A TRADITION WORTHWHILE Now that Student Council has handed down the ultimatum that diess customs must icmain “as per handbook,” \vc pause to eonsidei the reason tor such action The laxity in obseivame 01 Penn State’s customs has loomed huge in the eves of the memboi s of the ffovci ning body and was the greatest and most power! ul ai - Kumcnt of those who opposed the move to permit iimiors to go baiehcaded. There is no doubt but that a laissez-faire attitude exists it Penn State legarding customs After the gradual let-down m the treatment of the yearlings during the first few weeks of harsh justice, a caiefice pose of indifference is assumed by students and the only persons who e\er maintain a film stand on regulations are the members of the Tribunal. They could not forget—admin istering penalties tor law-bieakmg is their task. Council dis ( ussion ran in a path which yearly has been trod by every Council and Ti ibunal—that there is an indifference toward tradition w Inch soonci 01 later must be lemcdied, that no ivhat-do-1-care attitude tan cling, leech-like, to Penn State, sucking out the life-blood of tradition Penn State has its honored customs: its traditions worthy of inspect Cut when an effort is made to thiow away tradition without offering a remedy, the cause must fail. Then, as a means ot strengthening the tubeieular vertebrae of customs, whv not in augurate a tradition worthwhile? Why not install a Mo\e-un Day? Penn State has never experienced the thiill of a Move-up Day. Never have the seniors stalked the campus, feeling that thev have completed their college caieer and aie no more to be looked upon as meic appi entices. Never have the Illinois tin own aside then forced dignity, to grasp the senior’s level-headed viewpoint of life At no time have sophomores put away their self-importance which they attach to then station and assumed the becoming poise ot thud-year men. And never have the fieshmen been permitted to toss their dinks into a huge bonfie. adopt sophomore dress custom', and rise from the ignominy of their position as neophytes To look forward to a Move-lip Day would be awaiting the bestowal of a puvilcge It would be hononng a tradition which would be i cully u tradition Penn State is sadly m need of a custom which would be suie of strict obsei vance, a tiadition which would not lightly be dis carded. A Move-up Day, held each year on the fiist Satui dav m May, would command a high place m Penn State’s code: it would bo a custom the coming of which would be awaited with mingled feelings of regret and joy A Move-up Day is the remedy foi m difteience to tiadition—it has a place which cannot be denied It olhoi colleges are copying Penn State customs, they should be given the opportunity to copy a tiadition worthwhile. “TO, THE LADIES”,' ' * i <. . .'' i • :, •> ‘‘The only collegiate dramatic organization which plays a tvvo wook stand at a metropolitan theater” is the boast of Pennsylvan ia’s Mask and Wig Club man advertisement It is a challenge implied. A tow n the si/e of State College cannot be expected to sup port u production tor two solid weeks, and it is unlikely that anv college show will run foi two weeks in an out-of-town engagement. On load lours, however, the Penn State Thespian Club sets a niaik at which any other club may aim. The Thespian Club has undoubtedly made more progress in the last college generation than any other organization on the campus It has danced its way to tame Ihioughout Pennsylvami l and within a few davs will fill requested engagements in Ealti moio, Old Point Comfort and points South. The Club has had a phenomenal giowth; it has impioved its pioductions-and its iman i ml standing until it now has a place of distinction in the colleg iate diamalic woild An untold amount of dcsuable publicity for Penn State has boon reaped by the troubadors and in this lespect the Club may be likened to athletic teams. The name “Thespian” has become a familiar one; Thespian performances are riow heralded events in the cities in which they aie given The Thespians have accom plished things—m dramatic production, in organization, for Penn Stale Oui hats aie off “to the ladies ” THE LAST LAP “In the spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns” into chan nels other than class work. It might be wise to cast a glance at the College calendai and note that but eight weeks remain until the semester ends. A wrinkled brow at this time may save mut tered oaths in a sweltering loom m June. It is, of course, characteristic of youth to live now and worry later. Yet it would be a bettei policy to work when human effic iency is at <i gi eater height than when it lags in the days of late spi ing. Far be it from this column to offer parental advice; this is simply a reminder. And, furthermore, it is not expected that a few penned words will cause an increase in the cracklings of open ing book-covers. You who frown, however, it might be interest ing to clip this article, paste it in a favorite notebook and glance at it as you madly try to digest a semester’s work in a single night. Then ask your roommate to swing his number ten brogan in your direction. FIVE SENIORS SEEKING VALEDICTORIAN HONOR Fi\e senior announced Jieir candi date foi the .1. tV.
