News Editor This Issue FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1927 THE MUETZE-AND WHY NOT? - Many years ago in Old Heidelberg, the custom was established or having two a:u•i-colored stu dent caps: the muetze for street wear, and an other. the name of which at this moment escapes us, for dress. The muetze recently has found a place on the American college campi, and is being worn, under vau•ious appellations, at many of the larger•, more progressive • universities. Fraternity colors are being incorporated into the muetze, and the "Ctik-: torn of wearing the qUaint European cap is rap idly being taken up by fraternity men throughout the United states, and notably in the larger in- Witutions of the East. Chatterers; of coarse, must have Isomething to keep their jaws moving. Chatterers, because they talk so much and to no point, usually have a great deal to do with formulating the truck onen ly-advertised as "campus opinion." This sort of opinion is going to hinder the wearing of the muetze at Penn State unless those students who have purchased Heidelberg caps in fraternity col tom have courage enough to dispel the doubtful clouds of talk and tattle, and swing out with the new headgears. The first man to wear a dinner jacket at a formal 'affair must have felt quite "blotto:" and that situation must not be allowed Co prevent Penn. State from - retaining her individuality. The muetze is a harmless, prepossessing, colorful lit tle cap, and the wearing of muetzes in fraternity shades certainly would brighten the dull days of winter in the mountains. .Just to start an argu ment: we're for 'em. How about a "Swing Out Hay?" (Perhaps they'd match up well with Lion Suits, too.) •1 NEW MOMS OPERANDI Student Board and Women's Student Govern ment. having been forced to chew and digest, some little time ago, a case whichZcouldhaVe.been avoided. eCcominendeo; that ':cetiairi' rules ' - be cluitiged ,in the WOmen's - ,,Handbo(4'.:lT.WaS done Orectf the new rules ititidsici - th e d - effedAliat' chaperons are unnecessary should a Co-ed have occasion to dine at a fraternity house on Sunday. That rule is wise enough. And then there's another one to be printed which will clear up a haze that exists in many fog-enveloped minds. And it means just that, while in State College, students are' under the juristlielion and supervision of the College authorities. This also takes into effect the per iods before and after regular vacations, including Christnuis. Easter, Thanksgiving, Memorial Day andah—Penn Game. And it's another wise rule —it's going to, keep some students' from disting-: wishing themselves by trying to answer "yes" of : "No." I'ENN STATE A. AND M After due deliberation we quote from a rather reputable Pittsburgh daily, the following words, contributed by a former Penn State student. "When the Land-grant College Commitision investigates the Pennsylvania State College, it will find an institution headed by a man who knows nothing abOut agriculture and whose de sire is for a university like Pitt." • Our smile smiled, we enter immediately into the, more serious aspect of the statement. The writer follows the abrWe'eye . -opener *with the ad monition that since the University of Pennsyl vania, Pittsburgh university and - Carnegie Tech are so well equipped to take care of the more ele vating sort of thing, Penn State in deference to these more worthy institutiOns,,Must restrict its field entirely to agriculture and the mechanic arts. Of the $4,234,500 which the College 'is now asking of the PennSylstnia legislatUre, this "short horn" alumnus pertinently ash = just 'he* much will be used to "promote agriculture.": Quite a bit We venture. But on trended knees We Okay, thatit is not: devoted to the promotion of en egg-laying contest, the lack of which," the writerPoints:Mit puts this State so fin. behind ninny, many others: Eggs! Certainly a big b•soe t. spme people, bat ,just .as certainly not vital to the welfare of tomorrow. Balance the thing a hit. On the one hand is a Penn State devoted to hen-raising and sledge-swinging and on the other is a Penn State not competing with, but aiding other Penn sylvania institutions in the education of Pennsyl vania youth. What is an under-sized egg as com pared with an under-sized cranium? But to quote this over-zealous writer further. "If the Commission compels Penn State to quit dreaming of competing with Pitt and Car negie Tech, and makes her become what she was supposed to be primarily and spend her money on farmers and mechanics, iL will be doing good ser vice to the State." - President Vice-President - Treasurer Eilitcr to-ehief Assistant Editof M==l MMMIII Pennsylvania for bigger nail better hens!

Or just plain hooks. In other words, we'd like to have, please, more parking space for wraps. To go into the history of the case: It's un fortunate but mandatory that heavier-than-air wraps be worn this kind of weather. Somebody started it and it's still being done. Therefore, wo arrive at the admission by both sides that them are wraps requiring parking space. Where? is question. The Registrar sadly enough did not compute the congestion of Hardin Halls in allotting the classrooms, and hence the usurpation by the stu dents of even standing rotan. For evidence we refer the honorable judges to !Abend Arts, Old Main, and the Engineering alphabet during the class-change period. .Eurtherand more concrete evidence will be gladly furnished at request. 'l'oo many fedoras and square backs are re placing ,jam :a embellishments. I knee we ad vocate and request that bids for adequate check ing facilities be sought at once. Hooks, plain hooks, in the walls.may alleviate our dilemma. At any rate, will some one start the ball rolling on a Hatrack fund by stepping forward with the limt dime? -P. R. Sinnltz Ye editor in quandary his feeble brain cloth rack. He searches for a potent quip, a pretty pun to crack. Student ills provide his theme, though sometimes this proVes meagre, and though his thread be bare 'and worn, he spins with fingers eager. The Council here proposes song; instruc toys cut their classes. The'prexy meets a single stit° and -.net expected m asses. tlltnnni 'With! with famous smoke, grovel their ways about, find ing fault and mending not at all, without a doubt. That college there, where trees grow tall, they say is useless now; the thing to'-'do is place all shales behind a rusty plow. Solutions to these things and more, ye writer must devise. His mouth is tight, his fingers long, he uses ears and eyes. I his every power must al ways live, his thought well never drop. The midst of things about Ithn lies, he thinks not where to stop. , An idea he! 0, muses please, be kind to him once more. Suggest to him what he may laud, or what lie may deplore. And should he make a step that's false, keen men on him will pounce. "See here. What's this? T. told you so. Your brain weighs not an ounce." A. lesser moment though, he writes a page or two that's fair. This favor then runs highly, though We grant th' occasion rare. A grin sardonic on his face, he takes the good and bad. He can not be made angry; he will not be made glad. .The hard life is a merry life,daily impossible's done. A task it is to smaller folk, the editor makes it fun.
