Edith. This Issue__ \e,...3 Edith! 1111.4 Issue TUESDAY, OCroBER 2. 1928 AFTER THE BATTLE The rushing battle is over. h reshmen have emeiged happily and unpiped for the most part. Fraternities retuin to noimalcy and scant meals with mild satisfaction it then• freshman flock numbers into the teens and with odd indignation if some of the ouzo pets have joined the "lost. strayed or stolen' contingent liven the nett rushing code, expel iencmg the fn st actual test of its extstence, emerges in a more or less battered condition to receive the applausa of fortunate fraternities and the nivel ted thumb of unfortunate biethien. Some laud it as the only thing: some score it as impractical: others cornmomise in declaring it a step in the right di rection, but a system fat horn complete, full of loopholes and lacking all-mciusiveness. Incidentally, the last-mentioned opinion re sembles that Which we cute] tam 'the rushing code, we feel, ha, a pin pose which should bring beneficial Jesuits to both halm mty and itishee It would discourage, in tact. pi ohibit lead piping, it would set the freshman fairly before the fra ternity and the fi atm inLy fairly before the fresh man; it Would have the rushee make a toluntary choice; it t ould otter each fiatennty an equal op portunity to scenic desirable men; it would ehm mate tot ced pledging and hence insure more con tented haternity hie These me the ultimate aims of the new code and although tney wet e not unanimously attain ed after the first trial might, be procured attel the experiment is 'Mott .perfectly—tleveloped. 'in pursuance of this perfection, future compilers and experimenters would do well to,piolit,by the .pres ent experience and remember the present diffi culties. It is almost unanimously agi cud, for one thing, that the pei ied of iushing is too extensive Three engagements pith a prospect should provide suf ficient opportunity for a fraternity to decide upon him, especially when each engagement endures six hours. I'm thermore, the apportioned sys tem of dating, illotting fo u l to a fiatet nity, is di-- nations to the house m hich arrives too late toreg ister even a single appointment, stile those who have dared to hIl lour• blocks, uncertain as to the impression a prospect may make, may discover too late that they aid under the undesirable and some times embarra s sing necessity of spending useless time and expense, both of which could be spent on other and nice e desirable prospects. There are other defects, too, which arise from either misinterpretation of the rules or inadequate statement. These have i esulted in ill feeling be tween numerous fratei Cities and should be repau ed before actual strife results. Rumor has it that the too I I' C. judicial bodies which tiy all cases of miscreancy of violation will be kept busy this v. eek refunding and withholding the numerous de posits of faith money. Again it is rumor• which describes the violations as follows: sending alumni brothels—upon whom the code would have no bearing—to gather• in the hock; appointing a "sure" pledge—another unaffected member—to lead rushees who have been bid to the house of his choice; daring to visit iieshmen 'or to the crucial meal to transport them to particulai houses, conducting out-of-townparties during the period of silence; bidding freshmen berm e the ap pointed hour and demanding an early acceptance j —a double violation of the code; entertaining freshmen, not for the few minutes ov'e• the hour which is graciously allowed, but for one or too hours alter the deadline. Eleven o'clock should mean eleven o'clock and fraternities which do not make allowance for the home journey should ' be duly punished. Those who would flail the code unhesitatingly !must remember that it is but au experiment, a !must of one yein's age, one that eliminates much 'at the unhappiest and untzurest evil that accomp. 'aims rushing, namely, lead piping. tt, m time, the new system, aided by the imprmements which, 'are oound to conic. can eliminate all lead piping, it will have ell cited a benefit which outs eighs by MI all of the present evil results. The sextet is out, Stunt Night, when nocturnal pageantry. underclass rex elry and mass initiation will pro ail, will be held this week. Sophomores are smiling with knowing expectancy. Freshmen are trembling in leant ul curiosity. Yet there should be little cause for fear. There will be no brutal tt eatment. None at all. Just a night of carnival fun. of gaunlet running, of paddling— but come and see __Edam-in-Chief _Asslstant Editor I The eight should provide enteitainment for ;all. And in return for the diversion, all classes ;should co -one' ate in assuring the success of the 'pageant. Thei e should be no interim once by play ful upperclassmen, no attempt to vex the sopho rum e or to provoke a mass brawl that will do the College no teal good during this period of transi tion, dining this most cutical period when a good .name and good belies tor ale essential to the iu tme success of the College. INo one need be told that Penn State is seeking the gracious blessings of an $8.000,000 bond issue. INoi must he be informed that bad news travels ;last. that collegiate pranks are emphasised in lb ont page newspaper stories and that voters ate ;probably the most faithful readers of newspapers. I Ads ei se publicity arising horn a Stunt Night fra cas betneen upper and underclassmen may lie the I cause of many lost votes and may undo the splend lid pork accomplished by indefatigable backers of !the bond issue. Penn State's real chance toi pro gress Here Is an opportunity for students to prove then fidelity, judged not "by shat they do, but by is hat they do not do" 0=ME!II I Not fat to the right of these printed words is a request. written by Dean Warnock, for student co-operation at files Surely, some authentic re quest is in older alter the childish display of stud ent the-tunnels lust Wednesday night. For ninny years, an amuusing soi tot conflict has existed between students and borough hte men. Just as Ott has been the custom to evince ,popubu and unjustified disdain tot co-eds, mill- Itary training and College health service, so has it become tiaditional to belittle the tuemen in spite :ot their sacrifice and risk of time, energy, health , and men hie. _James H Coogan, Ji Obviously the unpaid tirefighteis are not re sponsible for the conflict They have neither 'time nor desne to (panel with silly, rollicking !students. And inasmuch as they are prompt, ef ficient and faithful, how me they deserving of !such ungrateful reception as those which greet them at almost mery hie? Perhaps students would do well to remember that frateinity dwellings as sell as College pro perty are pi otected by the borough firemen, that they are unpaid and hence under no obligation to its]: then• lives and extinguish flames for no tr uard but unappreciative laughing and .leering.
