AROUND THE CORNER
Foi Historical Dates Only
Modern and plogressive as the Univeisity of
Colorado pretends to be, and as indeed it is in many
slays theie remains on the campus a hangosei from
the days when Colorado mils a baby college—an an
aeluonisro that threatens to become more and mole
detrimental as time goes on.
We refer to the time-honored, but disgraceful cus
tom of regal ding the library as a social center
Time was, it is easy to imagine, when the Uni
versity contained lose! than one thousand students,
that there nay room in the binary for a lasso poi cent
of the student bads , to study and to chat Today with
snore than thice thousand students and several hun
dred faculty members on the campus in Boulder the
same attitude would be almost unbearable. But added
to this the situation has become steadily worse.
Today the library has degenerated into a com
bination conversational center and dating bureau.
Signs on the (loots asking for "No Table Visiting"
have come to lie not meaningless, but actually farcical.
It is an actual fact that many students, finding
study impossible in the library, have found it practical
to take their books to restaurants and soda dispen
saries near the campus to study.

fully resisted this tendency, but in
I the last few rare there has been a
decided laxity in enforcement of un

distinction between the upper and
lower classes am no longer as clearly
drama I believe that every Penn
State man is in amend with the legis
lation which has abolished haring,
ilangei ass class maps, and reckless
destruction of property as a result
of Stunt Nights and pajama parades.
But this trend towaid equality of all
the classes should not be allowed to
mach the point where it threatens
the exmtanes of the very traditions
which make Penn State student spirit
something more than cheering for a

I feel that the stand taken liy the
Senim Ball committee in announcing
an exclusively upper-class dance for
January 16 is a definite step in the
light direction If the Ball commit-
tee of ouch succeeding year carries'
