Each college has a song in which great trib
ute is paid to the college in the name "Alma
Illatm." It Is customary for the student bodies
01 all these colleges to stand with by ed heads
while the song is being played ; It is customai y,
we say. Reverence is shown to the college when
stucienl body remains still dining the Playing of
one song on the tuneful roster Respect for his
college is shown by the student who refuses to
mme hi , gangling arms and legs about while he
singing "Alma Mater."
Thcrc is all too little respect shown for Penn
State by the imtous fools who insist on donning
their hats and coats while the band plays "Alma
Mater." A week ago, Penn State was shamed by
thc conduct of the students who went through all
sm contra lions while the "Alma Mater" was
beinf, s °iced. Let's stand pm fectly motionless
dumb the len minutes we should mime and re
spect oui Alma Matei
'MUM AND CONSEQUENCES
There's a social encounter of wits named
"Truth and Consequences," in which one has the
choice of two ways in AN hlCh to answer a question
asked by the master of ceremonies; either that
of telling the truth m of taking the consequences.
We intend to tell a little truth because asking the
question now would do no good, and then we'll
ask a question and see if there will be anything
proposed as a consequence
Throe is a poetic something in campaigning
for a new labm atm y or a bronze tablet for a gate
to anything. But when there is a camp•ugn foi
funds to keep buildings in a state of repair, some
one is sine to say "I left my pocketbook in my
othei suit."
Have you ever noticed the white (sic!) walls
of the inteuen of the Auditorium" Have you
es e. noticed that on those walls, miniature cany
on• run merrily and irregularly then• courses"
Have you noticed that, when you are sitting en
tin ailed by an entertainer, the building seems to
be falling with a meat crash: on turning in your
sent, you realize that it is nothing more than a
late caller gently closing one of the doors?
Their is such an atmosphere about the Ai
mmy. too. The seats which tend to project one,
face forward, upon the playing floor; the big door
that ovens and shuts every forty-five seconds.
Can'f Student Council, in its next meeting, find
some plan by which the walls and the doors and
the bedraggled Ind ow-shades m the Auditorium
may be renewed? A student campaign, entirely?
Once each yea', when we hear the public press
statement that "wm k on the new rem eational
cents:, holding five thousand" will begin, we have
always put that down as bunk personified. We
know that sometime, somehow, someday, that
work will begin, but not for awhile. Can we find a
way IP which to remedy the evil seating predica
ment in which we find the Armory?
Will we keep our buildings in repair and good
condition, or will one sit back and hope and, do
nothing about the matter" You've heal d the
truth; is hat ai e the consequences?
Ask a senior how many winter sports there
are at Penn State and he will answer: "One; fight
ing for a seat in the Ai mory !"
,
Remembering that all our winter sports at
Penn State are indoor athletics, why not propa
gandize ica a winter carnival and a good ski
jump9 • We have enough winter at Penn State;
mm e than enough. We take no ads antage of the
snow other than ci eating dangerous slides all os er
the salessalks of the 'limn. A ski-jump on the
golf course, patterned on the order of the famous
lump constructed on the Dartmouth course, would
be one of the liveliest things that could ever hap
pen to this institution. Here we ai e: buried in
center of Pennsylvania, where winter holds sway
foe all the months allotted by the calendar, and
s.o have no outside M. inter sports; No ice-skating
facilities; no skiing proclivities because there's no
good place in nhich to indulge in the great Nor
their sport.
With a little labor, a good ski-jump could be
constructed at the approach to the second hole on
the golf course and the fairway of the short,
downhill third hole What's your thought there?
