CLASS DUES
There is a problem at Penn State that comes up for annual dis ,
cusston in connection with the payment of class dues It is a ques
tion involving personal expenditure of money, and as such is diffi
cult of approach. But it is a question capable of solution and the
sooner some definite basis for collection of these dues is established,
the better it will be for all undergraduates concerned.
The first consideration in a discussion of dues is whether or
not the assessment levied is justified. It is generally conceded by
those individuals who understand the functioning of class affairs,
that dues are necessary. For the class is an institution It is not,
as is oft-times believed, a transient organization, taking shape in the
first year of a man's existence as an undergraduate and continuing
during his stay in college. True, its actual workings are seen to
best advantage at that time. But a class is a permanent affair and
its members in college are regarded as such throughout the remain
der of their material existence. Furthermore, the money derived
from payment of dues, after the necessary deductions for class acti
vities in college have been made, is turned over to a permanent secre.
tary for the conduct of class affairs after graduation
Numerous assertions have been Made to. the effect that the as
sessment upon individual members is too high. An#,such criticisms
are entirely justified But under the present loose andunorganized
system of collection, small hope is entertained for a reduction in dues
For, in the preparation of a budget and the fixation of amounts pay
able, past experiences have taught that, in the majority of cases, be
tween fifty and sixty per cent of ,the members must bear the finan
cial burden for the entire class And this, perforce, necessitates
higher assessments which immediately betokens an unhealthy condi
tion of class affairs It is unmistakably evident that if every eligible
and taxable man paid his dues, the assessable amount could be low
ered and a much fairer basis might be established for those loyal in
,dividuals who pay no matter what the assessment.
The trouble, then, seems to lie in the system of collection. The
only logical way in which dues can be collected from every man is to
make of it a college affair and impose a tax upon each individual,
student which will be payable with his incidental fees. College auth-I
orities object to this upon the contention that a man can not be re
quired to join a class And herein enters an aspect of inconsistency.
Classes are recognized and their activities are encouraged by the
College As such they come under the same general head, it would,
seem, as debating and athletics There was no particular hesitancy
about imposing a per capita tax for the support of these two branches
of undergraduate activity. And there is no question about a man's
desire to be identified with some class or other A man without a
class in college is like a man without a country in civil life. The'
only reason an undergraduate refuses to affiliate himself with, any
class affairs during his stay in college is on account of the financial
consideration involved and because he knows, despite all assertions
to the contrary, that he will be allowed to associate his name with
that of a class upon graduation whether his dues are paid or not.
As conditions exist now, the class treasurer and the class finance
committee, have a hard time of it. Threats are resorted to as a
means of securing payment of dues. Notifications are issued to tfm
effect that the pictures of delinquent members will not appear in the
class year book. Embarassing situations are not uncommon when it
is found that, certain nominees for class, offices do not, have their
dues paid and are asl % ed to decline the nomination. Many men stay,
away from meetings purposely to avoid payment of dues. It, is gen
erally found.that where a man hes a monetary interest in anything,
it insures a greater. personal interest. This, undoubtedly, would
mean better attendance at class meetings.
It would seem that the'time, has come for achange of. system.
And the only satisfactory, system conceivable is one whereby a pot
capita tax, payable-v(lth incidental fees, would be imposed upon every
college undergraduate.
'AN..'I'IiE6ATION
The splendid recital of Pabto Casnis in the Auditorium last Sat
urday evening is but one, more example, of the exceptional. program
made possible by the combined efforts of the Y. M. C. A. and the De
partment of Music. Casals ranks as one of the greatest living 'cel
lists and excels all contemporaries in interpretive ability and breadth
of expression.
Those individuals and, organizations responsible for, securing.art
lots of such calibre for recitals, lectures and entertainments, are ren-,
during a real service to the under,graduates and to the community as
awhole. It is in.this connection , that the COLLEGIAN, in behalf of,
the student body wishes to express a few words of appreciation.
Sousa and his band, Laurent, the, magician, and Judge Ben Lindsay,
all of whom preceded Casals on the program and have already made
their appearance at Penn State, were acknowledged to be equally as,
entertaining in their own particular lines.
