FATE HAS TURNED That ladv, who has spurned all advances made by Leo Houck and his crew of doughty warriors for favor, has at last smiled. The boxing team, handicapped throughout an unfortunate season by injuries and presenting a different line-up for each meet, is again in the good graces of her majesty, Fate. The defeat of the Virginia Military Institute team is the first re ward that Coach Houck has received for a strenuous season of sincere work, beset by difficulties. A newcomer at Penn State, he entered into the spirit of the college immediately and won the friendship of all who came in contact wth him and his work. He has proven himself to be a worthy coach of Blue and White teams and has earned a position on the famous Penn State coaching staff. Success in this line of work is not measured in terms of games won, according to the Nittany conception, but rather it is the ability of a coach to produce loyal athletes, who play the game for the glory of their Alma Mater and who put forth their greatest energies in a clean, sportsmanlike manner. This Coach Houck has done. His teams suf fered defeat time and again, but never have his men grumbled at their fortune nor have they committed the sin of poor sportsmanship. One of the greatest tributes that can be paid the coach is to say that he 5s highly regarded by all of his men. The student body is well pleased, even though games have been lost, and it is hoped that Coach Houck will not be discouraged by his season's record. But now that Fate has turned for the better, big things may be expected from the team at the Intcrcollegiates. DEBATING WORK AND ITS REWARD The,debate that is scheduled for the end of the week to take place between the Penn State forensic artists and the George Washington University team brings to mind the subject of Intercollegiate Debat ing which is given so little attention by the student body. Debating at this college is distinctly a student activity which is carried on, from year to year, by the undergraduates with very little aid from the faculty. A small group of students apply themselves to the study of national and world-wide problems, not .for the honor that is connected with it, but for the good which the college and they them selves might derive. In the last four years, the debating squad has investigated and presented arguments on' such questions as the man agement of industry. Japanese immigration, a national educational program, the cancellation of war debts, unemployment insurance, and, this year, the Kansas Industrial Courts. Think of the benefits derived by the members of the squad'who have appeared before audiences to argue these" questions. Aside from the acquisition of a mass of information, they have learned the art of self control. They have pitted their power of analysis and sound thought against the representatives of colleges and universities from Boston to Seattle. They are not only a master of themselves, but in many cases are masters of others. But apparently, the benefit accruing to the college body is neglig ble for it as a pitifully small audience that greeted the last appearance of the debaters in the Auditorium. The students and faculty can not afford to miss such an opportunity for some day they may be called upon to settle just such problems. The world today, needs men and women who can think clearly and who can present their conclusions forcefully. The country needs men and women who are interested in these mighty questions. An hour or so spent in listening to a debate is not wasted but it is rather a good investment which might yield ex cellent dividends some day. ARE WE DOWNHEARTED? NO! The fortune that awaited the wrestling team at Ithaca has not given the student body a case of “blues" as might be expected under the circumstances, for Cornell has always presented teams which the Lion has delighted to meet. But the unexpected is liable to happen at any time and a follower of intercollegiate sport must not be surprised at any score. It is a sopree of satisfaction to krtow that the team did not lessen its opposition till the end of the last bout; First, the Penn State entry in the 175-pound bout became sick on the journey to the New York institution, making'it impossible for him to wrestle. Undaunted by this blow, Coach Detar and Captain Evans determined to carry through at all costs. Consequently the latter wrestled in two classes, 145-' pound and 158-pound class so that the regular 158-pound man could wrestle as Ellwood’s substitute. Thus Evans was outweighed thirteen pounds in the bout he lost on decision and Parthemore was outweighed by seventeen pounds in his bout. And to furnish a fitting climax for this unusual meet, Emery was knocked unconscious soon after the beginning of the last bout. It was Fate again that must be blamed. But the Cornell team is not to be considered weak by any means for it boasts three intercollegiate champions. It may prove to.’be a worthy contender for the 1923 championship which the Lion is so an xious to acquire. At all events, it is composed of men who know the. game and who have proven time and again that they .do not forget their science or fail to use their brawn in a meet. However, this setback is not to be taken too seriously for the grapplers may be expected to do their best at the liitercollegiates and with nothing unusual happening may bring the-laurels back to the Nittany Valley. ' ‘ . AN EXAMPLE OF ACTION The committee that was appointed recently-to frame a code for Penn State to govern the attitude and actions of all Nittany- men in their lives is to be commended for the promptness and the thoroughness with which they are doing its task. ‘-'Believing in the principle that a careful investigation of condi tions at other institutions is indispensable in dealing with problems of such great import, the committee is sending its members to other sec tions of. the East. Five colleges and universities will be studied, in cluding Cornell, Washington and Lee, Oberlin, V- M. 1., and'V. P. I. It is known that systems are successful at these places, but the commit tee is not sure as to what the systems are followed out,'what character istics are emphasized or what methods are employed to insure the co-, operation of the student bodies. The information that has been gained on these'trips will be. re hearsed at the next meeting of the committee, which will then be in a position to frame a code to meet with the approval of Penn State stu dents. . The student body cambe sure, that the Penn State Code will not be based on any untried theories,-but. that-it will be the product of delib erate thinking and study and sound in every detail.- It will be founded on principles that work-elsewhere, and which are adapted to the Nit tany atmosphere; It will be typically Penn State and not -.a-revised system, taken bodily, from some othei; institution.' And with'the pass ing of'years,\ it may. become one of 'the,c6Hege,’s ch'qicest. possessions. .-EthK-r-in-ChiH 'V *.V. Stall’ t UV.-.I .lr -i- ii* Nr»vwp;|j!tT A'SCiflHflnn ._E. M.

