COLLEGE SPIRIT?
It has been said with a good deal
of truth that Penn state is a col
lege for men but women go there
This view is fostered by the male
portion of the campus population
and accepted by the girls with some
protests.
The trouble is that such protests
are limited to words—generally ad
mitted to be ineffective weapons
At times actions which, according
to the proverb, speak louder titan
words, lead one to think that the
status of girls on the campus is
the result of their own choosing
Certainly the turn-out for class
pictures for La Vie gives this im
pression The pictures were taken
at the Photo Shop and about a
fourth of the girls were present
They were to be retaken because
of the small number turning out
and so few came that the idea was
given up. If no pictures of the
girls' classes are in the year book
there will probably be a great
many objections, the only possible
answer to which is "Whose fault
is it"
The year book is one of the
things by which outsiders judge,
Penn State and if the girls wish
to give the impression of being
fewer in number than they actually
are this is an eNcellent way to do
it. This and similar e•hibtnons
of class spirit almost justify the
so-called witticisms to which girls'
activities here are subjected

Ban Automobiles
at College?
By DEAN MAX McCONN OF LEHIGH
More than forty colleges have banned student
automobiles. Other college administrations are
considering similar action. They advance seem
ingly adequate reasons but are these reasons
really logical? If automobiles can be banned, why
not other things? Are the professional supervisors
of our morals and habits already at work in our
