CONCERNING THE INTER-CLASS BUDGET SYSTEM
With the matter of amendments to the inter-class constitution in
the foreground, an opportunity is offered to discuss briefly a point of
weakness in the inter-class budget system and to suggest a plan for
its elimination The point of weakness referred to is the fact that
the present budget system contains no provision whereby a class bud
get may receive the approval of those whom it most directly concerns.
As matters stand to-day the budget for any class is simply drawn up
by the class finance committee in conjunction with the inter-class
treasurer and then put into effect regardless of the approval or disap
proval of the class itself.
Now it hardly seems probable that in drawing up the inter-class
budget system, those in charge had the fixed intention of preventing
a class from approving its own budget, although such is the condition
that prevails to-day. It is far more probable that this point was over
looked and, in consequence of this belief, the Collegian would take
occasion to suggest that there be added to the budget system an arti-
Lie containing the provision that each class budget must receive the
approval of tne class in question before going into actual effect.
It is of course very likely that any great number of cases would
ever arise wherein a class would desire alterations in the budget as it
had been drawn up by its own finance committee and the inter-class
treasurer For all that, however, the funds counted upon for class
revenue must come from the individual members of the class, and it is
only just that those individual members be allowed to sanction the
expenditures wfhich have been provided for in the budget
In adding such an article to the budget system it could be specified
that the senior, junior and sophomore budgets for the coming year
should be presented to the different classes at the next to the last
meeting of the present college year At this meeting the budget
would be formally approved by the class or, in case of controversy,
returned to the finance committee fru: correction. Action on the cor-i
•-•" .get could then be
, the freshfnan budget, ulijk i . "the present ruling, is not made
rhn oponrog of the semester, class action could be
taken upon it immeadiately after its completion.
In summing up the matter few words arc necessary. The adoption
of an article similar to that outlined in the preceding paragraphs
would eliminate what is now an extremely weak point in the present
budget system and, most important of all, would remove all cause for
question as to inconsistencies in the preparation of class budgets.
LITTLE TIME-BUT BIG RESULTS
The plan of advertising Pcnn State that is now being pushed by
the presidents of the various county clubs and others, is deserving of
the unlimited support of every student, even to the extent of a great
sacrifice That the college is in immediate need of aid is a foregone
conclusion. It can be seen that all that is asked amounts to very
little attention on the part of the greater number of students. When
the time conies, hear the facts, and the execution of your share will
take but an hour of your time And what is that in comparison with
the success of the movement and the establishment of Penn State on
the plane where she ought to be and can be?
It is especially urged that the underclassmen enter the scheme with
some show of enthusiasm, for theirs will be the greater benefit,
the need of support from the upperclassmen is self evident, for all
would be proud to claim a bigger and better Penn State as their Alma
Mater. Few undergraduates realize the time and energy that the
alumni are putting into the fight for a bigger apropriation. With
only a sentimental interest in Penn State big men in all sections are
giving all they possibly can in support of the movement. If they
can do it, we students can too. When it is all over and Penn State
has been given her rightful position in the Commonwealth, let it be
said that the victory came from no others than Penn State's student
body And unless we do show the state legislators that a bigger ap
propriation means everything to Penn State's future, they will doubt
less believe that we are uninterested in our future welfare and fail to
give the measure their best support.
A STORY OF THE HONOR SYSTEM
In one of the "finals" last spring a senior observed one of his class
mates "cribbing." What he saw was direct violation of the Honor
System of the college; and his duty as it flashed impetlingly through
his mind, was to caution his classmate- But, nobody in the room was
conscious of what he saw; and it would be a simple matter to say
nothing at all Then too, they were friends. The conscience, and
the courage, and the sense of duty and love of honor of this senior
soon prompted him to act, however. The experience was for the
moment unpleasant; but several days later he found that his honest
response to that challenge in the examination room that day, had
completely changed another man's idea of life, and had brought him
into higher esteem in the eyes of that man.
This story is true in detail; and there is more which might be added.
Within a week there will begin another season of final examinations.
There may appear again somewhere the man whose concept of the
principle of honor is incomplete and distorted; or whose _conscience
is seared and whose backbone is weak. It may be the man who has
dr..lit,erately planned to "crib", or it may be the man who under pres
sure and strain, feels forted to act dishonest You may be ono who
will observe him. What will you do?
