WOMEN |
INTRODUCING—
The women's page oC the COL
LEGIAN : the problems, pleas
ures, accomplishments, and opin
ions of the women of Penn State
will he herein set forth once ev
er.- week beginning now, and we
would .say forevermore, were it
not that we hold office only dur
ing good behaviour and are in
constant danger of losing this
gracious boon but lately bestow
ed upon US by the august board
of the Penn State COLLEGIAN.
In other words, this column is
for the service of the women of
the college: their activities will
he presented in it unified and
more comprehensive way than
was possible while the girls’
news was scattered throughout
the paper, or published four
times a year in Lion’s Tale. It
is also for their use: there will
be room here for any expression
of opinion they desire to make or
event they wish to announce.
The women’s editors ask the sup
port of all girls on campus and
in town, for it is their into "ft
which will give the column any
value it may have.
GIRLS’ RUSHING
Thank heaven, it’s oyer for
another year 1 At the eiftl of the
club rushing season many a co
ed relaxes gratefully into old
friendships with deadly rivals of
the past three weeks, and gazing
wistfully at her empty purse,
wonders, dubiously, if the game
is worth the price. She may feel
that dinners and movies have
brought results or she may be
ready to send a bill to the sub
ject upon whom these favors
were lavished but in either case
she is sure of one thing—that
the rushing season is entirely
too long.
The present system includes
personal rushing and one party
i\,r each organization during the
rushing season of two weeks,
which is followed by preferen
tial bidding and a one-week per
iod of silence, thus making in all
three weeks of constant tension
for clubs and rushees.
If clubs pledged girls just af
ter their arrival at Penn State
this length of lime might be de
sirable for all concerned, but
since girls may be bid only after
two semesters’, residence, two
weeks of rushing are unneces
sary. At the end of a year both
club members and new girls have
had ample opportunity, to form
a very fair estimate of each oth
er; to show what the relation of
the individual to the group might
be, is, chief purpose of
the rushing season in the fall,
and this is well accomplished by
the party given by each club as "a
whole. A rushing season just
long enough to allow for the five
parties—that is, one week—
would be adequate for all needs.
Parties should begin the first j
Monday night of the school year
and continue on Tuesday, Wed
nesday,- Thursday, and Friday
nights of that week, with the al
ternative of Saturday a'fternoon
for the club drawing Friday,
should they prefer it. Club lists
should reach the disinterested
person handling the bids by mid
night on the following Monday
and the replies from the rushee
should be in the mail by mid
night Friday, the period of sil
ence to extend from Tuesday
morning through Friday. This
plan would conclude the rushing
within two weeks.
The system used now is the
result of improvement over ear
lier ones and a great measure of
efficiency has been secured by
organized rushing parties and
preferential bidding. With, a
shorter season this efficiency
would be increased and friction
lessened. One week less of mis
ery—who could regret it?

Manhattan newspaper, the New York

more. The Little Symphony is one

Graduate Denounces
Materialistic Views
In Chapel Address
Rev. V. G. Burns ’IG addressed a
Dad’s Day audience in chapel Sun
day.
His talk was based on the subject
of stronger foundations for a new
day and especially upon the evils of
materialistic thinking. He spoke of
the'mystery and wonder of life which
science has tried to explain. “Power,
spirituality and lave eannot.be ex
plained by electrons,” said the Rev.
Burns.
Later Reverend Burns classified
materialism as a curse since it cuts
out inspiration, from life, making us
.selfish instead of spiritual, self-real
istic and sacrificing. These three
things he said were the foundations
of human society.
NEW EXTENSION SCHOOL
During the past week nature study
extension.schools backed by Penn
State were opened at Upper Darby and
at the Philadelphia normal school.
The school at Scranton is in its sec
ond year and has a total enrollment
of two hundred and thirty-five stu
dents.
A new state law requires public
school teachers to, have twelve credits
of nature study work and these exten
sion schools are the means by which
many of the teachers receive their
credits.
