FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1932 A CONSUMMATION DEVOUTLY WISHED Nearly everyone admits that deferred rushing is the only solution for the elimination of evils in the rush ing system at Penn State. Only too well do they appreci ate the fact that deferred rushing can come only over a period of years. What is being done as this year’s step toward its realization? Instead of spending a large part of their time and effort in finding a plan that will speed on the day of .deferred rushing, fraternity men and even their wiser advisers now struggle over another code for the first week of rushing. The worst quibbling is still to come as the fraternities individually discuss the matter and make suggestions before the final plan is adopted. And meanwhile nothing tangible is being done toward the end that the majority of fraternity men recognize as the one solution. Apparently deferred rushing is too far in the future for short-sighted human .beings to do much more than think about. The now plan proposes one week of controlled rush ing and another of hisscz-Jairc —as it has been termed by the more tendcr-soulcd fraternity men. It has been well enough thought out to warrant immediate adop tion without further ado. Some protection must be af forded the freshman in the opening week of college—i since it is now impossible to do that for the entire year. Then, too, the unrestricted period has its merits—most ly in favor of fraternity men. Yes, this proposed plan is good. No doubt it is bet ter than last year’s and will be worse than next year’s. Who knows? None of them can ever attain the impos sible and be satisfactory. So why.quibble about mere technicalities? The very approach to a first-week rush ing season is vicious and makes codified rules at best a shaky protection. Why not accept this code with its recognized fall ability as a temporary measure and at the same time work on for the solution of deferred rushing? All the talent of tha interfraternity solons should now be directed toward plotting a course that will bring deferred rushing within five years, or ten, or who knows how many. The details of the proposed code are a minor matter for only passing concern. They must he glossed over for matters of greater importance. Some council sooner or later must make a step toward deferred rush- ing if its advantages are ever to benefit Penn State fra ternities and the harassed entering freshmen.. Forty undergraduates were present at the last phonographic concert of classical music held by the So cial Problems club. Through wider publicity the club r.ow invites members of the student body to the concerts that they may share in its pleasures. Culturally starved undergraduates need only watch the columns of this paper for announcements of coming concerts. HAPPY WITH HARVARD The weight of good feeling which the football team and its followers brought back from Cambridge pretty well outweighs any lop-sidedness of score. No dissent- ing voices were raised when it was said that the game and all the circumstances surrounding it were some of the most satisfactory we have ever had. • With rare good feeling and fine courtesy, the Har vard men met and played against the Lions. The game was splendid in sportsmanship and the hospitality was totally convincing. The Harvard men understood the ideal which is now controlling Penn State athletics, saying through their Athletic Association News that: There is some honor duo, -then, 'to the college which deliberately interrupts a winning tradition in football because it feels that its football is not ful filling the whole function it might fulfill in relation 'to every undergraduate. There is still more honor due the college which organizes, not by empty theor izing but in one clean stroke, knowing that football tlefeats will follow but going out to meet those de feats while fighting, heads up, for possible victory. Such a college is Penn State, the school of the Nit tany Lions of old and a celebrated name in Eastern college football. They warmed the hearts of Penn State followers by praise, saying that: In the reorganization of its athletics and phy sical education, Penn State became one of the most advanced, perhaps the most advanced, in the United .When an opponent recognizes such a situation in to gentlemanly a fashion, he is a happy opponent to oppose. There is spread a feeling of warmth and good cheer about all the rivalry—which is the first essence of sportsmanship. John Harvard showed himself to be a real host, a fino gentleman, and a sportsman. The Penn State stu dents are eager to meet him again and others like him. CAMPUSEER BY HIMSELF What with everybody starting campaigns and everything, we would like to hear from our numerous Constituency upon the subject of splitting infinitives. An old purist ourself, we cannot but wince at the .promiscuous mutilating of these particular parts of speech, especially on the part of learned faculty mem bers. (Den Irvine says that split is a horrid verb.) If there is sufficient response to this appeal, we will make a sincere elFort to obtain two tickets to the local palaces of cinematography for the next super-sanded, sage-scented, sunset-spotted Zane Grey epic to be pre sented to the person sending us the longest list of in finities to actually and without the slightest suspicion of a doubt be split asunder within the space of a week. (Not that it matters, but Mr. Tangcr said some thing the other day about losing sight of the voice of the pcopic.) *** * * * Bill Armstrong, of the Alpha Chi Rho Arm strongs, had one of the brethren get him a blind date Saturday. He then proceeded to ’phone Mac Hall and •ask for his date by the name as he remembered it. The sweet voice on the other end of the wire didn't know anybody with a handle like that, but just for the sake of argument she paddled all over the building to make sure she hadn't missed up on someone. A pro longed search availed not a thing, and the lady as a last resort asked Armstrong for a description of the “forgotten woman." Among other not-too-compli mentary details, he mentioned pugness of nose and chunkiness of build. The co-ed didn’t know anybody like that. ’ “E’theway,” said she, “what’s your name?" “Armstrong,” said he. “My Golly," wailed the gel, “you’re the guy Fm dating tonight." !****:):* Campi|seriously Speaking Wie rate ourself in the category of public beno- factors on account of all the dirt we could do, and Who were the fellas that as witness played ducks and drakes with the fair name of Penn .State in a Boston hostelry? ....

The Penn State Photo Shop 212 East College Ave. Roosevelt Will Win by Large Majority, Alderfer Predicts Franklin D, Roosevelt will be elect ed President of the United States by a three to five million majority, in the opinion of Dr. Harold F. Alderfer, associate professor of political science. Reasons given by Dr. Alderfer for his opinion arc: "First, many of the conservative Republicans are lukewarm in their support of Hoover. The absence of such- men as Grundy, Moses, Watson, and others from the active campaign is felt. "Second. Hoover cannot command the support of many of the liberal Republicans. Borah, Johnson, Norris, and many of the western so-called insurgents or near insurgents are either silent in regard, to or antagon istic to Hoover. "Third, whether it is logical or not, the Hoover administration is synono roous with the economic depression in the minds of many of the more or less discontented elements who yet are not inclined to support the more radical . programs of the minor parties. "Fourth, Roosevelt has thus far been unable to be tagged with the sponsorship of ideas that would mean any radical changes in our economic or political systems. Yet he has been More Liberal Arts Favored by 3 Deans (Continued from page one) time devoted to liberal arts subjects." "I think it is possible to concen trate,” says Dean Watts, “to include in our curricula the most essential material and leave more timtf for the humanities and other .liberal arts subjects. However, technicians will have to be trained better than 'ever, but this does not necessarily mean that more time should be spent on numerous technical subjects. Instead, it implies sifting out the more im portant material and concentrating on it.” Dean Whitmore also favors the in clusion of more liberal arts subjects in the curricula than is the case at the present time, but he adds that it is a question of how much more, what technical courses to take out, and what liberal arts courses to put in. "Theoretically,- the . more liberal arts work a student can take the bet ter it is,” he points out, "but practic ally, it becomes a matter of how much time the student has for train ing himself to be. a professional man.” Alumni....
