Office hours, 420 to L2O of cry afternoon except Saturday WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 1918 A FINE OPPORTUNITY Among the majority of the people of the United States there is a great misconception as to the value of a college to a man and as to the value of a college man to the community This is due largely to the fact that the college men Corm such a small fraction of the total population of this country, and also to the fact that only a few people really get to know and understand college men. The average citizen of this country believes that a college man is more or less of a nuisance and that n college is a substantial place to spend both time and money and to go the "pace that kills." Of course, those of us who really know realize that this impres sion is entirely false—that colleges are one of the essential elements of the nation and that college men are the selected individuals who arc to become leaders in th world We believe that those who have come in contact with a college ars also aware of the value of such an institution and we may be sure that they will vouch for college men But it is with those who know nothing of the real ideals and purposes of a college—by far the larger number—that we have to deal. And the men from the National Army who are coming here this week to take a course in training for airplane work belong almost entirely to this latter class They are men who for the most part have never learned to know a college or have never seen it in its working clothes Their advent furnishes us with an excellent opportunity to strike a decisive blow for Penn State and for the sake of all the col leges in the United States The impression that these men form here is bound to be transmitted by them, whether good or bad. It is up to us, men of Penn State! We have here a golden oppor tunity to show these visitors what a college really is doing and to prove to them that we, as students, are in reality preparing ourselves for the great work that is lying before us By a steady applica tion to our work, we can show them that we have a purpose as sin cere as their own; by courteous treatment, we can prove that above all else, the college man is a gentleman; and by maintaining the dem .... ocratic spirit of Penn State, we can disprove the theory that all col lege men are snobs. It's up to us, Penn State. Let's make godd! MOVING-UP DAY During the past week, since the announcement was made that Moving-Up Day would be held on April 13, there has been consider able comment as to the advisability of such a day being held more than a week before the closing of college. We believe that such com ment has been made by those who have taken the plan at its face value and have not investigated into the merits of the case, rather than through any desire to "knock" the idea Just on general principles. The idea of a Moving-Up Day was not originated at State Col lege but it merely follows a custom that has already been worked out in other colleges The purpose of the day is evidenced by its name— a day when each class shall move up a rung on the ladder of educa tion and shall assume the duties and dignity of the preceding class Instead of each class waiting until the following fall to automatically assume the succeeding title, Moving-Up Day is the official time when the title is assumed. Apparently, the main objection is to the releasing of the Fresh men fi om their customs, or at least this is the only objection that we have yet heard. However, if we consider this matter carefully it will readily be seen that there is really no objection even on that score. In former years, Penn State has been almost the only college that retained Freshman customs until the final day of college. At many of the colleges, the first-year nien arc permitted to shed their "clinks" and other customs at least a month before the closing of collage Yet Moving-up Day will only come about a week before Commencement. Moreover, although a Freshman may shed his customs on Mov mg-Up Day, nevertheless, he is still subordinate to the other three classes and any abusing of his privileges may still be punished by the Tribunal But the chief argument in favor of the day is that a Freshman who undergoes a week of Sophomore privileges cannot help but feel a closer bond of union between himself and the college; and having had a taste of the sweetness of liberty, he will be ready, yes, even anxious, to return to Penn State in the fall The same may also be said for the members of the Junior and Sophomore classes. And finally, a week as a Sophomore this spring will go a long way toward making that Sophomore far more tolerable when Ile returns next fall.

No better answer to the question as to whether the alumni are behind the college could have been found than the following telegram which was received by Graduate Manager R. H. Smith about a week ago Tom Harman, Sec'y This merely goes to show that even though the Allumni are not able to always support the teams in person, their thoughts are with the wearers of the Blue and White and they anxiously await the results of the games. Moral support plays a large part in every victory, and the incident mentioned above is only further proof that the renn State Alumni are all behind he student buily.
