THIS ISSUE 4Uanaging Editor ____-______ in: j py :Editor —___------- "Vows Editor ----- •Gports Editor "The Freshman Incident" For a long time the question of freshman orien tation and customs has been pushed aside by the 'upperclassmen of the College. However, this week st beam of light once again spotlighted "the S.reshman incident" Students have wondered in the past if fresh +llan orientation was being conducted in the best ,tiossible manner and whether the present cus 4,oans for incoming freshmen were serving their intended purposes. -T.,ast week Tribunal gave the first semester men nu "frost' bluebook" on the condition that customs would be removed if the results were favorable. As the grades indicated, only 17 students out of the entire class passed the examination which dealt with material in the Student Handbook. anmediately the aroused judicial body issued an •order which restored all customs for men. Rerhaps the freshmen didn't do as well as 'might be expected. However, The Collegian be 4ieves it was an unwise act on the part of Tri ißmal ti command the restoration of "all" fresh :man customs. Instead, the continuance of "some" , of the customs. would have been enough punish 4nent for the men—some of Whom may- never re inrn to the campus after they enter the--service. Those first semester students who rebelled against the ruling and refused to wear customs were as wrong as criminals who refuse to obey jaws set down by the • government Tribunal is the supreme 'judicial body for men students on the campus and has. the power to recommend the expulsion of any male student from the college. The freshmen have a class president who rep resents their semester and reflects their views. 'Tuesday evening - he entered a formal protest to .411 -College Cabinet to investigate the matter. A -committee was appointed to look into the matter and make a report on its findings next week. - Until the report of this committee is made and Cabinet acts on the matter, it is the duty of every freshman to obey like laws of the campus. If freshmen do not observe customs, The Col legian suggests that Tribunal recommends every .such student to the proper officials for expulsion from the College. Blood Typing Service Plans are now underway to have the blood of all the students typed at the College Dispensary in the near future. The entire student body is asked to respond when the different semesters are scheduled for. registratoin. Although blood typing may seem like a very unimportant matter at the present time, some .day it may help save the life of a fellow Ameri can in desperate need of a transfusion. There is no charge for the service. The typing !process only requires a few minutes. Why not -cooperate and make the drive a 100 per cent success? Registration for first and eighth semes ter students begins Thursday. Memorial Day Program This is a• note to the student body, faculty, and townspeople On May 30 the All-College Cabinet is staging Memorial Day services at New Beaver Field. Everyone is invited to attend the ceremonies. Be cause of its nearness•:to V-JE Day, the program will have an added,significance. If you are in State College, won't you attend the • services? Freshman customs are on again! • For ten weeks men students have worn green dinks and observed customs this semester. "Why so long?" is the question on everyone's lips. About three weeks ago Tribunal Head Guy Newton announced a mass meeting for all freshman men on Old Main . steps at 1 p.m. All hatmen were requested to attend. One o'clock came and the freshmen came. A Parmi Nous and a fe Druids came, but sen ior hatmen and Newton didn't show up at this supposed "custom removal" rally. The Parmi Nous conducted a song fest and sent the frosh on their way. Seems as though Policeman Newton decid ed customs hadn't been worn long enough. The consensus is that on ly women have the privilege of changing their minds! Then came the 42 average in the frosh bluebook. Maybe the privilege should be extended to men! Louis Bell With the confirmation that a Naval ROTC unit will •be estab lished on :campus came the ru mor that WAVES would also ar rive. The students reaction to this possibility: Coeds are disgusted.

A Lean And Hungry Look Soon after I came to the College as a fresh- man I learned how to read. The first pamphlet I' read was Dean Arthur R. Warnock's excellent "A Brief History of The Pennsylvania State Col lege For Freshmen." I have since been grateful to the Dean, on many an occasion, for the fund of useful and interesting information contained • in his booklet. On page 11 of this history I found, concern ing the late President Atherton, the words, "When , he died in 1996 his body was buried on the campus in a grave close beside the north wall of • the Schwab Auditorium—a grave marked by a modest tombstone and decorated annually on Memorial Day by succeeding generations of stun dents." Now lam no more suspicious than the next, . man, therefore, I walked up to Schwab and looked at the granite memorial the Class of 1909 had erected to George W. Atherton, LL.D., June 20, 183'7-July 24, 1906. That should have settled :• it—the apparently was buried there. As a freshman, this knowledge saved me a, *.; good deal of grief. - Whenever a haimen would s. saunter up to me, spit out the remains of a, toe nail and "demand, "Whez da only grave on cam- ss?, pus?" I could tell him. '1 s Later in my college career, I had occasion to ask Prof. W. F. Dunaway, the College Histor- Fan, about the grave. As far as he knew, he said, President. Atherton is buried near Schwab. And: there is very little about the College Prcof a esior Dunaway_ does not' know. However, I must confess that in spite of the evidence, I was not entirely convinced that,' the grave is authentic. I told' my suspicions to a professor of philosophy, but he was not much help. He looked scornfully.at me and said, There is no telling how long I would have = . lived in uncertsaifbty if it were not. for a fortUn.•::: ' ate occurrence. One dark, overcast night l:ast weeks I was in the Pine Hall Cemetery outside of town for two medical students. What' I ,was doing there is nobody's business. As my dimmed-out light flickered Sgainst_,L , a tombstone I saw something that_ caused me to s's's ' drop •my shovel. It was obvious that no one would take my word for it Therefore returned the very next afternoon with M . r ? ,: William Clark, the well known automobile.driVert and • Mr. James Casey, to witness my the Pine- Hall Cemetery there, is a grave•-Stone4 , Ulpon which is 'lettered; "George WashingtorrAti i fit; - erton, 1837-1906." s' Now, I am makings no ,accusations. not calling "fraud;" or "hoax," or "phoney."-•,-; - :i: 1 do say, however, that he .is •not buried in.sbdthi t , 4 places.
