THE SOUVENIR HABIT
That the habit of,collecting,souvenirs , when away from the col
lege sometimes hag- unpleasant results was forcibly demonstrated
last week when two students who were hiking to the Penn Relays
were obliged to spend the night behind the prison bars. Their de
sire have some trophies to show for their trip, a,desirei which is
so prevalent- among Penn State undergraduates, led them cc take
several articles, of no great value intrinsically to be sure, but some
things nevertheless which did not belong to them, and in so doing their
actions aroused the suspicions of some of the townspeople. After
they had left the town the theft from a local residence of a con
siderable sum of money was discovered and the suspicious actions of
the hikers caused them to be suspected of the crime. The alarm was
given and an effort was made to apprehend the supposed culprits, with
the result that the youthful hikers were arrested in the next town and
obliged to return for examination They, finally convinced the author
ities the next,morning of their innocence of the burglary and were
permitted to proceed, nothing the worst for their escapade except for
the uncomfortable night, the delay in getting to the' destination and
the odium of being arrested.
For them the incident is closed, but for the college, it is not, as
the name of the college.has suffered, by their- actions. True they
did not commit the major crime, and were-released. But their ac
tions in collecting 'souvenirs turned suspicion in their direction and
upon the college, from which they came They brought the fair
name of Penn State, the college, Which they, represented in the eyes
of the town, into disrepute. , It. , is natural that one shout*, wish to'
-have have-some-remembrance of his college days, but stealing is not
the way to get them Although the articles taken are of not' great
value, that does not make them public property and the act is
theft nevertheless. One thing leads_ to another, the theft of an
inconsequential article may lead to the stealidg of
. a more , valuable
one and a serious charge result. Penn State men are supposed to Le
gentlemen and should act as such when away from home as well as
when at the college. It is by their actions that outsiders judge this
institution and their deeds and misdeeds determine the reputation
of the college This petty pilfering is a'bad'habit to get into and
it gives the college a black eye. Let it be stopped.
A SWIMMING POOL? ..•
Just how much a graduate owes the college over and above the
amount which he contributes in fees is a debatable question. It has
been said however_that the state alone contributes one thousand dol
lars toward the education of. every student. In view of this amount,
the asking in return of a small portion of this amount from the stud
ent is jusiified. The sum that the ,average man.gives to the college
in return for his education is indeed small on account of the state
support, and the sharing in the memorial by ,each graduate merely
shows his appreciation for the opportunity of obtaining an education
here. The amount asked by the Senior class from each of its mem
bers is small compared to the benefit received and is approximately
equal to the amounts given in former years.
The use to which this money will be put has been the subject of
grave discussion, and after a great deal of deliberation, it is proposed
to use this sum toward an athletic building or for a swimming pool
Both of,these structures are much needed and any movement for their
construction will obtain the support of all. As-spring comes on, we
feel more deeply than ever the need for aquatic sports and activities
Penn State would be more completeif it had the much needed recrea
tion building and swimming pool. , It has many other advantages,
both natural and-artificial, but there is left this one deficiency, the
matter of a swimming pool, and recreation building The Seniors
have 'a worthy goal for which to strive in their endowment campaign
and we hope that it will be a success

STUDENT SAYS AMEND
THE HONOR--SYSTEM
Many Suggestions Given' For Im
, provement of Present ;System
- For Student Consideration
Editor Collegian
I=llEllll
reeling that the Honor System as It
le now is not what It should be, I have
attempted to devise some rules to be
added to the present rules rather than
used in place of them. These suggen
tlons are not original with me, but arc
the ideas and suggestions gathered
from various sources about the Cam
pus. Together with some remarks they
are as toll.,
1 While taking a quizz the stud
ents shall - take- alternate seats If the
accommodations of the twin will per
mit.
