A SUGGESTION
,Since the institution at Penn State, some fifty odd years ago,
of a self-governing student body, the added responsibility and oppor
tunity to fashion to a large extent their owp destinies has been in
strumental in the students introdficing many reforms, varying in
nature and importance.
Not all of these reform movements have met with the instan
taneous and unanimous appi oval of he students concerned. It is only
natural that they should not. But i it is a singular tribute to Penn
State's spirit of cooperation for thg good of the institution that all
of the suggested reforms were adopted whole-heartedly despite the
more or less personal Inconvenience: entailed on the part of the stu-
dents.
One of the most wide-spread and deeply imbedded habits of the
male element of the human race is!the habit of smoking. A magic
power seems to be within the dusky fumes capable of bringing un
told pleasures to the hearts of men: And students are by no means
immune from the subtle spell emplo'yed by the siren, Smoke
Some things are all right in their, place, and smoking is one of
these things. It is not the desire of anyone connected with the college
or the student government to curtail even the smallest personal priv
ilege of any Penn State man. The idea is simply to confine the use
of that privilege to the proper channels.
Numerous objections have been raised recently to smoking in
Y. corridors and halls of Old Main The objections are reasonable
and well-founded. Old Main, the most, his'toric structure on the camp
us, serves as the Administration building of the college.. The tradi
tions of the institution originated to a large extent within its walls.
It is the first objective of proud students, pointing out the featutes
of the college to visiting parents or friends. Its class rooms are filled
with more women students than those of any other building on the
campus. And it is a fire trap,—a tinder box.
Respect for the traditions of Old Main, the administrative offices,
and the women students who attend'classes in this historic old build
ing, should be sufficient reason for a ban on smoking in its corridors
and halls But constant and immediate danger of fire and destruc
tion of property, perhaps life itself, demands the cooperation of the
students in this new reform idea for, the good of Penn State.
No man will suffer greatly by, refraining from the customary
smoke between classes in Old Main. Indeed, he may benefit thereby
And if he must smoke, let him move outside the doors of this vener
able old structure.
The rush and attendant confusi l pn of matriculation and 'registra
tion days are over, the freshmen are gradually learning their position
on the campus, things are becoming more settled in general, and Penn
State takes on a more natural and stable appearance. It is well; for
it is time to get down to work.
The success of any race is not 'solely dependent utien the start,
but it is a foregone conclusion that a good start is of material ad
vantage to the participant. Especially is this true in the race to keep
above the danger line in scholastic and academic work. Habits form
ed at the start are apt to become fixtures. It is of fundamental im
portance, therefore, that the right kind of habits are formed.
Procrastination, the thief of time, keeps telling the student to
wait a while; it is not necessary to start studying so soon. But Pro
crastination is the student's most dangerous enemy,—a self-invited
companion to be avoided.
The principles and fundamentals , of any course are necessary to
the student for a complete understanding of that course. Now is the
time to begin absorbing those principles. Now is the time to create
a favorable impression in the eyes of the instructor. For, however
it may be disputed, the fact remains that first impressions are lasting
to a considerable extent.
Every year when the day of reckoning comes, some students are
found wanting. They are dropped by the wayside. Almost invariably
their trouble can be traced directly to a pd'or start. Upperclassmen
have learned these things from experience. It is for the freshmen,
in particular, that this article is written. Get a good start and make
the finish doubly sure.
WELCOME !
It is the exacting duty as well as the peculiar privilege of the
COLLEGIAN to welcome all newcomers to Penn State and extend to
them the hospitality of the college, thereby voicing the sentiments
of tho student body. Such privilege w . as accorded a short time ago
.
when the members of the Class of 1927 made their debut as freshmen
at this institution.
But all of the freshmen did not enter at that time. One first
year man was absent, a man destined to be productive of more good,
perhaps, than anyone else connected with the institution,—The Rev.
Dr. Fraser Metzger, Penn State's new college chaplain.
To this same Dr. Metzger, a national figure in religious, civic,
political and welfare life, a freshman at this institution, and withal
an advisor and "daddy" to the students, Penn State bids a hearty
welcome. The students are back of him. They pledge complete co
operation. ,
