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."

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

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.”

the independent voters feel that he
stands for certain changes that would
in some vague manner alleviate our
condition.
"Fifth, that the influence of Nor
man Thomas has not been felt by a
sufficient portion of the laboring and
agrarian population which arc dis
contented under present conditions.
Thomas will roll up perhaps as high
as 2,000,000 votes, but these will be
largely protest votes.from those who
have no faith in either of the major
parties.

appeal ,to the people in his lowa and
Cleveland addresses, he has been un
able to stem the tide in favor of Roose
velt. Lacking strong organization
support in many states, he began his
appeal to the people at too late a
date.”
