Timid TIM: Time for a Crowd Tonight about 3500 independent men will converge on 217 HUB. What a laugh. The occasion for. the “possible” mob scene in the HUB is a meeting of the Town Independent Men to make preliminary nominations for six representatives at large to represent TIM on the Association of Independent Men’s Board of Governor’s and to discuss the TIM social pro gram. Haven't the TIM officers been shortsighted in reserving such a small room for 3500 con stituents? Not if attendance at TIM meetings proves to be anything like that of last year. In fact, if attendance runs true to last year's form, TIM will be lucky to muster six candi dates for the available positions. Because when it comes to apathy town men have it over everyone, at least in regard to their own organization. TIM is potentially a powerful and influen tial body. It is supposedly a major force in the Association of Independent Men, an organiza tion which has improved itself greatly in re cent years. But today all TIM does for AIM is hold it back. TIM falls miserably short of its purpose and the reason can be traced directly to its own constituents. Its ineffectiveness is a shame and a waste. The group could do so much for the students who evidently don’t care about it. For example. TIM could conceivably make up a price list on rooms available to students in the borough. Such a price list could be used as a supplement to the room list now made Honesty: The Principle For the first time in several years the aca demic policy on cheating has been revised. In the past students have been disregarding regu lations about cheating and enforcement of exist ing rules has been too lax in most cases and too rigid in others. Basically the new cheating regulations deal with the prevention of cheating. Aside from that the academic honesty committee has offi cially defined cheating and specific punish ments have been fixed for offenders who are caught. It is the basic principal of this new policy that we oppose. In an ordinary society, rules are made for those who break them. Everyone is restricted, not because everyone is expected to step out of line, but because a minority of individuals will step out of line. A University community is not an ordinary community, no matter how large it may grow. Social as well as academic standards are not so low that the dregs of society or the scum of the high school graduates have to be ad mitted or retained. If, as the new policy stales, such deliberate steps will be taken to prevent cheating, stu dents apparently are expected to cheat. Who’s the Square? Freshman are traditionally kidded about being over dressed and too prim their first few weeks on campus. But perhaps some of the overly-casual among the upperclassmen, er ronously referred to as ‘collegiate’ could learn a lesson from the scared but neat freshmen. Going to the extreme in dress in either direc tion is poor, but it is unfortunate that the fresh man is always the goat when it comes to criti cism. If an objective onlooker would call ’em just like he saw ’em the unpressed khaki man would probably be just as much a square as the polished buck man. We have to keep in mind that we are con stantly on parade for off-campus visitors. Not only is our appearance a morale factor for all the students, faculty and administration, but we, individually and collectively may raise or lower the University’s name in the eyes of its many visitors. ‘Appropriate dress’ seems to be a phrase that lost its significance way back when the daily shave for college men went out of style.

STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA JACK ALBRECHT, Business Manages available to students by the Dean of Men's office. A price list would save town independ ents a lot of time in finding a room suitable to their needs at a price they want to pay. TIM will also discuss a social program. A well-rounded social calendar would be a great advantage td the town independent who now depends almost entirely upon AIM for his organized entertainment. And many of AlM’s functions are slanted toward the dormitory resident. Thus, many students living in town turn to public entertainment spots for their recreation. This situation removes them from the Univer sity and hurts school spirit. A good social program would give town men a better opportunity to meet their fellow stu dents and thus bring them closer to the Uni versity. And when they got to know each other bet ter they could work together more closely toward a better TIM. But town students don’t seem to realize how much a strong organization can help them. They are content to go along their merry “inde pendent” way. But if they continue to do so they are foolish. Their representatives will be elected next week. In order to vote in that election town students must attend tonight's meeting as well as next week's, according to -the TIM constitution. We hope the hall outside 217 HUB is packed tonight. We hope next week’s meeting will have to be held in a room at least the size of 121 Sparks When the hat societies post guards by the Nittan'y lion on a home football game, it is because they expect the opposing team to try to paint or disfigure the statue. When assistant professors and graduate stu dents patrol the aisles during finals, blue books and even quizzes, it must be because they ex pect their students to cheat. If the instructors have no confidence that their students will refrain from cheating it is understandable that many students will de velop a cat and mouse attitude just to see who will win the game. Perhaps it is because of the attitude of the majority of instructors that cheating has be come a rather alarming problem. Honor and honesty 9° hand in hand. A stu dent placed on his honor is fairly likely to be an honest student, if he is worthy being identi fied with the University. If he cannot be trusted, police action by his instructor will do little to elevate the academic standing of the University. If he does not de serve a diploma but gets one anyway we have graduated one more senior with a diploma which might in time be worthless. —Jackie Hudgins So Far So G00d... . "This is singing?" That's the statement most oft.n heard on the Mall yesterday as freshman customs started its two-week stand. But although the frosh harmonizing hit many sour notes customs started off on a sweet note. The enthusiasm and spirit displayed by frosh men and women and upperclass students was gratifying. After many years of apathy, it seems customs has finally "caught on." Frosh men and women questioned were, in general, getting a big kick out of customs. Many upperclassmen called it the best first day of customs they'd seen. However, the big test of customs, "yes or no,” lies ahead. In the past years, it has been standard operating procedure for customs en forcement to lag after the first day. We don’t want that to happen this year. Customs has jumped off to an active start. We hope it will be enforced for the entire two-week period- duction work, and old staff members may attend DAILY COLLEGIAN CIRCULATION STAFF, all boards 6:30 p.m. Collegian office FROTH AD STAFF, 6:45 p.m., Froth office (HUB) PLAYERS, men for male chorus tryout for Mikado, 2-4 p.m., 214 Carnegie HaU —The Editor —Larry Jacobson Little Man on Campus "Well, well, if it ain't Same Of' Tune Rip Starts Singing Football Blues Again Rip Engle, head football coach, told members of the Faculty Luncheon Club yesterday noon that “Boston University can be beaten only by four quarters of aggressive football.” “This is Boston University’s greatest team.

We’U have to out-smart and out-hustle them. We won’t over power them,” he added. In pointing out the lack of size in his team, he said that "only four boys out of our first 40 weigh over 200 pounds." He continued that "size isn't every thing." “I hope we have heart, in itiative, and desire,” he said. "It's that 100th year that's the toughest," he said jokingly. "This is one of the roughest schedules Penn State has ever had," he added in a serious tone. Losing his pessimistic mood for a minute, he opined that he has “the finest group of boys, as boys go, that I’ve ever seen.” In speaking of the possibility of Penn Stale entering a con ference, he -said "conferences are useless .or unfair" unless they have "equal standards." He added that he' meant not just “equal standards” in size, but in issuing of scholarships, the amount of material from which they have to draw, and “other considerations.” Engle showed the Faculty Luncheon Club members a 15- page scouting report on Boston University. He said the “only scouting at Boston University was through monies because of the replacement for Fordham.” Ford ham dropped football last winter, and Boston University was sched uled as the replacement for the New York college. After being asked about the many magazine articles being written about universities admit ting that college football is pro fessional, Engle said “it isn’t true at Penn State.” Architecture Scholarship Available to Juniors The Pennsylvania Brick and Clay Products Association has es tablished a $250 scholarship avail able to juniors in architecture and architectural engineering.
