Oenerally speaking, the student bodies of either in stitution mas fail to grasp the significance of all this critical obseroation and con only guess at the purpose of it, let alone the outcome Neither can they understand shy sports editors of the more or less metropolitan dis tricts should become so suddenly belligerent and defiant as to poke then pens into the athletic affairs of Penn State and Lafayette and intimate in flagrant, highly-col 'coed injustices masquerading under the guise of "spoitc +tones," the removal of one in both of the conches con- 1 corned, What motisating force underlies the propaganda must be conjectured. and it is another conjecture that tile disturbing forces are so remote from Penn State that their knowledge of the actual situation is mere unagina tion and deduction and that they possess little of oral proof for their tainted beliefs and narrow insinuations Whether or not students base any rightful voice m the matter, they will speak their opinions regardless On a previous critical occasion, it will be remembered how unsoersingly, hos, faithfully the general student body demonstrated its faith in the present mentor; and stu I- Tnts mould reiterate that fidelity this retry" day because it has been justified clearly, cleanly, because the man they have chosen to champion bas worked indefatigably under distressing and harassing circumstances, has toiled vigorously undo the strain of public embarrassment and near insult to maintain the fins athletic Prestige that be lurrucelf was instrumental in establishing The task has been an extremely difficult one and none can truthfully say that it has not been undertaken earnestly, sigmously and silk all the devotion a man can give to the college he has learned to lose, and respect TRADITIONS-GOOD AND BAD Every college has its traditions—old customs and legends and opinions that ale inherited by each succeed ing generation and by the numerous classes compnsing the goner awn Usualb such traditions are interesting hen taps, heritages to be revered and respected, to be loved and augmented. But there ale injurious traditions just as will as there are helpful , .ind:oonstructweonesi Those which are beau-: piful and lend to the a ileasan't ihametell‘rif the college de-„ iiemed to riOnntin unquestiodecl, but - thoseli,hich. are byi nature ugly, unseemly, black, charred spots on an °thin.' v.'s,: picturesque campus, should be challenged and, .1 found unsuitable, made outcasts m a colony anywhere distant from the campus Tor it is these undesirable traditions which, persist ing seal after year, pollute the minds of incoming fresh men and piciudice then opinions about certain instrtutipns and personages about the campus. These derogatory tra ditions and not those things they condemn should be de rided for the personages and Institituons have existed yens after year mostly by dint of their own merit while the luckless traditions have lived by mere false or un reasonable advertisement. At such a crowded college there is room for the deserting only.

A FORM OF THANKSGIVING As n rule college students are not addicted to phd nnthropy, although from the unwise and extravagant manner in which much of student currency is foolishly squandered, it mould appear that they are unconsciously, unknowingly plulanthiopic. Comes a time when they may heroine wisely philan throw—awl evogninant to that fact. The time is the present when the local unit of the Red Cross organization seeks aid in raising its puny share of the great national total. The State College quota is .sBilo, a mere speck if army Qudent contributes a few pennies, but a seemingly vast wet if the burden is to fall upon it few. The Red Cross organization needs no introduction; its nork is well-lnoun and its esistenee not only mstifltd I but actually neCessaiy. Perhaps those of us stho have lived in constant comfort cannot fully realize the dmastct of flood and stem. They ate things which must be cal pemenced befote they ate felt. A contribution till be an applopruite form of Thanks giving—for out happy and fortunate immunity flond disaster. - Ps.!dent .-Vie,President .Trca.ter The modem college Utopia is located in our own stealthy state of Pennsyh anti if we ate to intelmet la ment, the wind.: of Di.
