KEEPING FRESHMAN CUSTOMS
Every college and university has its certain
cherished traditions , which through the ages
of time , have fastened themselves by a thread
of college spirit to the life of that community .
The thread used at Bloomsburg is that unbreakable kind and consequently it is the
duty of every student whether he be old or
new, to see that Bloomsburg 's cherished and
characteristic traditions are observed and to
assist so that others shall do the same.
Whatever you found at this college when
you came is right; it is the tradition , and you
are asked nothin g better than to live up to
that tradition regardless of how unnatural
that custom may seem to you.
Freshmen , remember , that when you enter
Bloomsburg you are considered a man. Be
honest- with yourself and always keep in
mind the fact that you are here for a life
purpose.
Sometimes the freshmen rebels. Nine
ti m es out of ten , he doesn 't rebe l because he
feels that the tradition is crushin g his personality : on the contrary he uses his rebellion to
expose his personality . He is so eager to
make an impression that he usually succeeds
in makin g himself look very foolish.
Now as to the freshmen dink. A freshman is very foolish , indeed , w h o d oes n ot
comply with the rules and wear his dink
properly because as a social creature he has
to accept many of the dictates of society
whether he likes them or not; and if he enters a new society, he has to accept its dictates unti l he has made himself a powerfu l
enough member to change what he doesn 't
like. The freshman dink is not a symbol of
the re gimentation of souls that he asserted it
was; it is merely a custom , both acceptable
and pleasant to the maj ority . Therefore ,
freshmen , remember that we are j udged more
by what we do than by what we say. Wear
your freshman customs without trying to put
something over on the tribunal or the upper
classman before you have tested their virtues ,

treat of some topic of interest to the Teach*
ers and are signed by the author as an evidence of good faith. " The name of the
communicant need not be published if he
desires it not to be. It must be signed only
as an evidence of good will.
The MAROON and GOLD invites all
those connected with the college who have
something on their mind concerning the col*
lege or of interest to "the Teachers " to make
uBe of this column. It is a means whereby
we can ascertain true student opinion. We
h ope it will be freely used.
The Maroon and Gold
The changes to be made in the MAROON
and GOLD this y ear , bot h in t he format and
th e organization , have been the result of the
efforts of the executive board of this paper.
The executive board have worked hard at reorganizing the paper in order that it will remain one of the best of college papers in its
class.
Another change in the MAR OON and
GOLD whi ch is not as ev ident to it s read ers
as the change in format , but which nevertheless is of as great importance, is a change in
the manner of arriving at the editorial policies of the paper.
Previously the editor was the only member of the staff interested in the editorial policies of the paper and with but few exceptions
the editorial responsibilities have been the
policies of the editor and of him alone. It
has been decided that this year constructive
commun ications concerning the conduct of
thi s paper , whether favoring or opposing the
stand taken by the MAROON and GOLD
will be welcomed by th e edit or and w ill b e