2 No student shall leave the room
during an examination of any kind un
less absolutely necessar3 that he do
so, 'the necessity of the occasion to he
determined by the students
I believe that the wants of student
can be attended to before coming into
the classroom and as suggested by Dt
Thonge nil appearance of evil should
be avoided
J Timm sliall be no communication,
except to ask for an eraser or the like,
among,students after they have taken
spas, and they shall, not leave their
seats atter having been seated unless
for a very good reason
4 All annoying and unnecessary
noise during an examination Shall be
forbidden
All books, papers, and notebooks,
with the exception of the bulehook,
shall be left on the desk or platform
6 - The pledge must be eigne4 - 1 at the
beginning of each semester Pledge to
lead as follows• I pledge my ovoid of
honor that' I will neither give nor re
! ctlye assistance of any kind relathe
to any examination or recitation of the
ensuing semester and that I will obey
all rulemand regulations of the Honer
System
Every student shall be supplied
with a 'pamphlet containing the rules
and regulations of the Honor System
together with the•penalties and manner
of Jurisdiction.
8 A mass meeting shall be held as
coon as possible after college has no-
~nod, for all new men; at which the
Honor System Is fully explained Ev
ery means possible shall be taken to
keep the responsibility of the - students
befdre them at all times ,
9 Each School shall have at; Honor
Committee to be selected as suggested
in' amendment number one of the re
cently discarded amendments
' , believe that suspension for.a oral
is too severe punishment, and' on the
other hand I don't think a mere bawling
out or threat on the pant of thp Honor
Committee does any lasting good I
believe an entirely now and original
means of punishment should, be devil
id. Here are some that I suggest.
A student convicted for the fleet time
of cheating shall be required to wear
a placard stating the_ offiFe for
%Filch ho was convicted, or, o of
'fence, over Um offenders signat e shall
'be published in some other =inner to
the devised by the Honor Committee
A student.' convicted of cheating a
second time shall be barred from sloes
,for a period of time to be determined by
the Honor Committee. A thin" offence
shall warrant indefinite suspension
An infringement of the rules other
than those regarding cheating shall be
regarded as minor offences and pun
ishable an such
I recommend that a convicted' man's
name be published In the Collegian
egardless of any punishment that Is
Mulcted on him •
Yours very Tespectfully

Some MiseonceptiOns of the Links
Game—Players Should Strive
For Natural Motions
If a golfer is ho get the most out of
his game he must , pla . .Y - eon.lentiously
and try to improve There has been a
mistaken Idea that knowing a game
thoroughly means enjoying it less
Many students play golf carelessly and
think that they aro In this way, getting
the most fun from the game Should
they fly to ploy correctly just a little
1141,1m...they uould find that the game
held many more attractions than-it
did before
Consistent effort will greatly imprme
a Pia) er A common misconception of
golf is that some phases of It are gifts
et insplrations_and cannot be taught
m learned Instead of thinking that
a plai, Is hard and resigning himself to
fate the golfer should remember that
others have teamed to do the sam
thing - In most cases, the seeming dif
ficulty is really simple if the student
of golf uould only think so
, Many motions are easy and natural
and the player should not worry him
self, with numerous and complicated
Instructions on them He should try
harder to forget a greater number of
things while making a stroke than to
emry himself with bewildering and
confusing Instructions which do not
help hint If a poison has gathered
the natural and comfortable thing to do
and has practiced a little, he does not
have to think of it at the time of
playing It comes without effort then
and the ninny burdening directions acv
et do
The game has suffeted greatly to the
past from the large number of false
instructions It is mainly by ,reeog
nt Ing that these are of no talue and
e‘en harmful and letting the natural
instinct do Its share of monk, that the
gram will attire at the true spirit of
the game He will then have more ab
ility to play it and understand golf to
get the best from It
I IV, Definite Ago For Golf
Golf has no age limit This game
has often been termed no an old man's
pastime This may be true, as the only
temlislte for a plater is that he must be
a good stalker However It Is usually
beneficial to the younger class and
is s game ahlch Is especially adapted
lot student Ilfe, as it is not so strenu
lAN
For Cite person who cannot devote so
much of his time to hard work or ex
ercise the links game has many attrac
tions It has been recommended
that - if u man is sleepless, nervous,
stout, thin, overworked or soft muscled
that he shoud try golf as 'a cure. The
game is beneficial In any of these cas
es This form of sport brings the play- l
er out Into the sunshine and It it '
