MAY 25, 1926 COLLEGIATE JOURNALISM—THEN AND NOW The cm rent issue of The Nation comments on College Journ alism and its phenomenal growth in the past few* years “Undei giciducite journalism,'’ the author writes, "is not the pale growth of a few* yeais ago A new* and healthy spirit is manifest in man/ college papers No subicct is now* taboo that affects the intei esi ol the learners and no college official is immune from ciiticism and publicity.” , , In the past, college publications wcie mere chionitles ot events on the campus, the editorials w*eie Idled with tearful, wail ing pleas against walking on the newly-sown glass or bemoaning the lack of "spiut.” We now find that a great number of univer sities aie itinning dailies which suipass some city papers in Q 1 )*"" ity. The editorials are discussions of live questions, vital to the undei graduate and faculty member alike. The “bull-session has indeed gone to pi ess Topics finnkly broached around the stud>- ialde in the evening now are cast into piinted slugs and placed in the collegiate editoi ml columns. , Editors aie reaching the point where they write what they think But, as The Nation puts it. absolute freedom of expiession has been thwarted gieatlv by college piesidents and faculty mem l)c»i s. "It is diflicult for college presidents to accept the new stu dent paper How pleasant the good old days when the paper was a publicity sheet foi the institution, pi omoting docility among the students with its editorials on College Spirit* Editor after editoi lias been dismissed with the exolanatoiy phrase ‘unfavoiablc pub licity’ or ‘immatuie judgment Case after case of ccnsoiship is cited; editors are. dismissed or publication is suspended, but the spirit of the new* journalism carnes on It is true that after a confab with the piesidcnt, the lire of the voung college editoi usually is cooled. At times lie be comes an unthinking radical simply for the sake of being progics sive, but the maiority of cases show that the editor is sincere in his purpose and expresses the thought of the student body. We hate to classify student papers Most of them aie wags; publicity sheets telling the woild how good old Pow-Wow Univer sity is. Some of them are odious excursions into the literaiy; collections ot signed ai tides to fill up the columns The smallei percentage may be classified as newspapers expressing student opinion and this class may be divided into those with and without supervision; admimstiational supervision which lcscmblcs a swoi d of Damocles dangling over the heads of the staff. The matching song of college newspapeis is "How Dry Wo Aie ” It should be "How Wet We Aie ” (This expression fiom the collegiate slang vocabulary, not from the minutes of the Li quoi Investigation Committee) The "wetness” comes not from saying too much but lather from saying too little. It comes, then, Uom suppression and not fiom expiession. It takes time and couiage to rise fiom bulletin board to news paper. Collegiate journalism is piogressmg. Umvei sally, it has vet to arrive But the day is nearing when all college papers will ieach the heights accredited to the progressives The time also is appioaching when editors will have the freedom of expression enjoyed hy some uncontrolled piofcssional publications TOO MANY WIVES Every now and then we read or hear of a man who has too main* wives oi a woman who has 100 many husbands. We liken these people to the college student who has too many activities Instead of becoming wedded to one sport or to one diamatic as sociation or one campus publication.' these "prominent” men dab ble in everything until the Dean calls a conference and shows them their scholastic "attainments” to date. The man with too many wives is a gay old dog, to say the least What with slipping away fiom his "lawfully wedded” fiau to do a little gallivanting on the side and with his faculty tor ex cuse-making becoming ever keener, he has the laugh on his frau— toi the picscnt. But after a while, triend wife notices that hub bv’s dress suit smells of a scent which she never uses and, glow ing suspicious, she looks into his pockets or his private drawer in the esci itoire Usually, she gets results—and the goods on friend husband. Hubbj makes an exit. Just so with the "big men mound the U.’ Sports in season, dramatics m and out of season, Mexican athletics, plenty of publi cations, lots of honoiary jewelry—all these, administered in large doses, account for three oi more bclovv-grades and a letter home to papa And a few moie of these laige doses invariably connote* anothci letter home to papa, this one not as a warning but as a lequest fiom sonny for lailroad fare. Out wheie eveiy penny counts and where most of them count out loud, a man can’t get away with too many wives and keep eveiy thing undei control And in college a man can’t satisfy too many ciavings foi activity and still be numbeied among those pi exeat. A hard-earned sheepskin is much more valuable than a bunch of doublc-X, pietty watch chaims A FOUR-BIT WEEK-END Daitmouth College, sui rounded by the mountains of New Hampshire, has a chain of cabins to which groups of students hike whenever they feel fiee to hold a week-end, stag affair. The cab ins arc open to all students and are in use the year 'round. Just such an idea is that of the Y. M. C. A. of Penn State in establishing the Andy Lytle memoi ial cabin. A chain of log huts, not essentially diminutive, would certainly enhance the woodland tups which are held out as added inducements for the Nittany college. Several thousand dollars have been appropriated by the “Y in older to build the Andy Lytle cabin as it now stands. The cabin is not completed, however, and the "Y” needs more money to insure the carrying out of the project. It is not outside any one’s means to contribute fifty cents, and a half-dollar spent in such a cause surely must be a good investment. A privilege for the sLudcnt certainly merits his support. “Y” ADOPTS PLAN TO GAIN OBJECTIVE Seven Issues Foi Coming Yeai To Help Students Find Best In Life .
