WEDNESDAY, MAR. 19, 1913
Haircutting has advanced two
editorials on the ques
tion of hazing. There is one phase
of hazing, however, that has not
been touched upon and that is
"haircutting". Our customs are
rapidly changing; we have passed
the period in which so-called class
battles were fought with stones,
pieces of pipe, clubs, etc. Since
the forms of "barbarism" shown
the first year's men have diminish
ed, less class feeling has resulted
an. th 6 tendency has becomy more
general for mutual feelinifrom all
classes toward the Blue 'and White.
Haircutting is one of the few dis
agreeable features that now
remains. Not only is this act
especially embarrassing to the per-
son so unfortunate as to have the
judgment of the "rough-neck" ele
ment visited upon him, but from a
broader standpoint what an im
mense amount of harm to the col
lege does such an act cause in a
community where it is made appar-
Here is something for the class
of 1916. There are other forms of
making men live up to college cus
toms. Even in times past when
hazing was widely countenanced, a
haircut was the extreme penalty.
It is the aim of each class to do at
least one thing that will go down in
tradition. What more important
resolution could be adopted than
the settlement of this last extremely
disagreeable phase of our student
regulation?
After this issue
The New the new Editorial
Editorial Staff Staff will assume
charge of the Penn
State Collegian. To the new men,
we wish them success in the work
that should and can be made in
time one of the greatest factors in
Penn State—that of having a real
live up-to-date daily college paper.
Realizing as do the three retiring
senior editors, all the pleasures and
at the same time difficulties that
arise in connection with a year of
journalism, our hope is that the
faculty and student body will coop
erate with the new board as in
years past, a fact that will assure
that next year's "Collegian", under
the efficiency of the new staff, will
by far excel previous editions.
However, to make this paper a
success requires financial support.
Is it too much to suggest that the
"other four" also pay as the fifth
one has done? To date not more
than twenty per cent of the enrolled
student body have paid subscrip
tions. The time seems to be at
hand to make big advancement in
size and the number of issues pub
lished, but progress cannot be made
under the present circumstances.
Something that
"Prep" School has become more
Insignia apparent this win-
ter than in former
years in the wearing of "prep"
school letters and insignia. To a
college man the earlier honors
gained on the girdiron, diamond
and track are as past history. The
Penn State idealism in not what
you did or what your widely pro
claimed marks of distinction indi
cate what you did before coming to
college, but rather what have you
done for your class and your col
lege since entering here. Further
more, the wearing of such insignia,
while it means little to the student
body as a whole, is a downright
act of disrespect to the athlete who
has worked hard and earned his
"S." Last year marked the abolish
ment of the individual class colors
and class insignia—a step that did
much toward uniting classes to
work for their Alma Mater rather
than the class. Does this not ap

future.

Because of the
The Hospital fact of the large
Question amount of sickness
prevalent in State
College this winter (and the limited
capacity of caring for such) the
question of obtaining aid toward the
hospital proposition is very timely
just before vacation. The present
fund contains $5OOO, Govenor Tener
has pledged himself responsible for
raising $4OOO and Senator Penrose
has promised $lOOO more, so the
appeal is made to the student body
to try during the vacation to inter
est some wealthy person, in our
need of proper medical attention.
the names of any such persons will
be gladly received by Mrs. C. D.
Fehr, the chairman of the com
mittee.

The Call for candidates for the

Candidates announced last week, a
call is made for sopho
mores desiring to compete for the
one open position on the Business
Staff of this paper. All names
should be addressed to L. B. Keelan
immediately following Easter week.
The June in June comes at

year. We who have
been here before can doubtless ap
preciate the difficulty in trying to

THE SENIOR MEMORIAL
Plans for Senior Gift to the College
the 1913 memorial committee
composed of Messrs. Steel, Light,
Miller, Reeves and Wilson have
worked diligently in originating ,
and preparing plans for a sutiable
memorial to be presented to the
college by the senior class. The
committee after careful considera
tion arrived at the conclusion that
some well appearing entrance to
Main Building would be suitable,
and this is the proposition the com
e' -o Tstofteft to the — ad - grit
represents. The plans call for a
beautiful entrance, a terrace and a
circular arrangement of seats, the
latter of which will be erected at
the expense of the college. Both
the Architectural and the Land
scape Gardening Departments of this
college have already approved
these plans and affirm that if they
are carried out, it will tend to relieve
the monotonous effect of the pres
ent entrance. Two thousand dol
lars will be necessary to accomplish
the proposed undertaking. The
committee hopes to have the plans
realized by Commencement Day so
that at this time the dedication by
the senior class may take place.
John Walker Powell, All Western
guard for three years, President of
the Alumni Association, and voted
the most popular preacher of the
University of Minnesota, gave an
address on Sunday, which was
greatly appreciated by the student
body.
Rev. Dr. Charles Erdman, a pop
ular professor at Princeton Univer
sity, and who for a number of years
has been intensely interested in the
problems of railroad men, will very
probably preach on the first Sun
day after vacation.
The Young Men's Christian
Association is in debt about $4OO.
An appeal is made to the student
body to do all in its power to help
eliminate this deficit. Help the
Association to close the yeir with a
clean slate.
Examination time
President and Mrs. Sparks will
visit Governor Tener during the
time of The Thespian performance
at Harrisburg. They will be guests
at the Executive Mansion during
their stay in that city.
Dean Jackson spoke in Harris
burgh Monday before the Engi
neering Society of Pa. on "The
Function of the Engineer in Public
Life."
