Member of Eastern Intercollegiate Newspaper Association TUESDAY, MAY 20. 1924 TRY IT OUT With the inauguration of each new event in the lives of a people there mimes an inquiry as to whether the new is better than the old, whether the change will justify the esisting conditions and, if so, what are the benefits tc be derived from the change. A change on the part of fraternity observance of house parties at Penn State has been promised. and with it comes the una}oidable question. Will it be an accepted success from the standpoint of the undergraduates' , Taking deliberate action in regard to the length of June house parties in the future, the College Senate has decreed that the now esisting five-da} part} be cut to three days, for upperclassmen only, that another three-day party cpcn to all students, be held during the Spring, and that four da}s be added to the vacation pericd nest Christmas. Acting on the main recommendation handed down by a Special Committee appointed to in} estigate the house party problem •at Penn State ate Senate has taken these steps to modify and enlarge, in certain respects, the social activities of the undergraduates "To give recognition to the achievements and interests of the graduating class and to welcome the returning alumni." is the sum and substance of the recommendation upon which the revisions have been made While the June house party is undoubtedly the biggest social function of the }car, and while the Christmas \ nation period is next, in importance as far as pro} iding recreation for the student is con cerned, it has been with the intention of making a modification in the former case and enlarging the possibilities of the latter that these steps have been taken A compromise has been effected, but to some this acticn will cause dissatisfaction and ill-feeling toward the College Administration There is one questionable elimination con nected with the revision of June house party the underclassman's participation To him it will appear as though he is being deprived of a pleasurable time, the anticipation of which has been fostered and developed throughout the entire year, and it is natural that he will resent such curtailment of his social activities But provision has also been made to arrange a time when he may enjoy the privileges of such a party, for the new program prevides for a similar three-day party in the Spring: presumably to include the Junior Prom and Sophomore Hop The program also calls fora Commencement Ball which will be held as the final event of the June function. Hence the fraternity grouts will be limited to a three-day party, only two days of which, however will be available for house dances The Ball will be more of a general get-to-gether of upperclassmen and alumni and will not be, strictly speaking, a time for general student participation There is a question as to whether it will prove successful As it is tne aim of the College Administration to work in the best interests of scholastic endeavor and to adjust and curtail the e penses of the institution, the action taken in regard to house par ties is probably justified Still, it is the student who, in this case, "makes his own bed," and who must necessarily lie in it. The bene fits to be derived from a limited observance of social activities arc many, but there is also a danger of underestimating the benefits which are derived from good, wholesome participation in social func tions The thing demands a sane test, all sense of justice warrants it If it is then found inadequate, if it is proven unfair and unjust, then let it be discarded for vi lint is right and acceptable to the great est number. BESTIR YOURSELF It has been remarked that a lesser number of social activities have been conducted during the past week or so at Penn State than in for mer weeks, and that it is undoubtedly occasioned by the nearness of the end of the term Dancing pumps and tuxedos have been laid aside and more books and pencils have been the routine of affairs during the evening helms It is true that some social functions have been held, but they have not been so widely patronized and they have keen fewer in number. It is an indication of the approach of only one thing final examinations. Some students fail to accord the importance that is demanded a final e \amination in a given subject, they frown upon the test period and take it as a matter of course, seemingly unconcerned as to whe ther they pass or fail. Examinations are, after all, cnly matters of I•hes and dislikes Quizzes are boresome things, that is admitted, but while they arc in existence they must be tolerated, and it is for the undergraduate to apply hunself efficiently and well in order to sur vive. To survive is the thing that counts, and it can only be done by preparation. Less than two short weeks remain before the final e‘aminations will be upon the Penn State student in full blast and the old saying of, "A word to the wise is sufficient," can readily be interpreted by even the most heedless student. It is time to bestir yourself lest it be too late. COMMUNICATIONS It has boon the policy of the COLLEGIAN to invite communica tions relative to topics pertaining to the College and the student body for verbatim publication in its columns. This practice will be con tinued in the future. but the COLLEGIAN hereby gives notice that it is not necessarily in accord with any sentiment expressed in the column entitled "Letter Box " All letters must be signed, but the identity of the authors will be withheld if requested Several letters were recently withheld from publication because they were not signed.
