Time after time it has been treated to neglect after its first sensational announcement had lost its brilliance The question, which has become an issue, to which reference is made is the one invols mg a workable system to be em ployed in connection with the proper regulation of student participa tion an non-curriculum activities Tuo years ago, work was started on collecting data from other institutions where a point system effecting this needed regulation was hctng used to advantage .The committee from Student Council ap pointed to the task labored long and faithfully, and tangible results were in VIC NI,. Then came the end of the college term and the informa tion was lost. At an early meeting of the Council last ear, a committee was appointed to begin again the work of accumulating all the "dope" possible The committee submitted a gratifying report. Authentic information had been gathered front numerous colleges and univer sities; responsible men connected with various student governments had written descriptions of the different systems as they were in vogue at their institutions; opinions had been gathered from all sections of the country The work had been well done, and so far, so good But other questions, considered store important, arose to claim the attention of Student Council. The point s}stem was relegated to the beau: ound And one more college term came to a close without any definite action being taken. Although umerous inquiries hate been made this year concerning the fate of the proposed system of activities control, little enthusiasm bas been evidenced on the part of undergraduate leaders Student Council has taken no definite steps during the fast semester toward the advancement of the idea. It is not expected that this governing body will appoint a committee immediately to draft a system that would be well adapted to Penn State, and which would include all commendable features of other systems without absorbing their un dcsir ible characteristics Such action would be folly in view of the fact that there are far more important issues to be considered at the pm's:at time But it is expected that in the course of the second semester, and before the end of the term, some dependable workers will be asked to draw up a point system for Penn State. Regulation of some sort becomes more necessary with each suc ceeding year. And it is felt that a workable system can be devised II such is the general opinion, as a careful and thorough investigation, scents to indicate, then let the issue receive the attention it deserves SIGNS AND SIGN-BOARDS' It has been brought to the attention of students and undergrad uate organizations on several occasions that illicit advertising on sign-boards and indiscrinunate plastering of trees and walls is un desirable and, indeed, forbidden It is unfortunate, in this connec tion, that those individuals responsible for the maintenance of a ra spectable looking campus hove not experienced a whole-hearted ob xemance of this warning Sign-boards are intended, primarily, for all undergraduate adver tising and announcements of a legal character But they are not intended for a brazen display of suggestive placards of a questionable and, perhaps, insidious nature Neither are trees and sides of build ings the proper places for advertising of any kind It is simply a matter of common sense and cooperation in an ef fort to keep Penn State's campus as respectable and beautiful as pos— sible Every college undergraduate can discriminate between ad vertising that is proper and that which is improper. And only a blind man would mistake a tree or the side of a buildiing fora sign brim d INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATING Intercollegiate debating, attracting the attention of such a lim ited number of college students, sons the subject of considerable dis cussion at a recent conference on undergraduate activities. Ways and means were suggested for securing a more representame and en thusiastic group of supporters among the students for whose benefit the debate was primarily intended And the situations presented brought clearly to mind a decidedly similar state of disinterestedness in this form of collegiate endeavor at Penn State Debating at this institution is distinctly a student activity that is carried on, from year to year, by the undergraduates with little aid from the faculty A small group of students apply themselves to the study of national and worldwide problems for the good which the college and they themselves might derive, In the past five years, the debating squad has investigated and presented arguments involv-' mg a diversity of interests But the benefits accruing to the under graduates from a forceful presentation and logical discussion of such problems may be considered negligible. For, as a rule, it is a pitifully small audience that greets the debaters upon their appearance in the Auditorium for an intercollegiate discussion. The world today needs men and women who can think clearly and who can present their conclusions forcefulh. The country needs men and women who are interested in .questions or national and in ternationnl importance An hour spent in listening to a debate is not wasted but is a good investment which might yield excellent divi dends sonic day But, aside from the benefits that may be denser' from listening to discussions of this nature, it must be admitted that debating, as it e \ints today, is a student activity. And, vs such, it merits the backing and support of the undergraduates if for no other reason. Freshmen should be made to attend these intercollegiate contests, even as their presence is required at athletic encounters. Debating is an institution nt Penn State It must be supported by undergraduate interest. And the way to secure this interest open to the upperclassmen. It may be efiected by absolute insist ence upon the attendance of freshmen at these discussions The awakening of interest may be followed by the forming of habit and the problem of attendance at intercollegiate debating contests may be soh ed.
