A STEP WORTH WHILE
The Inter-Mural Council is the sponsor of a matter that might well
claim the attention of the entire student body and especially that of
the fraternities of the college. At the fast meeting of the Council, the
members discussed the extravagance of the annual Junior Prom as
regards the wearing of corsage bouquets In view of the action that
many western colleges and universities have taken and of the growing
sentiment in the student and faculty ranks criticising this practice,
it is well to give the proposition caielul consideration. . m -
For years past it has been the custom at the Junior Proms for the
ladles to wear bouquets during the earlier part of the affair' Due to
the nature ot the bouquets worn, they have been inconvenient and
soon were mutilated or else were removed for the time being. *A spirit
of competition has atisen among groups in purchasing these bouquets
until caution and common sense have had little influence in the ex
penditure involved A few have recognized the lolly of this needless
expense and have expressed themselves against it but the voice of
the majority has drowned out the feeble attempts of the conscientious
objectors This problem is not confined to Penn State alone but it is
being faced by institutions in other sections of the country. In a
great many cases, one single method has been employed to abolish
this extravagance, that is, responsible organizations have gone on
record disfavoring the use of bouquets at all-college dances
It will be remembered that the keynote of the address given by
President Thomas at the opening of the college year concerned the
expense of modern collegiate life At this time he spoke strongly
against those practices, found in the social life of the American stu
dent, and recommended that the undergraduate give them up. Inas
much as this movement was inaugurated at Penn State and since it
has found such fa\oi at home and abroad, it certainly must be worth
consideration at least
This is a problem that is not limited lnter-Mural Council
alondTitrt IhoulcnJe'discus&d and acted upo/i by *lnter-Fratermty
and Student Councils Perhaps, it might be well for the Junior Class
to vote on the matter
There is very little argument that can be advanced m favor of
continuing this custom The bouquet is clumsy, discomfits the wearer,
is expensive and lasts but a short time Its full value is seldom rea
lized for it is given only momentary attention It is extravagance
No doubt, there are a great many on the campus who would be
pleased to hear that the Councils and the Junior Class had gone on re
cord disfavoring the wealing of bouquets at the coming Prom and, no
doubt, hearty commendation would be given Student Council if this
body should see fit to make this a condition of all-college hops
ATTACKS ON COLLEGE SPORTS
Articles are appearing in the newspapers of the country, decrying
the fact that college sports are apparently degenerating into huge
public spectacles Some have even gone so far as to assert that the
modern football and sport stadium is fast approaching the atmosphere
of and a semblance of the gladiatorial arena of ancient Rome. The
amount of money involved-in present day intercollegiate sports is start
ling and others cannot reconcile this high finance with the principles
of “amateurism ” Will the colleges and the universities of the country
ever be free from blame o Surely "a prophet is without honor m his
own country.”
The present wave of opposition against college athletics is being
lead by a group at Northwestern University, incidentally the birthplace
of the reform wave that swept the country fifteen years ago, as a pro
test against professionalism in college football This was the transition
stage from the mass formation, brutal type to the present cleancut, op
en form. Some of the modern reformers have even gone so far as to
suggest the radical contest, but, fortunately, the idea has gained little
favor.
The University of Michigan has met the problem by turning over
a large portion of sport financial returns to the developments of mter
class and inter-mural athletics During the last few years at that in
stitution, "Hurry Up” Yost has been a leader in following this policy
and was able to report a net gam of one hundred thousand dollars If
the reference may be pardoned, critics might well consider the case of
the Penn State Athletic Association-which has devoted its total profits
to the building cf bleachers, to the proper equipment of class, unit,
fraternity, and varsity teams, to the construction and remodeling of
fields and courts This year, it gave over twenty thousand dollars to the
college welfare campaign drive, the largest single contribution yet re
ceived Surely- this is commendable, and hardly open to criticism
These policies appear to answer many of the objections that are
being raised The American institution was founded to develop" a
man’s mentality but in doing this it must not neglect the physical de
velopment which is m every way just as important. A sound mind in
a sound body can work wonders but let these two be separated and the
chances are that a dismal failure will result. Let the coffers of the
athletic associations be filled to overflowing and as long as gdod is ac
complished and no harm done, criticism is out of order.
