Concerning Our During the pres-
Motions.
two important mo-
tions have been passed in mass
meetings in connection with our
Athletics. At the adoption of the
Minoi Sports’ Constitution, a certain
section therein providing for the
awarding of an tSt to the varsity
tennis men was included. Evident
ly this section, although stated in
the columns of the Penn State Col
legian and posted on the bulletin
board, was not fully understood by
the student body, as the motion was
later revoked.
Also some dissatisfaction has
been expressed from numerous
sources in regards to voting basket
ball into the Minor Sports' Consti
tution at a Wednesday morning
mass meeting. The question of
placing basketball in the Minor
Sports’ Constitution was discussed
in a mass meeting held just previous
to Easter vacation. The proposed
change was posted, as is constitu
tional, for at least one week's time
on the college bulletin board, and
was voted on and was passed
Wednesday morning. It seems to
us that when a matter so important
as placing basketball in the Minor
Sports’ Constitution is to be voted
upon, a definite stated time for the
action should be thoroughly posted,
and by doing this the opposition
can at least be prepared by attend-
ance to present their arguments.
We like to talk of
Our Support, the rapid strides that
Penn State has made
along advancement in athletics and
in student conditions. These
strides have been very marked, but
the good derived from them and
others that are to come is doomed
unless sufficient support is given by
the student body. The bulletin
board proposition was a good thing,
yet it failed financially, the pro
moters barely making expenses; in
terclass basketball, a sport that
formerly made money for the class-
es, was almost a complete financial
failure this year; thus far, the spec
tators at the interclass baseball
games have been few; and although
a fairly large crowd saw the first
tennis match, the greater number
present refused absolutely to pay.
What is the answer to this state of
affairs. Should the student body
discountenance Minor Athletics ?
Or must some method of laying a
general assessment at entrance, to
finance such projects, be installed ?
Three New At a recent meeting.
Men. the “Collegian” Board
Fairness is the one
A Thought, thing that character-
izes Penn State in all
her relations to others, whether rival
colleges or the public. We have
been congratulated time and time
again, by teams we have defeated
or lost to, upon our willingness to
give a square deal. The decision
of our Student Council in regard to
the "Bonfire” question showed that
the rights and property of the town
people are respected. Thus we
must be ready to uphold this repu
tation both in athletics and in our
relations to the public.
Few of us are aware that this
reputation is constantly thrown into
danger by a few careless ones. It
is not at all an uncommon sight to
see several students walking abreast
and thereby forcing students, or
what is worse, a town-citizen to the
road or a bordering lawn. Oc
casionally it happens that women
are subjected to this ill treatment.
This is especially true around the
“Co-op corner,” where groups of
students are wont to gather in order
to review the bulletin board or en
gage in a short “bee” with their
friends. The result is that persons
passing here, are forced to plow
through the crowd, or take to the
street.
We too, encounter this trouble,
but since the wrong is done by our
own friends or fellow students, the
same effect is not produced upon
us. No doubt we ourselves do the
same thing and place others in the
same embarrassing position. How
ever, there can be no other reason
for this unpleasantry than mere
thoughtlessness, for no one with an
unprejudiced mind will say that
Penn State men willfully behave in
a rude manner. There is room for
all of us.
Improvements on Few things
Our Campus. have been done
here recently
that have added as much to the
beautifying of our campus as that
done by the Landscape Gardening
Department at the entrance to the
college grounds, the corner of
Allen Street and College Avenue.
This department, under charge of
Prof. Gregg, has indeed killed two
birds with the one stone, for not
only have they added materially to

the appearance of our campus, at
this important point, by the addi
tion of ornamental shrubbery and
sodding, but they have eliminated,
we have every right to expect, the
disfiguring path, that has always
existed at this point, leading to
wards Main Building.
Fortunately for us, we have a
campus that 1 is a gift from nature.
Nowhere in the state and, perhaps,
nowhere in the country can any
Other institution boast of superior
natural scenery. So much is this
true that our grounds have been
eft largely to their own fate and
yet by our, visiting friends, their
praises are always among the first
to be sounded.
Penn State men have always been
loyal to their institution, and eager
and willing to do anything to furth
er her progress. Now fellows, since
the Landscape Gardening Depart
ment has met us more than half
way, let us do our part. If it is nec
essary that we “cut campus” let us,
for once, be inconsistent and follow
no special course.
Band Concert.
The last band concert of the
season before Commencement was
given in the Auditorium, Sunday
evening. It was attended by the
largest crowd of the year, all of
whom were well pleased with the
program rendered.
The band, under the direction of
P. M. Snavely, is to be commended
for the- many pleasant entertain
ments that they have given to the
students and townspeople.
On May 1, the sophomores de
feated the juniors in baseball by
the score of 10 to 9.
