Teleohonet 202• W. bell Oillee Count: 11 :00 • to to 12.00 to. 4 00 to 5 00 to to TUESDAY, APRIL 26, 1927 FROM THE DARKNESS COMES LIGHT For years the Penn State Athletic Association has merely existed—more in name, appaiently, than in fact. Up until the present time, the af fair. of the Association were carried on by a com- , mittee of seven alumni without any faculty or student representation whatever. This method of management has caused growing dissatisfac tion on the part of faculty, students and alumni. It was to alleviate such unrest, that an athletic advisory committee was appointed to investigate existing conditions with the view toward finding a solution that would meet the approval of the three aforementioned factions—faculty, students and alumni. The findings and recommendations of the alumni committee together with that of the faculty and student committees are printed else whei e in this paper. The Penn State Athletic Board of Control may soon replace the present Athletic Association pro viding that the Ancient body votes favorably on proposed changes. The Board of Athletic Control will be an active group where the present Athletic Association was not—the latter solely because of the difficulty in getting all the grad uate members together for meetings. The Penn State Athletic Board of Control (how well that name sounds!) will number, in membership, thir teen: three students, four faculty members from the College Senate, five members from the Alumni Association and one member of the Board of Trus tees who also shall be from the alumni body. Among the four proposed changes made by the alumni athletic advisory committee was the elimination of all athletic scholarships at Penn State. Athletic scholarships have pi obably ex isted here since the first recognition of Blue and White teams: to do away with them, to abolish athletic scholarships would indeed be a radical Procedure but often the radical change is for the bettei. The ,time is soon coming in college ath letics %%hen the scholarship will have been abolish ed entii ely In the olden days, the college athlete used to be paid openly a stated salary in return for valiant endeavor on the gridiron for dear old Ralston. Nowadays a thing is mentioned in' hushed tones. Professionalism in college ath letics is not as open. nor,ag.pre4alent in the pres ent 'day while in the fatine, Professionalism in college ranks will have tieen loWered , into a forgot ten grave. Scholarships; a 'Cough( to , profession-1 alism, will be the next institution to feel the axe Should Penn Sate be the Vorfeer in this movement, it would mean more teller esteem and name than to harbor an entire football team of All-Amen cans. Anothei syggestion pi:oPoses the 'separation of the Depfirtment of;'Physieal Bdueation from the coaching of intercollegiate" teams This change is holely for the purpose of developing intramural spoils—an activity that thug far has been woe fully neglected. Football,' foi example, is indulg ed in only by students who are numbered among those trying for positions in the Varsity. Intra mural activity in this and other sports are prac tically nil. But these suggestions are not of the imme diate present. It is with the proposed changes to the constitution and by-laws of the Athletic As sociation that the student body must respond with a ballot that Mill indicate its acceptance or rejec tion of the advocated amendments. It will be necessary foi forty per cent of the student body to vote on these amendments, and for a two-thirds majoi ity to be cast favorably, in order that the new Athletic Association constitution may become effective immediately. Three committees, an alumni committee and separate faculty and student groups went to con siderable trouble and tlfne in order to supply a remedy to an organization sadly in need of just that. Untold energy was expended on a project by men who knew full well that there was nothing in it for them in the way of personal gain. But nost that the task is completed what satisfaction must be theirs! What pride in the knowledge of a job well done! The proposed amendments and recommenda tion of the three committees represent almost a year's endeavor on the part of the men who serv ed en any of the groups. They have accomplished their part—and well. It is now squarely up to the student body to show its appreciation for the ef forts of a group of men who have made a tre- mendous stride toward remedying a muddled ath letic situation at Penn State The issue has been placed before the stu dents. On Monday; May ninth, at the regular Athletic Association election on the campus, each undergraduate will have the opportunity to make his i e-action in the form of a ballot. Mdy the members of the three