WHY REPEAT?
This week the College Senate will adopt a calendar
foi the forthcoming >eat. Genetally agicetl on the main
outline oT the 1030*1931 calendai, the mid*year recess
tiled lot the first time this year piescnts the only ob
stacle to mpid approval of eithei of the pioposed cal
endais One plan would tetain the tcn-du>s suspension,
wheieas the otheis would drop it Action on these pio*
posals was putposcly postponed ponding a teport on the
contested petiod
Whatever purpose the tnal petiod may be found to
setve, certain facts ate unavoidable m the Senate’s con
sultation of the mid-year vacation Reflecting a weak
ness of student bodies tlnoughout the count!y, Penn
State undeiginduates should not be expected to ftown
on a toccss, whcthoi it be foi one day or for one week.
The teccss in question, however, conics at a most mop
poitune time. Theic is only one way foi a college stu
dent to while away ten days dunng job-less Febiuaiy,
and that is either to test at home ot to go awaj on a
pleasure jaunt The foimei, while less expensive, is
likewise less stirring. Neither aie long-felt needs, ex
cept in unusual instances
While it is tine that thete will be a student exodus
icgaidless, that h no ic.ison why the recess should be
of ten-days duiation. It is tcasonable to expect that
a shoitei period will discourage the exodus, while still
nffoiding an opportunity for two ot three days of rest
oi oi pleasure, depending on the need or the pocketbook
of the individual student. The only justifiable excuse for
a prolonged tecess is concerned with the cleucal duties
of the Registrars office Emergency measuies should
be mged to overcome this objection
Penn State, by creating the new School of Physical
Education and Athletics, takes its place in the fiont
janks of educational institutions now administering to
the physical needs of their student bodies The move
becomes even more significant when legaided in the
light of the present agitations for the development of
intiamuial athletic progiams as opposed to extensive
inteicollegiate competition Penn State now may take
khe lead in the slow but decided movement towaid a sys
tem of “athletics-for-all" in Ametican colleges and uni
versities.
TIME TO ACT
A ■•tiong dc«uo to comply with public opinion, by
abandoning the questionable piactices of “Hell Week"
u clearly evident in the icsponsc to the Collegian ques
tionnaue foi warded to Penn State fiatcimty'presulents. ’
Furthei investigation icveals, moreover, that second- '
joar men foi the most pait, block the sincere efforts of
tippeichissmen to substitute moie humane tactics at the
houses that steadfastly refuse to fall into line with the
foi ward-looking ginups in then campaign against tough
initiations.
Thn leluetance on the pait of sophomores to have a
hand in overtiuowing an obsolete tiadition may, in cer
tain instances, be tiaeed to nn objection aheady voiced
against the continuance of “Hell Week ’’ Dean Guiles
W. Stoddait of the Libeial Arts school cxpiessed this
objection in declaung that “Hell Week" fostcis the for
mation of an umuly sophomore class by causing an ov
ei -emphasized sense of class unity among the pledges
dunng then first year. Dean of Men Thomas Aiklc
Gaik of Illinois likewise ngices that revolt, insolence,
and auogance follow m the wake of fraternity haztng
In suggesting substitutes for haunful initiation du
ties, Dean of Men Aithui R Wamock pioposcd an im
piomptu vaudeville show by pledges as a possible way
to meet the demands of fiatcmity men who desire some
soit of extiaoidmaiy activity or hoi.se-play. This sug
gestion might be extended even further to appease the
wiatli of ceitam unthinking sophoinoies Another sub
stitute that ments attention uiges a moie detailed study
of the fraternity's history and ideals. Whatever sub
stitute should be adopted, Penn State fiatermtics cei
tamly cannot, ignoic this challenge of then place in Col
lege life.
Pei Imps the most insistent complaint voiced against
examinations in the Bull Pen is that conccntiution is
impossible once the students begin their exodus, winch
usually stuits from a half-hour to an houi befoie the
end of the examination Another is that the loom is
pooily ventilated and not conducive to mentnl alacrity.
While “cribbing” piobably exists m the Bull Pen, suie-
