News Room 312 Old Main FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2R, IMO AN ALUMNI POST-MORTEM A favorite topic rehashed by alumni at midnight bull sessions, nll5 the contrast between Penn State's stu dent body today and yesterday. For some reason or other—perhaps because last week-end was the Anniver sary—alumni v.nxed more loquacious than usual in their comparisons, condemnations, contrasts, and com mendations From the maze of customary anecdotes a con troversey often arose about a question Aich is dis cussed a great deal by the undergraduates themselves It may be stated thus. Has the Penn State thtudent in his attempt to erase the stigma of being class - ed as an undergraduate in a "hick" college adopted an attitude of false sophistication sthich makes him priggish and self-conscious? Many alumni, fondly renumscent of the corduroy trousers and flannel shirts which they affected while in college, stoutly maintain that such is the case. They argue that the democratic spirit, Penn State's proudest boast, is falling They plead for a return to those days when the unpressed undergraduate preValled. They insist - that the students are creating an unnatural atmos phere of affluence about themselves, seek continually td make a misleading impression on those about them, and hose deteriorated in many cases to adolescent fash ion plates. Othei alumni take the less pessimistic slew. They believe that fundamentally the Penn State student is the same now as in their day and that outward mam iestatiors such as dress are but significant of the times One fact brought out by alumni is that the Penn State graduate of the past seven or eight year period is mire polished, and conversant rulh graduates of other institutions than his piedecesoors Undoubtedly, both sides of this question have sonic foundation. The growth of the College has done away with much of the personal contacts between students and often gives the immession that the "democratic Ideal:" hose been obliterated. Also, some students hero may be affected and overdressed, but the great ma jority IS not. The passing of the "collegiate" era has taken with it the flare for extreme dress. Much can be explamed on the busts that Col leie has approached a more business-like stage In a ceases of discus:volts for women students planned by the Stan - find Y. W C. A is scheduled a lec ture, in detail, concerning the Stanford male student. Ar information bulletin issued by the Y. W C A. de clares. "It would be a tragedy to miss the opportunity to discover what the &enfold man is like . . ." Such a lecture might lie appreciated a little nearer home. ANOTHER LINK Another move v.hich links the College closer to the public schools of the State was seen Thursday in the resolution passed by State educators to hold an annual conference hem This action serves to knit Penn State closer to the people that it serves Gradually increasing the scope of its service the College IS becoming more and more indispensable to the State. Through correspondence courses, &tension classes, and other means it is leaching into the far dis tant corms of the Commonwealth This ness connection certainly should be of mutual benefit to both the public school eNecutives and the Col lege. It should help the selloolmen in solving their his oblems and should likewise enable the College admm rstrators to better carry out their . program for train ing the young of the State. These yearly conferences also will bring to the campus men outstanding in the educational field in this section of the country. These contacts will be valuable to the future of Penn State and profitable to the stu dents of the College, The whole-hearted support of the student body in turning out for the Seventy-fifth Anniversary celebra tion was gratifying inasmuch as it shows that there is still some spark of the Penn State spirit left. Such fine demonstrations also always serve as excellent ad- Vertising of the College's merits.
