HELLO OR GOOD-BY
From all appeainnaes, the freshmen trim welt. "kings
for a day" continue to reign supreme, monarchs of the
campus.. iniscieantc who are paying little or no heed to
sophomore diatonic in spite of the awe-inspiring tortures
indicted on Slant Night Daily, the knights of the Neidant
pate are breaking official customs recklessly and without
a dissenting main= from the sophomores, traditional
inerbeeis of this yowling clan Daily, glaring infringe
ments ate being made merely because the second-year
men are fast asleep, deeply wrapped in the same trance
which soothed them when the\ were freshmen
Ordinarily no objection would raise But the general
laxity in enforcing the "hello" custom has become disgust
mg. For penis, that general gieeting has been u tiadi
tonal custom, more sacred and mole adinned than any
other It has helped perpetuate the campus-wide coidial.
sty that is the secret of Penn State's democratic Success,
which, in thin, is the gloat binding trace of the imaluable
Penn State spirit
Freshmen should know and feel that it is a p, ivileyr
not n humiliating tale, to greet Penn State men. In fact,
no custom enforcement should be necessary except as a
means of educating the newcomers to become Penn State
men. It is time for the freshmen, to a man, to sense then
responsibility. It IS time, too, for the sophomores to brush
the cobwebs front their eyes, to aunke from last year's
sleep, to stn themselves in pursuance of their duty The
Penn State of the present and future cannot afford to
suffer an injured smut because tv,o classes feel no sense
of responsibility.
"WHEN BUCKNELL WAS A PUP"
There man a time ashen the stately old Lion looked
down on the puny pup—and laughed Thole acre times—
many of them—when the Nittany beast toyed with the
pert little canine for four periods and chased it bu: to its
kennel in Leo isbmg, slinking, limping, beaten to a pulp.
But the pup grew up and gradually giem mole and
more ,imous until he was able to emeige from moital
stilt° with feuei seals. Only last yew—the tale is now
glorious history and grim tragedy—the dog bad his day,
as e‘ety dog mill, and tinned on its bestial assailant with
a ferocity that sent him back to Ins mountain lair sat
in med, humiliated and beaten
Tomorrow the pup returns, this time more defiantly
than ever, proudly perched on the Orange and Black pillow
and borne aloft by five hundred or mole dm, out follow,.
Tomoriou the stately old Lion will look icy to the pup—not
laughingly, we hope, but with a gins scowl
Good luck, little pup
COUNCIL'S LA V 1 DE;CISION
2'..Sturients mho v ' sPeid sufactentlyontrested inthe fate
IoPLa Vie to Mom the recent alteration conhovetsy will
probablh^ view with 114onishment- the recent decision of
Student Council to tetuin the yearbook as an exclusive
Nino, publication Although there sins no popular public
opinion exptessed by students, It was generally believed
that the annual sons destined to undergo a change since
Student Boat,' and numerous campus 'cadets reacted
favoiably to the plans fot a senior publication.
Naturally, the sudden reversal of council opines
ould lead students to believe that then Judicialy rept e
sentativ es mere extremely fickle Such, homey., is nut
the case Fat Student Council, after disLussing at length
both sales of the is Vie questions and after learning that
Messrs Saldmin and Paulhamas, head officers of the 1930
annual, opposed the proposed change as impractical, east
o unanimous vote to rctoin the book as a Junior publica
tion.
Such a decision, in our opinion, was a judicious one
for several imams, Contracts, it scan loomed, were
already signed; work had been fault , started on a Junioi
to Vie: complications might have arisen hem breach on
contract; mullet and tune might have bc-en wasted m lost
those all, it would have been folly and downright hypocri
sy to oppose the men most vitally concerned with the
success of Jo l'ie. Co-opm awn nill facilitate the under
taking of any task and there is no questioning the im
mense amount of work connected with the yearbook
Homeyen favorable both the Council and Lie Vie of
flews might have been to the present system for the tires
tut year, it is also evident that both factions favor the
senior plans as n logical and practical means of publish
ing the book in the future plan an early beginning has
been made For the present rear, it was practically 1111-
posslble to adopt the new method of publication.

Deal Sir
As a disinterested party in the re
cent controversy over the sale of
ticket, to visiting fathers, I am Mrtt
mg this letter in the interest of fair
ness hoping to collect what I lure
since learned are misstatements and
mem tect imptesaions.
First of all. the Athletic Associa
tion is not to blame, as the lean sign
ed by Four of Four Thousand stated
Fm sumol y ems that group has of
loteil free tickets to visiting dads and
inotheis and men followed the plan
Ow year Tickets, of course, were
placed on sale because of the import
ance of the game, but students nere
not forced to buy for their visitors
As concerns the separating of lath
er and son. Their is no possible
rented , . rot the A A. is not clairvoy
ant Honey., I leatn that they are
co-operating to the best of their abil
its by eschtinging tickets up until
a fen hems helm, the game. In ad
dition, they ate holding complimen
tary tickets for the dads until one
o'clock Saturday after noun What
more could lie asked as a solution to
the late annul problem.
Finally, the A A is distnbuting
tickets, not upon payment of member
ship fees of any sort, but upon tows
tiation of patents Dads need not
even attend the mass meeting of the
parents' association to procure tick
