FRIDAY, APRIL, 19 1918 GET THAT FRESHMAN! When Doctor Sparks made his plea for new men at the mass meeting last week, he struck what should be the keynote of n cam paign in which every loyal Penn State man is expected to take a part. The "Get-a-Freshman" idea was introduced to the COLLEGIAN some weeks ago and the movement has been growing in force ever since. It crystallized in the words of Doctor Sparks last week. It the present year has been a crucial one for Penn State, nest year promises to be even more so Many of the upperclassmen are sure not to return and it is also probable that a large percentage of the Sophomores will fail to register next September., In this con nection, we would like to urge cvrey man who can do so to return, for Penn State will need a full quota in the fall. But particular emphasis must be laid upon increasing the numbers of the incoming class and it is in this connection that every Penn State man can help. A large Freshman class last fall served to keep up the enrollment of the college, and a similar class next fall can not tail to have the same ethect So, it is up to every student and Alumnus to get busy—take a few minutes and devote them to the interests of your Alma Mater The best method to pursue is to make a thorough canvass of the high and preparatory schools of Pennsylvania We believe that nearly every school is represented at Penn State and we are under the impression that these representatives can carry considerable weight among the members of the various Senior classes in these schools Ihe only requisite is a little time and perhaps, still less trouble Lantern slides arc available for those who can - arrange to exhibit them in the schools. But even this is not essential It is very easy to gain permission to address the Senior Class at your school and they will be only too glad to listen to you Many of them are debating the question of going to college and your first task will be to convince —ahem of the advisability of such a step. After that, it is not hard for a Penn State man to talk Penn State. We are convinced that this institution "'neath the vale of old Mount Manny" is the best college in the country What other argu ment can offset that conviction' And in order to maintain the high standard of this college, we should have, yes, we must have, n large Freshman class ne',t fall. So let's get busy, men of Penn State, and spread the gospel throughout the state. "Every man to get a Fresh man" is the motto, and let us add, "Stick Together, Penn State"' JUST A GLANCE BACKWARD The end of another college year has rolled around—a much shortened year, in truth, but one that has been overcrowded with its problems and tremendous responsibilities Within a few short days now, another Serum Class will have crossed the threshold -of life and will have gone forth to take its place in the world—a world torn and battered by the great struggle that is raging across the water. And while we are sorry to see these men take their departure from our halls and campus, nevertheless, we are not downhearted as we sce them go, for we arc confident that wherever they may be, whatever they may be doing, they will always be Penn State men. And so we bid them Godspeed on their Journey. Now, it remains for those of us who are remaining behind to carry on the work which has been left to us. It is up to us who will return ne\t fall to carry Penn State through another year, if possible a more successful one than the one Just concluded This college has practically completed its first war-time college year, and it is only proper that at this time, we take a glance backward and review what the year has brought forth. Last fall, the question was repeatedly asked, "Can Penn State Come Back" And at that tune, we must admit that indications pointed strongly to a negative reply. True, the enrollment was not so tar below the standard of former years, but then, consider this enrollment Apprommately one half of the four year students were enrolled in the incoming Freshman class, while the Seniors and Juniors —the men who are so necessary to maintain stability—were, to a great degree, in the service of the United States! _ Naturally, under these conditions, it was to be expected thr student government and student organization would be disorganized, and to a certain extent, this was true. Many of the class officers and a Pup.. percentage of the members of Student Council failed to ieturn to college and new men had to be elected to their positions. Fortunately for Penn State, the bulk of the men chosen proved worthy successors to those whose places they filled. But the burden of responsibility was placed squarely upon the shoulders of the Freshmen and it may be said in favor of the class of 19.21 that as a class, it has proven itself worthy of Penn State. Given mole leeuay than ever before, there were very few instances where Freshmen abused the confidence that was placed in them, and needless to say, the guilty ones are those who will never again be placed in positions of trust As is befitting the hints, the year has been a military one and meat strides hove been mode along military lines. While these arc discussed in detail elsewhere, we would call attention to the special student classes and also to the training of men from outside the col lege. The shot tcning of the college year has been a military measure and the releasing of men For agricultural and industrial work is a distinct service to the government. Another outstanding feature of the present year has undOubtedly been the strengthening of friendship and fellowship among the stu dents. In this connection, the "Get-Together" and "Stick-Together" campaigns have been highly successful and the year has shown a re turn of that old Penn State spirit which has animated the student body in former years. Legislatively, the year has been devoid of features Minor changes have been made to the interclass constitution and to the budget sys tem and amendments to the Honor System have bccn proposed, but the latter have not been adopted One of the most important features has been the adoption of a new system of selecting cheer leaders and song leaders. This is by popular choice of the student body and it received its initial tryout at the Athletic Association elections held Lust week. Unfortunately, the year has not been free from disturbing events and these have tended to bring out the need of new legislation next year. The Honor System has come m for considerable criticism and it is apparent that some changes must be made in its provisions next =II C. S. IV) koff IVoman's Editor M=l IZ!=fl Business Manager Advc Using Mannar Ch culation 'Manager R. N Wilson TO fall. The interclass constitution has also come in for its share of criticism and several changes in that document should be considered by the new Student Council. But regardless of these problems, who can gainsay the fact that Penn State has "come back°" The college has retained athletics and the majority of its annual events have been held as in the past. Edu cation has been continued despite the great state of unrest caused by the war, and now, at a war-time Commencement, the smallest Senior Class in several years is to go forth to represent Penn State in the world. Penn State has "stuck together" and let each and every one of us vow, that with God's help, she will continue to stick to gether in the future!
