Office Xittanv Printing and Publishing Co Building, State College, Pa Telephone 202-W, Bell Member of Eastern Inlerco’legute Newspaper Association News Editoi this* issue TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15. 1925 ‘THE KID HIMSELF’ During the coming holidays some thousands of people of Pennsylvania and New Yoilc will come to the Thespians’ per ioimanco ot “The Kiel Ilimselt” to be entertained Thev will leave the ■'hows entertained—and also nistiucled: infoimed in a voiy striking manner that Penn State ofieis moie than they supposed For it is a tact, deploiable, but nevertheless Jiue. that the aveiage citizen when he thinks of Penn Stale thinks ol a more oi less uhtanan institution—a glonhod vocational school. The name ot Penn State is rarely associated with the purely cultuial. academic phases ot education It is astonish ng to note how many ot the good people of the Commonwealth arc surprised to hear that Penn State actually has a school of hbc v al arts The reason tor this is ob\ ious. When the College gets press publicity, the articles deal with the activities of the athletic teams, of the School of Agriculture and the technical schools— ncwci v ith the aits Even the COLLEGIAN, which is right on the lot, so to speak, is guilty of this unequal emphas’s, ioi stone? ol ical news value xarely come fiom the School of labeial Aits Its publicity must go out thiough some other channel. It is hei c th it the Thespians pciiorm a useful and lasting wcik. Among the more senous thinking men of the College thcie Ims long been a murmur, a half-ashamed piotesl that Penn State is not getting quite the right tvpe of ficshmen, that keen biains natuially giavitate to the institutions having the stiongest repu tations for culture And Penn State, as a seat of culture, is al most unknown. Just ho>\ the presentation of a highly (inciting musical com edy can convey to the audience the impression that the membeis el its cast aie the products ol a cultural, hbciai education is not definitely known The impression is conveyed nevertheless. What the Tnangle Club has clone for Princeton and the Mask and Wig tor Pennsylvania the Thespian Club is doing tor Penn State May “The Kid Himself” be piesentcd m the true Thespian mnunei find with “S. R. 0. ’ signs at the box ollice windows. FRATERNITY RUSHING v glance at the numerous newspaper exchanges which flood thii oflice each week reveals the giadual tiend ot new and more cfliuont ideas on fraternity rushing in ovciy piogicssive insti tution in the country. Fraternities have begun to lealize that cut-thioat policies arc not only haimiul to themselves but also lo the eligible men and the college as well. Last jear, a new rushing code, complete in eveiy detail was presented to the Penn State Interiratc.nity Council, but it was vetoed Commenting on this action, the COLLEGIAN stated in an editorial; “Penn Slate has progressed rapidly within the past fiftv ycais. but it is evident that Grcck-letter societies here have failed to display the same degree of advancement. The I. F. C’.x action last week simply hangs another millstone around the necks ot its members and postpones an uflnmalivc decision that must come sooner or latci.” It is iiimoied about the campus that a new lushing code will be presented to the I. F. C. within a short time The present is none to soon lo begin thinking over the matter. Penn State fra ternities should leahzc by this time that the picsent method of rushing is obsolete, that it must be icplaced by something bigger m purpose and better m ideals. When the new plan is submitted, it is oui most eai nest hope thit it pass the Council by a unanimous vote.
