Friday, October 5, 1934 A SUCCESSFUL SEASON Tomorrow, Penn State opens another football sea son, but it should not be a season similar to the ones of the last few years. The time has passed when Lion teams have to bow to almost any opponent that comes along. The manpower and the coaching staff are equal to that of the average college, and certainly should be good enough to cope with any school on this year’s schedule. There has been a change, a revolution in the ap pearance of the athletic plant here. There is a new spirit about New Beaver field. It isn’t a question of spirit about New Beaver field. It isn’t a question as to how many games will be won this year, but rather a question of how badly every opponent will be beaten. And all this necessitates a change in the attitude of the 3tudent body. To embark upon its winning streak, the team must have the support of everyone in the stands. This means that mere attendances of the games is not sufficient. It means rather that men and women .cast aside their veneer of adult sophistication and obey -the cheerlead ers as eagerly as the greenest freshman. There is nothing more destructive to a team’s morale than an apathetic silence descending from the stands. On the other hand, despite what the all knowing Monday morning coach of your fraternity may say, a team can be buoyed up by good support. Students have been asking for a good team here ever since the present athletic policy was inaugurated. This year there is every indication that such a team is in the making. It is up to the students to furnish, through support and enthusiasm, that indefinable some thing which will make this year’s football team the one for which Penn State has patiently waited. ANOTHER STEP IN THE elimination of use less committees and petty graft was taken when Stu dent Board placed -the junior blazers on sale permanent ly. The number sold should increase, as even the most practical minded will admit that a great deal of serv ice can be derived during two years. WITH TIIE ANNOUNCEMENT of the annual football holiday should come a reminder of the origin of this custom. It was introduced by authorities who believed that granting such liberty would reduce the abnormal cutting of classes for two or three days prior to an important game. All this should be re membered when students plan their expedition to Phila delphia next month. WHY CUSTOMS? Before the year advances too far along, it seems there should be some definite understanding concern ing the question of freshman customs. At present, they may well be classed as farces, not from the point of their purpose or limitations, but from the point of view of enforcement. This faulty enforcement cannot be blamed on Student Tribunal, the punitive body which deals with violations. The fault lies with the student body at large. There seems to be no interest whether or not a freshman observes his traditional bounds. This can be traced to several things. In the first place, an increased enrollment has done much to make campus life much more impersonal. With more students here, it becomes difficult to know' everyone, especially by class distinctions. It has been looked up for some time as collegiate and immature to bother if customs arc violated. Penn State men and women are too mature to worry about such chijdish matters. In an effort to remedy matters to some extent, Student Council has removed the restriction concern ing freshmen dating at church functions. Two pos sible reactions will result from this move. The fresh men may appreciate that every effort is being made to irk them as little as possible their first year, or they may look upon this as simply another step toward the total removal of customs. They should respect this additional liberty and make every effort to obey all other regulations. If they do not accept this point of view, there remain two alternatives for the College. Either the sophomores and upperclassmen must see that customs are strictly enforced, or customs must be abolished completely Defore they become completely farcial. axn board JACK A.

Nov. 3 (FB) Diary of a mod ern’s creeps: Slept late and lazed thru shave and shower before setting sail for the Sandwich Shop where we had a light breakfast with comedy by a dowager greeting her long lost palsie-walsie, Myrtle, in a stagy soprano. Came dinner and we moved to a nearby table for small talk with Harry Henderson, Fred Fisher, Snem Herbst, and the Old Main Bell Mogul, James Boyd Watson jr. Notables at other tables included the mustached messrs. Galbraith and Naylor, ex-cadet Williams in unie, and Helen Savard, who just doesn't look the classroom type. Away to afternoon classes where we amused ourselves writing limericks, the best of which was: 0 give this McKee girl a sock In the rump as she goes down the walk With her pan in the air She goes by with a stare; May we ask you, pal, can she talk? After the literary session, to the Corner to re turn the pair of scissors we borrowed last night and talked minor finance to Cameo Wetzel, then home to dress and to the office for a quick column before some tea at ten with Mari. Home late and grumpy to find the alarm clock dead and our wristwatch five hours behind. Tried a bit of Hemingway, muttered something about getting a new bed lamp, then gave way to Morpheus. • Thoughts while dawdling: You never feel quite so forlorn as on a Monday morning trek to an 8 o’clock breakfastless. The most prominent, moniker on the frieze of the South Liberal Arts building: S. WEIR MlTCllEL—always wish I had been born to such nomenclative royalty.

