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
