Both of the days which aie put at the dis posal of our parents aie institutions of the stu dents, and it is the duty of the Student Council to impiore on the progiams \vhcne\ or it is telt that such impiorements are needed. The Coun cil is ot the opinion that a combined Pai cuts’ Da> would hold moie advantages than the sepal ately observed events which are now customaiy. Foiemost among the advantages possessed by the new propos.! is that the day would be one of true familj relations, and that appeals would be made to family interests rathei than to only one or the other ot our patents. The College, lie coiding to the sentiment ot the Council meeting, would do well to foster this family mteiest and create a sliong bond between the College as a iamily, and the families of the students Anothei impoitnnt consideration is that ot admission to athletic contests. It has been sug gested that students legistei their fathers and mothers at least foity-eight horns before the oc casion has its official inauguration. In so doing, students would make suie that a “guest card,” as a token ol' affection, would be turned o\er to the father and mother, and that the parents would be entitled to full “athletic pmileges” for the date oi dates boi ne by the card. The “guest card” would pi event encroachment upon the priv ilege by outsidei s those who might attempt to take advantage of the-Athletic Association should tree admission bq granted to parents. , Thirl fiatcinities. might -ha\e Parents’ Day dinners instead ot separate* banquet's on'different days is anothei distinct advantage In this man ner, sti ongei ties might be made to connect the fraternity with the home instead of with “mo ther and “dad.” The fact that usually two tables aie made use ot at housepaity eliminates the objection that perhaps the dining room would be eiowded. Another feature of the pioposed Parents’ Day is that both mothers and dads would be able to enioy a football game. The spilit which pci sists during football season begins to lag during the warm spring, and the advantages of having both fathers and motheis here during the tall are enhanced when one considers the element of col lege spiut which is present during the gudiron season Theie me minor disadvantages to the scheme, such as rooming arrangements, but these may be o\ercome if the student body will co-operate un lescncdly with the Student Council. A Parents’ Day might mean more to Penn State than any occasion other than Alumni Day which the Col lege now observes. ONCE MORE—“HATS OFF” Hats are perfectly concct when worn as a head covering during the winter months—that much is agreed upon by every member of the three upper classes at Penn State. But let any jumoi come foith with the state ment that members ot his class should go hatlcss and thus command the same pnvileges accorded semois in this respect, and his request is greeted with a scowl and accompanied by a negative shake of the head by the bare-headed senior fiom whom he seeks the request. All this was evident during sevcial Student Council meetings last spring. Junior represen tatives in that niling body attempted then to oust the age-old tradition that only seniors were al lowed to appeal hatless. They Jailed. Follow ing the defeat of the motion, juniors staled that they, as members ot* the class ot 1927, would do away with the ruling as soon as they assumed the power that attaches to each senior class. Whclh ci these statements carry any weight or aie onl> “sour grapes” remarks is yet to be seen. In the issue of Tuesday, March twenty-ninth, Iheic appeared m these columns the follov mg statement: • President Vice-President - Treasurer “The motion for a hatlcss nuuoi class was tabled at the last Council session Unless the members of 1927 aie able to piove to the satis faction of the semois that thud year men should go hatless theie is no hope till next > eai Unless the present limiois piove that next ycai they will be willing to doff their hats, the battle is lost 1927 has no choice but to take the bull b> the hoi ns.” Editor in-Chief Assistant Editor Managing Editor Women’s Editor Any action on the pai t oi 1927 w ill be w althcd with interest. In the lpng list of scmoi bodies that ha\e held sway at Penn State, one class must be a martyr. One class must allow the gi oup be low to escape a tradition that the class itself has been torced to endure Will 1927 be the martyr,—oi will 1927 cast the stones 7 R B Kilborn '2° W J. McLaughlin '2B That at least one of Penn State’s honoiaiy fraternities is pioving itself worthy oi the hon ored position it now holds is evidenced by the ie cont announcement of the launching of an annual state-wide mtcrscholastic contest m journalism m secondaiy schools, inaugurated by the local chap ter of Pi Delta Epsilon, honoiaiy collegiate jour nahstic liatei mty. The conception of the project is possible onlv to a gioup ot hve-wiie enthusiasts With no es tablished lines to follow, with no assuiance that the contest will be a financial success, the local Pi Dell chapter is biavmg the risks And whv 7 Not foi any seliish aim, but “to fostei the spirit ol journalism” and to advertise Penn State in a way that it has ne\ ei befoi c been ad\ ei tised That the entei pi ise merits commendation is jno\ed bv the men who have consented to act in the capacity of judges. Backed by the good w ill ol the faculty and woiking thiough the soundl> oignm/cd machineiy of the student journalistic fraternity. the contest is cei tam to bi mg ioi th the desired results, and Penn State will have beneiit ted by the cffoits of one ot its honoiaiy fiatei al lies.
