What is your duty to Penn State 5 Are you going to vote "Yes”? That issue comes os clearly and as squarely as those presented by Sherwood Eddy in his campaign here. In the past there have been weaknesses m the Honor System. These weaknesses have kept the System from working to its fullest efficiency. The Horor Committee has now submitted to the student body two amendments which will greatly strengthen the organ Shall they pass? . It all depends on YOU. The first amendment is undoubtedly the more important It reads as follows: "If a student detects uny dishonesty in n quiz or examination, the attention of at least one other person shall be called to this mat ter, and then the case shall be corned to the Honor Committee, which shall conduct an investigation Into the same.” This amendment is designed to replace the following clause: "If a student detects any dishonesty m a quiz or examination, he shall at once quietly inform the offending party of the detection. Should the offender persist, the attention of at least one other person, etc." As a few reasons why every one should vote for the amend ment, we'again wish to quote the questions asked a few weeks ago in this column. Do YOU believe that a person who is so low* and so vile as to crib in un examination is deserving of being warned? Do YOU think any one is going to crib uftcr being warned, espec ially when be knows that he is being watched? Do YOU think when a man is brought before the Honor Committee that he will ask for leniency on the ground that he was not warned before he was re ported? Do YOU think that he will be acquitted on the ground that he was not warned?- _ r - An objection hop been raised by ccrtuin students that if a stu dent is reported without his being warned, there' will be "frame-ups” of innocent parties. Personally, wc have enough’faith and confidence in the integrity of our fellow-students and class-mates that wc do" not believo any one of them would stoop to a trick so dirty. Again, we have sufficient faith and confidence in tho Honor Committee to be lieve that it will find a paTty guilty only when he IS guilty, and that, in addition to the evidence furnished by students, it will secure the opinion of th'c instructor and any other evidence which will bear upon the casci as well as taking into consideration the man's past record and attitude toward the college In view of these facts, there fore, it should be realized that the chances of n man’s being "framed" become so small os to be almost infinitesimal Regarding the second amendment, which rends: “Composition- The Honor Committee shall consist of three Seniors, one of whom shall act os chairman; two Juniors one Sophomore. The members and the chairman shall be elected by the Student Council. There must be at least one member on the committee who has served dur ing the preceding year." This amendment differs from tho present section in that the vice-president of the Senior class will no longer automatically become chairman of the Honor Committee. Here, again, wc find an amendment proposed which will lend added strength to-the Honor System. Heretofore, tho Honor Com mittee has been very fortunate in having chairmen, who as vice-presi dents of their classes in their Sensor year, have been strong men and have been peculiarly adapted to lead the committee However, rather than run the risk of some time having at the head of the committee a weak' man who may be elected vice-president of tho Senior class, the Honor Committee has very wisely proposed to allow the Student Council select the chatrman of the committee, as well as the other members of that body Certainly these two amendments are worth while; undoubtedly thoy will add greater strength to the Honor System. Then, for the sake of Penn State, vote "Yes". “SELFISHNESS OR SERVICE" Selfishness or Service? Which will it be 9 For three days Sher wood Eddy put this question to the students of Penn State. He did more than put the message to the students, he offered a living ex ample of unselfish service. Coming as he did from six weeks of in cessant traveling with three addresses every day and broken sleep almost every'night, Sherwood Eddy put forth the best efforts of a tired and worn body for the good of Penn State. When offered some recompense or honorarium, he firmly refused any reward for his strenuous efforts. Truly he was a living example of his teaching of service. Penn State experienced the sensation of straight-forward talks last week-end. Let’s try it once more. What did Sherwood Eddy have for YOU? What did tho Eddy campaign mean in YOUR life? Did you really get something or do you merely think you did? There’s only one conclusive proof that you really got something out of it. If you actually found the reality of Jesus Christ and his teachings as applied to the world today, you can’t help telling others about’it If you aren’t telling folks about it, you merely were carried into think ing you got something. Let’s face up to it nnd sec just what the re sult has been. It still is not too late to get something real. Has yours been a selfish life? Has that other man been a neglected factor in your existence? If he has, wake up and sec that he too has a place in tho sun. If you believe in a better Penn State, you’ll have no difficulty in substituting a life of service for a life of selfishness. Sherwood Eddy’s program included only a life right with self, fellow-man-and God, expressing itself in unstinted service for God to fellow man. "Got off the side lines and into the game." Will