FASCISM SWAGGERS ON
Last week eighty Vassar girls so far removed them
selves from the lethargy which affects college under
gradates, whenever economic or social problems are
under discussion, as to go to Albany to protest against
the passage of a bill. That bill, they pointed out, was
un-American in every sense of the word, It, sponsored
by two loyal Americans, Nunan and Devaney, of the .
New York State Legislature, proposed to require an
oath of restrictive allegiance to the Constitution of
every New York college undergraduate.
Aimed directly at the leftist elements of N. Y. U.
and C. C. N. Y., the bill is one of the finest little clamps
on academic freedom we have heard of in a long time. r
Wednesday's editions of the Hearst press carried con
gratulatory stories that the bill had passed. That's nice.
Also nice is the fact that at this moment in. the
Pennsylvania legislature there is a bill proposing the
same oath as a tcachMg : trifiremmlftllpigh schools
and colleges whiiii*!;il:eo : 4l4tiii,V:il'„flii State. To

HEARST PAPERS MONDAY carried a story of
an InteiTiglegjate! OrganiSation , of ,Ame ' riru;' 2404000`p
strong. Its purpose is to campaign against radical
groups seeking control of student - organizations "in - '
American colleges. Perhaps this meant little to peo
ple; certainly most Penn State readers are only too
conscious of Hearst's continued efforts to scare a few
scattered Reds into their vicious Russian den s .
Unfortunately, there are too many who believe this
tripe, and the larger the number that swallow his bunk,
the greater the glee of good Mr. Hearst as he con
tinues to lay the foundations for the complete suppres
sion of thought in this country.
ON THE CUT SURVEY
In an attempt to discover what the heads of the
various departments in this College thought about the
system of cutting classes, Student Board took a poll
which covered the entire faculty. It is very significant
that returns from some schools were large and from
others they were almost negligible. It is also signific
ant that the attitudes of the various departments were
so varied.
Some are liberal in their statements. Others feel
that the College student should be treated like the high'
school• or grade school child and be told that if he cuts
class he must necessarily "bring an excuse from home"
in order to plum himself in good standing again.
Punishment for not attending classes is inconsist
ent with the declarations of many prominent educa
tors who believe college students, provided they are
really students, need no incentive to attend classes other
than their own desire for knowledge and their inherent
curiosity.
College, educators hold, should develop' in. a man or
woman, a sense of responsibility, and if a person is in
capable of assuming the responsibilities that a college
throws on him, he shouldn't be in college. The man
who wantonly cuts classes and the professors who re
sort to high school principles of punishment for that
offense also should not be in. college. Weaklings of
this sort will not benefit by the varieties of pamper
ing embodied in collegiate rulings on cutting or on any
other subject.
If a man hasn't the desire or the initiative to ap
ply himself, compulsory attendance rules won't be worth
the paper on which they arc written.
Cut rules favor the lazy student. They are not
fair. Whether the student loafs, or works is his busi ,
mess and he should be allowed to run that business as
he sees fit with suggestions only, from those who are in•
a position to advise. In the long run,' the student be
comes responsible to, himself and that is the ultimate
end of any educational institution.

DON'T LET ON
The Thespian rehearsal was stymied momen
tarily because one of the dance routines was shy a
couple of male Participants. Sock was as earnest as
Usual abani filling•in somehow or other and was cast
ing his eye ahout in search of someone to step in for
a time. He was interrupted by the author of the
show, Johnny Naylor, who got out of his seat, wander
ed upon the stage clutching a book, and, somewhat
to everybody's surprise, went through the routine
pretty passably although he insisted on giving the
business a literary flavor by refusing to drop his
book throughout the performance. Poetic' license, or
something, we' suppose.
;I.SOLEFUT, §TQRY„
Announcing the
"Heard-in-a -Corner-
Room-Booth" Contest
Here's your opportunity to win a dollar with , no
strings attached!
There are plenty of wise-cracks passed in the
Corner, we understand, and we've decided to give the
funny men a chance to cash in on them.
By wise-cracks we mean anything which gets a
laugh from the group in a booth and which you
think might amuse others.
For everyone published in. this space, a check
for a dollar will he mailed 'to the person who sends it.
The rules are simple:
1. We reserve the right to. decide which should' be
published and which should not. (You can't. blame
us for that.)
2. Wise-cracks need not be about the Corner itself.
although we'll admit we might be partial if it
would make a good advertisement for us.,
3. Names of the persons submitting the wise-crack
will he published or not published, depending on.
the wish , of the entrant.
A. If names of persons are involved, we expect to
get in touch with them to obtain their permis
sion for publication. So don't be catty
,in• your
wise-cracks.
'he Contest Starts Right Now!
Hero's a chance to win a dollar in doe& Amer
ican money. Sorry, but Collegian men and' employes
of the - Corner aren't eligible.
' Oh, yes. leave your entries in writing with the
Corner cashier.
