THE EXAMS ARE WITH US
Twice every school year, the student body is forced to submit to
the curiosity of the various professors and instructors who are bent
on unearthing the true capacity of a stude’s storeroom of knowledge"
Twice every school year, the college authorities set aside a period of
time when the various instructors are given Full power to delve into
the secrets of the student’s mind in the hope of learning just how
much he does know The results are sometimes disappointing as was
the case at the end of the first semester. 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.
