FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1931
NO MORAL VICTORIES
For ninny pears in this College, Penn State spirit has
been mote than just an intangible something, spoken of
in student nines meetings and heard of Item Penn State
students Ashen islittany tennis use successful It has
often been so teal doming the football season that, pos
sessing it, the student body has been able to transfer it
to Lion des ens, and, lacking it, these same elevens have
put forth disheartening eshibitions.
Tomos sow, in Philadelphia, where Penn State teams
have often fought against aids and emerged victotions,
r much impsmed Nittany team 4,111 battle n smithy
Temple eleven It is extremely probable that again
this Blue and White outfit is ill 'effect the spnit of the
Penn State student body. It is the duty of every stu
cent to see that his support is complete, that it is en
couraging and mobilising.
Penn State's new and commendable athletic policy
undoubtedly will cause the student body to look upon
losses in the future eith a finer spurt. But before a
great contest is no tame to think of losses On the
field the team still not think of odds for us agsmst
them. The team has no des's° for "moral 5 actin "
In Captain Lesich, Penn State has a leadei of ahem
it can well lie mood, a leader who is a constant inspira
tion to bin team. If the Nittany captain is a teilee
bon of Penn State spurt on the guiliton, that spirit
should cm tainly be nughty enough to lane Penn State's
colors oyes the Temple Stadium tomm ion.
In order to increase its semce to students who will
not be able to attend the away-from-home football games
this year, the Athletic Association has made every effort
to provide a <hied and efficient communication by tele
phone Lions foreign fields to the Scimab auditcnium
In the past tins set vice has not been completely satis

PLEDGES AND PRECEDENCE
Four bundled fieshmen base been seduced front
the stature of kings to that of errand-boys by the
rimbeation of a pledge-pin, and a few of them don't
like the idea a bit. Just yesterday it seems, that senior
was passing eigalettes to them, and , eeing that they
vein eitnifortable; and today he wants somebody to
snake him, somebody to get the mail. Some new stu
twat, me inclined to declare Irately, "I didn't know it
was going to he like this!"
The piocess by sihich fieshnien ate turned front
lushees into pledges is startling to new nice, but en
tirely logical. In every fiateinity house theic ate cot
bun tusks ii Melt must be done systematically It is
right to suppose that sonic definite group should be
given the tesponsibility for this wollc. Sophomoi es and
humors in many cases are busy in activities; seniors are
ffnescr tied up with the contacts they hate made in
tine° years. Freshmen alone have the time, and are
the logical group because their promotion mill come
later
It would be heattcning if fteshmen pledges tenured
this logic requited no compulsion; but some still not,
and this fact gives the disagreeable part of the pledge's
life an excuse for being. If force is used, time are
always uppetclass Inothets who will abuse the privi

sionally the pledge is browbeaten into servitude, tthere

fallacy, in a hatetraty sthete men live as brothers,
seems a pi etty steals point to the svtlem, and if fresh
men tealtved their duties wet'e Justly imposed, and

to adopt the more congenial attitude of equal Writhe,

OLD MANIA
At a rushing fleeting of one of the Creek groups
last meek, the name of a rectum ftieshman came up
for discussion. This Ind was a very smooth fella in
deed, vfell tecommended, financially solvent, and with
all the earmarks of hnowing the score The brothers
were all set to send him a bid when someone pointed
out the fact that the fieshman in question would mob
ably scant to go in fot advanced It. O. T. C., hieing as
he had quite a militaristic background. This would
shoot one of the house's finest tiailitions all to hell
& gone
After stuck discussion pro & con, a question mark
was put aft'er the lad's name, and the brothers went
on down the list. At the final meeting it was de
ruled to send bun a bid.
The chapter figured that two years in the pacifistic
atmosphere of the house would deter him from selling

Our Big Won} , for this week is the business of
getting to & from the Temple game, and right now
it looks as tho this dept will be standing along the
road today somewhere between State College &
Philadelphia, whistling Let the Rest of the ll'othl Co
By, and waiting for somebody to come along and take
us to the corn. of Mond & Mallet or someplace
Aryono desiring excellent company lot the tilp kindly
get in touch with the 01,1 Maniac, c/o Penn State
COLLFCIAN, and well be glad to tide down In their
cal. We'll guniantee to be very witty all the way
down & back, and what's more, ye won't charge them
a cent Not a damn penny.
This summer we were bumming around up in the
Poconos. and a gent picked us up in a bee-yoottful
Thoce Allow coupe. This bird was a prosperous
looking, noddle-aged sort of a guy, the kind that
almays looks as if he was figuring out a new way to
cut donn on the ptethead.
For the lust five miles or so nobody said a word.
Finally we remarked in our pleasantest manner, "This
certainly is a beautiful eat you have."
"Oughts be," growled the party in chargC. "I
worked forty-three years to get it"
Right then we could see that neither of us had
much in common. After fifty or so miles of nice
scenery, the man turned °IT the main road and let us
out We sad thank you ever so much and he said
y'nelcome & good luck t'ya, with which lie drove off
in his bee-yootiful Pierce Arrow coupe which he had
snorted forty-three years to get.
It was a swell automobile all right. Just the
same, we wondered if it was worth it
Out at Wooster University at Wooster, Ohio, a
cow was recently butelicied, and a Sigma Pi pin found
in its stomach We can't figure it out ourselves, but
me thought you might be interested If it had been a
Phi Mu pin, that mould be easier to savvy.
A letter came to Phi Psi Box about a month
ago (it takes us that long to hear about things)
addressed to one of the N, Immen who were there dur
ing summer school. The letter was from Chicago, and
scan addressed to Mary Zilch, Phi Kappa Psi House,
State College, Penn. Esidently the person who
%%iota the address didn't do a very legible job, as the
letter had been sent to Peru.
