A TEST OF STUDENT GOVERNMENT!
The College Senate, meeting last night in its March session, de
ferred action on the motion of the Senate Committee on Student Wel
fare to abolish June house-party. By heeding the petition to sus
pend radical action, the college authorities have taken a course that
is full of promise to the fraternities in their efforts to retain June
house-party.
The whole problem of reform has been delegated to the fraternity
men by the Senate's action. If they can Improve fraternity social
functions, the cause of student government will be strengthened and
it will become a vital cog in the college administration. Here, indeed,
is a test of its value and efficiency I Should the fraternity men fail,
however, then the Senate can well take recourse to drastic restrictions
and regulations
Student leaders have already evolved a feasible plan to bring
about reform. A "Code of Principles" and a committee to enforce
them , This is the solution to the problem as outlined at the com
bined meeting of the members of the Inter-fraternity and Intra-mural
Councils on Tuesday night.
The proposed hne of action appears to be an entirely logi,cvl one
As drawn up by a student committee, the "Code of Principles" will
be free from regulations and restrictions that would only be evaded
and instead, will seek to express ideals after which every fraternity
man can well pattern his conduct at social functions
As for the enforcement of these principles, that matter will be
in the hands of a committee composed of fraternity men and seyeral
members of the Senate Committee an Student Welfare. With some
such threat as the taking away of social functions, it is likely that
this committee will be able to whip into line those few fraternities
that have been persistently violating the college regulations.
And there is real need for such a committee Fraternity men
foster a sentiment that prevents them from reporting the short-com
ings of their neighbors. As a result it sometimes happens that these
individuals can violate the principles of decent conduct at social func
tions of their own house, in comparative immunity from fine or pu
nishment. The proposed committee with its executive powers should
do much to correct this defect. -
Nor need the work of this enforcement body be limited to the
betterment of social activities, for an improvement in scholarship is
needed among fraternity men. It is in the fostering of a more fav
orable sentiment toward study, the improvement of the present in
effecient systen4of obtaining grades and in the adoption of uniform
study hours that the committee can accomplish much in this phase
of fraternity reform.
To the committee working upon the solution of the problem, it
is suggested that definite action be taken at once Student leaders
appear to lean toward a policy of careful consideration and prolonged
discussion before action is taken. Hasty decisions are of little value,
but delay may be fatal. Student sentiment will never be more fav
orable to the proposed "Code of Principles" than it is now, and for
that reason the student committees should present their proposals to
the fraternity men while interest is so keenly aroused.
It is clear that the College Senate has given the fraternities an
opportunity to furnish proof of an honest attempt to clean house
Student leaders will shortly provide the machinery for this reform
In the final analysis, therefore, it is the rank and file of fraternity
men who must put this machinery into motion Upon them has
fallen the burden of reform!
TRY IT ONCE
"I'll try anything once" is an expression that has often been ut
tered, no doubt, by every man on the campus. It showed that he
was willing, for the experience or benefit to be gained therefrom, to
part from his routine and investigate the uncertainties of some ven
ture with which he was not familiar. Here is a challenge to Penn
State students to "try something" once, something which it is safe to
assume that ninty-five per cent of the undergraduates have never
tried.
Tonight a Penn State debating team appears for the last time
this season on the home floor. An appeal is made to the student
body to turn out to this event and fill the Auditorium for the last
debate at least As to the real value of the forensic contests, no ar
guments should need to be advanced to a college student But, never
theless, the attendance, at the intercollegiate debates in the Auditor
ium has been bordering upon a negative quantity.
Oratory and debating, it would seem, have passed their golden
age, but if this is so it is to be lamented. In the past decades the
ability to speak effectively and convincingly was one of the most val
uable possessions a man could have. Debating is not naturally pop
ular in this day and age nor is any attempt made to render it so To
day, the temperment of students does not permit them to appreciate
this art. But a college student should be broadminded enough and
receptive to new knowledge in a sufficient degree to attend one in
tercollegiate debate at least during his college days.
True, the undergraduates have given their financial support in
the interests of debating; but their moral support is needed as well
It is hard for any man to talk to an empty Auditorium. And it must
not be forgotten that the 'Nittany debaters have carried the name of
Penn State to many institutions with which athletic relations have
never been established.
Try it once.
