FRIDAY. OCTOBER 19, 1928
ON TO PENN
Tomorrow the Lords of Learning yield the throne to
the Gods of the Gridiron for a day. The students will
trek to the Quaker City to witness the annual struggle
for football suptenwey between the University of Penn
sylvania and the Penn State teams Lust year mote than
half of the undergraduates made the trip in every aNail
able means of conveyance. This year with the special
train to supplement collegiate Fouls, sport roadsters and
family sedans the Franklin Field stands ought to shoe an
even larger contingent of Penn State supporters at to-
motion afternoon's game.
Everybody's going The occasion mill be a memor
able one to every student mhethet Penn State mins or
loses Of muse, Penn State means to min, but the stud
ents will stand by their team no matter which end of the
score they fall heir to After all, good spottsmanchip on
the part of the student body is more important than any
thing else.
The fact that Penn State was defeated by Bucknell
last Saturday should lease no one under the illusion that
the Penn game is going to be a tame affair The Penn
scouts who were present at the game gave no such report
to the Red and Blue squad when they returned to Phila
delphia. Bciides, there is no disgince in defeat at the
hands of a team of the caliber of Bucknell Both Penn
and Penn State Onons are mimed for the supreme test
of the season tomorrow. There will be plenty of action
on both sides.
While this vall be a glotious v.eeloond, it is imp° , t
ont that the students conduct themselves in a way that
will reflect "edit on their Alma Motel None should
allow the spirit of the occasion to bleak down all the
bonds of propriety Individual conduct viii reflect upon
the College as a whole. At a entice' moment such
this the undergiaduntes must not penult personal indul
gence discredit the Noon which means so much to tha
future of Penn State. Esery student should conduct
himself in a manner becoming to a Penn State man.
TO YOUNG WRITERS
At sonic time dosing his lifetime nearly everyone has
wanted to heroine an author The great majority of the
aspiring liteiati never get beyond their day dreams, but
a small indomitable group almays sticks to the ink until
they achieve fame, if not fortune
, The gist question th.enriyome , author, asks is,
i"LYhcre did th,e,farnousm raters 'oflodayr get theta start"",
In Many , casap tlicy first appeared
in:pant in their college'literarc . ,magagine. ...rimy received
their preliminary training•either as members of the staff
or as contributors. The only literary publication at
Penn State is the Old Maur Bell. The editors have issued
the call to: mateual for the first issue. The Old Mom Bell
Mims no pecumaly renaads to its contributors, but it
does give young uriteis an opportunity to see their work
punt, and that in itself is one of the greatest joys of
outlaw slop.
The material printed in the Old Mout Bell covers a
varied range Short stones, light and serious essays,
poetry, articles, brief book reviews and playlets are In
cluded in its pages The editors will favor material uhich
deals smith campus life at Penn State and college life in
general. All material must be in the hands of the editors
before November tenth. Material may be placed in the
Old Mom Bell contnbution box on the first floor of Old
Slain or sent direct to the editor.
Here is a golden opportunity for young writers. The
editors will gladly give constructive criticism on the WO I k
submitted to them and willingly assist the contlibu
tors in any nay possible.
"SUCCESS-SS-SS TO YOU-MC!"
Such a salutation might easily be mistaken as a ham
and somewhat uncertain toast to Bezdek and his spirited
youths on the eve of the crucial Penn game Instead, it
is the bellowing slogan of a select, if not somewhat dissi
pating, group of local une.crusty boys whose only pur
pose for organizing under the astounding name of the
"Success Club" is to add to then• personal collegiate smart
ness and campus popularity by appearing en masse and
stag at fraternity dances to hatless the revellers in par
ticular and the chapter brothers in general.
Arm in arm they stand like a convention of good fol
lows, aggravating the stag problem, unconsciously breed
ing ill-feeling, threatening to stamp their way through
the dance room floor w ith their thundering horse trot and
attracting much attention (although not Intentionally,
goodness not) with a horse laugh that lb not clever, not
silly, not even funny—but insane. The official club insig
nia IS a well-known bird.
The club was organized during the past summer ses
sion, probably upon inspnation of some half-baked school
nun in, of which there were many. Now it stands proudly,
gloriously, science's strongest mgument for snivels° ,
collegiate insanity. The ruganization is young and, of
mousse, scamely able to stand on its own feet, and if al
lowed to exist should develop into a well-oiled piece of
campus machmet y.

of prohibition When Volstead put a bug in Uncle Sam'i
cal and talked him into a lifetime insurance policy feu

it was respected privately foi a tone.

discovered that the call was made by ev.tending the tongue
limply o.er the teeth and, with this as an mill obstruction
blowing fiercely through the mouth, the vibration lino
duced thereby causing a hideous. unique sound
Yeats lutes, psychologists in quest of behammista

and made the stealing ihscovely that the bird was e.,
homely human and uttered such mend calls only Iv her
voicing contempt. College students, who have learned tc

have also adopted his call of the wild.

the sentiment of the writer, it behooves me to come to his
defense, if possible. Statements were riot self-contra
' dictory. They merely explained that there was too mdch
nuthority in the class room by members of the faculty,
meaning that throe were few and possibly no Professors
whose words were so authentic that absolutely no ills
' cussion by members of the class was necessaiy, that stud
ents, tight or wrong rn opinions, ought to base the oppor
tunity of expressing them openly.
"That the squib, because of its brevity, left much to
be explained and was seemingly all-inclusive when it was
meant to describe only a few, I grant you is true But
isn't it difficult to get a public message to a select few,
and only them, when it is generally read?"