Meandering slowly down College-Avenue, we took a desultory look at the Photo Shop display and were about to turn Cornerwards when we spotted %. sign in front of a house about two doors east. There was an empty flower stand near the front porch and atop it a piece of slate sporting the chalk crawl: WILL PERSON RETURN PLANT FROM HERE AND AVOID TROUBLE—Lives there a man with soul so dead who never to himself has said, ‘I don’t believe in signs?’ The S. P. E.’s are having a snarky time trying to find enough -draperies and such to hide the wall spots where the plaster has fallen away. The hill and dale men playing hound and hare yesterday to the tune of buck-shot bang bangs when a farmer got ired because the hares invaded his field; he actually potted a couple of the hounds. Registrar Hoffman was a bit fuddled by this girl Matilda Port whose name when reversed on the blanks read: Port Ma tilda. A freshman, she was a natural comma-fault er. Incidentally, I'm president of the Comma-fault ers* League myself, Matilda.

Froth’s Brain-child Expires at Bucknell Publication of the Belle Hop, Buck nell’s alleged humorous magazine, has suspended publication temporarily. Because a debt from last year is still on the books, credit cannot bo ob tained, and publication is impossible.

Stoughton and Charles Williamson who were impressed by the Penn State Froth, the comic magazine at Penn State. > “La Rue Bailey, Who was connect ed with the Froth at that time, aided and abetted the’pair in laying plans for the first issues and consequently several Froth characteristics are in corporated in them.

In this way we keep customers and prospective customers informed of our aims, policies and progress. 1 We advertise in order to aid the telephone customer in making the best possible use of his service. As our advertising influences one person after another to use the telephone more effectively, the service rendered every other user is correspondingly improved. We advertise because we have a varied service to sell and by selling more of it we increase its value to each user. Because of the nature of the telephone business, it is our duly to inform the public contin uously of the character and varied kind of service we provide. In line with this broad plan, we find real opportunity in addressing messages to college and university peo ple in their own publications, just as'we also vary our advertising for women’s magazines, farm papers and so on. 1934-35 is', the fifteenth year during which the Bell System has published advertisements which take college, men 1 behind the ; scenes of Bell Telephone service. / College Cut Rate Store BETWEEN THE CORNER AND THE MOVIE Specials for Friday and Saturday Also FREE SAMPLES 50c Kolynos Tooth Paste 27c 25c West Tooth Paste, 17c; 2 for . . . 33c 50c Spearmint Tooth Paste _ . . . . 10c Kotex . . 49c Modess . . 15 c 50c Cleansing Tissues • . . . . . 29c 25’s Probak Jr. Blades . . . . . . 59c _4’s Probak Jr. Blades . . . . 10c New Size Palmolive Shaving Cream. . . . 40e New Size Colgates Shaving Cream . . • . . 40c 50c Jergens Lotion . . . . . . 34c 50c Barbara Joan Hand Lotion 33c 50c Palmolive Shampoo 25c 50c "Woodbury Shampoo . . . . . 29c 50c Vick’s Nose and Thoat Drops . . . 34c Woodbury Soap, 10c; 3 for ■ . . . . 25c 1 pound Prince Albert . . - . . . 73c CIGARS and MAGAZINES nave Been Added to Our Line Friday, October 5, 1934 has been commissioned a first lit tenant in the Army and is now sil atec! in a C.C.C. camp; at Highpoi; N.
