THE STUDENT COUNCIL
Body of Upper Classmen Have
Played an Important Part in
College Circles During the Past
Few Years.
In view of the fact that so many
of the students do not know and
appreciate what the organization,
known as the Student Council,
has accomplished during the last
five years, a brief mention of the
actions and accomplishments of
this body is appropriate at this
time.
The board consists of fifteen
seniors and ten juniors, including
the presidents of the two respec
tive classes. The object of the
Student Council is threefold: 1.
To recommend, maintain, and reg
ulate the customs and traditions
of the college. 2. To take such
steps as may be advisable and
necessary to support and carry
into effect any policy to uphold
the name of our college, and, if
necessary, to cause the exclusion
from college of men who bring
discredit to our name; and when
requested, to investigate any ap
peal made by any student. 3. To
promote a better mutual under
standing between the faculty and
the student body.
The Student Council is an or
ganization not devoid of power.
Of the many vital questions that
arise between the faculty and the
student body, among other pow
ers, the council can summon any
student before it and conduct in
vestigations. This body of men
also has the power to discipline or
dismiss any student, subject to the
approval of the faculty, if any ap
peal be taken. The council decides
on the eligibility of contestants in
all class scraps and the time of all
such scraps.
One of the most important ques
tions that this board has settled
this year was that of the adjust
ment of the claim for damages
sustained by the town people as
the result of bonfires after the
football victories over Cornell and
Penn. By arbitration the Student
Council reduced the damages from
$l,OOO to $563.20, and at the same
time secured the co-operation of
the town people to provide suita
ble material for future bonfires.
Another wise action was taken
when it was made compulsory
that every man entering scraps in
the future must be physically ex
amined in order to eliminate con
tagious diseases. By vigilant ef
forts on the part of these twenty
five men stealing, especially in the
armory, has been greatly reduced.
The Student Council is a powes
for the good interest of the stu
dent body, providing of course,
the latter put confidence in the
council. A few men can do more
good than 2,000. To the seniors
and juniors who have served on
this board, congratulations and
praise must be expressed for the
many ways they have served the
student body, to say nothing of
the Alma Mater.
Class Day at Penn State College.
Class Day exercises at Penn State
College will be held Monday, June

effort to make this day a most en
joyable one both for our visitors,
and for those of the student body
still in College.
Interclass Baseball.
The juniors broke the winning
streak of the sophomores by de
feating them Tuesday, May 21, by
the score of 6 to 5.
The game which lasted but five
innings, was the poorest seen on
Old Beaver Field, so far, this sea
son. Both teams seemed to lack
the “pep" that should characterize
class games.
The score:
The sophomores again defeated
the freshmen Saturday, May 25, in
a hard fought game. Both pitchers
were hit rather freely for long
drives but the better support af
forded the sophomore pitcher was
the big factor in the winning of the
the game.
The score:

By defeating the sophomores
Tuesday, May 28, the freshmen
secured a firm grip on the cham
pionship.
The game was the most interest
ing seen so far this season between
the class teams. At the end 'of
the seventh inning the score
stood 6 to 6. The extra inning
was a slugging bee between both
teams, the freshmen winning by the
final score of 10 to 9.

Freshmen Win Championship.
The freshmen won the champion
ships in the interclass soccer league
Thursday afternoon, May 23, by
tieing the juniors in the roughest
and fastest game of the season.
Both teams played at their best
and so evenly were they matched
that, at the end of the extra five
minute period, the score remained
unchanged, 1 to 1.
The last interclass soccer game
was played Monday, May 27, b e
tween the juniors and sophomores
the sophomores winning by the
score 2 to 1.
This game was an important one
as it settled beyond a doubt the
final standing.

