Although the ma ity of Penn State's alumni hate bacheil the College in its stand for non-subsidived spoils, these are still ninny vb.; hate placed the question of victoi y or defeat far in the tan of everything else. Judging lions the support Penn State students pledged the team at the Sy incase sally, it seems that the undermaduate vicsspoint, slow to materialize at f rst, now definitely and emphatically backs the College policy. We ale not tsying to undesestimate the value of victim}, but rte do belie‘e that Penn State has placed emtain minciples in the foreground, and that these principles, if properly basked by alumni and students, will not only go.e the proper emphasis to victoiy, but will develop une•celleil ideals of sportsmanship and - fail play ON THE DECLINE The seer thou of football as the "mighty monarch cf college spot ts" within the next ten teals has been predicted by Di William G Anderson, director of the Yale gymnasium. lie cites as seasons for the decline of football as a commercial spectacle, the rise of other sports, and the development of good teams by mallet colleges. The peal. of popularity has been reached and is being missed, he is quoted as saying. Ills prophecy, in the light of present bends, is both s good and neleome one. Minoi spoils are drawing more interest from students, and intramural sports ale gain tug impetus College men arc realizing that the foot ball spectacle is an mer-inflated bubble of commercial glitter Outsiders are flocking to the gates of many studio, but it isn't a college crowd. The college crowd knib. the atmosphese, but with the realization that they arc mei ely putting on a big show, undergraduates will withdraw much of their support and the bubble will collapse Many students would prefer engaging in sports themselves to notching eleven hirelings on a field And diversified interests, in ninny Glosses of spot t, pro becoming e, Mont The fall of football, when It comes, Is not to be lamented. Greater ,ports variety and mole Intmulal competition are to be welcomed And the 100enue which now comes flom a magnificent football train can well be supplied by a dozen sports when ntetest in them has been Increased. CO-ED RUSHING REVISION Realizing that the pi esent women's rushing code as defined by the association Is not adequate, Panhellenic is conducting a survey to discos et methods of rushing uhich othei colleges have found to be satisfactoiy. 'Without the cooperation of all of the uomen's fia tcrnities, Panhellenic is incapable of iemedy trig the pres ent situation. Adverse ciiticism without constructive ralsice merely points out the deficiencies of the system. Creative suggestions are necessary for revision. Each chapter should consider it a duty to decide reensures which they ',maid like to have put in practice. Each fraternal organwation should recommend re, isions loch they believe would correct the deficiencies Ono of the ideas which has already been submitted to the Council is that rumor transferred students be rushed after they have completed one semester's work at Penn State Under the present rule no woman stu eent may be rushed until she "has been registered for ono year in the Pennsyhania State College" Seniors and graduate students are the only excep tions to this ruling. Ne,ertheless, it does not seem fair that although a woman student has completed two years m ono college and a semester at Penn State she is still ineligible for a fraternity Ind. Since the purpose of fratetnal life is to supply companionship and high ideals to its members it is questionable whether but one year of membership can fulfill this intent M. M W. OLD MANIA WO% C heard this stony to ice in the last couple of %%eats, anti no, you might as well hear it. The lust time we listened to the tecital, the scene seas laid light bete at State College, Pa. The second time, it hail happened at Lehigh Unneisity. And then when ,e mentioned it just recently, someone told us that it oyes an actual happening all right, but that tt took place on the Univeisity of Illinois campus. Anyway• It seems that a certain professor about town is a fancim of tuck goldhoh, and always keeps a bowl ot• tone of word-tails of guppies or some y ninety of cal p mound the house. (In case you're interested, gold fish ate merely carp gone smoothy.) One night another fish-fancier from the clinic !stay depaitment dropped in for a friendly chat, and en the way out he stopped to look at some of the fish "Alm , " said the chemist. "Hose you noticed the mould grow mg on these fish' Something should he done about that" The professor said no, lie hadn't noticed, and what should lie do about it , So the chemist offered to take the afflicted fish home v. ith him and treat them with a certain solution which would clear up the growth. Aeconlingly he wrapped the sis or eight fish in his et handkerchief, uluch is the way experts have for carrying lush to & no, and started home across the campus It being sort of a chilly night, the chem istry profmism felt a sudden sneeze coming on, and instinct!, ely ,lei knit the handkerchief from his pocket, scattming the valuable goldfish to the four winds. This was a tuff situation, but the professor made the best of it by getting down on his hands & knees in the grass and feeling around for the missing fish, lighting a match mmy now & then to improve the ISlblllt3. A campus cop, mer on the alert, noticed tho flare limn the matches and strolled riser to see hat was up. There was the austere & dignified professor of ehenustly on his hands & knees, lighting matches and peering under leaves and clumps of gram. "I beg your pardon, sir," said the campus cop, "but Mutt are you looking lot," "I'm looking for goldfish," replied the professor, lighting another match. The campus cop thought this over, and came to his ot‘n conclusions "Don't Sou think you'd better let roc take you home, sn "" he asked. "It's pretty late to lie out looking Los goldfish" The profe , soi said no, he didn't is ant to be taken home, but he leoidd like to hollow a flashlight. So the cop thought it best to humor the old gent, and gave him the flashlight Wheieupon the professor proceeded to pluck goldfish from the grass right & left, until' he had rctrieted the whole batch. The cop blinked a couple tunes, 'rubbed has eyes and shudder ed. "Look heic," he quid "Will you take vie home" The slime is an interesting e•ample of stories which make the rounds of the college campuses, and eventually become tradition. If you know of any others, you might send them in to this department, c/o this journal This will save us hours of worry about what to write, and will sal, you the bother of telling it to the whole college. Our utilitatian tendencies am irked by the fact thst the College maintains too swell flagpoles on the flora campus, and hardly e'er puts flags on them. Aftet all, uhat are flagpoles for' Possibly they were put up IN ith an etc to the day when the Cider Scrap mould be res ned, and a keg of cider run up each pole. The freshmen & sophomm es would break each other's noses S. legs to see mho could 'clam up the poles and grub the kegs. What s th culei at two bits a gallon though, this is unlikely.
