Page Four Hiking Routes Abound In Nearby Mountains Students Interested in outdoor rec reation and hiking have splendid op portunities to take advantage of nu merous mountains and trails which lie within a few miles of State Col lege. Probably the most popular hike is the one to Shingletown Gap, only four miles south of town. It is here that the reservoir on which State College relies for a portion of its water sup ply is located. Excellent views of State College lying in the Nittany valley can be obtained by climbing the sides of the gap. Three miles beyond Shingletown is Bald Top, a treeless, steep mountain 2,300 feet in height. From its peak, a view of many miles of mountains and country is afforded. It can also be reached from Boalsburg, which is WELCOMES CLASS OF ’3B SCHILLING THE LOCKSMITH 109 S.

To the west of Shingletown Gap is Musser’s Gap. From this gap, a trail leads between the first and second mountains to Shingletown. The gap can also be reached by following the top of the first mountain. One of the more interesting and longer hikes is the one to Bear Mead ows, a swampy region in the valley of the fourth ridge of mountains south of State College. Here are found many rare plants and animals. The Meadows can be reached by pass ing through Wright’s Gap, east of Shingletown. About six and a half miles by the State road from State College is lo cated Pine Grove Mills, which is so called because formerly two mills in a white pine grove were situated there. By passing through a gap in the mountains above the village, and climbing the second ridge, the hiker can obtain an excellent view on a clear day. A new road to the top of the mountain mikes climbing easy. About two miles farther, the road crosses Laurel Run which leads to the east and joins with the Bear Mead ows road. About a mile from Laurel Run, Whipple Dam is located, where excellent swimming and camping fa cilities ave found. The most famous mountain is Mount Nittany, in whose shadow nestles the little town of Lemont, about three miles east of State Col lege. From the summit of Nittany, Penn's Valley can be seen running between the Nittany and Seven Mountain ranges and extending into the Nittany Valley between the Bald Eagle range and the Seven Moun tains.

The Board makes recommendations to the Council for the final sanction of that body, and it also has the power to serve as a disciplinary body, making recommendations directly to the Col lege administration. The Student Tribunal, composed of five members selected by the Student Council, has judicial powers in met ing out punishment to freshmen who violate College customs. . As reorgan ized last year, the Tribunal enlists the aid of the campus societies in en forcing freshman customs and pun ishing offenders. The Student Union Board,’consist ing of a representative from each un dergraduate activity, stimulates co operation among the College extra curricular activity groups and in sures, the promotion of pi’ojects too large for an individual group to han dle. The women students at Penn State have their own student governing bodies, known as the Senate and the House of Representatives. The ’ Sen ate formulates all rules and regula tions governing women students, pen alizing as it sees fit all offenders of these regulations. The House of Representatives deals with rules of lesser importance gov erning the women’s dormitories, quiet hour, and the signing out for social privileges, and appoints all'chairmen of social events., This.»group. has.no voice in any of : the actions taken by the Senate, merely making sugges tions to the higher governing body. Students at Penn State elect their class officers each spring at a time designated by Student Council, and at present the men and women stu dents have separate elections, select ing a different set of class officers. An Elections Code for the men’s gov ernment before the elections, and an elections committee appointed • from Student Council conducts the. elec-' tion. A violation of the adopted code, disqualifies any candidate. Campus Honor Societies Perform Triple Function Eight campus honor societies exist for the promotion of the Penn State spirit, for the maintenance of the Penn State honor code,' an<Lfor the preservation of the Penn State tra ditions. The highest honor which an under graduate may attain is election to Lion’s Paw, a senior society. Lion’s Paw was founded in 1907, and has as its purpose the furtherance of the best interests of the College. Membership is limited to fifteen outstanding seniors. The society is not necessarily conspicuous in its ef forts toward advancing the ideals of the College, but seeks to accomplish results by directing and assisting all organizations which are concerned in Welcome Class of 1938 COMFORTABLE ROOMS v COLONIAL • W-.Nittanq . . •»; ttffiSTATECOUEC E.

College Ave. THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN , Customs Mould Activities Of Freshmen on Campus 'College customs at Penn State are practices which have been handed down from class to class since the early years of the College until they have become established traditions. Originating from various sources, these practices have become ingrained in student life and continue with lit tle change from year to year. Prominent among Old Penn State traditions is the custom of exchang ing cordial “Hello’s”, with other stu dents on the campus;' Every student also greets the president of the Col lege in .this manner .with a tip of the hat or civilian salute.. Smoking on the campus is confined to. places outside of classrooms, lab oratories, and Recreation hall. Penn' State men conduct themselves like gentlemen and sportsmen at all ath letic-events,-removing their hats at all indoor meets and standing with bared head during the singing of the Alma Mater at the close of the con test. . The general custom forbidding the •use of seals bearing the College in signia and the • custom forbidding classes to wear caps bearing class'nu merals were both revoked by Student Council in'custom revisions last May. The one additional custom passed at that time requires the - wearing of the complete. R. O. T. C. uniform, including the cap. Amendments -to freshmen customs passed by the Council for this year allow the wearing of a jacket in place of a coat, require the name of the home town rather than that of the preparatory-'school, on name cafds worn during the first two weeks, al low freshmen to associate with la dies within the three-mile limit only at'their own liouse’dances rather than at any house dance, require, two-year agricultural students as well as four year students to' take customs, and excuse all students over twenty-three years of age from customs.' • The customs inaugurated-last year prohibited freshmen from smoking on the- campusT.and- requiring them to carry matches for the use of up perclassmen* will’ be continued.

Athletes, sports managers, and other upper classmen prominent in extra-curricu lar activities are elected to the so cieties, which are ..identified by dis tinguishing hats. . These organizations have as their purposes the promotion of good fel lowship among all. college. men re gavdless of class or fraternity affilia tion, the support of a worthy student enterprises, and the promotion of college spirit. In addition, they seek to correct any tendency toward a disregard for College traditions and : customs. Blue Key, founded in 1923, is a so ciety composed entirely, of members of the. junior class. Its membership is made up of assistant sports manag-. ers, as well as men chosen from other junior activities. Blue Key was organized primarily for welcoming and entertaining rep resentatives of other colleges while they are the guests of Penn State. In addition, the members of the society usher at athletic contests, and at tempt to further the good name of the College in pursuits which will* be of a helpful nature.* Sophomore societies include Druids, founded in 1907, and Friar's,* estab lished in -1912. Their primary pur pose is the maintenance of College customs, especially those pertaining to freshmen. They also' endeavor to foster'and promote .good sportsman ship at athletic contests, and pro mote the general welfare of the Col lege.
