Member of Eastern Intercollegiate Newspaper Association Nows Editor this Issue TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 102 G TIIE ART OF lIOKUS-POKUS. The gentle art of ra7.7ing, commonly known as the ait of hokus-pokus. seems to have become a fetish with college men, and mio is led to believe that the modern undergraduate is slowly hut siiioly leaning toward the monoptic tendencies of an Andeison, a Dreiser, or even a Mencken for that matter. Remonslialions go 1«n naught; the child must ha\e his fun. He does, but someone mi Tiers A freshman enters the glorified institution where law mater ial is liansformed into a “mass" of culture, breeding and refine ment. Before he is six-days old m his new environment, there comes a slight pang—a suie sign of disillusionment. Ra7.7ing heiQ. ra/.7ing there, ia77.ing everywhere. He cannot afford to be dilferent, perhaps it is a pait of the process. He desires to be gin, but doesn't know where to start. Careful study for a short poi lod of time com inces him that the most common subject for lay/mg is the co-ed. And so on through every student genera tion Why? That’s what we are asking you. We are told that at one time, colleges and universities were loi men onlv. Then came the tiansformation period when wo men began to assume greater proportions m the world, and they were peimitted to attend institutions of higher learning. The men resented what they regarded as an infringement upon their i ighls as the male of the species, and as a result began to cuticize the woman student for “trespassing on private propelty." That was the beginning, the acorn, so to speak, from which grew a mighty oak Today the co-ed is looked upon more or less as an object for l.ir/ing, and Penn State is not alone m this unfortunate phase of daily i outine, if we may call it that. The regrettable feature lies m the fact that the ia7zing is not actually felt; it is a case of people talking foi the sake of heaung themselves. And the mul titude listens and loins in the applause because it thinks it is the pi oper thing to do. A modem Nero, as it were. So the woman student, who enters on the same plane as a man with the same avowed puipose, is the victim because she happens to be in the minority heie. Another example of good sportsman ship on the held of battle. The co-ed reali7.es that she is helpless, that she must bear the onslaught as best she can. She know’s that the endless chatter of the ia77. chonis is not really meant, but, novel theless, it serves to make her self-conscious and slightly antagonistic, which is to be expected A co-ed is a woman student, and comes of a sex that demands losprci. To bo ia?7.cd by those w r ho, with her, are seeking the s'lin* 1 end is to ho disillusioned too soon FORWARD THE RADICAL College students aie not howling ladicals. They are Bab bit Is collegiate \aiicty. Heywood Broun, the New York critic, says so His statement will cause some thousands of American paiouts in breathe more easily. And it will cause the handful of Mi-called univeisity ladicals more gunding of teeth and loss of slurp These so-called radicals, however, have already ground off most ol their teeth and thcii insomnia is chronic. For them, Mi*. Broun’s news is old stuff. Its tiuth is evident even m the popular ivinpus usage ot the term “radical.” To be labeled and consigned to the gioup the student need not wravc the ied flag of commun ism, preach free love oi curse Christianity. Only let him, in his simplicity, bcti ay an open mind by questioning some traditional authoi ity and lie has good chances indeed of hearing the mass of iinclorgiadiiates whispering “ladical,” oflimes with the qualify ing “halt-baked.” In common justice to the Babbitt element, it must be admit ted that on every campus there are a few vociferous souls -who do wave the red flag, preach free love, curse Christianity. Not more limn a handful is recommended for any college. 'Hie gioup of open-minded questioners, however, should be mm e than another handful. Presently it is just that—a helpless nmioiity. In all conscience it should include every student. Youth may be inexperienced, may lack that broad groundwork of v< ars and wisdom w’hich is said to be so essential to the search for tiuth and the weighing of values. But youth is curious and vonlh has a freshness of vision that may be equally valuable. For 1 ho gi eat majority of students to keep their curiosity fenced with in the hopeless walls of tradition, to distort their vision by don ning prematurely the cracked glasses of the discouraged elders means stealing from the world one of its chief sources of progress the ambitious, intrepid spirit of youth.
