Harry Specializes
In Spectacular
Grid Play
(Another in a series of persona
fly sketches on members of the 1937
Lion yrid squad.)
On the left hand side of Bob Hig
gins' balance sheet will be found the
name of Harry Harrison listed under .
current assets. One can't forget the
thrill that his 94-yard touchdown
sprint on the second half kickoff gave
the Lion supporters at the Penn game
last year: For three years, while
harry played for the West Philly
High Speedboys, the columns of the
city papers were crammed with his
achievements. He was always win
ning games in the fading moments.
When West Philly played Southern
for the championship one year, Harry
took a punt on his 15-yard line and
raced 85 yards to give his team a 7-0
victory in the -closing minutes. He
played with Harvey Beahm in high
school. Now Harvey is his roommate
at the D. U. house . .. his hair isn't
cut short, lie says, he's going bald ...
works best under pressure and is a
great money player . wants to run
a summer 'camp next year in Blaine
with Lee Thorne, another high school
teammate rind also a DAL . . . Hig
gins' says he is one of his most mod
est players . . . he can't see why the
boys play bridge when pinochle is
such a good game . . . went to Brown
Prep to get in condition for college—
scholastically . . . has been thinking
seriously of marriage for some time
. has had her picked out since his
high school days ... only time he was
ever knocked out was after the game
was over . the persons in charge
made the mistake of putting the two
teams in the same dressing room . . .
a fight ensued and a Simon Gratz
player dropped Harry with a water
bucket .. .

Radios, Week-end Trips Are Rgsponsible
For Uniform American College Student
(Continued from pageone)
dress, dancing, and dating, football
behavior, classroom practices all
have become highly conventionalized ;
throughout the undergraduate world,:
at Siwdsh as at Harvard.
The writer remembers his under
graduate, years in a middle wok
down-state college—no radio, scanty
newspaper coverage of college , world,
feW automobiles, fewer hard-surfaced
roads, no jazz bands, few movies, few
style ads, few sensational magazines.
Early in December we literally dug in
for the winter, and lived in small
' town seclusion until April. 'Under
( such conditions—common then among
colleges—local peculiarities 'come in
to being.
... . •
Now college students all over the
land listen to the same radio pro
grams and phonograph records, see
the same movies, read the same sen
sation-loving magazines, seethe same
style advertisements, and follow cur
rent affairs in the same news-service
reports. All that has made for stand
ardization through eye and ear. But
also, present-day college students
travel about more, thanks
_to the au
' tomobile and the hitchhiker's thumb.
They follow the athletic teams—to
other campuses and, at least once a
season, to some metropolitan center.
They attend national fraternity con
ventions and other kinds of student
conclaves. They , are on the go so
much that week-end absenteeism has
become a campus probleni in most col
leges. This kind-of travelling makes
for standardization too. •
Of course there are sonic funda
mental peculiarities of sonic colleges
' that cannot be standardized out of ex
istence—peculiarities growing out of
location mainly. City colleges and un
iversities will always be somewhat
different from colleges located in the
. hills, like Dartmouth and Penn State.
I Harvard, Yale, and Princeton have
1 distinctive characteristics which, like
i the ivy vines that-cover their old
buildings, take a long time to grow.
!The Old South will long keep its iden
tifying marks on southern colleges.
But, take them by and large, student
bodies have become highly convention
alized and standardized throughout
the nation.
The disappearance of campus pc,
euliarities, though often distressing to .
old grads, is not particularly •import
ant in itself. English composition is
I English composition, whether studied
!in peg-top trousers or modernistic
islasks. Rumor• has it that various
!parts of the country add two and two
together with varying results, but on
college campuses calculus is caluculus
I (dammit!) from Maine to California.
j Campus customs vary more than pro
and textbooks do.
There is significance, however, in
the reason why why campus peculiar
ities have so largely disappeared. For
1 the same factors and agencies which
have brought campuses closer togeth
;er have also brought the campus
!world closer-to the world outSide, , :fki•

THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN
the day-by-day life of the nation than
was the case when George Fitch was
writing hiS "Siwash!' stories. ThiS
is a fact of major significance.
In the courses of study, particular
ly in the technical and scientific cours
es, classrooms ant laboratories are
figuratively only aross the street from
business and industry. In the social
sciences the daily lessons are taken
partly out of textbooks and partly
out of daily newsimpers. SO it goes
throughout the several curricula.
In student attitudes and mental
approaches . the connection with the
outside world is about as close as the
radio can make it; that is, student'
bodies today are literally cross sec
tions of the country's population, with,
all the virtues and defects implied in
such similarity. It is no longer pos
sible to view student bodies as queer
and set off from the rest of the peo
ple.
•
And notably in the guiding purpos
es and of the colleges them
selves there is a closer correlation of
effort and objective—not only us
among themselves, but also as be
tween themselves and society—than
was the case two decades ago. The
change-over from' campus to job for
the student is easier; and also the
change-over-from a professorial chair
to an important place in business, in
dustry, or government is easier. In
short, the forces which have helped
to relieve incoming freshmen from
hazing annoyances have 'helped to
make far more significant' changes on
the American college campuses.
