News Editor tliis Issue. NO SKATING RINK The student body has little cause to be disappointed in this report that was made at the last meeting oi Student Council in regard to the skating rink. The chairman of the committee that was appointed to interview Coach Bezdek concerning the plans which the Physical Edu cation Department contemplates in developing Penn State’s winter sports affords a glimpse into the future and the college that is to be. It is unfortunate that there will be no skating rink this year but Coach Bezdek has considered all angles of the matter and finds that it would be utter folly to construct a rink on the grounds that are available at this time. There is no doubt that Thompson’s Springs should not be considered as a location. The ground is uneven and of such a character that a considerable depth of water would be needed to provide an unobstructed surface and this; in turn, would necessi tate the services of a guard. The experience of last year proves conclusively the impossibility of constructing a satisfactory rink on Old Beaver Field. The slope of the ground causes leakage of the water which causes a shell surface. Also, the expansion plans of the college include the use of Old Beaver, and so the rink would only be temporary at the best. Any such ex penditure would be an extravagance However, there will probably be a rink next year. In the budget that was recently submitted to the Athletic Association and the alumni, the physical director proposes the construction of a rink three hun dred fifty feet long and one hundred fifty feet wide to be located near the golf course. In time, this would be followed by an enclosed rink and night illumination. Also, Mr. Bezdek contemplates the erection of a skii jump and toboggan slide on the same playgrounds. In fact, he has already started to collect information and data on these sub jects. In time, the play ground of the college will be concentrated on that plot of ground, now occupied by the golf course and agricultural fields.. The average person little realizes the many factors that must be fully considered in planning work oi this kind. In this case, the cli mate of State College is a serious hindrance to any extensive devel opment in seasonal sport. Unless artificial means were adopted to insure a solid layer of ice for the skating rink, it is doubtful whether it could be maintained during some of the winters. Some years, the snowfall is light which would be a detriment to a ski jump or a tobog gan slide. Also, the erection of the new gymnasium and of an indoor swimming pool would' provide all the recreation to be desired, and there would probably be little use made of winter sport grounds. The foregoing are but a few of the many questions to be-solved and only Time will give the answer. It has been the policy of the college to make plans carefully but on a scale large enough to provide for the university enrollment that is expected in a few years; to be sure that the plans provide for the best and that this is secured by no unnecessary expense. This is a sane policy to pursue and those in authority are to be commended for it. It is the policy of this paper to give praise where it is due and to be* at liberty, at all times, to criticise when such action is needed. The "wave” of cribbing that seems to have struck the college recently calls for sober consideration. Penn State is no worse in this respect than other American col* leges and universities and no doubt is much better in this respect than many. However, that is no reason why a cry of protest should not be heard at this iime against this criminal practice. It is the opinion of many that there was more cribbing in the re* cent exams than ever before in the history of Penn State. This con dition calls for stringent measures on the part of those in authority. A charge of inefficiency was brought against the Honor System last year and it was abolished. In its stead was instituted the Proctor System,which is in force at the present time. No longer does the ex tent of' cribbing depend upon student government, but rather it de pends"upon the watchfulness of the proctor. the great majority of the students are honest and they “come through clean.” They are hostile to the practice of cribbing since it brings shame and dishonor to the student, to his manhood, and to his Alma Mater. They see a small majority of embryonic criminals slow ly undermining the good name of Penn State and they are practically helpless. These who are honest and who dare insist on honest prac tice now urge the facutly to consider ways and means of fighting crib bing. Either abolish cribbing or the cribber. Not until one of the two has been driven out will the danger of a dishonorable future have been averted. . • Apparently, there are three practicable modes of procedure to ob tain the desired end. Abolish examinations, provide a-larger number of proctors, or punish the wrongdoer more severely. Little mention is made of the first two because the advantages and disadvantages are self evident. But consider the third. If a student be caught offend ing the rules of society and of honesty, let him be sentenced to the extent of the law; let him be dealt with in such a manner as’to im press indelibly upon the minds of all the extent of his sin; let him be an example to his fellow student, a man to be pitied. The man who cribs at Penn State is a criminal just as surely as the burglar, the thief, the forger. Let him be punished accordingly. When the announcement was made to the effect that the Faculty had shortened the time limit of the examination from four to two hours in length, a restlessness was inaugurated among the students, that could only be dispelled by the.exams. Many seemed to fear that the student would be expected to do too much in the time provided, but this fear was ungrounded. The general sentiment of those who took the exams during the past week is that a fair quiz was given in almost every*case The time allotted was sufficient for the average student to do the required amount of work; fairness predominated. The only sad feature con nected with the week was the super-abundance of cribbing. Only in a very.few intances was it noted that_an instructor seemed to miscal culate the human capacity for work and in this case, a long exam in cluded entirely too many problems that were not typical’of the course.

