Nittany laintlnj and Publishing Co Building 31ember of LO tern lutercolleglato Noospoper Associallou Nees Editor this Issue - FRIDAY, OCIOBER 12, 1923 WHAT OF THE FRESHMEN? About this time last year, as a part of the two million dollar campaign for health and welfare buildings, a student drive was lainichLd with a goal of one hundred thousand dollars But a short time remained before the opening of the state-wide drive, and it V. a J a race against time to get one hundred dollars subscribed by Loch student before the date set for soliciting outside aid. Never before in the history of the Nittany institution had the loyalty and financial aid of each student been more urgently needed The splendid manner in which the test was met is now a matter of history This fear sees the inllu. of a new and untried group of Penn State rooters, an addition to the Nittany family It seems only fair that they, too, should he given an opportunity to do their bit for the institution For, in the event of a great state university supplant ing the college of today, there is no disputing the fact that they are the ones who will profit most materially. For the benefit of the new comers, .i brief survey of the campaign status, past and present, might not be amiss The failure of the state legislature to provide sufficient funds to meet the state educational demands, e'cpressed in the growing list of applicants for admission, was responsible for the conviction that Penn State should be the head of the state educational system Af ter a preparatoil period of publicity, a great two million dollar cam paign was started the proceeds of which would be devoted to the erection of only those buildings that would serve the welfare and Health of the undergraduates The faculty of the college set a goal of one hundred percent participation and pledged nearly that amount The student drive followed the faculty campaign and was a complete success The alumni and Noting population of the state were next called upon and contributed liberally, although their contributions were not up to the exnectetwns of those responsible for the project The emergency building fund total now stands at approximately $1,350,000 The goal has not yet been reached Here, then, is a splen did opportunity for Penn State's newcomers to lend their material support The% are now a part of the family; they should share its troubles as sell as its benefits A DISCOURAGING PRACTICE There is an axiom, oft-repeated and as often forgotten, that continued practice leads to habit, and habit, once formed, is hard to break It might be well to call the attention of the undergraduates to the practice, fast becoming a habit on the part of certain indi viduals, of taking books from the library shelves and forgetting to return them It may be attributed to absent-mindedness, forget fulness, procrastination, or, perhaps, to a combination of the three In any esent, the results are the same Day after day, week after week, month after month, books are checked out of the library and never checked in again Others come back eventually, after repented requests for them, much the worse for bad usage traced directly to carelessess on the part of the stu dents It is a deplorable situation For the library is intended pri manly for the use of the undergraduates, and it is not the desire of anyone to curtail their privileges in using it. It is discouraging, indeed, to those responsible for the proper maintenance of the library and the replacement of books, lost, stray ed or so badly misused that they are worthless. It is not a case of being too busy. The fact that certain of Penn State's faculty mem bers take out an average of forty books a week and have never once been charged with tardiness in returning them, disproves any such assertions. It is simply a case of gross neglect and misunderstanding of exist ing conditions on the part of the undergraduates. It is imperative that the practice is stopped. FOOD FOR THOUGHT It is a singular tribute to Penn State students in general, and to her underclassmen in particular, that the event of this year's first freshman class meeting witnessed none of the fighting and rough house practices incident to the initial gatherings of previous years The cooperation of the undergraduates in supporting Student Coun cil in its stand for the abolition of the post-meeting scrap, is a thing worthy of commendation. It is but another example of that wonder ful old Penn State spirit The abolition of all fighting in connection with the first fresh man class meeting is in keeping with a reform movement on the part of the college officials and faculty members for the extirpation of the rough-house practices incident to all of Penn State's customs The movement, inaugurated with the best interests of the institution at heart, is gaining rapid momentum. And the undergraduates are beginning to wonder where it is going to stop. Titus far, the Nittany students have given "Prexy" Thomas and his reform enthusiasts unanimous support, though, in some instances, with a feeling of hesitation. They have done this, believing that it was for the betterment of Penn State But there is a general pre vailing sentiment about the campus that enough concessions have been granted on the part of the undergraduates for this year at least. And it is a sentiment to be considered before more reforms are un dertaken. For students and faculty members do not always see things in the same light.
