TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1932 ACTION, PLEASE If never before, student opinion has crystallized sufficiently this year in favor of making moves toward deferred rushing. No one entertains hopes that this deferred rushing, which is being bruited about so much in talk, can be secured in one stroke. It will come slow ly—as fast as fraternity finances and other difficulties can be remedied. •Tliis year is rapidly slipping away, and nothing has been done. It is certain that deferred rushing won’t “just grow” like famed Topsy and that it will not spring full-planned from the head of some Council official of the present or future. Deferred rushing can only come as the result of a well-arranged, steady, year-by-year growth. Somr plan should be worked out this year that will furnish a method of''attack. A definite date should be set when fraternities will go on the deferred system. With this date then in view, the chapters could lay their plans ami be prepared. All the experienced assist ance that is available should be made’ accessible and given the fraternities to aid them in gradually adapting themselves to the system of sophomore rushing. Those persons who argue that deferred rushing cannot be realized until the College enrollment in creases, and arc content in this belief to watch it grow, are falsely consoling themselves. It is true that de ferred rushing means one less class to be drawn upon for members. This difference must be made up by larg er upperclass membership under the existing budget scales. But as the College grows in the future so will the number of fraternities increase to meet the demand as they have done in the past. Deferred rushing will once more be put off until the enrollment again in- Thc College, acting upon recommendation of the In terfraternity council, should refuse to recognize and even discourage further attempts to establish fraternit- ies at Penn State. Fraternities that must operate on a membership of from fifty to sixty men are the ones that now stand especially in the way of deferred rushing. They must be guided in their future policies and finances by intelli gent advisers so that they may as quickly as possible he brought to a reasonable scale of existence. Unfor- tunately, new houses, equipped with everything from moats to dungeon-keeps, have been the prevailing style. A conservative home, simple in its design and built to accommodate thirty or thirty-five men, seems to be the ideal fraternity of the near future. Launching its annual drive for finances, the Penn State Christian association now seeks the wherewithal to continue its work on the campus. How deeply its far ilung enterprises affect the student body is not necessary for narration here. It is a matter of daily acquaintance. ANOTHER ALUMNI DAY A general good cheer presided over the ceremonies of Alumni Day this year. Sometimes it’s rather an un- satisfactory conclusion to alumni and student anticipa- tions. This time the celebration, though subdued, was marked by a greater sincerity and a greater apprecia tion of the real advances made at Alnja Mater. A sanity and dignity which points to the ideal Alumni Day showed themselves more this year than perhaps ever before. It is apparent that a high regard for the Col lege continually impresses its graduates. The game brought back an enthusiasm for the sport ol football here which is comparable to the old thirst for victory which marked the days of the subsidized teams. A new loyalty to the teams is growing up, this time built on the firmer basis of true amateurism. How much more exalted is the feeling of backing a team which is untainted hy the reproach of professionalism. Criticisms of the day centered on minor considera tions. Alumni were acutely disappointed when the Blue Band of which they are boastful did not make an ap pearance. Also the cheerleaders were censured for their failure to organize cheers at the very moments when the stands were howling for a chance to express their enthusiasm. Songs were crooned in a timid fashion. This fault is laid at the door of both the singers and the leaders. Destruction of fraternity’decorations on Friday night finds no excuse and mars a contest which students hnvo tried hard to build up. It was childish vandalism which the college man has long outgrown. In sum, however, the alumni and the students join in snying that the past Alumni Day brought a sincere and warmer feeling of loyalty to the campus.