1912 Alumni.
The rapid succession of Commen
cement festivities does not permit of
much reflection on the central idea
of the occasion—the stepping into
the working world of a body of young
men and women.
One phase of the subject should
cause us to hesitate at least long
enough to place it well in the fore
front of our minds never to be erad
icated —the relation of the alumnus
to his Alma Mater.
The value we place on Penn State’s
contribution to our character and
ability will be measured by our de
votion and service to her as Alumni.
Our Alma Mater has many problems
to be solved and no one is better
qualified to know and appreciate
these problems and to help find the
answer than the alumnus.
Let us, Alumni of the class of 19-
12, fall in with the organized effort
of the Alumni Association to make
Penn State the biggest, best balanc
ed service rendering educational in
stitution of it’s type in the land.
Captain Fry Will be Stationed at
Portland, Oregon.
A reception and smoker was
recently given at ,he President’s
house in honor of Capt. Hall by the
officers club at which Capt. Edgar
A. Fry, the retiring commandant,
was presented with a large loving
cup by the cadet officers. Capt.
Fry, who has been with us for the
past three years, has been detailed
with the 10th U. S. Infantry which
has just returned from foreign
service and will be stationed at
Portland Oregon. We all wish the
“Hep” success, and we express our
appreciation for the work that he
has done with the Cadet Regiment.
Big Concert Tonight.
SUMMARY OF TRACK
Varsity Track Team Has Most Suc
cessful Season. Two Local Rec
ords Broken. Final Meet Next
Monday.
Penn State’s wonderful 1912 com
bination of path men, coached by
“Pop” Golden and “Prof" Wright,
worked throughout the entire season
like a well oiled machine. The
team was well balanced; its mem
bers showing excellent form both
individually and as a team.
The Blue and White team over
whelmingly defeated Colgate and
Dickinson in dual meets and admin
istered to the former, the worst de
feat it has received in years. In
the Penn Relays, State ran'behind
Virginia University and Carlisle and
ahead of Swarthmore, McGill
University and Lafayette. A
sweeping victory was the result of
the team’s visit to Harrisburg where
the Pennsylvania Intercollegiates
were held. The ’coic-i; of seven
other colleges were lowered and
Penn State's nearest' competitor,
Carlisle, was shy of victory by 24
points. State was represented in
the Intercollegiate championships
at Philadelphia, by a team of five
men which made a favorable show
ing but failed to score.
It is interesting to note that two
Penn State records were broken
during the present year,' both new
marks being made in the Dickin
son meet. Maybee T 3, who former
ly held the pole vaulting reqord of
11 feet 2 1-4 inches jointly with
Hoskins T 2, established a new
mark by clearing the bar at a height
of 11 feet 6 inches. Piner T 5 low
ered the time of the old local
220 yard dash record of 221-5
seconds by 1-5 of a second.
The season’s track summary, ex
clusive of the Carnegie Tech meet
which will be held on New Beaver
Field next Monday follows:
April 27 —Penn State third in
Penn Relays at Philadelphia, Pa.
May 11 —Penn State 63 1-2 Col
gate 40 1-2, at Hamilton, N. Y.
May 18 —Penn State first in Penn
sylvania Intercollegiates, at Harris
burg.
May 25—Penn State 90 1-2 Dick
inson 21 1-2, at State College.
June I—Penn1 —Penn State represented
in Intercollegiates,at Philadelphia.
Baseball Summary.
Interclass baseball this season
was fairly successful in spite of the
fact that varsity baseball, soccer,
and track meets affected greatly
the attendance at many of the
games.
Credit must be given the fresh
man team for the prominent part
that they took in the contest
throughout the season. No less can
be said of the sophomore team for
it was due to this team that the
interest in class league did noc abate
until the close of the season.
The junior team was handicapped
by having no regular pitchers and
this, added to the fact that spring
football practice interfered with
the work of some of their men,
largely explains their poor showing
Soccer Summary.
The spirit in which the players
entered into the soccer games this
season speaks well for its growing
popularity here.
Captain Dutemple’s team, took
the lead from the beginning, which
lead they easily maintained until
the close of the season, finishing
with a record of three games won
and one tied. •
The juniors and sophomores also
had good teams as is shown by the
narrow margins on which all the
games were won or lost. These
three teams will doubtless furnish a
rich source of material from which
to draw for our! varsity team next
fall.
