Thursday, September 9, 1937 FORMING FRIENDSHIPS REPUTEDLY TUE primary purpose of a col lege cdmiation is scholarly achievemjmt,• lout there are a goad many other things that' fall in to a category of attainment that highly are important when it comes to putting scholarly achievement into One of the, primary problems facing freshmen as they enter Penn State is one of 5112101 happiness. There are too many people each Tall, who not•wishing to join fraternities for te-ions reasons, find it difficult to pick and maintain friendships from a group of 5,600 stu dents. Many of the school's most able scholars ore in this group. Non-fraternity scholarship averages have been consistently .above fraternity averages for many Inability to join a fraternity and isolated living quarters have forced many of this group to go through four years of college with few or no friends and the realization that few if any. people on the campus know who they are To remedy this there are hundreds of .activities and clubs on the campus whose prime. purpose is to create and cement companionship and friendship. These clubs are looking fcr members from each new fresh man class, .and many times have suffered enrollment embarrassment because few, peopleltnew of their exist-. Science clubs, literary groups, publications, athlet ics, photography, religious work, are a few subjects that are covered by these clubs. There is an organiza tion at Penn State for each of every interest on hobby that any individual might have. The Penn State Club non-fraternity men, and Philotes, for non-fraternity women, are leading examples o t f clubs famed' purely for the purpose of relaxation and entertainment. It would be well for each student' entering as a freshman to inquire and learn of all the activities, an swering their calls when they arc issued in the col umns of the Collegian. Anything to avoid spending dull evening after (lull evening C.:l the upper floor of some remote boarding house is desirable. Such social contacts will make for greater happiness. They will lessen academic grind ing, and will actually improve scholarship in many in stances. There is cne thing certain—academic, achievement united with social experience and the ability to get along with people will carry the individual much far ther than academic knowledge alone can ever hope to. The Collegian urges each freshman to find some thing to do, to meet as many .people as he can,-and to utilize the various clubs and organizations that were expressly created to make his college education a fulls er and more . worthwhile experience. pENN STATE SPIRIT and good sportsmanship have played an important part in the forming of Penn State greatness Lately there has been a feeling in many circles that spirit and sportsmanship here have been declining and that the -general result has been . detrimental to Penn State and its students. The realization of how to treat the problem is clear. It must begin with the freshman. It must begin with customs. Observance of customs and rigid enforce ment of their provisions is indicated. Freshmen must realize that customs will form com radeship and class unity. They must realize that there will be penalties, administered by a new, invigorated student. tribunal, for those who refuse to cooperate Experience has taught that customs arc beneficial and necessary factors in promoting good spirit and sportsmanship, the presence of which is desirable not only in college but throughout life. ABOUT FRESHMAN WEEK FRESHMEN WILL do well to keep, in mind that the Freshman Week .program was., instituted for their especial benefit. They should realize that many .per sons are spending a great deal of time and expending a great deal of hard work to make the.week a big,aid in orienting them. • They should show their appreciation by-attending all the, meetings and special programs' that have been OLD MANIA :Most Quoted.- Penn-State:-Expression: Head football coach Bob Higgins, 1930-31.732-33-34 35-3637: "This is the year."