committees be assured that then combined efforts N% ei e not in vain by a rec ord ballot—indicative of favorable undergraduate re-action. - - — President - Vice-President - - Treasurer Editortn-Chiet Assistant Editor Managing Editor Women's Editor MOTHER-AND MAY SEVENTH Within a few clays the population of State College will have been temporarily increased by the usual influx of the proverbial bevy of beautil till girls—here for the Junior Prom. And exactly one n eek fi om the coming week-end—on May sev enth—another influx null take place. Again it will be "girls" who will be visitors to this thriv ing village in the Nittany Valley. This time hun ch eds of mothers W. ill be entertained on Mothers' Day at Penn State. The entire College willre verberate in a hearty welcome on a day especially set aside to welcome the mothers of Penn State undergraduates A balanced, v ell-arranged program has been planned by the Mothers' Day committee. Noth ing has been left undone in order to assure each mother of a hearty reception on the occasion of her visit to the place when e "hoc boy" or "her girl" receiving the benefits of a higher education. In order that the day may be a success, it is neces sary that each student lend his co-operation—and it probably no better way can he or she do this than by seeing to it that ".Mother" be one of 'Penn State's guests on May seventh. This is the first time that Mothers' Day will have been obsei ved at Penn State in the spring of the year. With the campus and surrounding side rapidly shedding its drab winter coat for an atti active green—what greater beauty spot in this state has the Penn State student to show any visitoi than State College and its immediate vi cinity' The fact that National Mothers' Day is on the following day—Sunday—is an added in ducement W.

PANTS SCRAP: A TRADITION It must be evident by this time that the re veled and time-honored custom known colloquially ac the pants sci ap is not a tradition likely to cause the underclass heart to flutter with any emotion other than indignation of to heave with any loy alty other than self-interest. And it is equally obvious that something is sarong with either the custom, the underclass heart, or else—tradition foi bid , —N% ith both. Were it not for the delight ful excess of Poverty Day one might be pardoned his lamentable G-string pizzicato: customs at Penn State are going to the dogs. If they are, the cheerful response to one of them and the doleful retort to :mother is more confusing than alarm ing o account for the popularity of Poverty Day, ioi instance, and the bitter reception of the Pants Sciar places one in the quandary of confession Onc must admit, be he the least bit fairmmded. that as he advances annually to new and delirious privileges he is apt to color his own adventures in custom; with all the glamor usually attached to the most heroic exploits, whereas, in retrospect, he confides to himself that those customs were really pleasures, shattering thereby the ordealistic impression iihich his Homeric paint have at tained But one admits more than this (be he the least bit fan minded) : he confesses that the under graduate is above tradition—he bows to it only uncle' compulsion—hence the dink, the confoimei unpaialled—and he avoids it with the quaint and um easonable plea that tradition is often disam ee able, inconvenient, and annoying . . . There is ir e word, discontent. Even the Ti ibunal is aware of it. Last year, it will be recalled, the Tribunal took it upon itself ,to get the names•aff, all sopho mores who did not attend the class sckaps: That at.least, scat its aim: Should it perform its duty it will have to blacklist all but thirty-five sopho mores. Since this is impossible, now that the Pants Scrap is officially over, the alternative would be to turn the sophomores loose and allow them to tear off the trousers of the freshmen without permitting the freshmen to retaliate. It would be a delightful custom, but it would have to be sealed by the Tribunal, a faithful believer in the Shakespearian remark that the sauce to meat is cei emony. For though customs may temporarily em barrass one, making him a liar, a hypocrite, and what is worse, a •rebel, the embatrassment, and indeed, the role, is only temporary and leaves no scars... It is not that we are looking for some one to blame for the poor showing of the sopho moles that leads us to point out the enforcement deficiencies—although it has been our opinion always that the Student Tribunal should consist of student representatives whose reputation is not solely athletic: it is that we are anxious that cer tain customs should be examined, and, if they are beneficial, enforced. Otherwise we may become like the University of Pittsburgh.
