A CHANGE IN STAFF
As has been the custom for some years, the publication of this
issue terminates the regime of the present COLLEGIAN Staff. The
1921-1922 Board has finished its work and now turns the paper over
to the younger men to faithfully chronicle the events of the College
year and at all times to reflect the sentiment of the student body.
The year now ending has been one full of progress for the Col
lege and the COLLEGIAN as well. We have succeeded in maintaining
a seven column sheet throughout the year and have effected a more
efficient ocganization, but most important of all we feel that we
have enjoyed the esteem and cooperation of the student body. The
COLLEGIAN appreciates the support which it has received and hopes
that the same whole hearted support which was accorded the old staff
will be offered the one about to take charge
The COLLEGIAN hails with joy the announcement that the com
mittee in charge of the Second Annual Father's Day at Penn State is
planning to make the affair, which occurs on Saturday, May sixth,
even more successful than the celebration which was held last year
when the custom was inaugurated. We are glad that Penn State
pauses once a year to pay tribute to this leader among earth's bettering
forces—this fond, most human relationship between father and son.
__lt-is impossible to give an adequate eulogy on the subject of
father. Century after century, "dads" have been exalted, magnified,
praised and honored. Since time immemorial they have been the lead
ers, "wage-earners", and protectors of their families. From the very
first it was the father who assumed responsibility, drove off the enemy,
and "kept the wolf away its= the door". And as time has passed on,
fathers have continued to keep their positions of responsibility The
greater portion of the students at this institution are dependent upon
their fathers for the education which they are receiving. Most "dads"
are generous, and their very nature makes them lovable.
Today there are few words in the English langutige that are so
short and yet have such a deep meaning as the monosyllable "dad". To
the college men and women of this generation, this word has, or
should have, much of the meaning of""pal" hidden within it However,
"clads" are generally very busy men The day when "everybody
worked but father" is over—if it ever did exist—and the fact that
father has been tremendously busy may have caused him to overlook
the opportunity of establishing this "Old 'Pal" relationship between
father and son Or possibly, it might have been the fault of the son—
at any rate, the coming observance of "Dad's Day" will give many the
opportunity of renewing or creating such a feeling of comradeship
Let us celebrate on Father's Day a love which rises above all laws,
a love, the influence of which is silently at work at'all times The
setting aside of a day in which to celebrate it is a duty—just as the
celebration of Mother's Day is a duty Father loves his child just as
much as mother, but he "swallows" it We welcome the observance of
this festival at Penn State as a good sign of further awakening to a
full sense of the priceless worth of a "dad"
Father's Day also gives "dad" an opportunity to study the col
lege It gives him the chance to get an insight into the life at this
institution and to see where his money goes and how it goes It
strengthens the relation between father and son and can put some
three thousand voters in back of the college
Write to your "dad" today and when you are home for the Easter
vacation, tell him of the trip that he is going to make to State Col
lege, so that when Saturday, May sixth, comes around, you will be
able to say with the others, "Here comes my Daddie now"
WHAT ABOUT THE HONOR SYSTEM?
The recent action of Student Council in re-drafting the consti
tutions and by-laws of the many student government organizations
of the college has brought to mind the fact that there still exists an
Honor System at the college, in writing if not in fact. It seems
as Though this is the proper time to consider this part of student
government if such is desired by the majority of the students.
_
During the first week of May, one year ago, a committee ap
pointed by the faculty to investigate the working of the Honor Sys
tem reported that it was not functioning as it should and sug
gested two alternatives in view of this fact; first, that the Honor
System be abolished, effective June 2, 1921; second, that the, system
be suspended with the understanding that it should be reinstated at
the beginning of the college year 1922-1923 with such amendments
as might be agreed upon by the faculty and the students, provided
two thirds of the faculty and two thirds of the student enrollment
should vote to „Tinstate it in - a ballot, taken during the month of May,
1922.
At the present time, the issue is in a dormant state and bath fac
ulty and students seem to be satisfied to have it remain 'so. And if
the majority of these bodies are of_such an opinion, it is undoubtedly
best to leave the question undisturbed. However, it mny be that
there are many strong advocates of the old regime who believe that
a new Honor System that would incorporate some much- needed
changes is more desirable than the present proctor system. In at-,
cordance with the faculty recommendations, a vote, if it, is taken,
must be scheduled during the month of May. ' There remains a
month broken up by the Easter recess during Which the question may
be reviewed and a decision reached as to whether the Honor System
should be reconsidered.
Now is the time to consider this question. If the students want
an Honor System, they should say so and let Student Council IcriOw
their opinions. If they do not want one, they should let the ques
tion lie quiet and not raise an over-abundance of, hasty, and needless
argument during the last week.

which they thrive within our hardens
But at the preitont rate of consumption
their extinction is well assured within
the palming of a few - decades Men
must learn to consume math discretion
If they do not take steps to restock the
plant and animal .kingdoms with no,
life, they must-at least withhold and
control their destruction of it in order
that natural reproduction may function
to replace what has been destroyed-
It is especially necessary that the idea
of conservation be presented to the stu
dent body of the college One of the
greatest assets of the institution is its
situation in one of the most healthful
and beautiful ;spots of the state We
