February 4, 1038 SOLVING OF AN EPIDEMIC THE APPARENT SOLVING of the alarming wave of stealing that has swept the College in the past year should he good news to the student lw>dy and a warn- ing that serious crime in State College will he pros ecuted. » The borough officials have done well in the case brought to light this week. Serious, habitual ofTemlctV of the law should lie prosecuted. Pranksters and per- sons committing minor breaches of the peace should he treated leniently. This week’s case has much precedent hut marks a new method of handling serious cases. Cases have come up in the past that have been settled far from satisfactorily because the College interceded. A policy should be set up whereby the ‘College would do all it could for a person in trouble himself, but would not'in terfere when that person has caused serious trouble for his fellow students. Last year a'student was forced to leave college because such an enormous amount of mon ?v was stolen from hi‘m. That a 19-year-old 2.8 student should be In such trouble this week is a serious indictment of local si,biol ogy. It indicates that students isolated >n cubby holes throughout town are not being developed in society. A young man with a 2.8 average has definite-possibilities. Yet over a period of two and one-half years he com mitted by his own admission over 100 thefts. He was a model boy before he came to College. It is an indict ment of the College. It is an indictment of the differ ent social organizations and clubs of tho College that :hc boy in question was not developed socially as well is intellectually. This week’s case indicates that a more accessible stu dent loan fund should be set up whereby promising stu dents could more easily receive financial aid should ihey need it. This loan service could function for worthy athletes as well and solve a good portion of subsidization worries. Efforts should he made to ferret out nn.v additional offenders agrainst the student body, methods should he studied ■whereby "lost in the dark” students can he de veloped, and every effort should he made to make this college town as nearly perfect as possible before the huildinj? program and its worries and problems are A GOOD MOVEMENT THE CURRENT MOVEMENT of those interested in ice hockey and its development as a sport have chos en the correct method to make it possible. Once enough stimulated interest, is aroused, in ice hockey and enough students show that they are anxious that the College officially adopt it, the College can he assured that they have a legitimate cause in their hands! To accomplish ice hockey on the campus, the surge has to come from the student body. The formation of an ice hockey movement recently is indication that there is an interest. Another sport in a similar state of unofficial approval is skiing. The skiiers have a tougher proposition to consider—the lack of snow. It would appear that the Ice hockey movement will get farther, unless the wea thorlnan mid the skiing enthusiasts get together. The addition of both sports would be a milestone in accomplishing a well-rounded and rapidly-developing College sports program. HECTIC RUSHING NEXT SATURDAY NIGIIT the fraternity women will climax a tedious rushing period by giving two for mal parties. From 0:30 p. m. to 8:30 p. m. they will en tertain one /jronp of freshmen, then prepare for the second party which will he held from 8:30 p. m. to 10:30 p. m. What is the reason for such hectic last-minute rush ing? It is supposed to help undecided freshmen choose between two fraternities. In an extensive seven-week rushing period there is ample time for the freshmen to decide which group they prefer. If there were only one party the rushees would he stimulated to make their de cisions earlier. Surely, the artificial atmosphere of a formal party is no basis on which to judge a fraternity. In attending one formal party the freshmen would know that they would receive a bid front that fratern ity. The fraternities would lose very few bids as they would realize that the women who attended the party naturally expected to join the group. Panhellenic Council could easily prevent unnecessary strain for both freshmen and fraternity women by lim iting each house to one formnl party to be held on Sat urday night. Beware! The Dog!

This letter objected to the use of flash bulbs at the indoor athletic meets. Unfortunately, this | individual who refused to sigh his 'name to his protest has, to my mind, w distorted s vie\v ,on the matter. I wish 'to represent'those persons who are using flash , bulbs and hence to de fend our position. Wo who'are. using this means'of taking pictures* are'not doing so for selfish reasons. The average flash pic ture means an, uncertain outlay of about 50 cents. Our main reason for doing so is to provide the press with pictorial news of Penn State. We do iv.it receive renumorntion above the* actual cost of the picture; hence, we feel that'we are performing a serv ice lo Penn State, in the form of pub licity.

The hiss ing can easily be overlooked, but does the critic tyke into consideration that we spend half the night' developing these pictures so that they may be in the hands of the press early?* Does the critic realize that we must invest a considerable sum without any assurance of retu'rn?.

Athletes and coaches were consulted and not a single objection was encountered. A- careful observer of our methods would surely notice that we never flnsh a bulb at a- stra tegic moment ’during a contest. We have absolutely no intention of hin dering our athletes or our opponents. 'We sincerely believe that we are performing a service to Penn State.

Very truly yours, RALPH I. COHEN To the Editor: ' ' “A Penn State Student" claims that photo-flash lamps constitute a major menace to Penn State athletes. Speaking for his fellow students, he requests that the privilege of photo graphing indoor., athletic events be denied on the grounds that it is an-, noying to spectators and distracting to contestants., ' I believe that he' is making on issue where there is .none.' Contrary to the statement which he made in his letter, most students whom I have spoken to are not.dis-. turbed by an occasional flash. The hissing which usually , accompanies each lamp is not a rebuke to the pho tographer, but merely a traditional outlet for restrained emotions. -It is R. F. STEIN MOTOR CO. 121 S. nURROWES ST.
