It might be well to Lonsider the cause for this action lhere is a feeling of resentment on the part of the undergraduates, finding e.pression in more or less modified form, when any effort is made or any action taken toward the abolition of a Penn - State Custom or tradition And this feeling is entirely Justified For what is Penn State without her customs and traditions , But a word of explanation Is necessary Contrary to the belief of the Majority of students now enrolled in the various courses at this institution, the scrap, incident to and in connection with the first freshman class meeting, is not a custom nor a tradition of the college. It is a product of the old S. A. T C days and has been practiced only since that time, a period of abotti rite years It is but an outgrowth of the'martial spirit incited by the world war, and by no means deserves a place in the same category with others of Penn State's traditionary customs of fifty or more years standing Moreoser, and aside from the fact that it is but a recent flare, the class meeting scrap is not worthy of student support It is a mob fight, and mob fights are always to be discouraged whether they be in civil or college life They offer too great an opportunity for foul play It is then the 'mucker" can do his work and escape well-de served punishment. Mob fights are not in accord with the ideals and spirit of fair play of an institution like Penn State. The recent death of a young man at Franklin and Marshall who suffered a broken neck as a direct result of a mob scrap is but another example of the dangers attending fighting of this nature The resolution adopted by Student Council is the result of earn est and unbiased thought and consideration on the part of its mem bers And it is meant to be enforced The clause threatening pun ishment to violators of the resolution was introduced for a purpose But it is not expected that any violations will ensue The members of Student Council were in no way influenced in their decision by college officials "Prexy" Thomas pointed out the way, but the Council members arrived at their own conclusions. Ac tion was taken for the best interests of Penn State's undergraduates The freshman class meeting scrap is no more. Its passing is not even worthy of dispute 'SS! BOOM! AIE COO! PENN STATE" The event of the first football game each season is an occasion of "looking over" The football team, in action for the first time against a foreign foe, is looked over most carefully by Conch Bezdek and his assistants and, indeed, by all of the students. The co-eds, new and old, are looked over by the male element of the undergraduates and a large portion of the resident members of the University Club And the calibre of the cheering is noted rather anxiously by the yell leaders and rather unconcernedly by the remainder of the students It is to the last mentioned phase of appraisal that attention is called in connection with last Saturday's contest Good cheering is one of the most noticeable characteristics of an institution to visiting teams and their supporters More, it is an outward expression of the undergraduate's faith in the team or individual fighting for the glory of the institution It is an encouragement to the players, a factor in winning games The cheering of the freshmen at last Saturday's game is worthy of commendation It was a decided improvement over similar efforts of last year. But the same commendatory remarks cannot be made with reference to the cheering of the members of the thM.e upper classes. A cheering section, in which all upperclassmen who desire to yell might be assembled and which would be closed to visitors and students with girls, might help to solve the problem. CLASS HATS Supplementing an editorial in the columns of the COLLEGIAN last spring, disfavoring the continuance of the class hat as an emblem of class distinction, a few thoughts might well be advanced at this time of year before designs are finally submitted by the present soph omores. That the class hat has outgrown its usefulness on Penn State's campus can best be seen from the limited number of the members of each year's class who avail themselves of the privilege of wearing it. It is not emblematic of the class nor of class spirit, for less than one third of its members wear the hat. Another reason for disfavor is the fact that the class hat de tracts in large measure from the distinction of the campus society emblem, a hat to be worn only by men who have won college honors to merit it. The "dirk", worn by the first year men, is characteristic of the class for there is no alternative as regards wearing it. It is clear that the idea of compulsion could not be extended to include the wear ing of class hats for many reasons Yet this is the only way in which proper observance of the custom could be effected. The best solution of the problem as it presents itself is to do away with the hats. They have no definite place on Penn State's campus.
