Building, State College, Pa Telephone: 292 AV, 801 l Member of Eastern Intercollegiate Newspaper Association News Editor this issue FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1923 SENIOR WEEK Like a bolt fiom a clear sky, Penn State is once moie con fronted with the Senior Week vs June House Paity encountci. Memones ot last jear aie awakened, memones that cannot tad to bring: thoughts ot lcgict to everyone concerned But this year ditfers trom last. This year, Penn State’s admmistiation has stepped out ot the limelight and has said in effect to the un dergraduates: "Hoie is Semoi Week llcie is June House Paitv Take your choice.” Last jear Senior Week was olTeied to the students, but they turned it down without a tual The ultimate icsult was that Penn State had neither a Senior Week noi an unlimited June House Paity. It is to be legrctted that the new pioposal was not given a “show” last spnng, lor it is probable that undeigiad u«i • “ ojUI not think twice m choosing it again at the picsent tlttu.. e name Senior Week has undoubtedly misled many. It is simply a title, so to speak, which gi\cs social distinction to the graduating class m tribute to the semoi s’ last all-college function at Penn State. The alFan is open to the entire student body and includes the Jumoi Prom on a Thuisday night and lialcrmty house paities on Friday and Saturday nights It is a foui-day house pai tv m the spring. Penn State needs such a tiadition as Senior Week Penn sylvania Day senes its pin pose in the tall, but theie aic no all college festivities m the spnng of the ycai Pennsylvania looks lorwaul to it Junior Week. Dailmoutn to its Wmtei Carnival, Cornell to its Senior Week, and such functions aie known as dis tinctly individual to those institutions. As foi June House Paitv Thcic can be no question that Commencement at Penn State last year was o' eivthmg that Com mencement should be It was mspmng and emotional, exactly what parents, lelatives and Inends ot giaduatmg students ex pected of such an occasion. It was a fitting close to lour years well spent Commencement should always be such, but with a June House Paity, open to all undergraduates, tlvs is impossible Now Penn Stale students «uo oficrcd Semoi Week, and with it a two-day respite tiom classes, 01 a June House Paity. with lestnetions that will not make it the Commencement paity of old. Even with Sentoi Week, those houses that deMie may con duct a June House Paity similar to the one last ycai v.licie only nembeis of the two upper classes wcie eligible. The Interfiatermty Council has appointed a committee to recommend one ot the two proposals In fan ness to graduating semoi-. and Penn State, in icspect to parents of Penn State stu dents, in an attempt to bind elosei together the student bodv and administration, and with the thought of giving the Nittany in stitution a leal social tiadition m the spnng, let this committee decide on Senior Week. DOES IT PAY TO ADVERTISE? A ramy day brings forth shekels of a necessity. But a li'iny day is not a Penn State field day. Almost the whole of Penn State’s student body is addicted to the slicker ns a shield Horn the elements, both at college and at home Dining Cluistmas recess the home-tolks aie going to icceive much ehepp and common advei Using of Penn State. Foi this reason Almost halt ot the slickers worn heie by virtue ot the multi-hucd “Penn States” and “lions” painted atioss the shouldeis, arc nothing less than ad\eitiscments What is ! more, the publicity they create is of the lowest and most lepul mvo torm. In the Freshman Handbook stands a i uling which states that no student is permitted to paste Penn State stickers or labels on Ins baggage. No one can honestly challenge the principle em bodied in this rule When a Penn State man walks thiough the sticets of Ins home town encased in a “decoiatcd” slicker, he places himself in the position of the sandwich man The gaimcnt becomes a mov ing signboaid impossible to ignore, which proclaims to the world at large that the person inside is a college man—fiom Penn State, if you please—that people should recognize this fact and treat the shekered one accotdinply. The impression cieated, both of the man and of the college hardly can be flatteiing.
