If fraternity politics as they concern our elections do no good, neither is it predestined that they shall work harm. Fraternity politics, like many another necessary esil, are harmless until carried to e cess, but when uncontrolled they may, and frequently do, wreak havoc In every election, whether it is for membership in a society or whether it is for organization officers, mediocre men win honors along with more gifted or hard-working aspirants, because of the influence of fraternities in campus ballotings As has been said, this does no harm, even if it does net make for healthy progress But when the season arrives at which the various groups and classes choose officers, then fraternity politics frequently become ma licious Perhaps some student remembers that a fraternity brother whom he had hoped would be successful in a previous election suffered defeat because of—the dissenting vote_of another student. If the candidate was unfitted for the place, it is obvious that the unfa . vOrable ballot was entirely justifiable But the aforementioned student rea lizes only that his ambitions for his fraternity's glory have been thwarted, and he awaits an opportunity to avenge his fancied wrong In doing this he ignores all concern as to the qualities of the candi date who is the victim of his sengeance His sole thought is to dis comfit the student who caused the defeat of his fraternity brother If he succeeds, the organization in which he is voting Icses, and the college loses Especially is this true if students who are unfitted For the honors bestowed and the responsibilities entailed "come through" in the elections. Our campus problems arc generally built along the lines of those of the outside world The problem of fraternity polities strongly resembles the political problems with which Mankind has battled ever since the first election When party politics become unusually corrupt, resulting in the election of incompetent officials, everybody but the favored few, suffers So it is with student politics. Supposedly intelligent and "broad-minded" students in our institutions of higher learning apparently have not conquered the temptation to let their own selfish ambitions over-rule their ability to aid progress Ii s'e are anxious to keep student organizations efficient, strong and progressive, if we wish really to further our own ambitions, we will keep fraternity politics within sane limits at all times, and cer tainly during election seasons. FATHERS' DAY It is with much gratification that Penn State points to the un usual strides that have been made in the observance of Fathers' Day since its inauguration at this college four years ago From a day set aside by one or two fraternities to entertain Dads, the custom became an official college affair in 1021 and is now an established event on the college calendar, a day looked forward to with pleasure by both students and parents alike Beside the good time that they are sure to base, there are other benefits for the dads who may visit Penn State It is essential that parents know the kind of college in which four of the most important years in the life of their sons and daughters are spent. Penn State assumes responsibility for the education of her stu dents during this stage of their development, but cannot entirely re place the guidance of parents, and it is only by cooperation that the college can render the best service in developing young manhood and womanhood With the idea in view of creating a closer bond between college, parent and student, a Penn State Parents' Association tins been formed which already has nearly one thousand members. This 'can mean but one thing—a greater Penn State because of the fra ternalism that must necessarily exist among parents and both past and present students While this association is intended to include both mothers and fathers in its membership, Fathers' Day is.set aside for the entertain ment of only the Dads True, mothers are not to be slighted, but it seems impractical to invite them at this time. However,A has been iecommcnded that fraternities and clubs take up this problem and in their own individual way set aside a day in which to entertain mothers and sisters In this way there may come to be a Penn State Mothers' Day. Let every student of Penn State remember that May third is Fathers' Day and when he Is home at Easter time, talk it over with Dad and extend him a cordial invitation to be present.

Williams Shaving Cream is just as much • pleasanter to use as is the Hinge-Cap. It softens Ahe beard with uncanny speed. The thicker lather holds the moisture in against the skin where it is needed. This lather lu bricates the skin, too, so that painful razor friction is eliminated. And when your shave is done, that famous ingredient in Williams which helps the skin, leaves your face cool, soothed and refreshed.