you do it s DR. SPARKS’ RESIGNATION After twelve years of faithful service to Penn State, during which time this college has been placed among the ranks of the fore most of the country, Dr. Edwin Eric Sparks has resigned and will retire from active duties of office. During all those years, when Penn State passed through many a crisis,'her president has safely guidod her through the storms and brought her into the haven of a successful cation-famed institution. As hor staunchest friend and admirer, he has been, the center of all movements for her good and for the bet terment of her student bo'dy. Ever the recipient of honors from Penn State men and. women, he has held for each student the love and faith which only the true friend of Penn State can have. Fortu nate it is, indeed, that Dr. Sparks' retirement does not take him from the campus. { V The COLLEGIAN,'on behalf of the entire college, students, alumni and faculty, extends to the retiring president its congratula tions for the magnificent work" already accomplished, and, tn like manner, it expresses the fervent wish that he may enjoy many years of health nnd prosperity and continue his great work for the college, for the advancement of education throughout the world, and'for his faith in the spirit and loyalty of Penn State men and women to their college. -.-.-Editor ............ Assistant Editor Woman's Editor Whenever the Nittnny matmen struggle for supremacy there is always a good turnout of the fairer sex.to watch them carry on. However, when the defenders of the Blue and White appear in a contest at the ring game the exact opposite has heretofore been the case. Why is this? It should be remembered, a boxing meet, as con ducted under inter-collegiate rulings, is not a prize fight.'* There is no reason at all why this sport should receive such unjust discrimi nation Euslnoiis Manager R. L. Parker '2l Bringing boxing, one of the most interesting and scientific of all American sports into the realm of college sports, lifts it to a higher realm in the minds of the athletic loving American people, where it rightly and justly belongs. Boxing is not a sport indebted to the prize ring for its existence, but a sport where the best college spirit and best athletic skill enn be manifested The Penn State-Navy meet at Annapolis was witnessed-by many society women of the surrounding community. It is hoped that a good turnout of the co-eds will be on hand to help cheer the Nittany men to‘victory thin Saturday. ...F. H. Leuschner It is the purpose of this article to bring before the minds of the students the simple things of life about which they know as much as anybody else but which they do not heed until it is brought before them in a forceful manner. This is the time of the year when people are more exposed to colds than any other! season due to the great changes in temperature and the dampness caused by the melting snows. It then behooves each one of us to take as much care ns possible in order that we may be able to shake off the-germs of grippe or flu when they attack us. In order to do this, the ap parently minor details must be watched. Several precautions are listed here which arc simple in their way but easly forgotten and often lead to serious results. After taking a hot shower a cold one should be taken immediately afterwards to close the pores of the skin, dry your hair thoroughly after taking a bnth, change garments as soon as they become wet, wear over-shoes nt all times, dress as warm as possible even though appearances arc not as you would want them, stay out of a draft even a slight one does anything but good, and keep your body healthy at all times by exercise and care REHABILITATION CLUB Thu members of the Rehabilitation Club held u smoker at the Alpha Chi Rho house Monday night of last week, name fifty men being present.

Although power stations have grown to enormous size, with sudden peak loads in some instances reaching as high as 300 and 400% normal rating, the remarkable fact remains that the design of the Westinghouse Roney Stoker ro mams today practically the same as it was thirty-three years ago and that it still retains its firm position in the combustion field. This speaks for the accuracy of'the original design. The Roney stoker.is particularly suitable for steady power demands with moderate overloads, of 25 to 50 per cent and it burns a wide range of fuels satisfactorily. Simple design, low first cost and ease of installation, strongly recommend it for plants of moderate size Over thro* million horsepower have been installed. Industrial expansion, however, has wrought many power-plant practice since 1887. Today mechanical stokers ore called upon to burn everything from high-grade coals down to refuse. They; are qlso called upon to meet the sudden and enormous steaming ca pacities. Hence, two additional stokers were added, and our line now includes the Chain Grate Stoker, particularly adapted to the burning of low-grade, high-ash fuels; and the Un derfeed stoker, which Is unequalled in its ability to handtc the sudden and enormous overload' demands of central station service with the highest degree of efficiency. r* It is a fact of vital importance to the stoker buyer that wc manufacture the general types, because stoker application should be approached with an open mind nnd the stoker . 1 manufacturer should be guided in his recoin-JJ mendations purely by the facts that devolopO from AAtudy of fuel and load requirements. 01 ran wjr Westinghonse Electric and Manufacturing Cp.
