Books will be laid aside and studies will maik time until the House Party celebiation has ended. May evciyone pal taking in the fes tivities derive full enjoyment, may each feel that the momentuiy biealt in the gnnd ol college stud ies has been fully justified. But into this spirit of the carnival there creeps a note ol caution. Penn State is known to the outside woild by the impression made upon ouv visitois. Fov will stop to analyze the sit uation icaulting from two months with little out side social contact. Foi the most pait impres sions will result fiom surface observation. Each student when he throws off the lolc of the scholar should be careful not to throw off the the mantle of the gentleman. Good taste and gentlemanly conduct shoukl be the keynote of the social code foi this week-end Moie wc could not ask, less we could not expect. Each man is his own master. He must guide his actions by his own sense ot standards Public opinion may play a laige pait, but the responsibility lies with the individual. Another class will be initiated into the vag aries of the House Party season. Let us hope its mcmbeis will not find the true spirit of the oc casion clouded by the thoughtless acts of a few participants. When Penn State undertakes to entertain ladies, or for that matter, anyone, Penn State’s student body should be made up of gentle men. On past occasions Penn State has been se veiely cntici/ed for the disordeily conduct of a smaU number ol men. While this is not peculiar to our institution, there is no reason foi using that alibi as a refuge. House Party is an event at which nothing that is not m the best of taste or foreign to the spirit of gentlemanly conduct should be m evi dence For the welfare of Pcnri State all the request* of the College authorities, supplemented by i:\hv dua! staudanls. should be followed.

PENN STATE AND PENN “Four minutes to.go! Will he never get through?” No, this is not a football name, just the thought of passing through tho hard-shelled cerebellums of over half of the members of each lecture class as the end of the lioui nears. Why these so-teimed students come to college is cer tainty a mystery. Little lespect is shown tho instructor and still less thanks does he get foi trying to drive home a few helpful facts. After attending a lecture Saturday in one of the medical classes at the University of Penn sylvania, we arc thoroughly convinced that some thing is lacking at Penn State. Thioughout the entire talk, scientific as it was, marked attention was paid to the speaker, and at the close of the lectin e, which, by the way, was four minutes after the bell, Iho members of the class showed their appreciation of the mstiuctors by applauding vig oiously—andjhis was no exception to the rule. Those men were there to giasp the informa tion impai ted to them, not simply to pass away an horn which had to be endured before the foot ball game. A little more appieciation of what oui instructors aie trying to do for us would cre ate a hotter atmosphere in the classroom here. If it is possible that there aie students in the class who do not care to listen to what the lectuier has to say, they at least should be cour teous enough to refrain fiom some of the “small boy” antics so much in evidence of late A little thought might remedy this, and a little more thought might show us that we owe our profes sors a little thanks. They get very little now and we should be the ones to show’ our apprecia tion. I PORNOGRAPHIC LITERATURE AND MR. MURPHY We are informed by one J. Peter Murphy that “what we need w more Bible reading.” This comes through the medium of mail in <\ letter ad dressed to the paper. Well, 111 the behalf of the student body and Mr. Murphy, we have* decided to reprint his letter in the editorial column. It urns like this: - President Vice-President - Tieasurcr “I watch with Chiistmn interest jour Bullosopher’s noble attempt to lure the student body from its lubricious pursuit of pornographica! literature "What we need is more Bible leading I suggest that you cr.couiage it aggressively Peihups the most efficacious way would be to let tho corpus disupulorum know that there aie moie pearls of smut in the Old Testa ment than there are m all the other aphrodesiacal books penned xince the dawn of Christendom “Vows for the greater glory of God, “J. Peter Murpliy “P S 111 case you publish this, please omit my name if posable.. J P. M.” Edih**’ In-Chier Assistant Editor Managing Editor Women’s Editor B. Kaplan ’2B ]’ U Smaltz '2B Now, just what do you think of that? We don’t know what to make of it. i\lr. Murphy, whom vve believe to be a fictitious character, seems to be trying to take a fall out of the Bullos opher at the expense of the Old Testament. Then again, maybe lie’s got the interest of the chuich at heai t but has expressed it illy. What do you think? 