IS STUDENT COUNCIL TO BLAME? ,
The question has been raised on many occasions this fall by a
few interested members of the undergraduate body as to whether or
not Student Council is losing its power in governing affairs appertain
ing to student welfare at Penn State. Where there is so much smoke
there must be some fire, and it is true, no doubt, that the student
governing body has been influenced to some extent this year in render
ing decisions affecting undergraduate interests because of the pres
ure brought to bear by college officials. But if the students arc not
satisfied with the functioning of their Council, they have only them
selves to blame.
Student Council is primarily an organized undergraduate body
for the government and regulation of student affairs. Its members
have been elected by their classmates to represent them.. Each coun
cilman has a trust to fill with his constituents and they have the right
to demand that he perform his duties The student governing body
at Penn State is composed, supposedly, of a representative group
of individuals whose duty it is to reflect in Council meetings the
thoughts and interests of the majority, and thus "But the
majority has no interests." The councilmen are agreed on that.
And herein lies the answer to the question raised by the one
or two interested members of Penn State's student body. Modern
students in general, it appears, can not be shocked or won; they are
pleasantly aloof from the bitter interests that tear the world, from
the localized problems that make or break a college. They think,
but thoughts arc thoughts to them, necessary adjuncts to a serene
academic progress—not possible solutions of a living, breathing
reality.
It is unfortunate that such a condition exists at Penn State,
but it is none the less true. Councilmen go out among their fel
low classmates when some question of vital undergraduate interest
arises, and look in vain for some breath of hot feeling, some preju
dice, some clash of ideas And all they find is a languid tolerance
for any idea. Surely a discouraging fact to face, one about which
the representatives to state and national governing bodies know
nothing
A frail, passing interest in fads, movies, jokes, amusement—is
this a foundation on which to build a strong student government=
The councilmen do not seem to think so There is little need for wond
er that Student Council is losing its power to the college officials
Perhaps the councilmen themselves come in for a share of the
blame. No attempt is be:. g made to defend ehem in any way. Incom
petent representatives will never make an efficient and competent
Council, but here again the undergraduates as a whole are at fault
When nominations and elections for the student governing body
come up at class meetings, it is the duty of the undergraduates to
see that responsible men are given these responsible positions. If
a candidate is up for re-election, his record as a member should be
invest:gated and action should be taken accordingly.
It would seem a languid generation to the history of college
life. Those students who are not too self-centered, too wrapped up
in themselves to ever do the college any good, seem to be functioning
in a state of lethargy. The world is a little misty to them, a little
remote They feel that they can not be bothered.
Perhaps the generation that is being born out of the American
college of today will have to rub against life a little before it really
believes in it Real interest is an emotion, and emotions spring from
the needs of human beings, and so far in this comparatively com
fortable college situated in the Nittany valley, there has been little
deed for real interest and intelligence.
THE GLAMOUR OF RECOGNITION
There is agitation afoot on the campus in several non-athletic
organizations and activities for the awarding of varsity letters to
individuals who have made good in other than athletic lines. The
question of making varsity letter awards for non-athletic prowess is
a hardy perennial at some institutions It blooms forth and dies at
regularly recurring intervals in some of the largest colleges and um
versities in the country, but has not pushed farther than a had, at
Penn State until this year
The mere detail of giving a letter to non-athletes is of minor
importance But it seems somwhat incongrous that musicians, dram
atists, debaters'and editors should ask recognition in the form of an
'S", and value the insignia of the athlete above the appreciation of
their audience Such a demand can hardly come from tree artists in
their respective lines.
Unrestrained and unabashed clamoring for recognition denotes a
smallness of soul which attaches more importance to outward display
than to inward satisfaction It is invariably the small, pompous in
dividual who lusts to be clad in honors and titles, who delights in
flaunting insignia of accompliShment, in wearing charms and badges
just because they are charms and badges. His own fatuous grind
ing away for recognition, for specious reward, for impossible dis
play of decorations,—his own narrowness prevents his seeing and
understanding that the "big" man in college or in the outside world
is, in every case, the least ostentatious.
Unfortunately, there is a group of undergraduates in every col
lege who make a fetish of recognition: They worship the varsity letter,
the honor fraternity emblem, the campus society insignia, not for the
worthy efforts these symbols represent but for the fancied prestige
they infer. That the idea is alt wrong, is too self-evident for ar
gument.
College men of today, the nation's leaders of tomorrow, should
be inspired to do something worth while, not for the attending glory
and recognition, but for the sake of doing it. No one admires or even
likes a grand-stand player. Grand-stand playing is not confined alone
to the athletic field; its benign existence is seen and felt in all
forms of activities, in the class room, on the street, in the presence
of women; it is n thing to be despised. The little, petty vanities of

human nature, inherent in all mankind but batter concealed by some
individuals than others, are largely responsible for the present-day
clamor for recognition.
Glory, to be glory, depends upon whole-hearted devotion to work.
Recognition without power is irony, but power without the glamour
incident to modern forms of recognition is a thing to be respected
"Art for art's sake" is the only formula for lasting respect and
achievement.
