The Student Coun-
Class cil and Student Board
Legislation o£ this year can be
most heartily com-
mended for the progressive legis
lation they have accomplished thus
far. An urgent duty, it would
seem, for the two future governing
bodies will be to endeavor to find a
solution for the financial problems
confronting each class annually.
At the present time no class has
the word “quorum” clearly defined.
Meetings are called at pleasure with
no regulation. Whenever a vote is
to be taken, there is often a vote tak
en to decide the method of voting.
There is no stipulated time or
method in auditing books and no
clearly defined rules for levying of
dues. These are only a part of the
reasons which make possible the
the chaotic conditions which exist
at class meetings.
If the Student Board made an in-
vestigation of conditions at other
institutions and formed a constitu-
tion, it could force incoming classes
to adopt it. Thus in four years
every class would be governed by
the same constitution and some de
gree of uniformity would prevail.
The constitution could take up the
the question of dues which is the
most serious problem of every
class. If every man who flunked
out paid his dues while he was in
school, the sixty per cent who
graduate would not find so many
bills to pay. Less than half of
every class carry the finances of
their class until the senior year is
reached. At the present time
every senior makes up his deficien
cy and a large sum is left over.
From this fund comes the senior
class gift. Could not a method be
devised that would empower the
treasurer to collect the dues in full
each year and thus reduce the ulti
mate expense. Surely there is a
large field of work open for either
this year’s Student Council or for
the one to be elected.
With strains of “Keep
Senior off the grass” and “Stay
Benches on the walks” we are en-
deavoring to make our
campus beautiful. A well kept
green is a pleasant remembrance of
any college and of ours this is es
pecially true. Visitors commend
us upon it; we are proud of it; its
traditions and memories are pre
cious and we cherish it. Custom
has made it sacred, underclassmen
reverenceit, juniors look upon it with
pride and seniors take advantage of
the privilege it offers and benefit
themselves thereby. But one thing
has been forgotten. Under the
spreading branches of the shapely
Norway maples were placed the
lustic senior benches. Classes used
them, enjoyed them, graduated and
left them —the goal of the fresh
man, the ambition of the sopho-i
more, the dream of the junior and
the pride of the senior; to stand
through the heavy, wintry storms,
amid ice and snow, rain and sleet,
and yet expect them to serve their
purpose as before. As a result
these benches are now in a very
bad condition. They have rotted
and decayed and show only too
well the severe strain of an all sea-
son outdoor exposure. Commence-
ment is coming, we are striving as
never before to make our campus
beautitul, and yet we seem to have
forgotten these time immemorial
landmarks. Cannot something be
done to restore them to their former
state or at least make them look
presentable? Cannot our senior
benches as well as our campus be
beautiful?
Band Prospects
The program rendered last Sun
day evening completed the series
of concerts played before State
College audiences during the past
year. At this concert a plea was
made for better support financially.
It was pointed out that the $75 ap
propriated yearly for the support of
the band was not sufficient to prop
erly defray expenses; and that after
the bare running expenses had been
paid, not enough money was left to
buy the seniors the little mark of
aypreciation that it has been cus
tomary to give in the past.
I Arrangements are under way to
give a series of open air concerts
for the entertainment of the stu
dents. Doctor Sparks has consent
ed to have a band stand put up in
the hollow of the front campus,
and short concerts will be given
there in the evenings. The pro
grams for these concerts will be
greatly varied; both classical and
popular music will be rendered.
The prospects for next year are
bright, since several promising men
(are coming to State. It is hoped
I that the services of a retired band
master will be secured for next sea
son who will be in much the same
relation to the instrumental depart
ment that Mr. Robinson is to the
vocal. This casts no reflection
upon the student directors; the
present standard of our band is a
testimonial to the leadership of
MG. L. Sumner, T 4, the present
. director..
Liberal Art Society Meeting,
The Liberal Arts Society held a
very interesting and important
meeting at the Ladies’ Cottage last
Friday night. Dean and Mrs.
Weber were present for the last
time. A program was rendered,
after which the Dean made his
farewell address. The Society en
deavored to show in a small
measure the respect and apprecia
tion the whole school feels for Dr.
Weber. The Freshman Quartette
was present and gave several selec
tions. The following were nomi
nated for office and will be voted
upon at next meeting. For pres
ident, Harris T 6; for vice president,
Miss Wheyland and Miss Good T 6;
for secretary, Miss McNamara, and
for Treasurer, Prof. Barber. Light
refreshments were served and the
party adjourned to meet at 7:30
next Friday, at the home of Dr.
Stecker.
The Penn State regiment will
probably be inspected on May 19
by Captain J. P. Robinson of the
general staff.

Departmental Notes
During the Easter vacation F. W.
Cramer and J. W. Carpenter, under
the direction of Dr. E. C. Wood
ruff, ran a power test on one of the
cars of the Binghamton & Scranton
Railway company. By means of
an ingenious device, constructed by
Dr. Woodruff, continuous curves of
voltage and amperage wer secured
as well as the accompanying speeds
and the time for a run of 16 miles.
The power consumption for any
portion of the line can be secured
from these curves. The test is sim
ilar to tests made at t}ie University
of Illinois, where a special car has
been constructed for the purpose-
This test was made on an ordinary
car running under scheduled speed
with passengers, so that the condi
tions of the test were actual operat
ing conditions.
Professor J. A. Moyer lectured
before the Connellsville Y. M. C- A.
on Thursday evening, May 7, on
the subject of “Latest Improve
ments in Steam Turbine Machin
ery”.
Mr. Willis Whited, Bridge Engi
neer of the State Highway Depart
ment, spoke before the Senior En
gineering Convocation on Friday,
May 8. His subject was "Some
Unsolved Problems of Engineering
Science”.
Eaglesmere
All the problems of our life
should be faced in our best mo
ments. Strain and stress in the fre
quently unnatural conditions of our
modern life do not make fer clear
thought and for clear decision.
The necessity for thought and de
cision on the part of every college
man is very plain.
The ten days spent at a student
conference should put a man at his
best. The life is regular and natur
al. There is recreation and the
best of fellowship. There is lead
ership of the finest quality.
The program proposes to open
up in the fairest way the moral
problems of the student, the intel
lectual basis and practical applica
tion of Christianity, and the press
ing function of the choice of a life
work.
“Doc” Crawford and "Pete”
Weigle spoke Thursday evening at
the weekly meeting of the Philadel
phia Society at Princeton. About
150 men attended the meeting.
