Thursday, September 10, 1931 COLLEGE CUSTOMS RULE CAMPUS LIFE Special Restrictions Apply to Freshmen—Second Year Rules Abandoned Customs at Penn State are pinc ticcs passed on by student generation to student generation which finally reach the place of established tradi tions. Prom many sources these practices spring and become ingrain ed m studenc doings through contin ued use. The present customs can be divided into two classes, customs for the whole student body and customs for the freshmen. The’ first group in cludes those practices of courtesy for the whole student body, while the sec ond set of customs is imposed for v thc purpose of disciplining the first year man and instilling mto him the right and proper respect for the three upper classes Foremost m the first group of cus toms is the cordial exchange of Hello’s with which all students greet each other at the College. Every student also greets the President in this manner with a tip of the hat 01 a salute added. ' 1 Customs Listed At all athletic meets Penn State students conduct themselves as gen tlemen and sportsmen. At indopr meets, it is customary to remove hats and to refrain from smoking The singing of the Alma Mater is always awaited at the end of events. Smok ing on the campus is confined to plac es outside the classrooms and labora tories. Students at the College klo not paste or paint stickers or seals bear ing the College insignia in conspicu ous -places such as on automobiles, baggage, slickers or coats. It is axio matic that there arc more satisfac tory ways in which the Penn State man distinguishes himself. By student action in the spring last semester all sophomore regulations were abolished so that the freshman class is the only group which is re stricted by arbitrary regulation. How ever, all students taking basic R 0 T.C. are expected to wear the regula tion hat while in uniform The freshman restrictions arc as follows. 1. Do not go, without coats at any lime 2. Do not use the front campus walk or sit on the wall. 3. Do not walk on grass or wjiero grass ought to be 4. -Never be without your dink and plain black tic.
