TUESDAY, MAY 2G, 1931 FRATERNAL ERRORS With the geneinl development of fraternities hete, as evidenced by the numeious organizations eitliet build ing new houses or planning to do so in the near futuie, it might be well to leiteinte several remaiks made by Piesident Chase, of Illinois, m an addiess to students of that university President Chase hands the Gieeks scveial pietty haul \eibal slaps He cites pai ticulurly the “ovei burden of eNpen.se caused by the building of palatini living quaiteis with lunuuous mtcriois,” and the “in ternal piessure towaids umfoimitv of pattern and type, instead of the ci cation of an atmosphere conducive to the foiming of individual peisonalitics ” Fiatermtics have been accused of many things, but seldom have they been accused of placing undue emphasis on the intellectual side of college life Piesi dent Chase made it very plain that he believed fia teimties exhibited an intense fear and aloofness to waids anything intellectual. The Illinois president, m plain language, condemned the tieatment of fieshmen m a niannei “so baibaious as not to be tolerated in any other communities in the civilized world” Paiticulaily lofernng to this last citation, fin termties here are not liable to so much cuticism. With out doubt, “loughhouse” initiations aie on the wane Howevei, on the other counts, fiateimties at Penn State can come in for a goodly share of cuticism. In build ing, the Greeks often neglect the fact that their houses should possess some evidence that they are still “homes.” Father than possess this ntmospheie the main idea seems to be to provide moie space foi dancing and caul play- Thcre is nothing paiticularly* original in the above facts. They have all been piescnted before, but it has seemed that the fiaternal oigamzations have not taken theii faults to hoait. They have been content to let matters stand and allow the pioblem-s to icmain unsolved It is high time that fiatcrnities recognized these deficiencies and took definite steps towards ob literating a common feeling that seems to e\ist in their midst—a lathei nonchalant attitude toward any educa tional advance Although the lemaiks made by Piofessoi Fuzzcll in today’s Collegian aie significant, showing that Penn State students aie not altogetliei forgetting the vvoiTh of chapel scivice, it might he well foi students to loalize that non-compulsoiy chapel at Penn State is still on tual. It could be pointed out that although at tendance has been fauly satisfnctoiy it has noaily keen cut m half since the compulsoiy seiviccs weie rbandoned. This fact, hovvevoi, should* not be cquso- for any gi alarm.; ,There ir every .Veason ito< believe that the attendance will Increase next year, and that students vill continue to realize the woith of chapel and appre ciate the fact that the College secuies the sen ices of the finest theologians m the countiy CO-ED ATHLETICS With the advancement of Penn State women in many lines of woik it might be well foi the co-eds hcie to take moie intcicst in the work of the Women’s Ath letic Association, an organization which fills a veiy definite need on the campus. Outside of the compulsoiy work in physical education it seems that at Penn State the women are prone to treat spoits ns if they were something to be ignoicd. Although there would be many difficulties to over come if this suggestion weie followed, a plan that might somewhat rectify the situation would be to sched ule contests foi the co-cd athletic teams with teams of other colleges in the vicinity’. Thcie are quite a few colleges near here which could be visited by the co-ed Uams without much expense and which would piolmbly ho glad foi the chance to come to Penn State. Intiaimual spoits among the women here are ap parently not enough stimulus to develop interest in co-ed athletics. Woik on the various teams is earned on by a comparatively small gioup of students whose in terests are varied, ami not ducctcd tovvnids any pai ticular end. If just a few engagements in each spoit were sched uled for the women with teams from other colleges, interest in athletics among the co-cds would soon in crease. It might even be possible for Penn State to spon sor a state-wide field and tiack meet for college women At least it would inject mote life into women’s spoit-s heie, develop College spirit, and allow the spoitsinan ship of Penn State women to manifest itself on the field in intercollegiate competition. CAMPUSEER by HiMsnr.r It seems thnt vou can create a lot of commo tion aiound heie just by uding niound in a car that backfires Earnest students will immediately drown out jinn noise in lolling you to keep quiet, people will come out to <-ee what all the yelling is all about, and then if one of the Ardewin twm«, m somebody like that, is atouml vou can have a pyjama paiade In geneial. wo don’t like pyjama par ides because they give the local meiehank-. an oppoitunity to pie sent the College with bills, thereby lessening the amount of money which could he appiopriated for Penn State in China and things like that.

Two co-eds weie stiolling down Allen Sticot when one of these student officer felleis thumped by “Do you know anything that looks more useless than the spuis on those clumsy boots?” asked the fust obseivant female “Yes, I know several officers,” lopltod the other In a Philadelphia garage there is a sign which “We wash cais and Dunk Austins’ We want to call to the attention of the local gienadiors the fact that the College has at least one esemplaiy cadet The Old Main clock commands at tention and then maths tune —all without a hollyer, captain.
