Monday night the Penn State Collegian Board held its annual elections. R. M. Evans, 'l3, was chosen Editor in Chief, to take office at once, while M. M. Grubbs, T 3, was elected Business Manager, to assume office next fall. In resigning the man agement of the paper to these new men, we feel that they are fully able to assume the task, and to car ry the work to a still higher plane than it has formerly reached. In relinquishing the positions held since last Easter, the editor and as sistant editor wish to thank all those who have rendered assistance to them in the work, and to express particularly their appreciation of the unfailing support of the men on the board, on both the editorial and business staffs. While discouraging obstacles have been met with from time to time, the work of publica tion of the college weekly has, on the whole, been a source of pleas ure and enjoyment to the 1912 members of the board. We extend to the new men our congratulations upon their election, and our sincerest wishes for a suc- cessful year, and for a greater and broader work of the “Collegian." Keep On the At this time of the Walks. year it seems almost necessary that the annual appeal should be made to the student body to refrain from the practice of deserting the walks for the grass on the campus as soon as the snow melts. An attempt should be made to keep from wearing beat en paths on the grass because of the softness of the sod. A great amount of damage may be done and much grass may be easily killed for all summer with a little tramp ing at this time. A little thought fulness now on the part of many will show its good effects later on in the spring. Hospital The need of a student Benefit, hospital has so long been apparent that no argu- ment should be necessary to cause every man to buy a ticket for Fri day night’s entertainment. The lecture itself promises to be one of this season’s best, but even if it is impossible for a man to attend, he should help the cause along by buying a ticket. Penn State needs the hospital and it is the affair of every student to help, if only in this small way, to obtain that end. Call For Editorial With the re- Candidates. tiremenf of two members from the editorial staff of this paper a call must be made for three asso ciate editors, one to be chosen from the sophomore class and two from the freshman class. It is desired that a large number of men com pete for the places open on the staff. Selections will be made by competition and every man will be given an equal chance to show his ability along the line of reportorial work. It is urged that candidates, when submitting names to the new editor, give their college address and where they can be reached by telephone. Altoona and Cleveland Alumni Or ganize.
