Member of Eastern Intercollegiate Nenspaper Association FRIDAY, FEBRUARY I, 19.24 News Editor this issue "BOOZE' AND THE COLLEGE MAN The conduct of college men, their antics on the campus and the questionable past-times in which they indulge, has eser been the 'subject for considerable discussion in the outside world Not a lit tle criticism of an uncomplimentary nature has been directed against the youth of American colleges and universities in connection with their apparent disregard for law and order and the dictates of mod ern convention. The picture has been overdrawn, of that there is no doubt, but where there is so much smoke there must be some fire Prior to the adoption of the Eighteenth Amendment to the Na tional Constitution, hazing furnished the major subject for discussion of reform enthusiasts. But, with the 'passage of the dry enforcement act and the consequent curtailing of personal privileges in this res pect, the lawlessness of college men came to be regarded from a dif ferent angle and hazing was relegated to a place of secondary im portance For a wave of drinking swept the colleges of the country, and undergraduates revelled in this new opportunity to break the law and disrupt the order of their community It was but a short time until drinking became decidedly popular with college men. The general situation was deplored and steps were taken for its correction But individual efforts were not rewarded with much success and conditions did not give evidence of much improvement. The situation began to attract state and national attention and it was decided that a halt must be called Law and order conventions were held at various centralized localities and the governors of common wealths and other prominent state officials met with undergraduate leaders to discuss ways and means of preventing the lawlessness of college men The situation took on the aspect of an organized fight. In connection with the increasing sentiment against the viola tion of law and order by college men, it is a source of satisfaction to Penn State men and women to know that the Nittany institution was one of the first in the country to take definite undergraduate action against violation of the Eighteenth Amendment The recent resolu tion, adopted by Student Council without a dissenting voice, which discourages illicit trafficing in alcoholic beverages and pledges sup port of the Administration in meting out severe punishment to stu dent offenders, is a whole-hearted e•picssion of undergraduate sen timent It is unfortunate, then, that Penn State, leader of the movement in the East for student action against wholesale drinking, is troubled with continued violations of that law which she is trying to enforce, by a small group of unthinking individuals who are decidedly in the minority. It is even more unfortunate when it is considered that Penn State is, as the name implies, a state institution, dependent up on the commonwealth for support For tales of lawlessness emulat ing front the Nittany hills are not likely to have the effect of increas ing the beneficence of state officials and others responsible for the continued maintenance of the institution It is well to think of these things now, for some of the year's most enjoyable social functions—enjoyable in the absence of liquor— are close at hand:'and temptation is sure to come with them Tonight is the event of the annual Senior Dance, an occasion where mirth and gaiety pre% ails. But it must be kept in mind that the mirth and gaiety is for all, not for a few And those who acquire it by artificial means, with the aid of mirth-provoking stimulants, do so at the ex pense of their fellow classmates and their college. For, while they may he having a good time in an unnatural sort of way, they are making it unbearable for others to whom that kind of merry-making is disgusting. And, most important of all, they are bringing dis grace upon their college at a time when it will do the most harm. There are times and places for all things And an undergrad uate who drinks on the occasion of an event like the Senior Dance may rightly be regarded as one of the most selfish and self-centered individuals known to man. The full extent of the law would not be too severe a penalty. A WELCOME TO THE NEWCOMERS The Penn State COLLEGIAN, voicing the sentiments of the un dergraduates, wishes to take advantage of this opportunity to extend a hearty, welcome to all new men and women who are entering the Nittany institution this semester Best wishes are expressed for their success and it is hoped that they may soon be filled with that spii it of which Penn State students are so proud, the spirit that leaves the characteristic stamp of manhood and womanhood impressed upon every undergraduate who has become possessed of it The newcomers are assured that they will he accorded all the rights and privileges of first year men as well as their obligations. The admission of students at mid-year plays an important part in the system of class perpetuation, and those individuals who are fortunate enough to be admitted at this time will be denied none of the privil eges of their class. It is urged that the new men and women make an earnest effort to become acquainted with Penn State in all phases of college life as soon as possible. For in this way, they will be in a better position to benefit both the institution and themselves And, in the mate of college interests, let them not lose sight of the primary object in coming to an institution of higher learning,—the object of securing an education. The time to start work is in the beginning. For, if the start is delayed too long, they may find themselves facing an is sue at the end of the semester which had to be faced a short time ago by some of the individuals whose places they are now taking.
