Theie as Or telling when this enthusiasm will ar ive. but when it does come, it descends with all the fury of a ied.hot lance and pierces the various Wain pans of the assorted student justices with such force and emphasis, that it creates a logic that i finality itself The season, the Tribunal reports, that student customs ate tiavelling the doggy path to desk notion is that few cases are being dug up for its administi atien To remedy thy. truly sad situation the Student Ti ibunal, with tine Judicial solicitude, devises a cute for all ills Gene' ally the cute comes wi upped up in a "one w eelc campaign" for more and better customs en forcement When this happens the Tribunal thrives Two years ago, on noting a recurrence of the (headed disease, the querulous Tribunal revived Clean-up week It was very successful. The lieshmen raked the dead leases that fell from the trec3—it was the fall of the year•—ni ranged them in book foam and attacked them with the. The next day the trees dumped an even more abund ant clop of superfluous foliage on the campus Thc plocess was lepeated. Of coui se, the same than, happened daily after that and only because the freshmen grew into sophomm es was the leave cleaning business abandoned But the cessation did not mattes. College spirit, so long slumming (pardon) slumbering, became oven night a fierce and vital thing. And though it was now a thing of the flesh—the cu',toms, that is—the freshman lathers awed by then own geniu , ,, belmed in gi at ,,etition, gave three eheeis, and yawned After wintei's nibm aatien they appeared last week. The latest achievement of the Student Tubunal I was turned to pi =twat purposes yesterday. It P' was difficult to see how a lack of complaints ne cessanly meant a falling off in student customs, but the Ttibunal has eyes for the future, and this 'B week the sophomores and upperclassmen will turn into freshmen inspectoi s whose duty it shall be P to obsei ve that esmy moss-topped student has „r matches, black seeks, the pi oper deportment ` n At this late holm it appeals to us that Check-up weel , lucks something It scorns to have no prom- Isc of thulls—and a customs revival without Id tin ill , is a farce We must have thrills. There is no bullet way of securing these ne- I cessary concomitants than by turning loose the sophomores and freshmen and letting them have a snow ball light on some convenient spot like New Beaver Field of Allen street. It might even be called Snowball Week. Each freshman would be imam ed to tarry at least flu ee snowballs with the pi ivilege of hitting a sophomore on sight. Of I=lM=l==ME= and crack the in e , ,ident of the Ti 'banal of a 1, iFi t- mg athletic coach behind the ear, it would be un- iortimate, but as long as he would hit something beside , , windows, the pill pose M. the week would The canintv, will have been cleared of I)L fulfilled 'MON , . , customs will have been revived.

We mball have more snow CUTS REVERSED Is there a student in our midst who has not rejoiced with great rest when his pi ofessor fails to put in an appearance I oi a scheduled recitation or lecture? It there is, lie piobably would be loathe to step forth and admit it hidden as he is within the depths of obscui ity. Granted that our query would receive a unanimous negative answer, lust stop for a moment to consider the logic of that question. Good American dollars have been paid out at respective pockets in order that each one of the thirty-seven hundred odd students at Penn State can enjoy a college education. And how do the students attempt to justify the money thus ex pended', Simply by scheduling only the "easy" courses with a plentiful supply of vacant after noons in addition to various other sundries that constitute a "good" , schedule. It a professor does not arrive at the door of the class room before the last bell stops ringing the chances arc remote that he will find his 'schol ars' within. If the class does remain for the al lotted five, ten or fifteen minutes and the "prof" is still among the missing, there is an immediate and spontaneous acclamation (that disturbs ev ery other class room in the building) and the for tunate (?) students lose no time in disbanding. The fact that they were "cut" will serve as a topic for conversation throughout the rest of the day. The day seems brighter on such occasions, the stu dent is "tickled to death" because he was i elieved of one hour's imprisonment in the class room. As a matter of cold fact he was "cheated" out of an hour of lectuie or recitation that "was bought and paid for" out of a pi obable none too easy purse string. Two years ago an incident is recalled that will well illustrate this subject. In a French section a professorless class was assembled Five minutes elapsed. The group of students began to glow impatient. Six, seven minutes ticked off and at the suggestion of several members of the class, the group began a hasty exodus. That is, all but one member, a Japanese. Classmates returned and urged the Jap to leave. This he refused to tic, despite the pleadings of his bellow students Finally he said: "Why should I iron away from my professor? My lather give money to In mg me all the way from Japan to get education Now you want me to bun irom the man who would come to do what my father pay hun to do. I can not see it. I stay." The logic ot that simple ultimatum is clear. It merely brings to light the thoughtlessness of the aveiage college man. Millions of dollars are expended yearly for education in the higher in stitutions of learning and yet the colleges ale ci owded with students who are thrown into ecsta cies on the occasion of the professor "cutting" the class. It is something worth pondeung oven. Are we doing then fight thing? Are we giving our parents a square deal? It is co tainly food for thought. W.

