OCTOBER 1, 1929 THE FRATERNITY AND THE FRESHMAN Tonight Penn State's high-powered rushing season will come to an olllctal clo*e. Tomorrow night nerve wracked fraternity salesmen will crowd the doorwaj, anxious to welcome the men of their choice into the mystic cnc-le Thcie will be setbacks for both the fra ternity man and the fieshman; but unhappily, the veai ling is not fully prepaid! to meet his particulai prob lems Regardless, he must bear the burden of icspon sibilitj foi the most momentous decision of his whole college caicet In making this all-impoitant decision, thetc ate many fnctms to ibe considered One must not be in fluenced bv anv single faetoi; the average college freshman should be capable of viewing the entne situa tion in pcispective A newly-built house, although de- sirable, should not entry anv weight m the final selec tion of a fiatermtv. .Rather, the mon that make up the chapter personnel should be .given ‘fast consideration Another faetoi often ovetlookcd by amared plebes is the historj, the ambitions, and the ideals of a frater nity 'Duixl't Utntital Jot Gimk-Lettci FmtcnnUet t is undoubtedly the most authoritative soutce of this infor mation. Moieovct, a fiaieimtj’s latent possibilities should compaie fuvuiably with its-past and present ac tivity Advice should be sought, preferably fiom dis interested pat tics, so that no pait of a fraternity's his- toiy ioniums untold Complete satisfaction with the fraternity member ship, added to this fast-hand knowledge, make one’s choice simple Howevei, theie ate instances when the fiateimty of a fieshman's choice fails to bid him. Then his woities begin Peihaps he has other bids to choose from That makes mattois wotse The sensible thing to do is to wait tnlher than accept an unsatisfactory pledge Rushing season,'* after all, is not expected to pro duce infallible tesults Many a fraternity has over looked a deniable man during the concentrated dnvc of a jushmg season, only to realize its mistake later. It seems bettoi, then, to await deveopments rather than jump to an unhappy conclusion. Since bids arc gen eially extended in good faith, there is no need .to accept immediately A short delay may bung a more dcsit* able Lid Likewise, the youth who is not bid at all has no regrets. He will live a freet life, umestiictod by the bonds of the fraternal gioup. Ills cnole of friends will he widei and moie than anything else, he will have the oppoitumty to piove his woith and his ability to the satisfaction of eveiyone. Then he will be sought by numbeiless fiatemities and then he will be able to de cide conclusively whothei he wants to enjoy the priv ileges of fraternity life, ot multiply his friendships without those contacts Beginning eatly in the third period of the Penn State-Nmgara football game Saturday, a steady stream of upperclassmen fled fiom the stands until the wooden tiers appealed to be pinctically empty near the close of the game. If first impiessions are lasting, as it is believed, the discouitesy of each succeeding student generation is readily undei stood. PENN STATE IN CHINA The yeailv campaign for funds to he sent to Ling nan umveisitv, now being conducted on the campus, bungs to mind un epochal student mass meeting held in 1011 at which G W. (Dnddv) Groff 'O7 was chosen to lepicsent Penn State in China ns duector of the School of Agiicultuic at what was then Canton Chris tinn college Dining the past summer another icpre sentative of Penn State Lester M. Zook '2O turned his face wesiwaul to join Mr Gioff m the commendable woik of educating a backward people. Novel since the bnth of the College has the stu dent body cntoied upon a moie worthy pioject. Every yeni since 1911 .i Sunday has been set aside early in the* fust somestei as a day on which Penn State students may honoi “Daddy”.Giofl and his woik and pledge their financial support, so that the work may be continued. And every year since 1911 the name of “Daddy” Gioff has become familiar to the lips of -every freshman class. To honoi his mime and lus work has become a tiadition at Penn State One does not need to be in China to realize the val ue of the woik that “Daddy” .Groff has been doing. Neithei does one need to be theie to understand the sig nificance of the sei vice to mankind that Lester Zook may rendei. Both are self-evident. At the chapel service on Sunday, pledge blanks weie distributed. These can still be filled in and left at the Y. M. C A. hut, an net which would help ciury on a Penn State tradition. Then, too, n bov oi girl on the opposite aide of the world would appreciate it more than words-can tell. THE LION’S DEN 'BY DANIEL Violators of the fraternity mshing code, we me told, would reach from State College to Lemont if placed back to back. The violations me not senous, of course, but they are violation'*, nevertheless One of these concerns the time limit of a date. ’Even this dcpnitment has been guilty of that mis demeanor. At any rate, a rival fintermty salesman consulted his watch Saturday night as we passed him with two rushees after 10 o’clock. Por our part it was unavoidable. The rushee in sisted upon waiting to see the news reel after which he suggested that we invade a neaibv ice cieam >pnr- How to break away from a prospect upon a mo ment's notice, it seems to us, would bo an inteiesting study for the professional fraternity salesman Withal, we could claim that out watch had stopped And for proof that watches sometimes aie at a stand still, we could get in touch with the youth who was responsible for the recoid of “Minutes to Ploy” on the New'BeavCi field «coiebonrd Sntuuiav afternoon Tomorrow night will be on eventful night for 'Penn State fraternities. That is, in the event that the piescribed quota puts in an nppeaiance for the banquct-likc dinner at 7 o’clock. Pending the outcome of this yem’s rushing season. •Penn State fraternities aie pi one to accept the pies ent code After ton days or more of lnpid-fire rushing, we The most senous violation of the lettei and spirit of the code, we must admit, was committed by us We told an innocent i uslioe that it would endanger his life if we ventured past Co-op cornet But that, by the way, was the onlv movie trip we’ve escaped so far It would be heaps of fun to stand in the leception halls of Penn State fiatemities at 7 o’clock tomorrow night when unexpected lushees appear for dmnci, while others are deflected towaid livnl dining rooms Pun. if only for a wile We are grateful foi one thing timing rushing sea son. We have learned to lcmembor names. Perhaps the dumbest piospect is the one who claims that he can pluv “Piccolo Pete” on the harmonica White, blue and green aie the favonte colors of the class of 3933, if we can place any faith m the display of shirts in the freshman stands Satuiday afternoon. Then, too, there me a few ficshmen who just can’t go without their dinks, not even on Sunday With them, it’s a custom. Cheering, it seems, is the one way to express ap preciation of a feat. Whethei it be only a foot fiom the goal line. After the freshmen aie safely in the fiatermty fold, 'Penn State proposes to initiate them into the tiadi tional lair of the Nittany Lion And it’s the same old line, what with encourage ment at every step.
