May 12. 1915 The season of class elections is at hand College Man’s and once more we Franchise a re remined of the lack of interest of some men. Just like party elections there is a large class of men who do not exercise the privilege of their franchise. Class meeting after class 'meeting, election after election, a large portion of the class, usually fifty to sixty per cent, are content to attend the amusements in town and return to their quarters without approach ing the the scene of the meeting. The interest that a man takes in his class may be used as a means for determining his interest in the col lege as a whole. If such men were deprived of this privilege they would feel that they were terribly mistreated yet having the privilege they fail to use it. An election to office carries with it the confidence of the class in the man. But the confidence, if measured by the percentage of those who vote, is very small. Every mtn in college will be call ed upot shortly to make his choice for class officers. In spite of this editorial a large number will go on in their same uninterested way but remember if you are one of them you are building up a habit which is responsible for the existence of our machine ridden politics. “Even those Eaglesmere who expect to end their days in Its Opportunity a construction camp may some time have to run the bluff of cul ture in a drawing room”. The man who wrote thus is a college student in one of the big eastern colleges. College bred men throughout the country recognize the prime im portance of culture and refinement as a real asset to every college graduate. Doubtless one of the best opportunities offered for such training lies in meeting men from various institutions. The purpose of the Eaglesmere conference is largely that of bringing men togeth er for the exchange of ideas. Primarily, of course, its function is religious, but in addition to this it offers a fine opportunity to broaden the intellectual and cultural horizon of every man who attends. More over, it offers recreation of a rare sort. In the athletic contests the leading college athletes of the country compete. In short, the chance to attend the Eaglesmere conference is one -that comes to every Penn State man to acquire the qualities which characterize the true gentleman, and which'brand .him as “a college man”. That the custom of Honor electing honor men in Elections the senior class, which originated with the class of 1914, has been continued this year is a cause for congratulations. Only ore man can be senior presi dent and the most efficient work for the college is done in the senior year. The men foremost in the rank of workers should be given some award and the best methods found to date is the honor elections. SENIOR HONOR ELECTIONS Mathers, Cranston and Lamb Selected. At the senior class meeting held last Wednesday evening, for the election of honor men, J.R. Mathers was elected spoon man, H. V. Cranston barrel man; and Levi L. Lamb,"cane man. At the next meeting the 1915 alumni secretary will be elected, and the winners of the John W. White scholarships will be decided.

Preparations for Hobart Game After a week’s rest the lacrosse team started practice today for the game with Hobr rt here on May 22j Before the Penn game the team had been practicing continously for over two months and the hard training was beginning to tell on the men. The Hobart team which opens the local season next week in lacrosse is one of the strongest teams out of professionalism in the lacrosse game and a fast game is certain. Repair of Senior Benches The senior benches on the front campus will be repaired temporarily by the college administration. These benches were given by the members of the class of 1910 who will return in June for their fifth annual reunion. It is hoped on their return that they will make some effort to have them replaced by benches of a more permanent nature. Sophomore Class Meeting. The sophomore class elected a debating committee which will confer with the committees of the other classes concerning the prices and designs of the medals for the winning debaters in the interclass debates. Freshmen Reporters Six men from the freshman class have been chosen as reporters for the Collegian. The men selected in this capacity are: H. E. Barron, H. H. Burrell, A. H. Coon, D. M. Creswell, C.
