While many are inclined to criticize those fraternities twitch op posed the plan, their action apparently had some justification, negli gible as it mav seem. Penn State has progressed rapidly vithin.tlic past fitty years, but it is evident that Greek-lettcr societies here have Jailed to display the same degree of advancement The I. F C's ac tion last week simply hangs another millstone around the nccics of its members and postpones an affirmative dcc.sion that must come soon er or later. Many were of the opinion that the organizations possessing the most beautiful domiciles would profit most by the new code. Care ful anal>sis will disprove this assumption, and the philosophy of a lamous author who said “better wisdom ir a shack than ignorance in a mansion” may well be applied to fraternities with but few revisions Perhaps we may be accused of airing dead issues—if so, mav we he permitted to defend ourselves by stating that it is~\vith the desire of furnishing food for thought in ne\t year’s Council. There cannot he any doubt m the minds of anyone, however, that had the new rush ing code been accepted, it would ha\e facilitated matters m regard to the Freshman Week which will be inaugurated next Seotember Even at the present time, many Greek-letter societies are planning to return en masse a week before the opening of College in an attempt to “beat the other fellow to it” when the members oi 1929 first make their appearance on the campus It seems that the least fraternities can do, since they did not see fit to pass the proposed code, is to refrain from any lushing during Freshman Week and leave future neophytes iree to obtain the in struction they so badly need. College officials arc making every eifort to establish this innovation at Penn State, and there can be no doubt of their accomplishing this end if the fraternities cooperate by abolishing all rushing until the close of the preliminary instruction period ALL-AMERICANS ALL Last Friday, some twenty-five members of our facultv. the per sonnel of the 1924-25 All-American team, had their names inscribed on the Penn State’s Hall of Fame. The COLLEGIAN would Itlcc to congratulate the fortunate ones and offer regrets and en couragement for future success to those who failed to make the grade, they must remember that all the candidates for a team cannot get their letters and that the victories of the varsity arc built on the sweat and sacrifice of the scrubs For the nominating committee that decided on the line-ups, the editors have but one mild criticism. Thev realize that it is impossible to eliminate all favoritism from a selection of this nature and admit that, despite this fact, a fairly representative group was chosen. Be that as it may. there is wide-spread dissatisfaction among the students with some of the lettermen which suggests a more careful, unbiased weighing of qualifications next year. For those of the faculty who are preening themselves on their triumph, the editors have a more serious criticism The COLLEG IAN is surprised to observe that some of these star performers count their selection a real honor, a fillip to their self-esteem, they count their evident unpopulnrity among their pupils a proof of their peda gogical pudding We would simply call attention to the fact that then pudding, no matter how full of vitamines. has turned rancid and that it is the toothsome pudding that sends the boarders away with full stomachs and minds unsoured by dyspepsia BEHIND THE TIMES Ever since its inception many years ago, the COLLEGIAN has piided itself with the efficient manner in which it has presented cam pus news first-hand to the student body. But for once, the board feels that it owes the undergraduates an apology for “slipping up” in .in important piece of gossip concerning Penn State. In a current issue of The New Student, we find under the head ing "Youth Would Stop Compulsory R O T. C ” that fin open letter has been prepared by the Anti-Compulsory Military Drill League which declares that among several other colleges and universities, “a cam paign. is now raging against compulsory drill at the Pennsylvania State College” Important news to say the least, and we venture to say that this editorial will inform the student body for the first time of said campaign. To our knowledge, the only campaign raging in the Nittany Val ley at the present time is being conducted by Penn State’s athletic teams. Nevertheless, we thank the Anti-Compulsory Military Drill League and The New Student for this choice bit of news and sincerely request that, in the future, they continue to inioim us of matters Letter Box Til Wlndomere Aienito Detiolt, MlohlK.in 51 n 2«. 192*.
