Office: Nlttany Printing and Publishing Co Buirdlng Telephone: 202 W, Member of Eastern Intercollegiate Newspaper Association NCNIIS Editor this issue TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1924 AN UNFAIR ACT The earnestness with which the Penn State undergraduates re sponded to fight the recett fires which occurred in State College has been somewhat dampened by information which points strongly to the movement on foot to place the fire fighting equipment under the ccntrol and operation of the town organization. It has been argued that the student volunteers can furnish fire protection only during nine months of the year and that the local organization known as the Alpha Hose Company is to a position to combat fire the >ear 'round. While this in itself is true, it is evident that the town volunteers have been slow to build up their organize- tion to a position where they are capable of solely and successfully combating files such as were witnessed last neek The borough of State College has been rated as "amply protected" from fire hazard, and this is partly true from the standpoint of equip ment, but sadly mis-representated with regard co an efficient organi zation. The student volunteers have accepted every opportunity to de velope a capable fire department, but the lack of full equipment has been a handicap It was noticed during the recent conflagarations that no search lights, ladders or proper hose lines were provided to combat the flames This, however, is a matter of authoritative action in the purchase of these essentials Argument may be offered that the College is paying for equip ment to fight town fires and that the borough company could, with the addition of the fire truck which was donated to the College, adequately take care of any fire menace that might occur either on the campus or in the town On the other hand it must not be forgotten that some students have unflinchingly braved several fires without recompenie for the damage that has been done their clothing and other personal belongings. Also it may be stated that there is no fire marshall who could assume complete control in the case of an emergency to direct those who volunteered to fight the flames, whether or not they be at tached to an organized body. The borough of State College, it is thought, is in a position to furnish and maintain a fire fighting organization that wculd aftord "ample protection" to the town, especially so with what assistance the student company would render It also has been suggested that the student company need not be abandoned, but would stand ready to assist the town body This is an erroneous idea The student com pany has been well organized, it has shown its willingness to give services at any time of the day or night, and it receives no compensa tion foi its work Finally, there has been no indication, that the students would respond as tirelessly to the call of fire under complete subordination of another organization The best plan that has been suggested is one which would provide a paid fire marshall who would be capable of directing both companies and a provision whereby the town organization may have use of the College truck during the vacation periods There is a sense of un fairness connected with the clisbandonment of the student volunteers and turning its equipment over to the town The undergraduate organization has demonstrated its ability as a fire fighting unit, let it continue "AIMS AND IDEALS" "Fraternity aims and ideals" will be the subject for discussion at the notion-wide Interfraternity Conference which will be held at New York City on Thursday and Friday of this week The importance of this convention is paramount in that tt vitally affects half a million traternity men in this country As the result of nit extensive canvass of all American Greek letter fraternities, it has been found that these are the aims and ideals for which the fraternities strive recognition of, and proper respect lor, the Deity, moral living, discouragement of gambling, discourage ment of the use of liquor, a premium upon friendship, emphasis upon the virtues of honest and integrity, and encouragement of the practice of charity Penn State, as an abode of fraternity men, has a reason for cen tering its attention on this gathering. President John hl Thomas, as a member of the committee appointed a year ago to investigate these :deals, will represent the College In addition, Dr NX , S. Dye, Jr , Head of the Department of English, A R Warnock, Dean of Men, and C. W. Taylor '25, as a delegate representing the undergrad uates, will attend the conclave Penn State is glad to have such notable representation at this convention. Glad because these delegates may find a chance for the c•pression of undergraduate problems as they are found here, and glad that this conference will present an opportunity to bring back to Penn State the results of the thought, work and decisions that will be forthcoming. Again the College man has been attacked. This time the ac cusation is that he is controlled by mob action and thought. Or, as Count Tolstoi pointed out in his lecture, he does and has everything "canned." The undergraduate's music is canned, his pictures are canned, his thought is canned, all ready for some one to turn the crank or raise the lid. Man chases around in a mad whirl, frantically _ W J DURBIN CANNED! trying to do, see, have and thin,—ii be thinks at all— as his neighbors do, see, have and think There ore too tensons fat Count Tolstoi making such an accusa tion In the first place, foreigners, in contrasting out mode of life with then s, are apt to come to the conclusion that here in America' there r nothuN canduct , o tc the des elopmcnt at And, secondly, individualism is tne principle for which Tolstoes father, who was truly n great man, worked The development of personality. I through freedom al thought and the scut wes his conception of a worth-while life And he dui inure than preach this, he lived it. In ninny ways, this is a particularly pertinent accus ttian for cor lege students Young people are great imitators Let there be l a new style, it it is only Inc of a hat, and in a few weeks, every !body has a hat atter tne established fashion Cut the reel danger of this mob likeness is not dunnnstrated in a inure hat; it goes deeper The real hazard is that cwllege students think alike or are willing to adopt 'the saint attitudes without thinktng fhere is too little individuality 'or originality in their reactions "Y" COURSE TO PRESENT I PENN STATE A.
