Funny Froth?
Edition two of the resurrected Froth faltered
back on campus yesterday, scoring with a sellout on
sales but a blackout on laughter.
Froth is the lunniest humor magazine on campus,
but that*s because it's the only one.
Right now the Froth staff is still in its embrvonic
Stage, trying to find its sense of direction and style.
The old Froth was squelched by both student and
Administration' action and opinion because of too
much smut.
Current editors are understandably cautious
shout what they print. But the net result has been
far too many pages of unoffensive but meaniingless
tripe. ,
Four pages devoted to a “freshman's" first im
pressions of PSU, especially when the coed meanders
through all the pictures with a sorority pm casting
doubts on the whole idea, was a waste of space. Last
spring's Froth earned plenty of pages of canned jokes.
They weren’t original, but at least they were ftmnv.
The “Ft nth Philosophy." which purportedly
functions as an (editorial, ’didn’t offer any pertinent,
humorous comrhents on the contemporary campus
scene. It failed =to continue along the lines of last
spring s Froth “philosophy.'' which at least took some
sort of stand aliout something.
Yesterday’s iFroth edition was written, planned
and sent to presd during the summer term by a skele
ton staff. As such, it is a tribute to Acting Editor
Ed Munn that this copy exists at all.
Munn wrot'j most of the reallv humorous seg
ments in this Froth, notably portions of the “Com
nleat Frosh Guicje.” Praise also must go to an excel
lent. photography staff and make-up men. as well as
to Steve Mallinger for his original “topographical'’
map of the campus.
Froth needs some good .sophisticated writers.
Since the Birdcage has profaned its last. Froth must
assume the role of campus satirist, as well as campus
jester.
Froth’s ultimate success or failure lies with every
student. If he belives that having a humor magazine
is worth all the trouble it cost those who resurrected
it last year, then he must be willing to do more than
shell out 50 centsito read it. He also should contribute
to its content. )
But. with all its faults, the October Froth is
much better fharj none at all.

7 For Customs Program
TO THE EDITOR: Re Colle
gian’s editorial opinion on
Freshmen Customs (Sept. 28).
Do you find yourself hum
ming through the Alma Mater
while you flip through the foot
ball program to find the words?
Well, unfortunately you are not
alone.
If ?ou are a sophomore or a
freshman, it is not entirely
your fault. For the past two
years. Freshmen C u s t o m s
have, for all practical purposes,
been eliminated.
Tile blame for this situation
can be put on the upperclass
men who do not really care.
When freshmen come to the
brand nets world of (he college
campus. They have a pleasant
dread of orientation, dinks, and
namecards. At Penn State they
are disappointed.
A freshman has fo be made
to feel a part of his new en
vironment. We can think of no
better way than a workable
Freshman Customs program.
Upperclassmen we have
spoken to have a fond ‘'remem
ber when . ■ ." atti'udc towards
their Freshmen Customs
Quote of the Day
“Arguments are to be avoided; they are always
vulgar and often convincing.”
STUDENT VALUE SPECIAL
Please Send Radio(s) at $16.96 each
My organization, , with a membership
*>f is interested in earning funds, please send details for exclusive
campus sales representation
something we can never have.
We sueegst that the program
be reinstated for fro-hmen
entering everv term with a
few modifications.
• Since freshman classes are
so large, customs should be
organbed at the living area
level
• It can only be a successful
program if everyone partic'-
pntes. Mo freshman will wear a
dink or a namceard if his
classmates get awav without
it.
• The only way In insure co
operation is to have penalties
for those who break customs
regulations for instance, a
Frosh Dcliquenl Show on in
each living area.
• Since some freshmen re
sent having dinks, a dink lend
ing service can bo initiated with
the trosli paying for tile dink
and dw getting a refund upon
its return.
All upperclassmen, not only
orientation leaders, should help
cultivate school spirit with their
full cooperation.