The Xavy, with whom Colgate had trranged for a game for the same date is the Lehigh meet, has refused to :onsider Colgate’s offer until matters .vith Lehigh have been patched up. Penn Statesmen William T. “Mother** Dunn 'OS In the long list of athletic stars that have been developed at Penn State College, the name of WUiiam T. Dunn stands out as one of the greatest ath letes of ull time. Few men have brough more fame to their Alma Ma ter ' than "Mother" Dunn, as he was af fectionately known- to Penn State men. Dunn entered Penn State in the fall of 1902. A few days after his arrival he appeared on Old*, Beaver '"Field for football practice. That was the begin ning of a long and glorious gridiron .•areer. Within a week “Mother” had been chosen for center and for four years he .held that position, in his third year he was elected cap tain of the eleven and next year, as a fitting climax to his football achieve ments. was chosen by Walter Camp as the all-American center. At that time Walter Camp selected his all-American teams almost entirely from Princeton, Tale,’ Harvard,- and Pennsylvania. The selection of Dunn accordingly brought much fame to' Penn State and raised the Xittany team in the eyes of the “Uig Four col- ■ Choice of a Career From the Y«le New* Someone, probably an insurance agent, was quoted recently as saying that from the mass of one hundred college graduates one individual only rose to the Polo and butler class, peril ously near the top of the financial lad der. Five others became comfortably off and found themselves after twenty years at the small yacht and chauffeur stage. The other ninety-four presum-, ably congregate in the great section of the American people who drive their own Buicks to the golf club. .In other words, dreaming about being a rich man is one thing, and making the grade is “something else again.” Yet the ninety-four presumably work just as hard as the sumptuous six. Their business is the axis;on which a small and uninteresting world revolves. They have become devotees of the dollar and when that fickle deity deserts, have nowhere else to turn. Jammed in a dull, straight rut of business they can never leave the road and jump the fence into finer fields of life. This, then', is the portion of nipety-four men out of eveiy hundred, now on the campus.. The 'answer ito the problem lies in the proper, choice of a career.' Between now and Commencement we shall have something to offer on the subject of “Careers.” Watch/for the space with the Famous Signature. or Boston; Massachusetts ' THE PENN STATE COLLEOIAN ALONG SPORT LINES The election of “Dutch" Bedenk to the captaincy of the Xlttany grldmcn 'another Indication of a great football season for Penn State next year. Qnl.v' i.ogue, Bentz, and HufTord will be lost through graduation and with an in-1 spiring leader like Bedenk. the eleven will have a chance to come through its difficult schedule.in championship form. Among the qualifications that a football captain should have are per-' >-c*nai popularity, the ability to lead men and'a'share of football brains and ability.. “Dutch" Is popular with the student body and we believe that he holds the respect and admiration of every member of the squad. * ; As to his football ability, can anyone question it? Bedenk has played i on the varsity team for the last two seasons and has been mentioned by a number of critics for all-American honors. On the offense he is a fast charg ng guard, and excells at running interference, and his ability to open up; hides in the opposing line, has been an important factor In the strength of Penn State's backfield. “Dutch" excells in slipping through the opponent's' ilne and breaking up their plays before they have been fairly started. Xr» eleven knows this better than that of the University of Pennsylvania for It was largely due to Bedenk that Sullivan, the sensational Penn halfback, was unable to get away on one of his brilliant open field runs. “Bez*’ had pounded into this aggressive guard’s head that his principal duty In that game was to stop Sullivan. From the moment that Sullivan was sent into the