WEDNESDAY, MAR. 5, 1913
Is lobbying a re
Lobbying quisite of true Penn
State spirit ? One
might almost be.convinced that it is
when he attempts to run the gaunt
let of lobbyists at the time of a
class or college election. The val
idity of all this has been discussed
in the Collegian of Feb. 5 and need
, not be taken up at this time. How
ever, this practice is confined no
only to elections but has gone so
far as to become a very prominen
factor in a class matter other than
an election, and too, by men other
than members of that class. Is i
fair that an upperclassman stand at
the door of the room in which a
freshman classmeeting is in session
and ask each freshman as he enters
to vote for or against a measure
then under consideration ? To be
sure it is the privilege of any upper-
classman to give advice to any and
every freshman, but he should not
resort to lobbying as a. means for
doing this. It is only befitting to
an upperclassman to wield his in
fluence in another way than this.
He can do it in either of two ways
that are fair to all: first, by permis
sion of the class officers,appear be
fore the class and state his reasons
why a certain measure should be
accepted or rejected, or secondly,
he may discuss the matter with
members of the class before the
night of the class meeting. Fel
lows, tactfulness is a quality that
every upperclassman at least
should possess, and here is an op
portunity for you to show it.
In carrying out
New recent action taken
Bulletin Board by the student
council a new en
closed bulletin board will be placed
at the Co-op in the near future.
The object is to make it possible to
get before the student body all
regular and specially called meetings
of importance in some systematic
way and designated place. This
will also tend to do away conflicts
in meetings and rooms, as all meet
ings can be regularly posted in
plenty of time to give subsequent
meetings a chance to select suitable
hours and places for meetings. A
lock box, similar to the Lavie Box,
will be placed beside the bulleten
board and all notices of sufficient
importance may be deposited there.
Persons will be appointed who will
have keys to the box and who will
post the notices dropped in the box.
Only notices of major importance
will be posted, such as meetings,
of Glee Club, Mass Meetings, Class
Meetings, Deutscher Verein, Agri
cultural Society, Engineering Soci
ety, and all similar meetings.
Meetings of County or Prep School
clubs and the like will not be post
ed on this board.
AGRICULTURE NOTES
The School of Agriculture and
Experiment Station is holding a
Farmers' Week at Greenville this
week, from March 3rd to 7th, in
clusive, for the benefit of the peo
ple of Western Pennsylvania. Lec
tures of special interest to
this section will be given by the fol
lowing members of the staff: Mes
srs. Bucher, Darst, Ferguson, Gard
ner, Goodling, Havner, Kilpatrick,
McDowell, Myers, Noll, Stewart,
Tomhave and Watts, also Dean
Holmes and Miss Lovejoy.
A car load of livestock has been
shipped from the College to Green
ville for exhibition and judging
purposes
Friday, February 28th, was desig
nated by the School of Agriculture
as Corn Day. More than 100
samples of corn which had been ex
hibited at the State Corn Show in
Harrisburg, and 23 of which were
on exhibition at the National Corn
Show at Columbia, South
Carolina, were placed on ex
hibition in the Assembly Room in
the Agricultural Building.
A program devoted exclusively
to corn was carried out during the
forenoon and afternoon. Among
the topics discussed were "Corn for
Silage" by H. P. Davis; Selection of
Seed Corn" by W. H. Darst; "Care
and Testing of Seed Corn" by C. F.
Noll, and "More Corn per Acre" by
F. D Gardner.
The Pennsylvania Raih oad ran
excursion trains and brought to
State College about 400 visitors.
In addition to these, many drove in
from Center County. It is estimat
ed that fully 600 were present in
the Old Chapel during the after
noon program.
This is the first time in the history
of the College that a day has been
devoted exclusively to the exhibi
tion and consideration of one crop
only. The day was eminently suc
cessful and everyone who attended
seemed well pleased with their
visit.
The exhibition of corn would
have done credit to one of the corn
growing states.
Dean R. L. Watts addressed a
very well attended meeting of con
sumers and producers at the Fort
Pitt Hotel on Saturday, March Ist.
This meeting was called by the
Pittsburgh Consumers Co-Operative
Association.
The Mechanical Banquet
The annual banquet given by the
Junior Mechanicals to the outgoing
Senior Mechanicals was held at the
Nittany Inn on Saturday eve,
March Ist. Among the speakers
of the evening were Dean Jackson,
who spoke on "The Needs of the
Engineering School"; Professor
Moyer, who dwelt on the "Benefits
to be Derived from the Experiment
Station"; Professor Calderwood, on
"Mechanicals vs. Engineers"; and
Professor Mease on "High Spots".
Short talks on pertinent questions
were also given by the Society's
officers. Mr. H. L. Hughes acted
as toastmaster of the occasion.

Juniors Win Championship
The Interclass championship was
won by the junior basketball team
last Wednesday evening when they
defeated the sophomores in a post
season game. The upper classmen
had the better team and deserved
to win. Their team work at times
was unusually good. The sopho
mores also played well but the
strong defensive work of the junior
guards' made it almost impossible
for the usually good forwards to do
effective shooting.
The lineup:

out of 8. Substitutions—Wilson

ler. Referee—Armsby.
Whites Take First Game
The Whites, under the leadership
of Captain Murphy, succeeded in
taking the first game of the All
Star series. The floorwork of both
teams was good but inclined at
times to be rough, while the shoot
ing of the forwards, especially
Gockley and Erwin, was note
worthy. The next game of the
series will ,be played Wednesday
evening and will doubtless prove
one well worth going to see.
