TO JOY AND HAPPINESS
Youth comes and goes—it is like a “ship that passes m the
night" Tonight, the old makes way foi the new Staid follow
eis ot "ie Oldo Dayes will step aside, and allow c.neiiec sopho
mores and pleasure-seeking Iteshmon to hask in the limelight of
social supiemacy Foi, once again, the Sophomore Hop, the af
-I«ui of affairs loi Penn State’s underclassmen, is upon its And
toy and happiness ,ue the passwords toi admittance
The Sophomoie Hop marks the beginning ot 1929’s social:
ci a m the Nittanv Yallej, the beginning, so to speak, ol the end
1928 stands erect, and salutes the dountiodden yeaihng as he |
passes thiough the cntiance to the Airnoiy, and lecognt/.es hint
.it last as an equal The hatchet is but ted. and the pipe of peace
placed on the table
Each incoming vehicle toda.e w ill gt\ c to the campus addition
al eoloi, and ism guests will eaptuie and hold the College tor the
week-end The Blue and White will be the melting pot lot a mas-,
ot temmme pulchiitude. ihythnnc whirlings, iov and happiness
'!he COLLEGIAN loins Penn State m making the campus pioee
equal to the task.
ROOM AND HOARD.
Although at present the thoughts of the fralci m collcgio aio
devoted laigely to the development ot neophytes into woilnv
hi others \ia the paddle loute. it is not untimely to gi\e a hide
fonsidciation to the augmenting of the tanks next fall The poi
icnnial haiiangumg o\ci a iashing systemuhas seen no detmite
*»u»lhocl established, and the annual chaotic condition pieralen.
at the opening ot the tall teim will be as ewdent this coming veai
as in the past unless some immediate action is taken by the fia
leinite councils
It is an accepted tact that a laige number of Penn State fia
tcnuties aie anxious to see the policy ot laisso/ lane cut tailed,
vet it is also c\idcnt that a lather huge mmoiitj aie blocking
o\cry attempt to mtioducc «i sane lushing plan Hoiiid buga
boos have been con Hired by those who lehsh the open season
tactics but. like the bad men ot the nni-eiies, thev aie non ost.
The pet argument ot the consei\ati\cs was blasted last fall
when “lead piping" at bus stops was prohibited. It sounded the
death knell for the contention that theie were insufficient loom
ing facilities unless the incoming men obtained quaiters m tia
ternity houses It is doubtful whethei a legitim,lie objection
ically exists.
It seems only tan that the ire&hmen should be permitted at
least a month to become acquainted with the chapters and only
logical that the iiateimties be allowed an equal oppoi tunity to se
lect their men judiciously To those brotherhoods that icel that
they can not stand daylight competition, we suggest that they
iemo\e their highly polished Gieek letter plaques and substitute
the loom-and-board sign.
TOBACCO EQUALITY
“Excry day, m cxery way, it is getting easier and easier to be 1
a dieoico court Judge ” No longer is “he diopped ugaiette ashes
on mj caipet” consideied a \alid excuse ior the legal estrange
ment ot couples, foi now women arc almost on a tobacco level with
men, especially since Vassal has joined the cm avail and allow.,
smoking within its walls.
There arc some who will civ out in alaim against this com
paratnely new uee that “thieatens the flower ot womanhood, and
bids fan to extinguish every last \estige oi iemimty ” Feai not.
jo oldci pillars ot convention,womanhood is not seriously menaced.
You are aiguing tiom a fallacy, because “smoking women" do not
tonfoim to \our standards. Canon Pnlchaul ol liochestei uttcis
pc iHs ot wisdom when he says: “It is perfectly intilo for us okler
people to pictend thatHhc standards m force in oui comparative
ly simple generation can possibly be the standards that aie useiul
or suitable to those who aie younger.”
In addition, gieat ndeanlagcs are likely to be domed from the
Lend toward tobacco equably. Manufacturers of the “filthy
weed” will rejoice. The smiling Jace of the shiek declaring,
“What a whale of a dillorence etc. etc ” will be replaced by laugh
ing brunette, while Milly Murke’s testimonials will read something
like this, “My husband and I both love to see each other smoke
Duchess cigarettes. Who said two can’t h\c as cheaply as one?”
llowoxer, theic is one other phase to be considered. Perhaps
dnoieu court judges will hear this, “Eveiy morning when he went
to work, ho stole my Fatimas.” and then we will be back wheio we
started from.
Men must be complaisant. They must foitify themselves
with two packs instead of the customary one. Mints will ever be
in demand It is useless to utter a protest The “stronger spec
ies” must continue to lemain complaisant until the female takes to
the corn-cob and the long, black stogie.
