front seat, always taking that Bebc Daniels atti tude. She laughs at the instructor's jokes and sometimes winks at him, al ways by accident of course. After! class, she invariably tells him the great j benefit she is deriving from his lectures. walks along the street with open c lies and Wrigley’s continually, assuming the attitude of one who is posing for the scandal sheet of the North American. Scene lll—The Hospital—The Hero (Doctor and nurses gathered around the death bed of Will B. Foolish.) Dr. Ritonnuer—ls there any dying message which you want me to send lo your father? Will—Yes, say. "Dear Dad, no doubt you are worried once again about your beloved son since you jaw my picture in the Tatler dressed up Mke an Egyptian mummy. No father. I was not taking part in the Junior Prom when the picture was taken. I was simply badly mutilated in a mad rush which occurred near the Gym last week. You see dad, It was this way. Coach Cartmell said that the co-ed track team put up a better ap pearance than the varsity. He there fore made a call for second assistant managers for the female cinder artists. Well papa, the opportunity had come at last. You can hardly blame me for wishing to be manager of forty dimpled blond and brunette track stars, can you dad? Probably you do not know it. but the duty of track manager is to .keep his team in the pink of condition— rub the runnors down, feed them a good line etc., etc. Well dad, when the call was made you should have seen the rush —everybody In college dove like a drove of mad bulls to the gym where they ,wore to sign up. Of course I was in the mob. The doctor said that I came to one week later.” Your son, WILL B. FOOLISH P. S. —If Ruth Loss Love wins the Hamburger Stakes I will die happy. —Finis— A Rank Failure When Abraham Lincoln was a young .man he ran for the Legislature of Illi nois, and was defeated. « He next entered business; failed, and spent seventeen years of his life paying up the debts of a worthless partner. 1 Entering politics again, he ran for Congress, but was badly defeated. He then tried to get an appointment to the U. S.' Land Office, but failed. He then became a candidato for the U. S. Senate and was again defeated. ! In 1856 he became a candidate for the Vice-Presidency and was again defeat ed. In 1858 he was defeated by Douglass. Just one defeat after another! Fiz zle. failure and disappointment! Did you ever feel like that? Dia you ever score a failure? Remember 'Abraham Lincoln. He failed. DARTMOUTH GRADUATE WILLS HALF OF ESTATE TO COLLEGE Colonel F. L.
