Coach Beadok was pretty well satis

trip was good, it was not as powerful
as it might have been and "Bee has

with the idea of getting the necessary
batting strength. Killinger has always
been a hard slugger and secured three
safe wallops last Saturday, while Be
dunk was rather a weak hitter and his
replacement Jig Koehler assures a more
powerful offense. As usual, the pitcher
for the earning game is in doubt but
the reported strength of the Delaware
nine may-cause Beedek to use Thomas,

OUTING CLUB WILL
TAKE FIRST HIKE SOON
Exact Route of,Hike Has Not Been
,EiecidedQuestion of Cabins
Causes Delay
The Penn State Outing Club is taking
rapid steps toward making a live wire
organization. One of the latest featur
es which the clubtis going to put across
Is a combined hike movement. = The
first of these-hikes will be held on April
twentyzthird, when-a large group will
take an easy.jaunt across the moun
tains, while later, - about the first' or
second of May. a group will go on a
long distance trip. _
The trip on Aprlh twenty third will be
an easy tramp over the mountains to
acquaint the students with the sur
rounding territory. The hikers will
leave the college at noon, Saturday and
return late Sunday night, stopping ov
ernight at a cabin.
The erect route of the hike has not
yet been - decided by the committee in
charge Two possible routes are now
under consideration. but It Is impos
sible to know which ono will be follow
ed due to the fact that the Outing Club
has been unable to get a cabin in Bear
Meadows tcpvard Stone Mountain If
'the committee cart get a cabin.' to that
locality the hike will take in Bear Men
down In case a new cabin cannot be
secured before the twenty-third the
hikers' will remain' at the cabin at
Charter Oak Saturday night and.then
circle Bear Meadows and come up back
of the Fourth Mountain thru the Miller
Plantation. the largest pine scrub . Our
tortes of itslcind, - returning by the way
of little Flat Five Lower.
Due to the fact that this Is the fire
sermon It will be Impossible for each
hiker to cook his own meals. The com
mittee has made arrangements to pro
vide the substantial part of the meals
while the follows can provide anything
else they wish. What the rheal wit
cdnalst of, and the - exact route to be
followed will be published neat nook
'ln the 'COLLEGIAN.
The entire distance , covered will not
be more than thirty - five miles The
,hike will consist of merely an easy
jaunt over the mountains and should
prove a source of great pleasure and
'benefit to anyone who has not seen
this section of country.
READING MINISTER '
IMPRESSES AT CHAPEL
Rev. Arthur Cassebn Pictures
Rcilsorable.Coriiitious,,Esh4ipg
in 'Far East
Reverend Arthur Casselmanf - pastor
of , the, Calvary Reformed Church, of
Reading, delivered two interesting ser
mons at the chapel-services last Sun
day morning He spoke in a simple
and- enlightening way cOncernlng the
education and manner' of living of the
the people in China and India as com
pared with conditions existing in our
own country. He also told of the won
derful progress made by American
mle
sionarles in heathen countries and the
modern methods used to secure the best
results.
Reverend Casselman said that while
he was in China, he had an opportunity
to visit the Canton Christian College
where VlDaddy . Groff 'O7, one of- Penn
State's missionaries, is head of the Ag
ricultural School He spoke very fav
orably of 5100 college and the work they
are doing' to aid In the develaprrient of
China He Impressed upon his bearers
the ;Importance of China as a whole
and also told of the agricultural work
being done there by the Chinese people
under the supervision of American mis
sionaries. Mr. Casselman spoke of
meeting a young American missionary
at the Christian College, at Nancin
China, who, although not preaching the
gospel, was doing' a great Christian
work by teaching the natives to plant
trees, Irrigate the land, and raise crops,
thereby enabling them to send more
of their boys and girls to - mission col
leges - where they could learn about'
Christ This, he -pointed out, is the
most , modern and most successful
method of s glving the Chinese people
an opportunity toltnow of Christianity
The method first employed was to send
missionaries abroad for the solo per
il,se of preaching the gospel to the
heathen. Then the -American people
began sending doctors who supervised
the erection hospitals and insane
asylums, and 'now the inissiomiries who
are working in heathen countries are
teaching the natives how to till tho
sell, Plant trees, prevent - diseases, in
fact anything which toads to - make
thme.better men and women, motally,
morally, and physically -
Dr Casselman also spoke of how
mubh we should appreciate our own
country which Is the best and greatest
country ha the world. He said we ob
ject to high prices and other conditions
existing in America which we think
are not right, but we should remember
that we aro very fortunate as compar
ed with the people in India and Mina
In conditions hate been so bad
that the people were forced to eat roots
while in India they ate the bark frpm
the trees.

Suggestion of Separate Commit
tees for Each School Offered
For Student Consideration
The fate of the Honor' System is In
the hands of the student body. It is
up to eaLh student to decide for himself
whether the honor system 'should be
abolished or should be retained and
amended An honor system without
the backing of the student body Is a
detriment to the college and to the
student We will all have to—admit
that our present system Is not working,
but the question to decide is whether
It is beyond repair • We' believe that
the present system has sorted a useful
purpose, but Is unsatisfactory In' many
respects. A return to the proctor sys
tem could be a calamity, not only - as
it tt cold affect chat should be the chief
aim of a college education—the devel
opment of manhood, but also' as it
could affect the reputalon of the col
lege. THE HONOR SYSTEM SHOULD
BE STRENGTHENED, NOT ABAND
ONED To this end the Honor Com
mittee suggests the following modifi
cations
(I) Fledge. The - honor system
should apply to all class work not mere
ly to certaln written examinations It
should foster the spirit of honesty and
!air ploy In all college relationships.
On matriculation the student should be
asked to sign a pledge' that ho Nlll
neither give zoor receh e assistance while
In the class room, this' to Include reci
tations, daily quizzes, and-final exam
inations The pledge should also - In
clude the statement. "I agree to report
to the Honor Committee any infringe
ments of the system that I observe...
Thie pledge should be binding through
out his college course
(2) , -/lepottlng. There can be no
honor system without discipline. Mere
ly to place each student on his personal
honor without providing means for pun
ishment of offenders would make the
id stem a" cloak for the dishonesty of
a. few The honor system is a stud
ent organization, if It is effectlve,.the
students - must - see - that' it is respected
The provisions of the present system
are Impracticable We suggest the fol
lowing modifications: -If the student
observes dishonesty, - he ;shall within
forty-elgitr,,houre ,mport-litcla -waiting
to the Honor Committee 'signing his
name to the statement. His name shall
not be known to the offender unless the
hitter denies the charge, In which case
the Honor 'Committee may ask him to
face the offender
The idea of reporting the offense of
another is repugnant `to clean-minded
students' except as it is necessary to
maintain a system that is for the best
Interests of society. It is necessary for
the. protection of civil rights and it is
equally necessary for the protection of
character and the good name of the
college The attitude of students on
this point may be strengthened itself
Interest stern involved more definitely
We suggest the system of grading ad
opted by the University, of Missouri
This provides that if a student receives
uniform high marks It reduces the time
required for his graduation -It also