E=3l
A movement is on foot in the State
Senate at the present hum to abol
ish hopping. A law to this effect is
already on the statute books of New
Seisey, ns well as on those of several
western states The lawmakers of
Pennsylvania rue being asked by sev
eral motel clubs. as well as by the
Pennsylsanra Motor Federation, to
make it a misdemeanor, punishable by
small fine, for any person to stand
along any public highway, and solicit
rides ham passing automobiles.
Let 119 pause fin a moment and
mnsider the utter uselessness and fol
ly of such a law In the first place, it
would deprive students all oven the
state of a very convenient method of
"caching then• homes, or other desti
nations, and mould also hunt the col
ego man's pocketbook greatly How
•sr, this slew of the matter should
eceive secondary consideration, and
could be oserlooked entirely, if the
nw could be seen to have any crimmes
It will be interesting to see upon
chat facts the Pennsylvania Motor
Federation is basing its plea for the
rbolishment of hopping. This bddy
tales that many motorists ale rob
ed annually, by persons solimting
ides along the highways, and that in
ome cases, even murders have been
emulated. While this is probably
r great exaggeration of the truth,
yen if nt were true, the crimes men
.(l could never be attributed to col
ego students who are genuinely grate
:al for the lifts, green them by kind
motorists In reply to this, the Fed•
Oration states that many dangerous
characters stand along the loud, diess
xl like students, and fooled by this
disguise, the dime, pick them up,
thus laying themselscs open to rob
bery or M once This last statement
's r idiculous on the face of it. Any
person who is an ordinary knight of
he load will have neither the infor
mation not the funds to dress like a
college student. If Ins store of cap
tal is so low that he cannot afford to
say his hanspoitation from one place
o another, it is logical to assume
hat his clothes will also be of the
nimblest carnet}•, making no pie
ense to look like a college boy's Any
notonst with only ordinary powers
if observation can easily tell a tramp
limn a college man without a second
'ook.
Another sidiculous point about this
us opened law is that it seems to lent-1
•dy a condition made by the motor
ists themselves, but places the pen- ,
alty upon the hitch hiker. Any mot- I
must who does not desire to mck up
someone along the load, is at perfect I
liberty to pass on—the law will have
no effect whatsoever upon him. The
ass is being moposed on account of
somettAng the motorists are responsi
ile no motorists ever felt that
re canted to gise a lift to a fellow
sulking along a toad, the .law would
'mei hose entered the nand of the
.tilliunt patty uho conceived it
Legislators of Pennsyls ania vi ill be
sked to punish students all ovum the
state, for what is being called a com
mon 'form of "panhandling." We
Nimbi ask these legislatots to give
.1 little more attention to some of the
'awn that are already made, instead of
naking new ones, especially such an
asinine law as this one. They are
mbbably blind to the thousands of
mimes taking place all around them
y day Even panhandling, against
uhich theme is a law, is going on ev
ery day on the street corners of all
tai leg cities and yet the Legislature
want, to abolish a new form of beg
;ting, when the old-time form is being

Refutes Mom. Critic
Editor, COLLEGIAN
Dear Sit:
In leading a recent letter to the
COLLFMAN I discovered that the fel
low that razzes a picture of some
note] lety is a md. That much I will
grant But, does the average college
man show any disrespect to the pic
ture itself' The answer is NO! The
student may yell, boo, or hiss, but he
does so v.ithout the Intention of de
grading either the actors or the thence
of the picture
The actor that is portraying a cer
tain character does so in possibly a
humorous fashion The producer
meant the scene to appear in that
way, and the students know it They
are inning the character and not the
actor. I could hardly believe that
one might take such an abstract mean-
In& from something so harmless.
To be frank, I believe that the one
laming the letter was the one who
showed the "outrageous outburst" Has
this person neNcr stopped to season
out the fact that there aught be two
sides to an argument' I hardly be
lieve so. Be considerate, friend, and
show some tiasts'of a inoadminded
human being. Remember that a =-
sow-minded poison shows his mental
lose! just as quickly, anywhere at all,
as the one who supposedly shows his
it a moving picture theatre. Think
it ones.

Criticizes Cheerleaders
Editoi, COLLEGIAN
H'iny for the cheerleaders! They
ale earnest, haidwolking, good men
and true and I dedicate to them (in
season) my gullet and all parts ad
jacent Thus nobly would Ibe sacri
ficed. . But listen to a paradox
Editoi, the most striking pain
dox in campus talk is that the upper
class cheeileadms, when conducting
the College Yell, are not chcerlead
ets all They ate cheer-followers.
Wherefore, says the upperclassman,
it is not to laugh, but Lather to grow
listless and indifferent in a silent ',tri
test winch your recent editorial mis
takes for "dignity."
I belies° we can agree that chem
following among cheerleaders is not
so desirable, and I am confident that
the excellent and energetic Rah-Rah
boys will be quick to respond in out
lawing it
