Xlember of Eastern Intercollegiate Newspaper Association FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1922 CHANGING PENN STATE One of the greatest troubles with civilization and any.thing brought about through human intervention is that perfection is not attained. Only those laws that relate to Nature and the running of the universe and over which Man has no control possess this desir able quality. Consequently, it is imperative to inaugurate changes *rom time to time. Penn State customs are no exception to this gen eral order of affairs. Changes are highly desirable when improve ment is sought. It is a reasonable deduction that, since Penn State is about to enjoy an unusual growth in many respects, some of its institutions must be changed. For the past few years, customs at the college, as they have been enforced, have been transformed into a huge farce because of the indifference of a careless studdent body. Slowly but surely as the years have roiled on, more infractions have gone unpunished and undeserved leniency meted out to the offenders. Regulations have been disregarded and the Student Tribunal given a vacation for the college term. For instance, last year Poster Night was a mixture of barbaric paddling, of wholesale destruction of property, and of a tea party with weiners as the piece de resistance. Yet some students considered this a Poster Night. Investigation disclosed the astound fact that the old time Poster Night was different. Either have a Poster Night that is a Poster Night or abolish it. Do not disgrace the famous old custom by using* the name for a different kind of hazing scheme. Since it is almost impossible to stage a typical Poster Night un der present conditions, why not substitute a Stunt Night that will serve the same purpose as the old Poster Night? Why not have a non-dangerous celebration which would furnish a good scrap for the underclassmen and which might be used to impress upon the members of the fresman class their own importance and the re spect that is due their elders. A change of this nature would elimi nate all the injurious effects and would not endanger the success of the two-million-dollar campaign. Consideration of the college should receive the most weight and after that the satisfaction of our own pleasure. CO-EDS TO THE FORE AGAIN The announcement that the girl students of the college are plan ning to run a series of campus activities is another proof of the loy alty of the girl students to their Alma Mater, instances of which have not been lacking since members of the gentler sex were first permitted to matriculate. This latest effort on their part comes at a time when the college most needs support of all kinds and for this reason, it will be air the more appreciated. In previous years, a blanket tax has always been charged the girls which has been used to defray the expenses connected with the Wom en's Athletic-Association, the Girls' Student Government, and the Young Women’s Christian Association. The extent of the work in which these organizations have participated made necessary also, the staging of various kinds of entertainments and socials during the year, the proceeds of which supplemented the blanket tax; How ever, at the recent business conference held at La Mar Gap, the offi cers decided upon a notable change. The utmost sacrifice would be practiced throughout the year and the proceeds usually obtained during the year would be turned over to the Endowment Fund. The present college campaign provides for the erection of a build ing on the campus which will be used exclusively by the girls as a social center and a gymnasium. The site selected for the structure is that occupied by the New Mining*Building at the present time. In the past the girls have usfed the boys' gymnasium at the times al lotted to them and have had no social center whatever, except what the dormitories provided. The interest that they are taking in the campaign is certainly justified and the sacrifice to which they have resorted is a credit to them and to the college. The faculty and student bodies will not be slow to recognize the spirit that prompted the decision of their offeers. The amount of patronage they receive during the year will determine the success of their undertaking. This in itself should insure the support of each student. A 100% Faculty A statement has been issued at Headquarters that next .week will feature s drive among the members of the faculty for 100% partici pation in the .Campaign. This means that every? person on the facultyroster will be asked to make some contribution to the Health and Welfare Fund. No amount has been set as a goal for the drive since each contri bution is expected to be a purely voluntary offering, prompted by a love of the college and the worthiness of the movement. Never before have the faculty been found wanting and there is no doubt but that each one will have subscribed before the twenty-third of this month. ; “A NICKEL A HEN” Besides furnishing the world with an enormous quantity of eggs and chtckep dinners, the poultrymen.of the state have decided to give Penn State a building to be used ! as a men’s dormitory.

A class of one humlerd seven men and women from al! sections of the country who took this course was one of the largest classes of the summer school and the enrollment was the most widely scat tered of any other gathering. The work comprised the teaching of methods of coaching in basketball, track, baseball and football. B. M. Her mann. C. W. Martin and Hugo Bezdek each had charge of the subject of which they are the varsity coach at Penn State. The course lasted the full eight weeks of the summer school, two weeks being devoted to each of the above mentioned sports. The system of teach ing consisted of an hour's lecture in the fprenoon and an-hour’s practicum or practical work In the afternoon. Four and one-half points credit wore given for this work. This is the first time a course in ath letic coaching has been ofTered at Penn State and it Is one of the first courses of its kind ever given in the east. The majority of those who took the course wore high sclioo! coaches and vocation al school coaches, while a number of former Penn State ntheletes who wished to prepare themselves better for coaching Jobs were also enrolled. It is certain that such a course would prove of great value to coaches and prospective coaches when it is known that sixteen Penn State athletes de veloped in the past three years under Bezdek have become successful college and high school ahletlc coaches. They are Boh Iliggins. Barry Conover. Ben Harry Ranh. |.)|ch Rauch, Hinkle Haines. George Snell, Glenn Killlnger. Harold Hess, Stan McCollum and Ed.

NEW TOMATO DEVELOPED BY PENN STATE ALUMNUS A new variety of tomato that is su perior to any other variety so far pro duced. has recently been developed by an alumnus of Pennsylvania State Col lege. C. E. Myers. The new variety of tomato developed by Mr. Myers is called the Matchum ami is a cross between the Matchless ami the Hummer variety. Dean Watts of the Department of Agriculture con siders it the finest variety of tomato that has yet been developed in any part of the world. It is a very productive, solid, round tomato with a strong, healthy foliage. A magnificent field of these tomatoes grows on the college farms. . All of them will be saved for seed purposes and will be distributed to all parts of the United States. Mr. Myers was graduated from this college in J9OB and received an appoint ment in the Department of Horticulture at Cornell University. Since then he has been specializing in plant breeding especially with cabbages and tomatoes.

Be on your toes when the whistle blows. A good start will carry you well on toward your goal. Let the football candidate start by working away till his muscles ache from bucking the line. Let the aspirant for manager put in careful study of his team’s needs, always eager to help a trip or carrying a pail of water. Let the publications man be alert for news and tireless in learning the details of editorial work. Whatever activity you come out for, crowd a lot of energy into these early Fall days. And if a good stnrt helps win campus honors, itihelps win class room honors, too. The sure way to be up in your work is to aim now for regularity at lectures, up-to-date note-books and particular attention to the early chapters of text-books, thus getting a grip on the basics.
