If this be well-founded, it spreads a sinister shadow over all campus activities. It is natural that students should band together, nominate one of their number to a class office, and in re turn, expect distribution of political patronage as a re ward for their support. But this should conclude the function of a clique. Party lines should be forgotten when the officers of non-political organizations are elected. The duty of these officers is to hold in trust the furtherance of the organization and the College, not the clique. Political patronage dare not spread to other than class offices if the student government system in all its departments is to continue in its present strength. When a man is seekng a non-political office, the student voters should consider only the candidate's qualification for the position. Although the favorable margin cast for free hos pital at men's and women's elections was too slim to carry much weight, the interest shown in the measure proves that some change in the present health service system is desired by students. The College should take the next step. YESTERDAY'S TRADITION Sporadic paddling in the vicinity of Liberal Arts building and a few freshmen trotting half-heartedly about the campus are the colorless proof that Spirit Week has come once more to Penn State's campus. For the past two days the ragged remnants of an outworn tradition have hung motionless beneath the pall of stu. dent indifference. Spirit Week remains a mute testimony to the Penn State of yesterday. It has no place today. The term "Spirit Week" itself is an evident mis nomer. Perhaps when the custom was begun it had some significance. Then, everyone participated in this attempt to arouse a sense of class distinction in order that Move-up Day would be fully appreciated.' It was a commendable small college custom, but times have changed. Penn State has become university-minded. Spirit Week observance is not in • accord with .thin ; change. Sophomores, to whom enforcement o? tom is entrusted, are indifferent. The majority - ,4 this rlass looks rather shamefacedly upon the efforts of a few of its members to carry out the dictums of tradi tion. Upperclassmen ignore it altogether. Spirit Week is the object of campus ridicule. ' The practice has been continued during the past few years as a matter of course, no doubt. It need not exist after this year. Why expose this tradition of yes terday to the glare of student criticism? Its period of usefulness is past. Let it rest. • A noticeable deficiency in the present women's election of class officers is the practice of naming the junior class president after the other two presidents have been chosen. A unified system would result if all the elections - were held simultaneously. WORTHWHILE The difficulty that interiraternity councils at other institutions are experiencing in justifying their exist once brings home sharply the real worth of the organi zation at Penn State. . • The Interfraternity Conference,_ with its favorable publicity for the College, was the most Important ac complishment of the Council this year. Gradual provement of the rushing code and extension of the sports program are also proof of its worth. Opportun ity to continue the good work awaits the incoming ad ministration next year. Further improvement of the rushing code and a solution to tho closed dance prob lem are two projects which might well be undertaken. Lists of custom-breaking sophomores that found their way to Student Tribunal during the last two weeks are in alphabetical order, for the most part. Either the entire class has disregarded the rules that determine its campus conduct, or a few are disrespectful of the place that Student Government now holds . at • Penn State. THE LION'S DEN 1:13=1 If Daniel had been gifted with foresight or any' degree of that rare quality knowd as intellect, he would long ago have predicted the present deplorable gastronomic upheaval that is filling the pockets of lo cal does. But, then, it happens every year—this round of free and initiation banquets. So, in the words of some ancient gawk who couldn't keep his lower jaw in place, "these are the times that try men's stom achs." The latest campus publication to go fanny, it ap pears, is the Old Main RM. For instance, here is some verse that Daniel filched from the magazine files: A CAUSTIC CHEMIST A wise guy turned to me one day And blurted to my face: "You're not a chemist, You can't tell an acid from a base.' I stopped abruptly, glared at him, And this was my reply— "l know I'm not a chemist, sir, I cannot tell a lye." If anyone wants to hear a bedtime story with lots of shooting just drop in on Toots PanaCcion, erstwhile Lion War Horse, who spends his time these days in casting furtive glances over his left shoulder. (Advertisement) Probably the worst example of waste that has come within the range of Daniel's one good eye for some time is to be found right on our own campus. Daniel hereby appoints an investigating committee compoed of one thousand two hundred and ninety nine lawnmowers with one campus cop to direct traf fic. The problem for them to discuss is the beautiful crop of campus dandelions—just think how many gal lons of wine we are wading through every day. EIZEIMEM It seems to me that it is quite "sidle" To curse a person for a bit of verse. An open letter would have done the trick, And it could_well have been much worse. The pleasantry which flowed from off my pen Was not intended as direct attack; I merely sought to satisfy my yen For writing, of which I have no lack. And then of course the judges Of the Freshman Frolic must be flayed Foro giving prizes to the ones whose grudges ( ?) Made them enact the things which I portrayed. If one is not allowed to copy down his senseless whims • Without receiving scorn and acid words, Then to those criticizers of my foolish hymns I now will give a flock of birds!. • L'Envoi:— • Still more: for fear I might disgrace my class And keep it from its sure success, I'll take the numerals off this time, And so I'll sign myself just • A bird is made by -blowing the breath stoutly through the compressed lips to the accompaniment of much wavng of fingers which surround the mouth in funnel shape. Try it—even your best friends won't like it.—Daniel. There is a purpose in most writing, and so it is with this although it is not entertainment as somo thinking person might suggest: There are words and words, and them there are words, but these words are nothing more than words despite the fact that. Webster made a best-seller of them.
