`SAT IT AA iTII FLOWERS
There seems to be existing of late so delicate a
feeling against saving ant thing one thinks (especial.
ly in Inc cditoiial columns) that distintcrestcd ob

About the curious hieroglyphics which the cheer

will say little Suffice it to remark that a gentleman

Obviously this sort of thing Is poppycock But
when the rooming house owners lay claim to per

the poppycock bursts into a full grown rooster with
spurs and a raucous crow If the authorities, in
volved in this place of legislation are seeking for a
new system of rushing, requiring a year's residence
in rosining houses by way of a coup d'etat, then the
people to discuss that with are the members of the

rooming houses 'I he ne t thing we shall hear about
will pi obably be that the Benevolent Order is selling

TITS WAY OF ALL CUSTOMS
Civilization seems to have found its way into
Penn State customs at last. That is, if you believe
a certain group Adherents of the "down with cus
toms" shiboleth will point out to you that with each
succeeding year one custom or another is being drop
ped into the scrap heap. Sadly enough this is true.
We know. Year after year there are loud lamenta
tions Isom the Collegian editors ; and the editorial
policy squeaks not knowing which way to turn. Per-
cannily v he c ,hat Penn Siaie customs 'lra a
notable thing, a flame, if you Nt ill, that lights the mays
of ti aditioni, with those who would have that flame
ewnguished—eten n, the flicker of a cigarette van

floor.

But that is what we think, nest year, perhaps,
otheis w.ll feel differently And argue as we may,
bleat as we may bleat, this fact remains clear. first
Poster Night, then the tug of war end other scraps
(termed be sonic. buffooneries); and now Stunt Night
is on its last legs, it it has legs Move-up Day has
meant something more than the removal of hats• it
has resulted in mane an underclassmen going hatless,
in mam, a freshman discarding black socks for pink
ones and lonely hours tor for date-stuffed ones. Ah
well . In a short time Penn Slate freshmen
will be passing each other with haughty stares—and
upperclassmen with requests for matches.
