CONVOCATION
Convocation tomorrow morning officially opens Penn
State’s seventy-siNth year. Students m the past have
been inclined to ignore this important College ceremony,
although it is the only occasion when the entire student
body is assembled
Believing in the importance of convocation, and
desiring to preserve it as a tradition at Penn State,
President Hctzcl has chosen a subject for his address
that should be of more than usual interest to the stu
dent body.
In selecting a subject concerned with the forces
which aie moulding the New Penn State, President
Hetzel has placed a definite obligation upon each upper
classman to attend convocation ceremonies.
Into a placid campus which is not renowned for
thinking outside the classroom by the majority, has come
a sponsor for rational student controversy, in the form
of a new magazine which bears an old name. The Old
Main Bell, long hterarily stolid, has emulated Foium in
a sudden departure into the field of argument and re
form, and the first effort of the new board is surpris
ingly satisfactory.
Mel James was sitting in the Schnnppszimmcr
when a rather bow ildered looking chap entered, wearily
thumbing a college catalogue. Having nothing better
to do, Mel thought he’d rush the fellow, for he seemed
an excellent freshman. Mel went over to him and,
, , .1 smiling amiably, said, "Arc you entering college?”
If the move was intended to be revolutionary, it ....
"No, I'm not, Mel, replied the fellow. j J
was certainly thorough; for a new cover, new layouts,
and new vigorous policies complete the revision The
Old Main Bell can fill a much-needed niche at Penn State
with its new editorial plan, and the first issue gives
promise that it will accomplish its ends with articles
that arc essentially interesting and readable, and pur
poseful as well.
SELECTING THE HOUSE
Throughout the continual round of entertainment
in fraternity rushing it might be well for freshmen to
consider the true objective of their numerous visits into
the fraternity dinmg room Too many new students are
concerned with the fact that they are on trial, and not
enough realize that the fraternities which arc so eager
tc entertain them should also be weighed and balanced
against many circumstances
Actually, fraternities arc up against the more diffi
cult task. They must choose from over 1200 students a
dozen or so freshmen who will fit into their particular
environment. The freshman should easily cut the field
down to half a dozen houses after a few days of rushing
A freshman must realize that selecting the right
fraternity does not necessarily depend upon his visiting
every house at Penn State, but rather upon a syste
n ntic narrowing down of. the houses early in rushing
period. When this is accomplished it would help the
situation if rushccs would discourage engagements at
fraternities where they have no intention of accepting
a pledge.
The announcement of Navy's withdrawal from the
Eastern Intercollegiate Boxing Association was met with
regret and quite some surprise at Penn State; regret,
that the finely conditioned midshipmen boxers would not
again add to the color of the final tournament; surprise,
that the institution which was largely responsible for
the founding and developing of college boxing should
find it necessary to withdraw from the league just when
boxing was gaining national recognition as a college
sport.
WOMEN’S RUSHING
Panhcllcmc and its predecessor, Campus Clubs
Council, have been criticized and reviled these many
years for ineffectual management of women’s rushing.
Confusion and altercation resulting from the misinter
pretations of the often understated rules have done as
much to hinder fair play and cooperation among the
women’s fraternities as has actual competition ftfr
rushces.
This year the situation shows signs of having been
copod with by Panhellenic with hitherto incompaiable
efficiency. Efforts have been made to consider the prob
lems of the rushccs as well as those of the "rival” fra
ternities. Pamphlets describing the various fraternities
will be circulated at the opening of rushing season,
when the Panhellenic advisor will discuss fraternities
and rushing.
Despite these commendable innovations rushing will
tiot bo without discord unless the unwritten laws of con
duct and fairness are rigidly followed. Both rushccs
and "rushers” should unite with the Council m an at-
CAMPUSEER
Yeah, 110110' Have our card, people, just fill in
>our name and scram Hero you aie:
"Ilello How are yo?
Glad to see you, too.
Have a good summer?
Nope, I couldn’t get a job either.
Well, how many yo got down in ycr cellar?
Ila, Ha' Yenh, I’ll be seem’ ya "
And that takes care of the greeting problem.
If thcic are any people around here who are really
trying hard to get along they’re the lads selling pub
lication subscriptions The other day one of them
stopped Director Giant and proceeded to unload his
sales talk "Yes,” he told the music director, "you
ought to road the Collegian. Look at this issue—
..why, here are all the college songs—you’ll certainly
want to learn them.”
Yesterday we were on our way to the campus to
explore the year’s crop of new buildings when we
overtook a lady walking with a little gul about four
years old. This young woman looked at us over her
shoulder and past her curls, and watched us approach.
She smiled at us, and then said something to her
mother. Just as we were passing she was repeating,
“I Want to kiss that man, I want to kiss that man'”
Wc have often said that a college town is no place in
which to laise a child
Jake Phillips, earnest Commerce & Financcr, at
tended the auction in town last week, and picked up one
of those old-fashioned hand organs Now he’s got the
thing installed in the Phi Ep club room, partially
hidden by a sign which reads: "The Jacob Phillips
Memorial Organ. Bought at Auction for One Dollar.
He Got it Wholesale.”
And theie is another notice: “Closed During the
Holidays.”
About Town and Campus: There seems to be an
informal alumni reunion in town . . . Ex-big shots
wandering around include Janet Brownback, Bill
Ulerich, Ralph Hutchinson, Paul Mitten, Doc Harper,
Izzy Heicklin, and Bill Kerr . . . Bill piloted a gal
loping trolley car in Wildwood, New Joiscy, during
the summer . . . And Duko Morris is back to manage
the Varsity Ten . . . Grace Greer is married . . .
Peg Hopwood is now Mrs Murray Miller . . And
wo\c heard rumors about Mert Saybolt, Phi' Dolt's
sentimental rhymster.. . . Sorry folks, but the Dot
Johnson who sings over the radio is not the Thes
pian’s Dot Johnson ... We hear there’s a co-ed named
Candy w’ho lives on Chocolate Avenue m Hershey ...
Girls, those Empress Eugenic hcad-perchcrs are posi
tively out of style . . . Ask Tex Hammer, the tennis
manager, to show you a nautical dance step called the
"Fleet Hop” . . . There’s an upperclassman walking
around in a loudly striped blazer, like a college man
or something ... Glad to sec smiling Bob Keeler back
agum to give the new co-cds the once-over . . . he’s
always worth a few lines in this column . . . The Sue
Recvs-Carolyn Ridge Co. began operations again yes
teiday morning ... When will Madeline Delaney turn
