With the Council the whole matter of the exchange was looked upon as .in incentive for sophomores to turn out to the scrap, lather as a ■luendly ioke played “all in fun ” . . , The fi ashmen won the scrap. They are able to take sopho more chess customs for an afteinoon. The sophomores lost. "hey must wear the dink, black tie and socks, go without smoking on the street and the pi ivilege of putting hands in pockets foi a few hours. Fieshmen will not aspne to the ligid authonty asserted by members of the second-year class. It behooves them not to do any such thing. Sophomoies will not assume the dejected at titude of yearlings simply because they wear the dink. Far was this fiom Council’s mind when the lule w r as passed, iheie is no cause for friction; any sophomore with a sense of humor is able to see that the return to the dink is to be taken in the joking manner m which the idea had its conception, rather than m the light of an addition to the penal code . . In future years, when this exchange becomes a tradition, there will be that feeling of jovialty that the Council originally wished to ci eate. The exchange is “all m fun” and everyone who realizes this has the good sportsmanship, the spirit of Penn State at heart Penn State’s thinking sophomoies certainly do not lack a sense of humor. A FOUNDLING ON THE DOORSTEP In 1921 the first girls’ club was founded at Penn State and in the succeeding two years, lour more clubs were organized. For thiec voais. these clubs passed through an outlined penod of pio bation and in the spi mg of 1924. ns a result of a questionnaire sent personally to each gn 1 student, the College Senate ruled that gn Is clubs might continue indefinitely at Penn State. The gills now leel that they are ready to take the next step in regard to colleg iate social societies; that before the end of the piesent semester thev hope to seeme neimission fiom the College authonties to petition for membership in national women's fraternities This desire of the dubs is based upon a sincere belief that nationals would be of veal value not only to their members but also to the College as a whole. \s someone lecentlv expressed it. “With clubs, we have all the disadvantages of nationals and none of the advantages ” This statement is perhaps one of the truest uttered in the girls’ campaign for lecognition. _ The chief argument against women’s fiatermties, held by a small minority, is a peisonal one; that Ihere.might be an element of unhappiness felt by those gills'who'are not included in- the membei ship of the organizations. Penn State women arc especially able to appieciate this claim, since according to the piesent rush ing svstem, everv girl student is requited to spend at least one voar here befoie being pledged by a society. This peiiod of wait ing is m itself an advantage because it is dui ing this time that a candidate must demonstrate her woithiness to be taken into the dub of hei choice. Moreover, the clubs now in existence wish to encourage and not at all to limit the founding of new oi sanitations m order that more gids may be included Exclusiveness is not carried to ex tremes at Penn State, and although the vciy nature of social life piesapes an exclusive attitude at any institution, this disadvan tage cited bv a mmonty, cited in a peisonal manner, should not lie permitted to stand m the way of the far greater benefit that nationals would be to the women of Penn State and to the College itself. The greatest, most important accomplishment of women s fraternities is that of placing the women of a college on a par with tiie men. both socially and in activities. The women’s fialcrnity also decides the relative position of women when colleges are com pnied. Because of their small number and the ummnoitanl posi tion assigned them here, girls have not the opportunities at Penn State which are offered at women’s colleges and co-educational institutions throughout the United States. Women’s national fraternities would give Penn State greater prestige and respect in (ollegiatc circles than it now enjoys. Moic girls would choose Penn State as their Alma Mater, and as the number of girls in creases, so do their privileges and opportunities. Scholarship is raised by the incentive to become national, and once national, the gills’ clubs would necessarily keep their high standard since the national officers of any fiatermty arc forced to cxcit great picshiue on that society’s chapters in regard to scholastic attainments. There is no doubt that women’s national fraternities would be a great improvement at Penn State and that llic effect would be immediately noticeable to the outside world— and commended A feeling picvails that there lies at the door of Penn State an oppoilunity; a foundling placed on the steps of a mansion. The child is one of good breeding, of ability—it is laid on the steps of a childless home. Penn State can do its best seivice by foster ing the infant rather than playing the Pharisee This newspaper, feeling that the time for women’s nationals is here, recommends j.ivorablc action on the question; to act negatively would be doing a great injustice to the aspirations of Penn Stale. !
