Slember of Eastern Intercollegtate Newspaper Association TUESDAY, MAY 28, 1920 CUSTOMS AND THE TRIBUNAL Apparently satisfied that customs at Penn State are tried and title, the three minor changes advocated in the repent of the Customs Revisions committee woe accepted by the 1.922-29 Student Council at its closing session Thurs day night. The first change forbids the use of Penn State seals and stickers entirely, thus giving official sanction to Stoniest Council's move in that direction usher in the yeah. The others permit freshmen to enter pool towns, and to weal ttoolen caps at the Wintei Sports park To nun-readers of College customs as they ale set forth In the Student Handbook, the report of the comnuttee seems puny and insignficant A close scrutiny of stoniest cus toms shows, lions even, that there is no reason for more drastic revisions Instead, the eiying need of the College is a body to enfoice the customs rte have. This power heretofore has been vested in Student Tii banal. A laxity of mu pose, howeso, has made that body inactive, for the most past. It remains, nevertheless, that customs are enforceable by such a group, but only when the personnel of the group is conscious of its obligation to the student body. An unwillingness on the past of the student body to report misdemeanors has retoided the progress of Student Tribunal considerably. Of this there is no doubt llowes.or, their are justifiable objections to a Student Tribunal which is composed entirely of athletes. To overcome this objection, and to assure the revival of Penn State customs next year, Student Council should consoler it a duty to elect a fair proportion of non-athletes to Student Tlibunal. FOUR YEARNS IN COLLEGE Ent aged by the bleeding which invariably accompanies a successful Nenture—graduation, in this case—an indig nant senior writes to complain of the price exacted for his cap and gown Believing that it is the better plan financially—he has decided to keep the cap and goun rather than return them and claim the iefund. This is not his only objection He complains, likevase, of the price exacted for invitations, Lion suits, junior blazers, firim less dances and the like. As a matter of fact, he told us that he has attended social events for foul yews, and has' yet to receive a favor Which, after all, may not be an unprecedented feat. He even goes back a little further— his Freshman Week, to be stne--to point out how seventy five cents uns exacted from him for n green dink \Ouch ' costs :bout Unity cents "k Senior" gives his "final good-will °liming" without ulumpet mg, how eve', asking only that something be done about it for the future.

There is no need to Pay - members of any committee a living wage timing their term of office and, unless the profits of these committees be turned over to a building fund of some equally ambi tious project, no firntly believe that these so-called entet prisers should be held to a strict accounting Lot thetr fin rncial dealings. AN ENDURANCE TEST The coutecisn's proposal for the suspension of classes, one week prior to final examinations was greeted both with acclaim and with In ickbats. The acclaim, it is rendilg admitted, came from the student body that is every ready to support any plan which will give them complete schol- astic freedom, if only fora day. The brickbats, on the other hand, came from a different direction. From the head of the classroom, to be suie. But there were a few who saw worth in the plan, and openly approved it. There were others, however, who saw no merit in it, whatever. In defense of the plan, it may be pointed out that light now numbeiless students have all they can do to keep their heads above the scholastic waters that have threaten ed to overwhelm them ever since the semester started. Fully cognizant of this fact, an equally large number of instructors insist that all assigned tom papers, notebooks, and reading reports should be completed before the advent of final examinations. In this category are found those professors who fail to realize that then• courses are not the only courses being offered this semester Considered from an impartial viewpoint, would it not he more just to the student to suspend classes for a few days in order that he might regain his scholastic feet before the end of the semester? Instead, faculty mem bers knowingly ',omit students to cheat Morpheus night after night as valiant efforts are made to see academic light. As a result, the student goes into a final mama tion unprepared and mentally unfit for a difficult tee Would it not be the better plan to supply a week of free- l / MHZ e e LI: .3:.: 4 (111 § t • DANIEL. 0 "-.
