Wednesday, March 21, 1917 FOR EARNEST CONSIDERATION The necessity that has brought about the combining of the Senior and Junior classes in donating a fitting memorial to the college, is made evident to the most doubtful when the true facts are presented with regard to the eventual success and feasibility of the proposed plan. The matter has been considered wisely by competent men, and in view of the existing conditions the combined assistance of the two classes in building a gateway at the Pugh street entrance to the campus is the only logical means by which either class can hope to erect any kind of imposing and lasting memorial to which their mem bers can point with pride in after years. Naturally, the question of available money for a memorial was the first to be taken up the Senior committee in charge. According to custom, the payment for the Senior memorial each year has been taken from the moneys remaining from the student damage fund In the past few years there has been a steady reduction in this fund due to the fact that the damage deposit of each man has been very much reduced. This year the fund available for the class of 1917 to erect a suitable memorial amounts to about $7OO, which is less than half of the sum available last year, and less than one-third of the amount expended by the class of 1915 This sum is rather insignifi cant when compared with the funds that erected Senior memorials in the past four or five yea'rs The question now arising is—Why is there not more money avail able this years There is a two-fold answer. In the first place, since Dr. Sparks has been made president of the college, the damage de posit has been reduced from $9.00 to $l.OO a year per student, reducing proportionately the amount of money available for each Senior class memorial. This reduction in the fee has been made for the direct benefit of the students. And in the second place, the general attitude of the student body in its respect to college property annually creates a heavy drain upon this fund. Of,these two answers to the problem, the former is to be commen d" upon, while the latter represents a bad feature that can,: easily b improved upon It is hardly conceivable that $l5OO worth lif dam age can be done in a year's time by a Penn State student body, yet it is evidently true. The breaking of windows, of class room furniture and the destruction of college property in general must all be paid for out of this damage fund. Petty thefts. delibertitely planned and executed on the part of the students each year cause the fund to shrink to the extent of several hundred dollars A timely thought upon the ideals of Penn State's Honor System by the perpetrators of these petty thefts would doubtless cause a reduction in their number and extent. However, with the smallness of their working capital settled upon, the next stop on the part of the Senior class was to find a suitable project that would not only bear the significance of the gift, but would be useful as well as ornamental to the college. Immeadiately it was seen that nothing in the way of a suitable memorial, one in keeping with the gifts of recent classes, and one that would be of great benefit to the college, could possibly be erected with the small sum available. A special assessment on the class to raise more funds was out of the question. Then the idea was suggested that the Junior class be asked to cooperate as the most logical solution to the problem This was approved by the Senior class, and the aid of the Juniors was sought and given, should the proposed plans be carried through Further assistance has been offered the two classes. For some time past Dean Pond has been collecting a fund for a suitable memor ial to be erected to the honor of those Penn State alumni who served their country during the Civil War. This fund he is willing to turn over to the classes to assist in the erection of the campus gateway, proposing to install suitable tablets on the finished product as a per manent commemoration to the soldier-alumni. With the funds of these three organizations available, it is readily seen that an imposing gift can be made to the college Since nothing can be done in the way of extending the front cam pus wall west of Allen street on account of the non-imposing presence of the railroad buildings, the proposed gateway at the Pugh street entrance would be a most appropriate gift, at this time. If present plans for the growth of the college carry, the usage of this entrance to the campus will rival that of the Allen street entrance. The question has come up concerning the proper recognition of the classes in the dohation of a combined memorial. This can be accoun ted for in several ways, particularly in the dedicational exercises. The combined feature can be used, where each class can claim an equal share in the erection of the memorial, and provide suitable plates es tablishing that fact, or each class can formally dedicate one side of the gateway erecting its individual dedicatory plate. These arc details that can be decided upon at a later date should the plan meet with the final approval of all parties concerned, and there are few reasons why it should not The entire movement may be summoned as the most logical step to be taken when everything is well considered even though there may be some undesirable features attached to it It has been brought about by necessity and is worthy of the most serious deliberation on the pert of the upper classes in their respective meetings within the next few days. The time of year has now come when the conduct of the students will determine to a large extent the possibilities of a beautiful cam pus. Right now is a very good time for all of us to "keep off the grass," and give Mother Nature a chance to develope a pleasing back ground for thecollege. Penn State's campus has a natural setting, and if it is given the proper treatment by the student body, it is capable of becoming one of the most beautiful in the country, yet it has by no means ever reached that stage. "A Pathless Campus!" Let that be our motto for the next few weeks and for all the time, for that matter. Nothing mars the front campus so much as the several paths that have been cut through it by students in the spring and fall months. It may appear to be a small matter in the minds of many but the ultimate results are far from being so small. Let us all be Freshmen for the next few weekes, at least, and keep away from the struggling blades of grass that our campus may be more attractive to ourselves and our visitors who gain much of their impression of Penn State on her general appearance. Let us heed that little word "Please" wherever we see it about the campus. It is a silent request that does not take much trouble to gnawer. At any Editor-In-Chief ALtooglng Editor Senior ASISOCillth I=l Business Manager Advertising Manager Circulation Manager PLEASE rate, let us beheve that "the longest way 'round is the shortest way home." It will pay in the end. A rare treat is to be offered next Tuesday night when President Sparks will give his lecture on "Old Hickory" Jackson in the Old Chapel. Dr Sparks is know from coast to coast as a most entertain ing lecturer on historical subjects, and every Penn State man should take advantage of this opportunity. The proposed plan of the Student Council to find a suitable display room for Penn State's athletic trophies is a most excellent one. Half of the student body is unaware that so large a collection as Penn State affords is really in emstance. The College Orchestra is to be complimented upon its excellent performance last Sunday afternoon. We are all very much indebted to both the band and orchestra for their courtesies during the past winter. Penn State can rightfully be proud of both. Is class spirit really on the decline? Twenty-five years ago the Freshman class held a most successful banquet. Our present Sopho more class has twice failed in a similar attempt in one year.
