FOR YOUR SOMNAMBULATION
This week-end Penn State will doff the cap
and gownish atmosphere (the idea') of the stu
dent and don (sic’) the gay, caic-free attitude of
tho reveler. 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. Eacli
man i on un ,»v .1, hia actions are the actions of
us all May u.e impiessions earned home by our
visitors t- j ether than detract fiom, the
gloiyofoui unia Mater.
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,

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.

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

‘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
