THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Set Of Customs For Incoming Frosh
Seven-Man Board
For Enforcement
Seven grisly upperclassmen,
following in the footsteps of gen
erations of brow-beating prede
cessors, will mete out “justice” to
be-dinked violators of freshman
customs this year.
Under the leadership of Chief
Justice W. Lewis Corbin ’4l who
served with .. last year’s extra
toygh board, the seven justices
will sit in their rooms at 305 Old
Main and hear freshmen plead
their cases.
For customs violators the pen
alties are more .varied than the
crimes, but samples from , last year
indicate what is in store:
Dresses for violators of the dat
ing codes, ..skis for freshmen who
dare to walk, on'the grass, a suit
case or a traveling bag for the
freshman to carry the Handbook
lie forgot, and any number of in
genious signs, for. freshmen who
forget the 18 rules Tribunal has
presented for their “education.”
(Editor’s note:—A word to the
wise is sufficient, gentle freshman.
Tribunal particularly likes to
have freshman violators parade
before the audiences at football
games and mass meetings.)
Lest the emphasis be placed too
heavily on Tribunal’s enforcement
of freshman customs, it should be
said here that the seven justices
are in reality a judiciary body oc
cupying a position similar to that
of the'Supreme Court in the fed
eral government. They are em
powered to handle all cases of
student discipline and, with the
support of the Dean of Men, can
mete out"' penalties as severe as
expulsion from College.
One vacancy exists on the sev
en-man Tribunal, created by the
withdrawal: of Edgar V. Hall, ’4l,
who, because of the death of his
mother, will not return to Penn
State this year. The six return
ing members are W. Lewis Cor
bin : ’4l- (chairman), Thomas M.

Twenty, years may or may not
be a long time. The fellows who
were Pehn State freshmen in 1920
for the most part aren’t old enough
to have sons .in college. They
wouldn’t think it was long.
The fellows who are Penn State
freshmen in 1940 can be satisfied
that it is long enough.
The Students’ Handbook for
1920-21 reveals that there were 31
customs for Joe Freshmen to ob
serve that year instead of 18 as
this year. .
All "the 1940 • customs were in
effect then except for those requir
ing frosh to carry a copy of the
Student Handbook, the' “Button,
Frosh” coinmand, and the require
ment that know the current
moyief;; Instead; of being forced
to •'use-- the front entrance of Old
Main, however, "freshmen, were
forbidden to use it.
In addition, the' 1920-21 students
learned that the privilege of going
bareheaded was limited to seniors,
only seniors and alumni were al
lowed on the senior ■ benches,
freshmen were required to remain
chapel until all others had • left,
both sophomores and freshmen
were required to wear coats, fresh
men were not allowed to wear the
College colors during the first
semester, freshmen were forbidden
to talk back to upperclassmen,
frosh were forbidden to, wear in
signia from high schools or prep
aratory schools, freshmen were
forbidden to enter pool rooms,
cadet uniforms had to be kept
buttoned at all times, freshmen
were forbidden to loiter on Allen
Street between College and Beaver
Avenues, and freshmen were re
quired to keep their coats buttoned
when in public.
Carr ’4l, Jacob Hay ’4l, Oscar
Kranich '4l, George L. Parrish
’4l, and Raymond K. Leffler ’42.
Leffler will automatically succeed
to the chairmanship of the board
in 1941-42.

If these were not enough .for
Joe Frosh to. remember there were
several others to keep him busy;
The • sophomore ■ class was allowed
to issue one proclamation a year,
the freshmen none. If the frosh
defeated the sophomores in the
interclass football game they,
would be allowed to carry canes
but only for the remainder of the
same day. The frosh arid frosh
'alone were allowed to paint their
class numerals but it had to be
on the Armory roof on the Satur
day night before Baccalaureate
Sunday. The privilege of “adorn
ing their faces with hair growths’!
was limited to the three upper
classes. Student Council was em
powered to designate a “Clean-up
Day” on which the freshmen at
direction of the sophomores were
“to clean up such parts of College
property as are deemed necessary.”
The Daily Cardirial, University
of Wisconsin publication, recently
noted its 48th ariniversary.
