EDITORIAL.
This issue beipg the first one un
der the management of the new
staff, we must confess that it is with
a realization of the duties and re
sponsibilides that we assume con
trol of the college weekly. Under ex
cellent management, the Penn State
Collegian has made progress in the
past and it will be the earnest en
deavor of the present board to bet
ter the publication, condense and
increase the real news of the col
lege, and in editorials to consider
by discussions some of the many
student problems of Penn State.
The new board wishes to offer
praise and congratulations to the
retiring Editor in Chief, W. S.
Kriebel, T 2 and Assistant Editor,
W. P. Little, T 2. They have per
formed their duties well, and, above
all things else, have wolked at all
le best interests’ oTPenn
times tor fl
The primary aim of the Penn State
Collegian is to be a newspaper and
not a literary publication. It is pub
lished in the interests of the facul
ty, the alumni and the student
body. While it will not be the ob
ject of the new editors to find fault
indiscriminately, we believe the best
way in righting a wrong is to state
the truth in regards to it.
Finally, we need your co-opera
tion in the work. The new board is
not ignorant of the fact that it does
not know everything about publish
ing a paper, and at all times sug
gestions from persons who have the
best interests ot the college at heart
will be welcomed. Nor can we al
ways discover the happenings and
events in our little community. If
you know an interesting bit of news,
send it in. By the proper spirit of
co operation we hope to be able to
accomplish the best results during
the next year.
Will You Help ?
In order to awaken to our faults
in the minds of our readers, the edi
torial staff, during the next two
weeks, is especially anxious to re
ceive from every student in college,
every member of the faculty, and
any alumnus, a letter stating criti-
cisms and suggestions along any
lines that will benefit the Penn State
Collegian.
Any member of the editorial staff
will receive these letters. It is to
be hoped that you will not let us
remain in ignorance of our short
comings, when by correcting them,
the board may become more effi-
Hew Men.
Last week a call for new editorial
candidates was made. One sopho
more and two freshmen will be se
lected. The benefits of a berth on
your college paper are many. In
addition to the act of doing some
thing for your Alma Mater, a few
years of collegiate work will do
wonders toward expressing ideas
to be grasped by others, will
serve, as few other activities do, to
increase mingling with fellow stu
dents, and forms the habit of ob
servance. The election of new edi
tors from the lower two classes will
be held in three weeks. If you
wish to compete, hand your name
to the editor. Of the new men who
have written articles so far all, with
exception of two, are fraternity
men. While the spirit of the up
perclassmen in fraternities in en-
couraging new men to work for a
place on the weekly is appreciated,
can not upperclassmen in Main
Building and McAllister Hall induce
underclassmen to compete for simi
lar positions ? The Penn State
Collegian is open to every man in
college.
The Wrong A few students,
Spirit. possibly twelve or
fifteen, displayed the
wrong kind of spirit toward our var
sity baseball team upon its return
from the South last week. Manager
Devor, just previous to his leaving
town, engaged a bus to transport
the players from Lemont to College
upon their return from the Southern
trip. Upon the arrival of the train
at Lemont, a handful of students
quickly crowded into the reserved
omnibus and when politely asked
by the driver and baseball manage
ment to desert the vehicle, vulgar
remarks were passed and the men
remained in their seats. The men
were transported to State College
while the members of the team,
tired from their over night journey,
awaited the return of the bus.
Fellows, our athletes neither ask
nor want special privileges and to
have given over the bus to them
would not have been a sacrifice. It
was their right to occupy the bus as
it had been engaged for them since
March 30. We hope the men di
rectly interested in this affair will
realize that an over abundance of
nicety was not shown.
In the joint class meeting, Wed
nesday March 27, the following
motion was passed : “That sopho
more classes be prohibited from
using lime or graphite in the an
nual flag scrap.”
Everybody laughs in the Audi
torium this Saturday night.
The average fertilizer contains 4 times as much phosphoric acid as Potash. The
average crop takes from the soil 3 times as much Potash as phosphoric acid.
You can guess the answer. Use more Potash, for

Do Fertilizers Pay?
The Government and Educatlon.il “Authori
ties" spend considerable public money in printing
contradictory statements on this point.
Great fortunes have been made in manufactur
ing fertilizers. They evidently pay the makers.
Farmers continue to increase their fertilizer
purchases, indicating that they arc profitable to
the farmer.
But are the kinds which the manufacturers pre
fer to sell the most profitable to the farmer ? Do
they give the greatest profit consistent with main
taining the productiveness of the soil ? Or do
they merely supply the clement most needed at
the moment and reduce die available supply of
the other elements ?