THE .PENN.STATE COLLEGIAN In the early universities the student! was a true seeker after knowledge, and ! was willing to endure many-hardships to gain what he desired. What ho act ually did secure depended entirely on his own efforts. Many of the under graduates of to-day show very little of this'ardent wish for learning, and lit tle preference in tho choicp of subjects offered for study, so that we ourselves as students are much to blame for the way in which we are taught. We have made teaching necessary by neglecting learning. Nevertheless there is too much teach ing. and until someone will devise a system whereby more Is left to tho student. and fixed standards arc not insisted upon, universities will contin ue to bo" a graveyard for the ambitions of youth. DR. P. S. PITTENGER TO CONDUCT DEMONSTRATION Doctor P. S. Pittenger of Philadelph ia has just recently informed the Lie big Chemical Society .and the Pre-Mcd- Ic.al Society that he will be in State College’ on May third, and will deliver a lecture before the two societies men tioned. Doctor Pittenger is one nf the foremost chemical and pharmaceutical authorities in the country, being em ployed as such by the H. K. Mulford Chemical Company of Philadelphia. Besides his work with the company. Doctor Pittenger also teaches at Tem ple University located in the same city. The lecture to be delivered will show the standardization of materials used in medicine that cannot be standard ized chemically. This chemical expert will prove the truth of the statement by means of tests on small animats such ns guinea pigs, rats, dogs, and rabbits. This demonstration is boing planned by a joint committee of the Liebig Chemical Society and the Pre- Medical Society.

Along Sport Lines ADVANCE DOPE OX THE PENN RELAY CARNIVAL The Twenty-ninth Annual Relay Carnival will be held this year at Franklin Field on April twenty-seventh :md twenty-eighth. This famous event •s the biggest track and field event held any place In the world and this year -it will be of especial interest for. In addition to the usual entries from i the .West and Middle West, the Carr | nival will have an international flavor j due to the fact that thc-Unlversity of Oxford will be represented in the two j mile relay championship. ! Twice the Englishmen have invaded j country, and on both occasions the j British teams have defeated the best j ' track talent of the American colleges. ] In 1014 a combined Oxford-Cambridge ] j ’.earn defeated the University of Penn- | ! sylvania by a hair in one of the most ! sensational races that has ever been •stage:! in this country. On their sec i nd appearance a new record was hung up only to he lowered a year later by | the University of Pennsylvania. The . Oxford team will be very strong this iyc-ir hut the American teams are in • fine form to meet the threatened in : vasion. In the recent Indoor Inter collegiate Meet. Boston College ran the : distance in the fast time of 7:55Vi, with ] Penn State but a stop behind in second place. | Although the international race will | be the big feature of the Carnival, the • other events promise plenty of excite ment with strong possibilities of new records, judging from the times that | have been clocked in the indoor meets : this season. ‘•Charley" Paddock jjf the I University of Collfornia, "Boots” Lever !of Pennsylvania and Leconey of La | fayette are a remarkable trio of record | breakers. Helfffrich of Penn State and ! Connolly of Georgetown have been run- Inlng close to record .figures In the mlddlcdistuncc events and Taylor 'of Princeton, Woodring of Syracuse, Kop j pisch of Columbia, and Baker of Vir | ginia have all ran the quarter mile in close to fifty seconds. In addition the West and Middle West will send a host of brilliant entries, to uphold the repu tation .of that section of the country. Pour hundred institutions, including eighty colleges have already entered the Carnival and with the now stadium at Franklin Field, seating forty thousand spectators, it is a safe prediction that this Carnival will excel all others In every respect.
