BKOWNRACK '3l Women's Killtor E lOUISF HOITEDITZ '3l C Womens Managing Editor News Editor NORMAN B SOBLER '3l News Editor FRIDAY, MAY 15. 1931 IN THE GRASP OF THE OCTOPUS The octopus of clique politics, which has wormed its insidious tentacles firmly about class elections and made itself felt in other campus contests, has befouled the one realm where it is absolutely undesirable. Tuesday night, twenty-five fraternities, a huge portion of them members of the 1032 Locust Lane clique, east a solid \ole to elect the man of their choice to the presidency of the Intcrfralernily Council. The victor defeated a man who was backed by members of the 1932 Campus organization. Our adolescent politicians, blind to the fact that the Interfraternity Council leadership is one not to be tossed about as a political plum and spurred by promises of future patronage. have lowered the office itself and sullied the purpose of Council. This editorial is not a discussion of person alities. The new president of the Council may be as outstanding a man as either of the de feated candidates. He was simply the pawn, the front behind which jackals lurked, unable to capture the ,quarry themselves, but quick to sei/c the spoils, once success had come their way. And what puny spoils await them. Five or ten of the clique members will probably re ceive Interfrafernity Ball appointments. Unpleasant as it is to contemplate, this dis integration of Council judgment has been brought about by the false worth attributed to Ball appointments combined with the balloon likc inflation of campus politics. It is regrettable that the organization which carried its banner to victory in the Senior class elections must bear The odious stigma cast upon it by those members who could not distinguish between class and Council elections. The organ ization leaders, although innocent themselves, must suffer the damage wrought by this Frankenstein, this irresistible robot which has turned upon its creators. PENN STATE—a fraternity college, proud of the fine spirit shown by fraternity men to ward one another. THE INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL—a highly-compacl, co-operative or ganization, fiee from sub-rosa politics, intent on working for the best interests of the assembled brotherhoods. What hollow definitions these— as hollou as a mollusk’s shell, sucked empty by the squirming tentacles of the octopus. WHAT’S IN A NAME? Although Shakespeaie was often coiicct in his mietv as to “what’s in a nami! 7 ” thene’* a good deal m a name when it's wionglv applied to one of the College schools. Invariably a student emolled in the Mmoial Indus tncs School is dubbed a “miner,” and lemains a “minei” in <qute of the fact that he may take no mining couiscs in College and nevei have a thing to do with mining tim ing Ins lifetime except when he puts coal on. hi< furnace •it home , <> , , • - , j _' But one hut of’siv lindergraduates m the Mineral ludustnes School is emolled in the mining curuculu, Of 220 students in that School last semester, 110 weie metallurgists, 11 weie poll oleum and nntuinl gas engi neers or geologists, while "0 weie tiuly “minors" The mining dcpaitment is but tlind in si7o Of 181 students fiom other Colleges who aie taking couiscs in the Mineial Industuos, not one i« emolled in a mining Next yeai, the Mineial Indusliies School will cm hi act* giaduate, undeigiaduate, extension, and resoaich voile in the entue field of the piimaiy mineral indus tues, of which “mining" is but a pnit. The term ‘miner" applied mdisciinnnntelv to all Mmoial Indus ti jos students is tiulv a misnomer JUST AROUND THE CORNER The final examination schedule appeared foi the lust time Tuesday, Appioximntely foui thousand stu dents scanned the columns hastily to discover exnctly when they must show a ceitain amount of concentrated knowledge, piolmblv the snmo number will mentally lo* solve not to he caught napping at the last minute this yeai—to catch up on at least two or three courses befoic the eve of finals—to hand in a few i eports on time Thi ce weeks lcmnm Thice weeks fiom now, the identical group will pass from the calmness of classroom attend ance into the fren7y of last-minute effort that char acterizes examination period. Well, the examination schedule can serve as an omen. It’s the tiaditionnfwarmng that’s never heeded, when a college is found in which preparation for exam inations is conducted beforehand, we’ll believe whole heartedly in all educational devices and the thoughtful ness of the student mind. But convictions won’t change, and history has every chance of repeating itself, for no undergraduate ever needed advice. OLD MANIA It’s a good thing the LrtVic came out when it did, or Ihe Mamie would have been up the well-known cieck as far as getting dut for this colyum goes (That sentence get> pietty complicated towatd the etui Ton many xerbs oi something) Anywav, it tame out just m tune, anti wt* got a copy an 1 wont o\ci m a toinci whole no one could look over out shoulder, and looked tlnough it You can learn a lot that way Tor instance, we nlwnvs thought that advanced R. 0 T C was a coin sc, but it’s not It's an activity, like the Y.

And here all the time wo kept thinking that Miriam Mendelsohn was ju«t anothci co-ed, when all of a sudden we find that Miriam was Honomiy Mombei of the Town Gills’ Executive Committee, Ko-od Kotillion (2, 55, J), Ile-She Dance (2, 3,4), and Max Day (2, 1,4). How come you didn’t get around to a Senior Ball, Mmam? Elcanoi Hay is roit of a gad-about, too. She was a May Day Dancei (2), Jestci (1), and a Xmas Party Page (1).