game. Bedenk went on the warpath and it was on only one occasion that Sullivan was able to elude his clutches. LINEMEN’ FAVORED AS CAPTAIN’S FOR NEXT SEASON Next fall an unusual preponderance of football captains will be on th-; •sno. From a list of over fifty leading colleges, thirty-six linemen have been] choaen to lead their teams and eleven of these men will be leading their teams from the guard position. The old Idea that the backfield man makes the ideal football leader seems to have gone into discard. The captain In the backfield has a better opportunity to diagnose the opponent’s plays and rally his men to the point of attack. If he Is calling signals he can direct the attack of his team at the weak spots in the opitosing line. The lineman on the other hand is pretty well occupied with one or two opponents so that he has little opportunity to aize up the other team. The captain in the backfield has a distinct advantage over, the leader who Is in the line. But is this advantage of position so Important? More than any thing else, the captain must have the ability to inspire and lead men and to bring out their best efforts. Bowser of Pitt, pitying at center...ls 'a striking example of a lineman who, by his personal efforts, did more than any other man to inspire his team to victory. Among the captains that will line up against Penn State next fall are Bowser. Pitt’s a.Il-Amerlcan center, Carney, the Navy guard who caused so much trouble to the Xlttany eleven at Washington Wast fall and Mcßae, a Syracuse end. Pennsylvalna, however, will be led by Hamer, a fullback, and West Virginia by a halfback, Fted Simons. TIIE LATEST ADDITION TO COLLEGE SPORTS Time. was when the activities of a college student were confined to only a few sports. Twenty years ago football, baseball, and poker were his ony diversions. Now the list of college sports has grown until it Includes nil the games of America and those of every other country In addition. The latest sport to gain favor In college ranks Is polo. The traditional game of the idle rich ,hos been taken up at a number of colleges and Penn sylvania, Cornell, Princeton, West Point. Harvard. Yale, and Virginia Military Institute are arranging matches for the coming season. The University of Le latid Stanford In California has a polo field and ninety polo ponies at the disposal of the students.

Edward J. O’Brien, the American authority on the short story, in his annual review of Ame rican magazine fiction recently published in the Boston Transcript, again rated THE DIAL above every other ma gazine in America for the percentage of short stories of distinction it has publi shed during the past year, Every year Mr O’Brien makes a survey of the fiction.published by American magazines, and* his appraisal is generally accepted as authori tative by students of literature. 1 The best of the stories selected by Mr O’Brien are annually republished in book form. The Dial was first awarded the rating of 100# in 1920, at the end of its first year as a maga zine of art and letters. Again in 1921 The Dial headed Mr O’Brien’s list, and now in 1922, for the third consecutive year, The ! Dial has achieved the highest rating in Mr O'Brien's classification. This record is particularly significant in view of the fact that Mr O’Brien selects for his pet' centagc ratings only stories of unusual merit and distinction. The Dial’s record of 100# means, therefore, that since 1920 it has not published a single mediocre story. This record becomes all the more remarkable when it is realbed that THE DIAL is not exclusively a fiction magazine. Short stories form but a part of the material in each issue. The poetry, essays, criticism, and reproduc tions of the fine arts published by THE DIAL are equally distinctive. The editorial policy of THE DIAL is directed towards achievingVdistinction in all lines. THE DIAL’S better known contributors include the most dis tinguished writers of Europe and America.- A new name will shortly be added to this notable list of contributors— Gerhart Hauptmann whose latest novel will be published in the spring issues of THE DIAL.
