ROBBING OURSELVES
the amount of damage to College and Borough
pioperty caused by the lccent student parade should
be answer enough fot those “radical” students whose
cr> last Thursday night was “let them alone; they’re
not hurting anything.”
That these sudden outbursts, of enthusiasm aie not
signs that Penn State students of today are returning to
traits of jungle or ciadle is recognized by College
officials In fact, these incidents when students “let off
a little steam” are anticipated by the administration
AVillful destruction of piopoity, howevoi, is anothei
inattei.
The erroneous idea which seemed to picvail through
out the student gathering last week was that "we pav
a damage fee every year—why not make the most ot it?”
The one dollar Tee paid by students every yoai does not
cover damage to town property. Money is taken out of
the mterclass treasury foi this reparation to locnl
merchants Ami if theic is not enough here to cover
expenses, the classes will be additionally assessed the
following jear. Drawing from the treasury would
just mean that less money will accumulate for some
class memorial or for the swimming pool fund
Student uprisings arc infrequent at Penn State
and usually quite harmless. Nevertheless, many who
are not so familiar with the College, are likely to get
the idea that students here lack respect for piopeity
and law With all its faults that student “rovvbot
tom” last week ceitainly did not lack enthusiasm.
However, it would be more piofitable if some of thus
vigor were transferred to New Beaver field next fall.
DEFICIENCY FOR ALL?
State universities may not expel students for
scholastic deficiency, according to a dcciee of a su
pieme court m Ohio, which holds that the only legal
action is retention of such students in a lower grade
Based on the assumption that state univeisitics
must offer education to all who fulfill the require
ments of residence and high school training, the be
lief is sound only where university facilities aie ex
tensive enough to cope with the situation. The con
ditions m Ohio may justify such a dcciee, hut many
universities are not in possession of unlimited fin
ances to meet the problems which would undoubtedly
Th# instance is anothei item in the conflict be
tween theory and practice in courts of law*. Often
stnct adherence to theory makes legal opinion a barrier
to progress If universities cannot use their own judg
ment in dispensing the benefits that they wore estab
lished to disseminate, they must acknowledge a serious
handicap. If they cannot keep check upon wasteful ap
plications of their facilities, if the} cannot seek the
greatest cultural returns from work iq education, col
leges are restricted matenally. * 1 '
■ it is to *>e hoped that the application of the Ohio
decftio wiH not be construed ns a basis for similar
judgments in other states without considointion of the
limiting factors which should be noted No good can
come of injudiciously furtheiing the cause of deficiency
to meet demands of equality and training for all
The selection of Penn State’s new libiarian may
piove a milestone in the development of cultural bene
fits at the College Mi. Lewis is accepting a position
which has come to be considered of importance as the
need for library impiovcment has been leengnizcd
more fully. The oppoitumtics for rehabilitation of
library facilities and methods arc piactically immeas
urable. Such impiovement, keeping in step with other
fonvard strides at Penn State, is vitally important to
the College, and must be accomplished in the near
future if the library is not to prove n deterrant to all
educative advancement here
CLASS DAY
When College officials decided to hold the gindu
atmn exercise*. Monday afternoon and move up Class
Day to Monday morning, seniors wcie given rnoio op
portunity than evet before to really observe a custom
which has been gradually dying out at Penn State.
Tins year Class Day officials have made every
effort to revive intciest in this tiaditionnl event, and
if for no othei icason than the sentimentality at
tached to the last formal meeting of the seniors be
fore graduation, it should be well attended
Next Monday student leadeis of a stiong class
will-assemble for the last time. These leadeis have
been elected by classmates to fill their last official
class role. Seniors should feel it their duty to gather
for tiie lost time at next Monday’s Class Day cxer-
This department has always had a suppressed yen
to do something big mound this school in the line of
artistic endeavor. Well, we did. If jou don’t believe
it, take a run up to the thud floor of Mam Engineer
ing and look on the wall at the noith end of tho
exhibition loom, and theie you’ll see a blue-aml-wlnte
sketch labelled Old Mania It was diawn by Pio
fe«sor Dickson, piobnbly while he was waiting for
Mrs. Dickson to show up with the keys to the cai or
something, and it's a veiy satme little jigger. But it
took its to furnish the title, titles have always come to
us prettv easy like, maybe became we used to hang
mound Baltimoie, which is m a title basin.

Word has just come through on our Grapevine
Teloginph that censoishtp has leared its ugly head
again. We lan up to Main Engineering just to get
the straight dope, and suic enough, Mr. Dickson’s
swell sketches weie gone (even Old Mania). Well,
don’t bother going up to see the exhibit By the
time >ou get theic, the chances me the authorities
will have lemoved Dickson’s still life of a basket

Well, heio it is the end of anothei school jeai.
Somehow it seems to us that there ought to be some-
thing significant in that We mean that after all,
the end of anothei school year ought to signify
something, but does it* Sure it doe- Foi us, it
signifies that we will have to go back home and woik
all summer, instead of idling about the tianquil
little village of State College, serenading fail eo-cds
with our guitai, putting chewing gum in Piexy’s
inkwell, watching the football team oveiwhelm
Pitt, cheeung and singing lustily at pep
meetings, thumbing out nose at any piofcssois we
accidentally come in contact with, and genoially
leading the life of a college boy And now we have
to go back home and woik all summer in the old
mar’s meat mmket That ’s what it signifies’

Some time ago Chat lie Speidel called up the
Depnitment of English Composition. He wanted
to know whcthci the well-known sohloqu} was from
Hamlet or Macßeth. For a minute oi two the De
paitnient was stumped, no one was just suie which
play tho soliloquy w*as fiom. Finally some bnghty
stepped up and said it was fiom Macßeth. Charlie
said thank jou, that he and Leo Houck had been
aiguing about it, and hung up. He didn’t sav which
one had been light.
