Member of Eastern Intercollegiate Newspaper Association Notvs Editor this issue FRIDAY, FEBRUARY* 127 1926* THE SPIRIT OF THE BALL Aftei the calm, the storm The strain of examination week; Hicii the of a netv semester and with it the peaceful at t itiulo that usually accompanies activities at this time of the year The campus is quiet and lestful; tonight it will awake fiom its h'thaigy and assume the carnival atmosphere of the Senior Ball. Umlcigiaduates will throw off every vestige ot despondency; giades and study worries will make way for Terpsichoic and her 1 rimmmgs Each succeeding bus will see new faces on the campus; the spmt of the occasion will dominate. Tonight will witness the eia of “a bigger and better Senior Ball at Penn State ’ The committee has spared no effort to place the 1026 foimal on a par with othci class aftans, and that its ef fort will be tew aided is a foiegone conclusion. With the advent ol the Ball, 1926 realizes that it is approaching the end, that it is omluikmg upon its last festivities in the Nittany Valiev May tonight’s affan be one never to be foigotten. To the ntimeious guests who invade Penn State over this ■vve'*k-end, the COLLEGIAN extends a hearty welcome May f hen v isit be a pleasant one. May they think moie highly of Penn Slate aftei then dcparltue. To each man, his due. Let ioy be uncoi'lined* DID YOU HEAR— This is a little one-act play with a moral. The synopsis is as follows: John, a student, is walking along College avenue with Tom, a classmate John stubs his toe on the curb. Tom tells Fied about it Fied tells Joe, Joe tells Jack, Jack tells Will, Will tells Tim and Tim tells Ned. But heie’s wheic the joker comes m By the time the news leaches Ned, the stoiy goes something like this John was out on a spiee and couldn’t see sliaight. lie fell in the guttei and almost bioke hs leg And that’s that Unconsidered gossip has been the cause of moie than one downhill, and time and again men and women have been slandered un)ii«t!\ because some one has the uige to “tell a good stoiy” Whether or not it is chaiactenstie of the present generation to lump at conclusions, the fact still icmains that it is almost impos sible to believe any stoiy one hears today unless one happens to bo an c>e witness.- The question has taken another angle. If a person has sonic “<ln l” to tell of anolhei, he 01 she has a ready audience. Let that person tell of some good one has accomplished, and the heaicis will listen with an indiffoionlattitude It is seldom that one hears uood ot nnothci, to hear slander is a common occurrence. To the casual obseivei, it would seem that this is an age of scandal mongers, with cvcivone desiring to “heel the othei fellow to the ifiound” beloic he himself is heeled. Somebody once said. “Believe nothing >Oll hear, and only half you see ” If more people were to follow'-this little saying, it is a '■afu vontuie that there would be fewer groundless lumois to de light the car of those who are always looking for slanderous accu sations li you have any good to tell about a person, tell it to the vvm Id It you haven’t, “shut up” and you’ll be following a safe and vane policy. FREE ADVICE Jinny times dining the life of the COLLEGIAN, it has been our desne to conduct a “question and answer” column for the misguided on “How To Bq A Gentleman.” It seems that our edi torial entitled “Mamma, Mamma” in Tuesday’s issue met with popular approval for once. It gives us a self-satisfied feeling, one that makes our efforts seem not in vain. We look upon this week-end as an excellent opportunity to impress Penn State’s guests with our highly-touted and much hen aided “Penn State Spmt and Chivalry” Below aie listed a tew helps which we tcel sure will leave moie than an excellent impression* When a gentleman cnteis the Armory tomonow with a lady, whistle loudly and send forth catcall after catcall. It will make the lady ieel that she is not devoid of attention. If the boxing meet is* in progiess and the sections are filled, show the lady to a seat on the floor vheie she will be able to watch the progress of the bouts moie closely. If you ai rive late, make a rush for the section reserved for letter men. It will impress the visitors when they see how demo uatic the iettei men are, and will give ample evidence of the high esteem in which we hold a varsity awaid. When the meet gets under way, make a rush for the ringside seals and don’t pay too much attention to the visiting or home loam it you happen to knock one of the contestants from the bench. However, if you do happen to throw one ot the visitors hom his seal, make an apology and mutter, “Pardon Me.” You should not be so particular if it is one of the membeis of the Penn State team. If you do not have a guest for the Senior Ball, get dressed in the sheepskin, and stand inside the doorway and watch the dan uM s. It adds to the foimality of the affair. If you do attend the Ball, make yourself as conspicuous as possible by noise, boisteious talking and so foith You are sure to be noticed And last but not least, at the close of an athletic event m the Armory, hurry to put on your coat and make a rush for the door, u’he contestants will remain to sing the "Alma Mater.” ,PENN STATE CLUB ENDS !
