111ALICIOUS FRATERNITY POLITICS
Many cf the campus societies and cliibs have already held their'
annual elections for new members and officers, and as the end of the
school year approaches, the four classes, as well as various other cam
pus organizaticns, contemplate similar action With the annual ques
tion of elections comes an aggrasatton of the perennial question of
fraternity politics
It is a self-evident tact that to attempt to eliminate fraternity
politics from Penn State elections or from elections at any college;
where there arc fraternities, would be useless Not only would the
attempt be useless, it is unnecessary. 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.

We have, done our level best to make
a tob acco that tastes just right.
We bought, for making Velvet, the best leaf
tobaccci• that grows in the famous blue-grass
section.of Kentucky, and then slowly and
Thoinughly aged it, in wood.
Ageing in wood takes more time and costs us
lots mbre money, but it makes Velvet mild
