The second semester of the college year is more than half com pleted and the annual spring recess is now an event of the past. With this realization should come the resolution by every student of the institution to make a last determined effort for higher scholarship records The calendar this year has been broken up as it never was before and the student body has been the recipient of generous vaca tions In return, the faculty has a right to hope for the whole-hearted response of Penn State students in applying to the remaining six weeks an honest endeavor to raise the scholarship standards of the college On many occasions, it has been remarked that one of the first essentials of a Pennsylvania State University is a higher scholarship rating than has been associated with the college in the past. A great state university which will be the center of the educational system of the commonwealth and which will be the summit of the state educa tional structure must rank with the best of American universities in this essential and it can attain this position only through the will of the student body The first below grade period of the first semester and the end of th 6 first semester were marked with an overabundance of unusually low marks The beginning of the second semester did not witness a great change in this condition so it can be said that the temporary scholarship standing at the present time is lower than it should be If this handicap is to be overcome, we must start to spurt The holding of the annual Junior prom over the coming week end should not have the effect of a general neglect of studies It is the successful student who is able to enjoy the social life of the college iind accomplish his academic work without interference of the two. Two extremes face each one and it is the person who creates the "happy medium" who is considered the true example Penn State -voices the plea that each one remember his duty to the college. Time passes quickly and the June exams will soon claim the at tention of all undergraduates Whether or not the majority of the students will be able to take these exams successfully depends en tirely upon the preparation and it is not too late now to make amends tor a careless beginning With the goal in sight and the last lap immediately before us, we should put all energy in a winning spurt for Penn State and the Pennsylvania State University. RESPECT FOR THE SENIORS For the past several years, Penn State has been associated with the popularity of its customs and the student attitude toward the strict observance of these customs There has been a marked tendency on the part of many institutions in the east to gradually do away with this part of American college life,—which change in many quarters has been attributed to the recent World War. And now Penn State is beginning to feel the effects of this tide, daily demonstrated in the remarks of the older men who are wont to draw comparisons of past and present conditions A broader outlook for Penn State and a more serious consideration of the problems of life on the part of the average college student of the day 'are but a few of the answers made to the comparisons of older men However, it seems that Penn State will be amojag the last to re linquish recognition of the value of class customs and this is no doubt commendable when the customs in question have survived the test of Time and have earned the favorable consideration of alumni, stu dents and faculty If the benefits derived through rigid observance are such as to merit this consideration, surely the student body should hesitate before forgetting it. But this is a danger that is threatening some of the oldest cus toms at the college Are the Seniors respected as they should be' Recently many complaints have been heard concerning the order in which students leave the Auditorium after a morning service or at the close of Sunday chapel It is specifically stated in the Students' Handbook that the faculty members are to pass out first, to be fol lowed by the members of the Senior class, and then the members of the other three classes in the order of seniority. In making the seating arrangement, the college authorities assigned seats first ac cording to classes and then according to name in order that this cus tom might be followed out Confusion has invariably been the re bolt in this laxness and should not be countenanced. Probably, the majority of the students are firm supporters of the custom but they have failed to act according. As a possible solution, it is suggested that each member of the three lower classes take upon himself the duty of showing visible sup port to the customs at Penn State and that the class officers bring .his matter to the attention of their respective classes at the next meetings This is another way to work for Penn State, for a part of Penn State is CUSTOMS UaliM=tlia.j The most enjoyable season of the year is beginning at Penn "tate and the wild flowers of the region are adding their share of •tractiveness to the Nittany Valley Associated with this growth of "e springtime flora is the natural desire to pluck the blossoms that "ay he found in meadow and woodland.

Arbutus, especially, has suffered greatly in the past at the hands the destructive flower hunter This typical American wildflower in bloom at the present time and is being gathered in great abund ance A few suggestions in regard to its collection will have the effect. carried out, of saving this species of flora from future extinction The trailing arbutus does not reproduce itself from seeds but is de • ndent upon the presence of the root which is so easily torn from the metecting earth when the stem is picked. If every one gathering " ,, s fragrant flower will remember to cut the stem rather than pick it, a great step will be taken in its preservation in this part of the state i ' ditill -itl•ehiol -..--1110114;11 1 4 i:lilt(P1 ----:\ 11.1,1;,i1114 I: Vtl/1 ----- AY4ISt VII.