ALBERT LEONARD DORWART
There was layed away last Thursday afternoon, in a little cemetery
on a hill, down in one of our Pennsylvania towns, the body of a Penn
State alumnus. As an undergraduate, less than a year ago, he was
known as a man who had made "the other fellow" a part of his life.
With this simple, yet noble purpose in mind, he sought, on gradua
tion, to go on dying to serve others.
T,h_s,. ',We'bf "Abbic" 139rwart has been taken away—just why, we
cannot hope to understand. But his influence will continue as a liv
ing memorial, in the lives of the men here whom he had lifted up to
higher planes. And we pause here for a moment to honor, as best we
can, him whose life as a student was one from which every under
graduate might profit; who may soon be forgotten, but whose work
will go on in others. ,
THE GREATEST NEED
OF PENN STATE
To the Editor of the Collegian:
The greatest need of Penn
State is money. It is not the
money Itself in which interest
centers, but rather in what it
represents and in its power to
buy those things which Penn
State needs.
If:the college authorities had
the necessary funds with which
to work what an Ideal institu
tion of learning Penn State
could be made? Its location is
unexcelled. Removed from the
noise and turmoil of a city its
student body is given an oppor.
tunity to breathe the pure,
fresh air of the mountains of
Pennsylvania, to enjoy nature
in a manner:that is:impossible
in the average urban college.
and to live its life in an atm..
phere of peace, quiet:and health
fulness
If, then, sufficientifunds were
available, new' buildings: could
be erected such as lalsocial hall.
dormitories and an ormorY.
More equipment and better
equipment could be installed
and a larger and better faculty
could be maintained.
Penn State can not get alt the
money which it should really
have. That is impossible. It
can, however, get a great deal
more than it has been getting.
Other less populous and less
wealthy states are lending far
greater support to their state
colleges than is Pennsylvaniato
hers. The legislature has only
to be awakened to its neglected
opportunity of making Penn
State the best college in the
United States.
If every student in the college
would resolve to tell all his
friends what Penn State really
is, and how much better it could
be made if only the legislators
would' give it their full measure
of support, I believe that it would
not be very long before it would
receive an appropriation in
keeping with its needs. With
this picture in mind, then, let
all of us co•operate in making
It a reality.

The leather market is ! Prices for
shoes are taking spectacular advances! Look at the
facts squarely and listen to reason. Read every
word of this story and you will know WHY.
Europe has stripped America of its leather. With not half
enough for ourselves—the demand from across the water is for
MORE, MORE, MORE! You can appreciate how desperate the situ. -
atinn is when we tell you that a foreign government recently laid
down FIVE MILLION DOLLARS IN COLD CASH—before one of
the biggest tanners in the United States and said: "GIVE US AS
MUCH SOLE LEATHES FOR THAT AS YOU CAN!" Mind you,
they didn't specify HOW MUCH they wanted for their money—but
AS MUCH AS IT WOULD GET FOR THEM ' And now they are
trying to DUPLICATE that order—and CAN'T. The quantity is
SIMPLY NOT TO BE HAD
In order to get even HALF enough leather for their OWN needs,
American shoe manufacturers have had to pay as HIGH a price for
1
leather to the leather manufacturers as THE NATIONS OF EUROPE
WERE WILLING TO PAY 1
And you see whit has happened.
The shoe manufacturer simply HAD to pass the increases in price
to the wholesaler, the wholesaler in turn passed it on to the dealer,
and the dealer passed it on to YOU—the CONSUMER I
What do you think of that? It's got you thinking—hasn't it?
And you know it's the TRUTH because you ALREADY PAID THE
PRICE I
Now then, see what is-taking place in the realm of MEN'S shoes.
Manufacturers and Retailers are frankly telling you in the magazines
and newspapers that they can't give you at S 4 00 what they gave you
in the past, and that you have to pay $5, SG, S 7 or more per pair.
And what they say is TRUE! Shoes that you once paid $4.00
,I
for, are now $7.00. And pretty soon they'll be $BOO
Let us urge upon you not to put off your visit a single day, but
to COME HERE TOMORROW. If you can't buy more than one pair
tomorrow, we gladly lay aside one or two extra pairs for you for
future delivery.