1 We would like to make a few comments foi the benefit of the person who signed lnmself J. Peter Murphy. We think he may be the type who looks diabolically .through Proverbs and a few other books in order to find what he calls “pearls of smut.” But, if he’s not that sort, he need not have associated the Bible with these gems of por nography, as he classifies them. Maybe Mr. Murphy has never read Rabelais, Boccacio, and a few others. Maybe he has con fined his leading directly to the Bible. We would suggest that he overlook these “peails of smut” m the Bible or ti eat them as open-minded and edu cational, instead of citing them as “pearls of smut.” We think Mr. Murphy, if he would read the Bible opcn-mindedly, would not be forced to mention his experience with the Bible in order to be sarcastic about the contents of the ai tide by the Bullosopher. We criticize Mr. Murphy also upon his faulty spelling. Wheeler Lord, Jr. The Bullosopher’s Chair SESSION I. Mr. Snutheis, what do you think of this let- How well I remember the first time I ever saw* you to ‘speak to.’ You were a haughty (not by nature, but rank) senioi, I an bumble freshman, too proud to wear a jacket am! nfinid to wear a coat’ You spoke to me kindly—how astonished I was! In my bashfulness I had always eonsideied the seniors as a superior race But now I saw that, like Southey's ‘Eroenia,’ they could stoop to love a mortal. You were the first senior I ever vis ited, and, if you recollect, it was no easy task to induce me to visit >*ou, and then I did it stealthily. ‘Eheau’ jam satis!’ inctlimks I heiu jou exclaim, but they are'(those dajs of freshniamo innocence). Snutheis, that letter was written by a lad m college some ninety years ago, a day when the colleges of the whole country might be counted on the fingers of one hand. His name is famous now—and famous because he could write a letter like the above. Yes, genius is exotic, eccentric, isolated. But the truly great is he who feels the bonds of human kinship, and is proud of his share m communal tics. Ileic’s another letter, Smithers—from a Penn State man attending one of the laige western uni versities: “I notice one rather pleasant change from the Penn State Campus The freshmen, although under customs, are treated as human beings; the customs aie reasonable and mild; bird cages, four-foot signspnnd two-foot wooden cigars ore hover seen. ' -Somi/how 1 suspect that the fresh men heie think just as much of the University m spifaof those deficiencies ” * '~" w Other Dress Furnishings To Meet Your Needs For Formal Occasions SHIRTS WITHOUT A STRUGGLE (open back) THE NEW KUM-A-PART STUDS VESTS IN BLACK AND WHITE (single, double) TIES IN BUTTERFLY AND BAT SHAPES • DRESS OVERCOATS DERBY HATS MONTGOMERY’S “A something glittering in the sun For mem’ry to look back upon” ” SESSION 11. TUXEDOS s2s—s4o-$55 AT PENN STATE ‘iajii FiJilsN STATE COLLEGIAN Sanctumonials In several recent issues, we have concerned ourselves with the reai inngemont of football schedules hav ing the end m view of eliminating games between unevenly matched teams. We have tried to piove that this can be done by pointing out that p mallor teams necessarily meet eithei opponents of gicatei or equal abil.ty, while m the Western Conference, the match-makers voluntarily pick foi the gtealer number of their games teams more easilj* thou equal than il customaiy’in the East Obviously if such a plan weie fol lowed in the East, the conditions sur rounding football would undergo a ladical change The attendance would, of course, be effected In all probability, the slvle of pi i> would -Iso be revised. Let us deal with the question of at tendancemnd subsequent gate receip*s first. We have only to look to the West to see how the public would fa vor a schedule calling fo: successive games with opponents of equal piovv css. Football probably has more fol lowers in the Middle West than in any other section of the counliy The l.een rivalry fostered bv the Confer ence is lespomsble foi this .Groatei crowds flock to the games While we in the East catei to ciovvds of ten thousand for the oidinaiv game oa the schedule, athletic authonttc3 m the Big Ten league aie disappointed if less, than twentv-five thousand show up for the contest. Onlv our large*! games attract that number. Houevci, one cannot blame the football fan for staying away fiom the oidinaiy game in the East He know 3 in advance that the team from the smaller institution has very H tle chance of winning Sometimes, of course, a small college is favored to win, but these instances are few and far between. Last Saturday’s attendance show that the fan is diawn only when the outcome of the contest i° in doubt. Huge crowds saw the games between Yale and Daitmouth, Piinceton and Navy, Syracuse and Army, Columbia and Ohio State and NYU and Tulane. If exhibitions of this character were played every week It is highly probable that the total attendance foi the yeai would be much gicatei than at the present lime. A less intensive game would prob ably develop under the new plan. In stead of pieparing for each major op ponent foi weeks in advance, each contest would be icgardcd as just an othei game The lcsuldng exhibi tion would piobably be less inteiest ing from the standpoint of the ex pert, but much better for the players on both teams —The Columbia Spectator HERE’S YOUR CHANCE!
