When the wisdom possessed by the student is “weighed and found wanting,” then recourse is made to the Registrar’s office and the yellow slips are forthcoming Let the first semester be a lesson to all and let each one x profit thereby l The deluge of below grades that the college authorities were forced to send out at the end of the first semester showed clearly the effects of a broken semester and of a careless student body. The foot ball season and the various athletic programs, not to mention the vacations seemed to induce the average student to underrate the im portance of his studies. It is not the intention of the paper to belittle the part that athletics plays in the modern college life. It is an es sential part of the curriculum and that institution which neglects sports and other activities does so to its own detriment. A college student who does not respond to the thrill of the gridiron, the diamond, or the track is indeed missing one of the greatest pleasures of life There is a happy medium to strike which allows active participa tion in college activities and also a serious consideration of higher scholarship attainment He who can recognize and pursue this med ium will have started well on the road to SUCCESS. The athletic sea son is about oyer and now comes the final test for the student. Can he pass the exams 5 The answer to this question depends upon the 1 attitude assumed throughout the semester and it is hoped this atti tude was such as to give “those who be” no excuse for sending out the yellow slip. It should certainly afford the student body no little amount of satisfaction to know that the PARENTS OF PENN STATE are taking an active interest in the welfare of the college and are heartily en dorsing the action taken at Father’s Day in organizing The numbers who have joined the Parents’ Association of Penn State and those who have expressed a desire to j'oin form conclusive proof that this institution has many enthusiastic supporters m all sections of the Com monwealth With this throng advocating a righteous cause, there should be no reason why the State Legislature can not be made to re cognize the voice of the people and what they desire. A WORTH WHILE DAY When the Council of Administration' decided that Penn State should be granted a day’s leave of absence from classes to celebrate Memorial Day, they practically insured the success of the holiday. A ready response was found in the student body and “a good time was had by all ” The unveiling and dedication of the student memorial on the Cam pus as one of the features of the morning deserves special com ment at this time. Although plans for the memorial were started by the class of ’2l, yet it took a long time to decide upon the many de tails and to carry out the plans agreed upon The class of '22 took up the good work where the preceding class was forced to give it up and the result was witnessed last Tuesday morning. For the many sons of Penn State who died for their country, no more fitting remem brance could be perpetuated than through some permanent erection and this has been done through the bronze tablet that now can be seen m the Auditorium. It will serve its purpose well until a Memorial Building can be erected on the campus. In behalf of the student body, sincere thanks for a real holiday is given the faculty. A SAFE AND SANE COMMENCEMENT Commencement, house-party time, and the influx of large num bers of alumni and other guests in the past has tended to disturb the atmosphere of the town and college to such an extent that undesirable behavior on the part of students and guests has overshadowed the* otherwise good effects of a get-together. At this time, we are asked to bring to the attention of everyone that the college is prepared to take decisive action to eliminate any recurrence of the past in this re spect and to treat the perpetrators in the manner they deserve The past few years has seen a decrease m any unseemly behavior, especially that due to intoxication. Although Mr Volstead inaugurat ed a movement to rid mankind of temptation in this country, yet there are some who do not see his viewpoint and who persist in evading the decrees of the government. Penn State has enjoyed a healthy and sane year It would be folly to blot the record during the last few days. It will also mean the downfall of the guilty. A word-of warning on this score is never amiss. No indication has arisen to show that it is necessary, but i$ advisable in this en lightened age to remind all of the power and authority vested in the college officials in dealing with those who transgress.
