DECEMDKK it. 1020 TIIK IXTEKFUATKitNITV (OtNCH Now. a certain fraternity elected as it? repre tentative u the Imerfraternity Council a certain rnembei o: that fraternity. Obviously the certain ; fraternity could not do otht*rwis<‘. Now. aj-fain. , this certain member ot the raid fraternity laden “to do right" by b\s fraternal organization, and ; acnuaml said oig-mization with the hy-laws ot the ! Interfraternity Council. Result: public censure; for the fraternity because of the “devil-may-care attitude of the representative to the Council. ; The aforementioned representative should have ; acquainted his brothers with the by-laws of the ; Council, and he hail two ways in which to do this ; verv thinjr. One was to address the chair m the■; Afondav night chapter conclave following the; meeting at which the Council had passed the; rmich-talked-abnut rule—and to tell the brothers; just what had happened at the iasl I. !•. 0- gath ering. The oilier path oi>en to him was to insist that the chapter's mimeographed copy of the Council's “Constitution and Hy-i.aws" be read j ill the chapter meeting. Obviously, the represen- j taiivc did neither. He failed in his duty—and lus j fraternitv is the goat. As there is some truth in the qualifying ‘ Ig- j norancc of the law excuses no one." there must; be a penalty doled out to the offending fraternity. The penalty appears in print today, ihe Inter fraternity Council musi lie commended for the prompt action taken in disposing of the affair. And the "offending" fraternity should lie com mended (we're hoping, only) tor privately “bawl ing out” the representative who threw the wrench into tiie machinery. The representatives who make up tiie Inter fralcrnitv Council must learn that they are NOP figure-heads, and that they have responsible posi tions to fill. When askeil for reports at their fra ternity meetings, they probably answer: “Grand Insoluble Nitrate. Sir: L have no report.” The sooner these scene-shifting slecpy-hcads hear the alarm clock, the quicker Amen! “DRAGONS AT PLAY” Sometime, somewhere, some one remarked that “pedagogues have no time for the lighter things in life." Whosoever said that, friend, was not wise. Pedagogues do have time for the lightei things—ami that time is shortly before Christmas recess. Tor one night, at the most out-of-the-way place they can (inti, the nimble-wits of;the facility (no libel intended) run rampant— and. God love 'em. they deserve that one night! Who Clin sav that .thcKngdish' department is not versatile, that the German department is. not humorous, that the Mathematics department is not wittv. that the Classical l.anguage section is not fiery, that the Deans are not possessed of a funny-bone? Who. we ask. can say ail this? He does not live who can point to the satellites of the scholarly nebula as devoid of accomplishments other than degrees. The student body, however, lias never known the intricate details of these faculty orgies. COLLEGIAN reporters have never been admitted to those secret functions. Hut—HUT—a ladder outside a half-open window, a reporter with a good ear and a fast-moving pencil—and the theory of the stolid professor is exploded for good and ail. The startling expose is on the front page. Head it and enjoy it—for tomorrow we'll all he suffering from diabolically-conceived ten-minute quizzes. Hut it's worth it—even the apology! "Dragons at Play." Hey! Hey! RESOLVED: THAT Op. Saturday evening, there was a debate be tween Washington and Jefferson College and Penn Slate in the Auditorium. Just how many per sons were aware of that fact prior to the event is a matter for conjecture. Less than two hundred people attended. There is room in the Auditor ium for more than live times that number. It is only too true that the same building .would be filled to overfil l ing if it were known that Paul Whiteman would appear. Thousands would turn out and pay money to listen to “jazz,” while a mere handful shows sufficient interest in debating to attend the first intercollegiate verbal engagement of the year for the Penn State foren sic team. The lack of attendance on .Saturday night in dicates nothing more than traits of mental lazi ness and intellectual indifference on the part ot' the student body and others. Exceptional speak ing and well-advanced arguments rewarded the few who comprised the audience.
