WEEK-END CONVENTION
Student representatives from colleges and univer
sities in various parts of the State will meet here today
and tomorrow to discuss current campus problems and
to consider the formation of a permanent Association
of Pennsylvania Colleges. As the first meeting of its
kind held in this State, it holds promise of becoming an
annual affair.
The same danger which has resulted in the failure
of similar conventions confronts the delegates here to
day. 'Will this meting degenerate into a glorified “bull
session,” or will it produce something of definite value
*to the representatives and their colleges? Of course,
there is much to be gained from an interchange of ideas,
even if no definite action results at the time. -But too
many generalities will kill active interest and stifle
progress.
(Several definite projects that this convention could
inaugurate have been suggested. A news service for
members of the association, similar to that furnished by
the National Student Federation of America, has been
proposed. Also, an athletic clearing house, which would
aid in making up schedules and filling vacancies and
cancellations, will be considered..
More important than these two, however, will be
tho formation of a permanent student association of
colleges in- the State. Such an organization already
exists in North Carolina and Georgia. If the practical
difficulties, such as financing, can be ironed out, it can
become a reality for Pennsylvania. Aside from the def
inite projects that can be sponsored by the association,
better cooperation and understanding should result be
tween member'colleges. Moi*c of this is needed if stu
dent government and. other student activities are to
function effectively.
** TWO SPEAKERS; TWO SYSTEMS
The difference between two- speakers, more than
tho difference between two systems, was evident in the
debate Tuesday night between Noel Sargent, capitalist,
and Norman Thomas, socialist. The latter, an enter
taining and forceful campaigner, won the applause of
tho audience with an attractive picture of a socialist
order. Mr. Sargent, an executive rather than an orator
by profession, had the psychological handicap of defend
ing an economic system which is now gripped in a world
wide depression. 'Backers of the debate have been ac
cused of presenting a poorly -matched combination,
thereby favoring the socialist side. 'However, such ac
cusations are groundless when it is known that three
other outstanding defenders of capitalism were invited
to debate Mr. Thomas, each of whom declined.
If Mr. Thomas was guilty of using the mouthy
phrases that appear in all socialist literature, so was
Mr. Sargent charged with presenting capitalist plati
tudes which have not been borne out by present ex
perience. The assertion that the chief purpose of the
average capitalist is to serve society smells of moth
balls. Likewise, the equality of pay “bogey,” to which
many socialists do not subscribe, was uselessly pounced
upon at great length by Mr. Sargent. On the other
hand, Mr. Thomas’ statement that “no system has ever
worked worse than ours” might be questioned.
As in most debates, the audience was probably left
in more of a muddle than ever as to just what is the way
out of the present economic depression. The emotional
appeal of Mr. Thomas was convincing at the time, but
lacked a permanent hold on the audience. Is socialism'
tho solution? At least, Mr. Thomas admitted that it
will not be a panacea. With “pork barrel” legislature
as it is, will a system which places all industry into the
realm of government make for more efficient and
equitable administration? Or will capitalism, to save
its own skin, effect reforms within itself which will pro
long or perpetuate its existence? Mr. Sargent says yes;
Mr. Thomas says no. These are questions which tho
college student, cloistered in a small, town though he
made "be, cannot evade. There is no passive course.
Tho system which periodically throws its workers into
breadlines should not continue unchanged. Today’s
college students will be tomorrow’s voters and eventu
ally tomorrow’s leaders. Will they wait for prosperity
to appear around tho corner, or will they make an in
telligent and directed effort to aid in bettering con
ditions which cannot reasonably be justified?
CAMPUSEER
BY HIMSELF '
Wlhat with depression and a yen to earn an honest
nickel now and then, there are plenty of student sales-
men about the campus. Which is all very good. But
when faculty members take advantage of unsuspect-
ing alumni, it’s time to call a halt.
Bill Cox paid a visit to the Alma Mater this week,
and in tho course of renewing acquaintanceships, ran
afoul of Galbraith. Net result: Bill departed yes-
terday with a copy of TUcrc Our Moderns tucked away
in his Gladstone and the consolation that he won’t
have to buy back copies of The New Yorker or Vanity

Wils -Pollack, Phi Psi, and frater Hahn auto
mobiled to Tyrone the other night. On the return
trip Bro Hahn decided that Wils looked enough like
him for one license to do double duty. All went well
for the Pollack lad until a headlight ceased to glow
and a cycle-riding blue coat forced a halt in order to
interrogate. Pollack must have lacked elan. At any
rate patrolman asked to see his driver's card. Pol
lack handed over the Hahn-owned permit and pre
pared for the great impersonation.
“Name?” the motorist’s menace flashed his light
on the card.
“Harry Hahn,” replied the intrepid Wils. /
“Residence?”
“Why-uhh-Homestead.” This triumphantly.
The patrolman, about to give up, suddenly turn
ed and queried, “What’s the street address on the
card?”
One of those things called a “grim silence”
ensued.
•Following the pause, both the’ erring lads were
sweetly informed that fifty iron men apiece would
square their differences with God and the govern
ment.
♦Tho, aftermath was even worse. Hahn, discover
ing that ho could save several pennies by riding home
for one buck if-he skipped proceedings a few days
later, decided to pay up and go home and tell mother
all abo.ut it. Like a law-abiding citizen, he forwarded
his fifty and left for Homesteads Pollack, not too
anxious to notify the folks, stayed for the trial and
was absolved of the fine. Hahn is now going around
like a shunt motor in a broken field, for in addition
to his fifty he has..been requested to pay the usual
fee for failure to appear at the trial.
About Town and Campus .... We couldn't decide
whether the gentleman who did the sneezing was for
Thomas or for Sargent Tuesday night.... Spring is
here .... And with it a lonesome feeling for that
girl back home .... Who was the co-ed who cast
sour grapes at all-Collegc dance imports in a public
speaking class last week? .... And did YOU give
Nicholson or Moser a vote for the most attractive
co-ed ? .... The more we write the more we appreciate
the ex-Campuseer .... Grcgo acting the part with
new military boots .... According to Saccharine
Manukas, this Greek letter fraternity stuff is not so
much .... he’s pure Greek, and the only fraternity
he belongs to is Graham’s A. C We’ll be seein’
