They look upon then undergraduate existence as foul or five years of vacation, massed occasionally by blue books and the assignments of the professors. "What Ido in College doesn't mean a thing," they say. "Wait until I graduate and then I'll show the world something" Evidently they are uncles the delusion that the standards of life ale lower than those of the college or unnessity, that the tests of ability are different. President Coolidge, who should know something about both undergraduate and post-graduate life and then touchstones of success, dispels these illusions in the fol lowing concise and pointed paragraph. "Too gloat tests in mental discipline ale accuracy and honesty. It is fns better to master a few subjects thoroughly than to base a mass of genesalizations about many subjects. The wodd will have little use fol those who use sight only .1 past of the time. Whatesri may be the standruils of the classroom, practical life will tequne something mole than GO pet cent of 70 per cent for a pass ing mark The standards of the amid use not like those set by the faculty, but mole closely resemble those set by the student body themselves. They use not at all content with a member of the musical organizations who can strike only 00 per, cent of the notes They do not tolerate the man on the diamond who catches only 80 pet cent of the balls The standards st,lnch the student body set are high , They want accdritcy that is well-nigh complete. They apply' ' the same standards to condos and honesty. Bluff and me-; ten.e may be permitted in the classroom; but in their se- 1 lotions with each other students regard such practices with contempt, and those who resort to them are properly con sidered to be cheap. They may be willing to sic, oith, considerable tolerance those who break the toles of the school, but they will not fail to mete out condemnation and penalty to those oho tweak the tubes of timiung. i When the world holds its examinations it mill lequile the; same standatds of accuracy rind honesty which student' bodies impose upon themselves. Unless the mind is l brought under such training and discipline as will enable! it to acquire these standards at an catty pessod the gravel danger Incleases that they may never be acquired." AN ALL-COLLEGE DAY Esei since the abolition of athletic scholarships at Penn State the problem of obtaining good high school =- terml has been discussed again and again by officials and students alike. Evoyone has agreed that without sonic sort of an inducement the College can not hope to attract the type of athlete that is necessary, if Penn State is to maintain its position and prestige in collegiate sportdom. The latter conclusion is most logical since it is a proven fact that a great majority of the men who became notable Nittany Lion athletes receives! some snit of aid dining their quest for knowledge. , In an attempt to better the medicament wrought by the 'no scholarship' decree, the authorities decided to hold nn annual affair that would advertise Penn State among prombang high school athletes and, entitled '"S" Banquet', was created to serve also ns a token or symbol of appie ,eiation of the lettermen on the vamous teams. The ban-, ,quet was held for the first time last spring, and the fu ture greats, along with the "S" winners, attended. I This year the committee, appointed by the president of Student Council to take charge of the banquet, has derided to disregard high school athletes as invitees and, occur ding to tentative plans will localize the affair nicking it strictly a dinrer for lettermen. Immediately following the dinner, an all-College convocation will be held in Recreation Nall rind a prominent football conch will ad d:cgs the assemblage. This plan is satisfactory for entertaining the College lettermen but precludes any hope or idea of obtaining ath letic material fiom preparatory and high schools As the name implies, the function will be limited to winners of athletic annuls with no attempt at interesting outsiders in Penn State In our opinion, the "S" Banquet offers an c‘cellent opportunity to advertise the institution if turned into an all-College affair. Instead of a few attempting to accomplish something, the students and alumni could pool their offoi Is in "selling" Penn State to visiting, athletes. Accmding to 'enrolls fi urn Lehigh university, where an all-college function somewhat like the above is held each sin mg, such a system is beating find and plans ate being prepared to make the coming event more impressive than even. Through a function like this the sisitors caa become acquainted with our laaditions and some may oe sufficiently iminessed to make Penn State their alms mate The benefits front this e \periment are easily seer.. ,Sanely rt deset‘es a trial. Circulation Atomizer —Advertlsine Atomizer A Campus of paths! That is one of the fast thoughts that strikes a Nisitot upon being shown over Penn State's famed Campus.

Thousands.of dollars yearly are spent by the college ' in an attempt to keep the campus in a presentable shape, l One man is kept busy throughout the year following after thoughtless students mho drop waste paper any place but in the containcis provided for such materials. The Penn State spirit, so highly praised at times,' seems decidedly lacking in obedience and campus pride, Not because the violators do not realize it, but lather they, feel that it is no disgrace to follow lines of what ap peal to he custom.

It seems that the salter of the letter entitled "I F. 2 Down. Go Doom , " was trying to amuse the "collegiate public which your lieu varier series" instead of trying to iight a "social maladnistinent " In fact I am inclined to think that he was exteremele hypoei awn' in his mitten opinions since I happened to 1 e an eye witness of the affair which the ssould-he hum°, lot described in such sired detail To begin with tins practitionei of hypociacy was the victim of thought lesness on the put of none othei than himself. While lie and his compan ion "were tamping leisurely down the campus _walk" they joined the tanks of a some or mote "high school boys, calling themselves college stu dents" and ',landed to quite out with might and nrun upon the "skat mg rink and toboggan slide combined" Which hastened considembly the das .cent Item Ohl Main to College acc rue It suns mlule thus absorbed the pleasures of his boyhood that the 'Victim' expeuenced 'a tent file shoe': and a jar" The water's description of his pre dicament from this point on wan colonel beyond iccognition It is a truth that he fell rather heavily upon the ice laden pasement but, neverthe less, he ,AS fun lions u state of un consciousness often the accident To Use conhary, instead of being revived by the aid of glasses of e, tremely cold motel," he nose hastily to his feet and rejoined the merry pin cession on its any down the slating path. If the unitm sought to bring out sonic metal or to catty on a campaign against such school boy practices upon the campus he should base attacked himself fast. — As a result of his hy poetdieal vmus the letter which he cnileavmed to make humorous by in cluding within it such ulotie elan es sums as "bed of loses" and "leaned s o unconsciously" fell entaely shot of its point. I wally doubt whether the author of that epistle was feeling vmy well when he Mrotcoulth such ap parent gusto Ills ill feeling, hoes nor, could not hose been the result of his fall since I saw hen several hoots later continuing his boyhood antics on that same slippery path. This man's hypiociitical notate bodes no good for the College and the community He is the type who will stoke another from the back and then inert to flight He is the typical Ararchist ot.4l,olshevast of a comb., ation of both uho is nicer content Lnless he can be some instrument in rt , iting up controversy.

When too colleges such as Penn State and Penn, oho meet in mute.: ally every spelt annually, do not en gage ono another in a spoil it is quite noticeable. These must be some an swer to the question. Inquiries to the Lion manages dis close the fast that Penn State oar willing to meet the Pennsylvania mat team but the hates university did not tavos such a contest From this it seems as though the Quakes cat;, team t as afraid of being beaten and thoefote refused to sched ule the Lions, that they might have a better chance to go through the sea son undefeated Perhaps it aas the one-sided victm y of the Nittany seven over them last year that decided the issue.
