Telephone: 292-W, Bell. Member of Eastern Intercollegiate Newspaper Association News Editor this issue FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2. 1925 THE STAG AT EVE- Twenty-five couples dancing and seventy-five stags waiting to be asked to dance, and there you have a picture of any Friday or Saturday night fraternity hop at Penn State. Put that is not enough These stags have the colossal nerve to feel slighted if thev are not shown every favor and asked to take every number, and the fiatei nity that is playing host feels that it will be accused of acting “lngh-hat” if each and eveiy stag docs not receive what he is expecting. A case of hospitality o\eidone. The Tnlerfraternity Council has viewed the great increase in the number of stags with giowing alarm, and has received no end of requests from member organizations who have asked for some action to emb this intolerable practice. Not wishing to tear down the \ ery foundation that has made inlcrfratermtv spmt at Penn State what it is today, the I. F. C. realizes that it must act cautiously m the matter and not advocate a too-rachcal change immediately As a result, there comes the motion that all stags, at their own disci etion and with the consent of all paitics concerned, should tag those men whose partners they wish to dance with, thus placing the buiden on the guest and not on the host. In tb.K manner, it is hoped that the number of stags will decrease, for a man will be hesitant to enter a house with which he is not ac quainted, since he will not be cateted to as he no doubt expects. It is felt that the new plan will also save feminine visitois, who are not acquainted with dance customs heic, from embarrass ment. While the I. F C. has accomplished an excellent bit of work in this matter, the COLLEGIAN feels that the Pan-Hellenic body has not gone far enough. The practice of these week-to-weel: stags should he checked. Open houses and interfrateinily visit ing should be encouraged as much as possible, providing the visitor bungs his own girl. The stags have had their fill' MOTHER’S DAY On Saturday, October seventeenth, Penn State will celebrate its first Mother’s Day. This event, the result of a long-felt desire of the student body, at last mav be looked upon as an accom plished fact, for those in charge have made e\ery possible effort 1o make this first occasion a successful sharer with Dad’s Day in undcrgiaduate enthusiasm. The program is ariangcd, the parents association is now pie narmcr invitations to the mothers of all students cm oiled in the College, it remains for the students themselves to supply the essential element which will place the event beyond the experi mental stage. No matter what picparalions aie made, no matter how many letters are sent out by the committee, there still lingers the danger that a scaicity of mothers may make the occasion not entirely successful. In such a case, Penn State would be in the position of the host who prepajes a bountiful feast and then ■waits and waits for guests who do not arrive. Hardly a desirable position. Si i'onn Slate has much to offer its invited guests A tiue undei standing of college life and of individual student pioblems is hardly possible without an actual visit to the campus. It is the purpose of the day to bi ing about this contact. If that purpose is to be accomplished, every student must make an honest effoit to get his, or her, mother to Penn State on the seventeenth The foi mat invitation of the College is not enough; the hastily penned, casual invitation in the weekly letter is not enough. Befoie the hundreds of mothers who are ex pected will come to State College they must be asked, asked per sonally and heartily. THIS AND THAT Intense class rivalry, conducted in the pioper channels, is a vital part of the spirit of Penn State. Few dare comment on the enthusiasm of the junior and sophomore classes during the past week, for who can foietell whether or not it is a slight flurry, destined to die as quickly as it came to life Should it live and flouiish under the pioper guidance, student leaders may feel that they have accomplished a little something in the battle of leviv ing the spirit of old. It is an easy matter to be brave when the odds are m your favor. If these same sophomores who turn out in such gieat numbers when they are permitted to carry paddles make a sim ilar showing at the class sciaps this year, then 1928 will be in line for congratulations. And if these same juniors who are not averse to staving off the sophomoies in their attempts to disci pline the yearlings display the same vigilance in forcing the second-year men out to scraps, then 1927 will have done its share. Class scraps must be revived—they are a vital part of Penn State’s life and spmt. J. I.
