Member of Eastern Intercollegiate Newspaper Association News Editor this issue FRIDAY, JANUARY 20. 1926 “A good name is earned by fan-play, sqiuuc dealing and gooc spoitsmanslup m the classroom. on the athletic field and in al other college iclations. We earnestly desire that this spit it maj become a tiadition at Penn State’*—The Penn Stale Honor Code GOOD BYE, CULTURE When one talks of cultuie, one usually thinks of ait, litera ture, social etiquette and other cultural achievements too nu merous to mention Howevci, it is evident that this is not the inteiprctation oi the woid m the wide, open spates of AmcncaV gioat West The gieat West, whcic men arc men and so art iicshmen. It was with a feeling akin to pity that we lead the cditonal entitled “Cultuie” m the Daily Ncbiaskan, one of our woi thy con temporaries The editoiial was one ol the cle\crest bits of sar casm we ha%e read in some time; we wondei whether H L Mecken is employed by the boaid ot the Nebraskan. The piece was too good to keep to ourselves, *-o we aie reprinting it m this is*ue of the COLLEGIAN. Wc must tise up m aims and u\ out foi help Just to think that when a freshman weais a sign for violating one ot the col lege customs, he loses two ounces ot culture. When he has hi? hair shorn for talking to a gill, he loses a pound, and so on If we continue with oui college customs, we will ha\e less culture than Bioadway has clean musical comedies Many, many years ago, good okl Noah Wcbstei defined cul ture as follows; “The tiaming, impiovcmcnt and refinement oi mind and morals.” And we should be willing to stack Penn State’s mind and morals against those of Nebraska any day. When a 1 reihman emci ges into the sophomore class here, he at least knows something of college tradition At Nebraska, he piobably wears and '•mokes Lord Luckyficlds. Cut. of com.se. that’s the West’s definition of culture. WHAT’S THE IDEA? There recently came into this office a pamphlet on “Military Tiummg m the Schools and Colleges ot United States” which is being circulated thioughont the countiy. In glancing thiough il we ran acio.ss the following, printed bc'ow woicl for word: “Although there is thus no compulsion to maintain compul sory courses, many school and colleges make their couises com pulsory, and it sometimes goes hard with the young man who ic tuses the yoke. Robert Dieflenbacher at Pennsylvania State Col lege, desiring to be lehcved ot his umfoim and to discontinue mil ltaiy tiammg, petitioned the unrversity officials to that effect. They* refused to allow him to be excused; indeed, did not the col lege catalogue deelaie that ‘every male student oi the Freshman, Sophomore and special classes is lequned to cm oil for military instiuction unless he is physically disqualified ’ Mr. Dieffenbach er was male and physically qualified, but he happened to have a conscience which objected to mihtaiy pursuits, so he decided he would have to leave the college of his choice and pursue his edu cation clseuheic. At last reports he was duly enrolled at Lafay ette College, whcie mihtaiy training is offered but not required “But the story docs not end there. At the time when young Dicftenbachci got into tiouble, Frank I Olmstead, the secietary of the student blanch of the Y M C. A., at Penn State, invited speakers to addiess the Y M. C "A. Forum on both sides of the question of compulsory tiammg. He lelates what happened in a letter: “ *Oiu Y M. C. A had both sides of the case presented in our Foi um, and offered to punt letters on both sides m the Penn State YM.C. A. Alumni News- Lettci Shortly thereafter, I was call ed into the office of the college President, and icqucsted not to mention the Dieffenbacher case again m speech or print I ap pealed to the Board of Directors, who sustained the President m his request I le.signcd as a protest against this infringement of free speech and nrcss, and to sustain the principle of the right ot the Young Men’s Christian Association and to seek Christian truth.” This excerpt has been taken up throughout the nation.