Smnitz '2B Ithetl A Webb '2B ===M The Bullosopher's Chair Smithers—Say, old man. you seem quite preoccupied this Wh res on your mind' Bullosupher—Well, I read an article today that stm ted me to set loos reflection. For a long tune out paper has heen the subject of sesere er theism, not for any one thing in particular but just generally It has been accused of be ing dull, Inaccurate, uninteresting Well, this article, which was written by the editor of the Coe College Cos mos takes college neuspapers as a whole and finds the roue condition to, east in other institutions But what is mor. te• the point the author places the blame entirely on the college vanet. The news-editor will tell you that looking through the exchanges is his most loathsome task I have tried It myself, Smithers, and I find that, stripped of Its local appeal, the average college nev.spaper is little less than a meaningless splatter of Ink. The front page is usually cluttered with sports events, announcements of meetings, to general a lot of filler Even more glaring is the make up ComparinL several issues of the sane paper usually .liows a stet otype form which becomes tiresome and de tracts from the general value of the sheet. But that alone could hardly ne the cause of the seem . . mg ineffecti‘eness of the college paper. The at tale Ire ferred to indicts the neuspaper with a lack of critical power It is not critical enough and, therefore is not self ethical enough Some of the more intelligent newsprpers have criticisms of the administlation or student body, but never of the student newspaper -In connection with this, Smithers, I venture to say that the paper which does crit icize usually encounters many knocks and in some cases censure, which leads me to believe that thole is a crying need for morn intelligent readers But to return to our subject, a more aggressive, crit ical attitude on the part of the student newspapei is greatly to be desired. The paper Is themouldm of college sentiment and should take the lead in obtaining favorable I legislation in student government matters Of course the editors can do little if the student body does not have the critical attitude also One of the saddest departments of the average college newspaper is its editorial columns. Too often the column is filled with nothing but rah-cah, blah-bluh bunk, which shows nothing but a lack of inspnation This in iticisin, while applying mostly to the small college paper, also holds for many of the more prominent publications. Yes, fear that a great deal of the blame for ineffective college apers can bo placed upon the newspaper oiganwation it elf. .mithers—But, surely this doesn't apply to the COLLEG AN. :• ullosopher—Perhaps not. But there is something wrong rah either the papal or the readers for the two are an , arently not in sympathy with each other The editorial obey of our paper has endeavored to fill the columns with onstauchve criticism, and too often the criticisms have not been taken in the spirit in which they ,ere given Perhaps r little more constructive self.criticism both on part of ,the,,local. newspaliet and: on;the:part of, each stu dent Will bung about a clbser hiirmenVi , The_student paper should bo pointed to with pride and each atudeirt should Seel it his duty to place the paper in its proper po4dion of respect At Montgomery's WEDNESDAY, MAR. 2 VALUES UP TO $1.50 3 Pairs for $1.50 Specials for Silk and Lisle, WOol, and Silk and Wool Hose For This Day Only 55 Cents IREPENN STATE COLLEGIAN Preferred Blond Relates Meteoric Ascent to Fame Within a few minutes, a group of mlmarely, attracted by the beaming rerzonality that scorns to arhate even through his golden mop, had gatherec about Whitey Kaufman "Wondered how you e'er Olgarnzed som bunch!" an achniiing bysta ides sentinel Whitey, asommod itmg, tool, up the question "Six years ago," he began, "a feu boys horn Lebanon Valley college locked up a small band, practiced cc casionally and decided to toy then hand at musaral luck. iWe seen com bined with several ploinis.sz players I em Franklin and Maishall college. aLanged a smooth combination and set With to try our lurk at Virginia university "Much In nor surprise, we went °v v.. lug."
