TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1932
WITH THREE WEEKS of mulling: and discussion
already spent on next year’s rushing code, a committee
on Freshman Week now cooperation of Inter-
fraternity Council in eliminating rushing before Sunday
of the opening period. Postponement will not eliminate
actual rushing. This year some of the most intensive
rushing was done before the beginning of Freshman
week and the opening of the regulated rushing season.
To hope that fraternity men will not disturb their fresh-
man quarry for over a week is a Utopian revery. Fresh-
man Week and rushing must, of necessity, struggle
along under the handicap of each other under the pres-
ent arrangement. This conflict is only another argu-
ment for deferred rushing.
A SIX O’CLOCK DINNER hour has been one of
the goals of athletic officials ever since thejdea of “Ath-
letics for All” was proposed. Everyone seems to realize
tho advantages of an uninterrupted two-hour period of
leisure. As its contribution, the College has practically
eliminated the four o’clock class. Fraternities and
boarding houses might possibly do their part by making
the simple half-hour change.
THE POLL of the students and faculty is being
conducted mainly in the interests of stimulating thought
on the political candidates and issues that are being
bruited about so much at the present time. It will, of
course, be interesting to see how Penn State compares in
political thought with other institutions. The belief
that the American college student is unusually apathetic
about political matters has been refuted by the inter-
est already shown in elections held at many of the col-
leges. Whether or not Penn State students are inter-
ested, this week’s poll will show,
. WITH A NOTE of sadness we view the most
recent addition to the Penn State legion of “honoraries.”
Injfact before any new honorary is founded it ought to
fulfill some great need in order to justify its existence.
With an honorary or two in every field at the present.
time, a certain amount of imagination is necessary for
justifying any additional groups. Elimination rather
than duplication seems a sound policy. And so it is
with bated breath that we watch for this new key, for
projects begun enthusiastically, later left to languish
away, of meetings poorly attended. Whether this one
will he different only time can tell.
WHILE A COMMITTEE wrestles with the prob
lems of improving Freshman W;cek it seems timely to
suggest the elimination of the intelligence test from the
already crowded schedule that confronts the entering
student. The tests are recognized generally as being
of littlp value except in the detection of abnormal in
telligence. No longer arc they accepted as a slide-rule
cn which all degrees of intelligence can be determined.
IT IS AN INTERESTING commentary to note
that only five traditions now remain at Michigan State
as the result of a Student Council house-cleaning of
outworn regulations. The freshman green cap and four
general customs, that apply to the entire student body,
arc all that remain on the books. Among those elimin-
ated were the wearing of a coat, giving way on the side
walk to upperclassmen, and the “no dating” rule.
CLIQUES have always been organized for the
freshman class elections—prohibitory rules notwith
standing. Although the offices for which thefreshmen
compete give little opportunity for service or recogni
tion and seem hardly worth the effort spent, the experi
ence gained by the freshman politicians makes legaliza
tion of cliques a constructive move. Recognized cliques,
rather than sub rosa organization, arc certainly con
sistent with the policy of open politics.
Edtrs. Note: The Maniac having left our bed'and
board, the editors of this paper disclaim all respon
sibility for what appears in the column.
It has come to the attention .of The Maniac that
“Jingles" Balthaser has lately joined the ranks of that
sect commonly known as Lovers. Uhuh! That happy
looking big blonde boy that you see carrying a certain
co-ed’s books up and down, up and down, up n’down,
(it’s killing us) the campus is the lad. And while
we’re on the subject, next week we’ll have another ro
mance for you, and the next, and the next ....

They had us worried for a while folks. We’ve
always maintained that it was perfectly all right to
.attack established institutions, and have firmly be
lieved that the college student should be the first to
lead those who storm the gates that need storming.
We’ve always liked to see good chiseling, too, but
when they start in to chisel and tear down our main
place of abode, when we see our very source of cokes
disappearing before our very eyes, then fellow citi
zens, then it’s time for men of courage, men of back
bone, all of us, to step in with a protest.

We refer to the cuckoo clock on the Corner as
Usual.
Yes, we heard the story about another lad look
ing for Galbraith on the second floor of the Kappa
House. Must be a game. Wonder if you noticed the
Skippered Rotisce Blades performing on the Corner
the other (Saturday) night. Great stuff these initia
tions. Some of the same boys were found near Pleas
ant Gap ’bout 2:30 A. M-. too. Must have been plenty
of Gaping about that hour ....
For weeks we have been suppressing the urge to
call one of our contemporary mud-slingvs a stench
in the nostrils of collegiate journalism. . You hoar
ithat, Mr. Campuseer? Steal our stuff would you?
Take that and that and that!
Speaking of stenches, out in the western part of
.the state where they grow cathedrals of learning the
official student publication advertised far and wide
for an original title. For long nights the editors sat
at their desks groping for flashy titles like: The
Sentinel, Watchdog, Beiblatt, Beobachter. Call, and
so on. After some days of, this and no suggestions
from the outside world the paper finally appeared
.under the impressive Anglo-Saxon- title—The Pitt
News. Congratulations!
We’d like to settle this question of puns once,
and for all. Do you, or do you not, like them? Not
that we really care, hut we wish you’d let us know.
Personally we’ve- decided that puns • are half wit and
half humor. Humor you try the mgse wit you have to
halve. Whew! Well, cigarette life if you don’t
weaken!
