No Freshman is exempt from the rule which says that every Freshman is required to speak to every other Freshman when meeting him on the street or in the college buildings Of late some of the first year men have been lax m observing the custom. They have passed classmates without speaking and deliberately ignored tine fact that they are bound by custom to speak' This is a matter for the upperclasmen to take in hand. Penn State cannot afford to hstve this custom fall into disuse. A WONDERFUL GAME The showing made by the Nittany football team against the much touted Navy eleven proves to the sporting world that Penn State is fast gaining possession of the coveted if mythical football champion* ship. The Naval Academy was represented, by a powerful and brainy team, as the fact that they had not been'scored on until ■ this game will testify. They were accorded by many the best team imthe East, but Saturday they met their match The strenuous preparations of the Blue and White squad and the canny coaching of Bezdek is having its effect and today Penn State stands preeminent in the football world Two hard games remain on the schedule, games which call forth every ounce of energy of the men who. will represent Penn State at Pittsburgh and Seattle Pitt and Washington are powerful, but the are_thgre to be gotten. On to Pitt ajid Wahington! t WHAT ARE WE HERE FOR? The many interruptions whtebt have broken into the work of this semester cause us to pause and wonder just how much is being obtained from the scholastic side of our activities. We wonder whether the student body is deriving the full benefit from its studies, in the face of the numerous celebrations, anniversaries, and sports events which take so much of our time and attention. This is something that is not new ,toJ Penn State As long as there have been colleges the same situation /has arisen and at Penn State many times the warning has been s'ounded that studies must come first. Do not forget that we are he re for study and that all else is subordinate. To quote an editorial 'o£ former years: “This semester is no excep tjon to the rule nor are students oi today any different from thyose of other years in this respect Men will throw away valuable time, moments that in the final' summing up would undoubtedly have meant their passing a course successfully or ev en making a good grade in it. Of course after the semester Is over it is too late The consequence must be met. Most of ten it is the instructor who is blamed, whether the lault lay w/jth him or not, and in most cases it may safely be said that the. real reason, for failure was the student’s own disinterestedness* The inconvenience that faces one, the bitter moments of sorrow and self-lashing that follow, are well the result of too UuUj application when the proper time was at hand "It is not tijq- intention of this- article to state that all men should be grinds. That is the other extreme. A grind finds no place among college men,-men who really do things while at col lege, both, for themselves, their fellow students and the college, and who are really big rtM.n in future life The grind is mostly a solitary chap, unlortun.ate and without knowledge of the cause. There is a happy medium between the two. It is the course fol lowed by the student -who, with common sense prepares his work when he has it at ha a d, who conscientiously fulfills his every duty, neglecting not onr. , o ta of the work that is thus given to him. The man who foil ows this middle course will get something out of college He wil^ pro fit by his instruction and others will find him a man among men w j, o enters the work of the world without his college spher' He hits time for many things because he neither overdoes on c nor w ,i.(, u iiy neglecls another. He is the man who has learned i w jjji e a t college that to be successful means applica tion, earn ,est and. concentrated on the matter in hand, at the proper t», me . ‘lt iryjghj. k e wise j or more students to follow such a plan.
