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.

Miss Becker fust came to Penn

Fraternities Vital to
Penn State—Warnock
That social fraternities nre a real
and vital asset to the Pennsylvania
State College is the belief of Dean A.
R Warnock. He says they have met
an emergency in filling a gap in the
material and social life of the com
munitv. *
“For manv vears,” snys Dean War
nock, “the fraternities at Penn State
have enjoyed the confidence of the
college administration nnd it may be
said to then credit that during these
jears the) have uniformly maintained
an apparent pui pose of cooperating
with the college ndmimstintion for
the good of the college ”
Thcie are now fifty-two fraternity
gioups occupying then own or rented
houses on the campus and in the town
Six jears ago only seven fraternities
owned their chapter houses at Penn
State Now most of the ehapteis
own their homes, sixteen new houses
being built in the past five veins
Six of them were completed within
the past six months Chaptei alumni
me the owners in most instances. A
new fraternity section has developed
on the east side of the town with fif
teen houses aheady built and as many
more clmpteis owning lots in the sec
tion.
