FRESHMAN, SPEAK!
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.
It wqujcl rr , su it m less below grades, better relationship, instruct
or to stud ient> m ore satisfaction at the close of the semester on
the part 0 f both parties and a better knowledge of the value that
rests U/- jon eaC b piece of work that has been done and that re
