BLICHFELDT '34 Women's News Editor THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1933 "PRACTICE WHAT YOU When anyone on this campus speaks against ath letic subsidization it is taken more or less as a matter or:course. But when a man like "Pop" Warner speaks against it, as he did in a recent magazine article, it is either a laughing matter era welcome conversion. Strange as it may seem, Temple's $20,000-a -year coach speaks up against 'huge stadiums, commercializa tion of football, subsidizing of players, and high priced coaching staffs. He admits that "almost any coach with proper financial aid could build up an ag gregation of stars that could wallop any legitimate college team in the country, but there is no sport in such a lopsided arrangement." He added, ". .. when the colleges themselves, or their athletic departments, try to grant free tuition or board and room or provide jobs in which the star athlete is paid more than his services are worth, that is making business of athletics and is going too far." • "Pop's" new credo, it seems, is embodied in these words: "I -believe that if all of the universities were to get together and live up to a code embodying an agreement that they would not recruit athletes for their teams, their games as a whole would be just as inter esting. In fact, I think they would be more interesting if the. squads were made up of the ordinary run of students, because the teams would be more evenly matched, would have a better spirit and be more truly representative of their institutions." He then proposes a code for football's New Deal, in which he outlaws all those practices that he denounces earlier in the article. Although "Pop's" sincerety might be questioned, it is at least encouraging to see a man in his position giving lip-service to such advanced ideals. All that re mains now is for the university he represents, and others like it, to put those ideals into practice. Penn State did in 1927, THE WRITER OF a letter published in the Letter Box, this issue, risked the COLLEGIAN to answer sev eral questions about the athletic situation here. There are probably many other students who are puzzled as to rumors about a return to subsidization. In view of this fact, the COLLEGIAN will publish an article on the entire situation as soon as it is available. Until that time, which should be within two weeks, it is sufficient to say that accusations of a return to athletic subsidization here have no basis in fact. PREPAREDNESS An event which wab alinost completely ignored by the metropolitan press was the United Congress Against War held in New York City recently. Over two hundred college students attended the congress. Of course, such gatherings are un-American and smack of Russia, so more respectable news was printed. Nerertheless, the congress attempted to register its feble protest against what seems to be a trend in the opposite direction.. In the midst of all this talk about more prepared ness and possible wars, the conclusions reached recently by an historian of the World War are significant. In his book "Beginning the Twentieth Century" published early this month, Prof. Joseph Ward Swain says; "Today we see more clearly. . . that it was really armament and the doctrine of preparedness which drove Europe to war. The only answer which statesmen could find to preparedness and the resulting hysteria was more preparedness, more nervousness, more sus picion, more fear and more hysteria—until at last they had a war" In the light of such an opinion, it is difficult to justify even so relatively a sinQl factor in-the total national defense as the R. 0. T. C. As this paper has stated before, the tendency of the R. 0. T. C. is certainly not to prevent war and its acceptance by the populace. And in addition to the militarism argument, What is more out of date than compulsory drill in an educational institution? • ONE OF THE BEST features about the re-or ganized Student Tribunal is the complete absence of politics, if Monday night's meeting is any indication of what is to come. Two freshman who appeared be fore the Tribunal were fraternity pledge-brothers of two men on the Tribunal. In the past, this has usually been sufficient reason for the offender to be excused from any punishment. Not so this year, however. Those two freshmen received the same punishment as any other customs-breaker does. FurthermOre, the fact that a non-fraternity freshman received a lighter sentence than others who were pledged to fraternities, points to the death of the old favoritism for frate'rnity freshmen. The entire meeting, moreover, was conducted in a solemn, dignified manner. None of the old hazing and humiliation was present. If this is to be the policy of the Tribunal for the rest of the year, then certainly it will retrieve a great deal of the prestige that it lost in the days of horseplay and third-degree methods. CAMPUSEER I=l We don't believe it either but it's true. The boys in a sophomore gym class had an important visitor the other day;, the most important in years. A pretty transfer from one of our larger feminine institutions reported for action in the men's locker room and was right hurt about it when they wouldn't let her play athlete with the lads, and sent her down to Miss This seems particularly significant to 115. It shows that the girls, even the newcomers, are becom- ing play-conscious ... they want real, he-man exer cise. Penn State is prepared for such enthusiasm among its male under-graduates. Its extensive Intramural Program welcomes and encourages all who are in search of the liody-beautiful, or healthy relaxation. Now the women want their chance Wouldn't it be a good idea to ,give them such a chance? It might even arouse more c . nthuiiasm, more nerve, in everyone if one gigantic proiram were de veloped which would include the feminine element. Lacrosse and field hockey for instance could easill , be combined, or football and the Greek dance. Well, it's a suggestion anyway. These Theta XI boys are Persistent. Reee'ntly some of the town urchins were having fun ring ing that House's doorbell. A gentleman by the name of Hunt came to the door and requested them in it nice way to cease. lie was dressed in an immaculate linen suit and the kids evidently thought him effemin ate for they refused . . . emphatically. Becoming incensed, he gave chase. One of the gamins (like that?) picked up a handful of mud and threatened him with it, saying, "G'wan back or I'll let you have it!" He kept on, so he got it, mud in his eye and then some. He kept on chaSing 'and another one of the offenders yelled, "G'wan back or I'll heave a brick through the windoiv." But Ms. Hunt was persistent. Now they've a busted window. • 1111o . ra1: Don't fool with the yolinger set;• they mein what they say.

It It true that twenty members of the freshman football squad have fra ternity athletic scholarships? Is it true that the captains of two of Penn State athletic teams have alumni athletic scholarships? Can Penn' State rightfully boast that the members of its athletic tennis play for no compensation whatever? Or can Penn State boast only that the College itself does not give men money for playing on its athletic tennis? Are these rumors only common gos sip with no truth backing them up? Are they just the expressed doubts of suspicious souls? Can the COLLEGIAN through its ed itorial column truthfully answer these questions? —J. K.
