Member of luiorcollegluto >«M»pupur AssuUaUuu IUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1920 THE SIXTEENTH MILESTONE With tins issue the COLLEGIAN begins, its. sixteenth volume, namely, its sixteenth year ot publication, From a small papei, supplying the needs ot a small student body, tne publication has, at vatious stages, made great strides lorwaid, cnanges resulting m the size, quality ot material presented and quuntity ot demand in ac cord with the constant growth ot Penn State. Ever since its iounu ing the paper has been published weekly, the lust tew >ears have seen marked progicss. the COLLEGIAN, begun to grow. A weekly issue ot toui pages then begun to be too small it grew to be a ,six page papei, with nuincious interspersings ol eight-pagers, Finally, however, it was deemed necessary to provide more trequent publica tion and it is with this issue that the COLLEGIAN begins ns lirst year as a senu-weekly paper. As has ever been the policy in the past, this publishing board will continue to provide an nonest, uuoiuscd, and trutmul report ol student and college activities. We shail strive to make each issue a little better than the previous one in ouj en deavor to make the PENN STAIE COLLEGIAN an active part in the college hie ol every man and woman under the Blue and White's s\yay, not only tor tins year but for years to come, when the papei will finally have passed iroin a seim-weckly or tri-weekly attair into a live daily. However, in order to fulfill our desires as a semi-weekly publica tion, wc must have the support ol the students, faculty and aiumm. Ihere is no denying the lact that printing expenses have risen pro portionately with the high prices attached to other commodities, j In addition the paper will be in the hands ol subscribers, not once a week, but twice a week. Thus it is that we feel we are not asking too much when we ask the subscribers to pay a rate whihe is but double what it wus last year. In return we arc supplying them with twice the material as last year. '1 he paper is published for the bene fit of the-jftfeUutyi Jnculty and alumni and those who benefit thereby should support it. - ' ' Furthermore, the place which the PENN STATE COLLEGIAN occupies in the Public Ledger competition contest in the lntei-collcgi atc Newspapei Association will be determined largely by the qumbei ol student and alumni subscriptions Penn State has never enjoyed a student subscription list more than fifty per cent while other col lege papers, much smalller m sue while greater in cost, have been near the one hundred mark. Penn State students, support your of ficial senu-weekly student publication! WELCOME HACK 'lo every member of the incoming class of 1924, to every mem ber ol the new two-year agricultural class, to every special student, to each one entering here this year with advaned standing, and last but by far not* least to every Penn State man and woman who returns to the Alma Alaater this sixty-sixth year of her administration, the PENN S'IATE COLLEGIAN extends a most hearty welcome. Those of us who have been here during war times, those who have returned since, have passed through interesting days under the Blue and White. Last year was considered by all as the most won derlul year the college had ever witnessed. Penn State teams were remarkably superior in all sports. Ihe iuct that but eight contests were lost in over hall a hundred presented a record to be equalled by none. 'lhe rapid strides made in student activities, the remarkable improvements which the students pledged themselves to fulfill, all tend to place a ring of glory about the activities of the college which arc long to be remembered by all who participated in them. However, it is lelt by many that this year will be even greater than was last. Penn State started going forward at a rapid rate and is increasing her speed right ulong Ihe wonderful changes which have been brougnt about on New Beaver FieULarc attest to the fact. Ihe people of the state are learning more each day of this wonderful state college of theirs. Year by yeai the number of applications for entrance increase and if it were only possible, Penn State would at present be accommodating a student body of almost five thousand. Yet we led sure that in the future she shall reach this mark and then inpidly eclipse it. The student body this year reaches the 3200 mark and must be content to remain there while ovei twelve hundred boys and girls throughout this state and from others must seek collegiate instruction at other institutions or receive none because Penn State, their desire, cannot accommodate them Undoubtedly something must and will be done. The college must receive more state support and revenues from other sources so that the sons and daughters of the state may avail themselves of the opportunity of receiving training here. We trust it will not be long in coming. The townspeople have finally organized themselves that they may help in solving the serious housing problems which confront them and the college. The Cham ber of Commerce organization is the finest thing which has ever been promoted here. It will, in time, through its agencies and influences, place State College in a position to be readily accessible from all points by rail, it will finally provide adequate housing facilities for students and faculty and visitors, and it will make the town itself a beauty spot for Pennsylvanians to visit. Then Penn State will have come into her ownl Athletically, this should be another great year for the Blue and White. The varsity teams, while scnously handicapped by the loss of veteran stars, will maintain their high standard by the influx of newer, eager men, desirous of upholding the glory of old Penn State. Wc hope for another championship football team, another wonderful basketball team, another wrestling aggregation to grapple for us the coveted honors upheld for the past three years, and so on through the list. We look forward to the installation of the mass athletics plan and its- culmination in a student body where everyone plays, a time when the Centre County school will be a shining example to all col leges, universities and schools in this country. • Yet there arc other matters which do not present so favorable a light. One is the Honor System. For years the manner in which this system has been carried on and the student attitude toward it have been eyesores for those who faithfully believe in it.- As has ever been the ense, the trouble lies in the inability which men seem to have to report their fellow when they know that he is in ihe'wrong and that LIL 103, T,IU CnßUah Novol Dr * they arc in the wiong by allowing him to be so. This type of double ut. 112, Ninieenth Century duplicity is often difficult to understand.
