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 *
