An account of the incident and the individuals involved were brought before the proper College authorities, and reliable consideration was practis ed on the whole matter. The decision was indis putable, and the reborn pioneers of . collegiate hazing realized their positions. The case was clos ed. But there was an unsuspected, inevitable af termath of the tonsorial pranksters' exhibition. It brought to the familiar light the uncooperation of upperclassmen in preserving that Penn State spirit freshmen hear so much about during their first few days at Penn State. Freshmen will al ways display their mischievous abilities with the anticipation that upperclassmen might be hot on their proverbial tails. And their tails have wagged—no one has both ered to step ori. them. There should be more dog fights. But they should be authoritative, justifi able tussles displaying common sense. If upper classmen would cooperate with Tribunal, war would not be an excuse for lack of interest" in collegiate spirit. Freshmen should be made to realize the mean ing of customs. The only way this could be ac complished is by enforcement of customs. Upper classmen should understand that customs are natural, instructive elements in the life of .a freshman. Enforcement necessitates aid from each and every upperclassman. It's quite strange how one hears freshmen ex claim their intentions of bearing down on the class following them. And when the time comes, it is discovered they have no time to bother fulfilling their promises. They sit back, and then marvel disgustingly at the audacity of students who take matters into their•own hands and shave people's heads. Such affairs could be intelligently prevent ed by the student body. The Druid affair was a result of negligence on the part of upperclassmen who will not partici pate in the normal activities of college students. Customs round out collegian life. Without cus toms Penn State becomes an educational institu tion without that special deviation from books and classes. The green dinks, black bow.ties and white socks mean, or at least should mean, something extra to deal with for the freshman. It gives him a type of responsibility which might prove beneficial to the first year student. Quite a number of these newcomers to Penn State consider their obliga tions and stroll around campus with their frosh bibles and matches. They accept their customs as part of a new experience which helps mold them into men. Then there are the few defiant freshman who grin with conceited mockery at something which might boost their chances of contributing to a better Penn State. This is where upperclassmen should exercise the rights they have been given. Violators of freshman customs reveal their possibilities of unfitness to grasp the opportuniti es they have been privileged to realize. The up_ perclassmen should disseminate class spirit, make the freshmen sing, re-enact familiar scenes at 'the Corner, show ; them what customs stand for, andc , le part Nit a, , .4'e.onSt4te 'nth up ';!,•.(1,7-T)l' I" . 44 4 1 ) • 93., 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111i1111111111111111111111111 Collegiate Review 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 The hundred coeds who responded to a social program poll last week at the University of In diana chose terrace dances as the most favored type of entertainment there. The results of the poll, which was conducted in order to aid in planning the type of parties coeds want, showed that those who voted were interesting in hayriding, off-campus picnics, off campus swimming parties, on-campus picnics and record dances. Zoo Visitor: "Where are .the, monkeys?" Keeper: "They're in the back, making love." Visitor: "Would they come out for some pea nuts?" Keeper: "Would, you?" "We'll have to rehearse that," said the under taker as the coffin fell out of the car. When asked who her favorite pinup boy was one Air-Wac stationed at Amarillo Field, Texas, replied, "Bugs Bunny. I saw him at the show last night and he was. woilderful." "Hello, coach.". . "I though you weren't to drink while iri train_ Mg:" "What makes•you think k that•l've been drinking, coach?" 'l'm not the coach." It was a far cry from the West Virginia hills and a lot different from the Campus on the Monon gahela that many of them knew, but they were all West Virginia mountaineers and that made it right. At the Red Cross Mostyn Club in London„ thirty-four former men from . the University of West Virginia astounded sophisticated Londoners by introducing the genuine mountain square dance.

Dear Julius, • • Well, here I am at Penn State. If you had told me that at my age and ectoplasmic condition I would be going to. college, I would have said that you're nuts. But what's a self• respecting' ghost going to do? I was haunting a big house in Wilkes-Barre, and wear ing myself down to a frazzle haul ing those clanking chains up and down stairs, when I decided that it was _no life for the ghost of a Roman politician to lead. So I came out here to State (hanging on to the tail-light of a Greyhound bus.) I expect to get a line on how they do things in this civilization and then maybe run for Congress. And it is a very strange civilization, indeed. From Monday until Friday the weather is excellent; the sun shines all the time while the stu dents go to class. Then on Fri day evenings all the men call up the coeds for dates and it begins to rain. It rains until Monday morning, when classes start again. The other night I went over to one of these buildings on, campus where they keep the *omen lock ed up at night in order to get some practice haunting. I stopped under a coed's window and let loose my haunting cry, "Awoo. 'Awoo," in the most sepulchral voice I could muster. Far from being frightened, she came chort ling to the window, "Oh, looky, girls, a wolf!" I don't understand thig place. Continuing on my way, I came upon a boy and girl standing der a tree. They were gazing at each other with fond eyes, and every quarter-hour 'they would breath deep Sighs. Suddenly the boy began to speak in a husky, strained voice, "I , want you WI "I can't. It's too "much.". He looked at her as if she were a sirlpin •steak. • `toi,t - must, • it . means so much to me : " I t * . 0 14 : 4 1 ) A e 1tit 0 014400 4 1 )9 , ilarle(Weigliebelrb,ii0 .5 . ; POO: FRIDAY, JUNE 2, .1944' Jack Graham . . . theta phi alplla Peggy Presel and A/S . 8015 TIM*, . . .
