§Ttibi&TGOgii&ME&TifIRSTLIDENT GOVERNED?
Announcement that the college calendar foe next year will remain
in its original forte as drawn up by the Senate Coin'mince is an inter
esting side-light in the discussion on student government versus
student regulation A petition presented by Student Council sug
gesting changes in the calendar for the coming )ear caused not a
ripple in the quiet calm of the College Senate at its regular meeting
last week According to information gathered by a reporter of this
newspaper, the petition was read and then completely ignored
' It would seem that the time has arrived for a workable under
standing of the powers and limitations at student government at
Penn State Recent developments suggest that the powers of Stu
dent Ccuncil are imaginary quantities, that this supposedly govern
ing body exists only as a convenient medium for dhe handling of rou
tine tasks and problems of little consequence, that the opinions of its
members or representatives are not even considered when affairs of
greater moment affecting the welfare of the undergraduates are being
discussed. In other words, calling a spade a spade, the Student Wel
fare Committee of the College Senate seems to be the power behind
the throne and Student Council, as an administrative body, would ap
pear a mere figure-head.
The students at Penn State are not trying, to run the College.
rar be it from that. They realize the greater experience of die.r
superiors and are willing to abide by their decisions if their powers
are to be absolute. But they were under the imp - ession, until this
year, that a student government existed at this institution and, thus
disillusioned, they simply wanted a voice in final enactments for their
own welfare.
If Student Council has ceased to function satisfactorily as a gov
erning body, as has been intimated on several occasions, there is no
disputing the right of the Welfare Committee to handle problems
which would seem ordinarily to come under the Jurisdiction and with
in the province of the undergraduate body. But has Student Council
failed in its purposes Is it incapable of hassling problems of great
er consequence affecting the welfare of the students' ) These are
the questions upon which the whole discussion seems to hinge at pre
sent.
Several statements have been made by members of the faculty to
the effect that powers are simply delegated to student governing bod
ies and are subject to recall when these bodies prove themselves in
capable. That is true, and every Penn State undergraduate recog
nizes the necessity for such a provision and the need for the advice
and guidance of more mature minds. But, in the opinion of the
students, there has been no just provocation this year for the conver
sion of the Senate Welfare Committee from the position of a protec
torate to that of a dictatorship.
The fact that the petition presented by Student Council relative
to the college calendar was rejected is of no particular consequence.
The implied inference that it was noceven consuleted worthy of dis
cussion is the thing that hurts.
INATTENTION
The statement was made recently by a college professor before
one of his classes that curiosity is a sign of mental alertness. A re
mark of this nature opens up the way for considerable comment on
the attitude taken by the majority of students in this institution with
respect to class room work.
It is an accepted fact that where the best results arc to be ob
tained in curriculum endeavor, the student must do his share. The
instructor cannot force a subject down the throat of anyone who lacks
interest in the course. On the othei hand, it bermes a pleasure for
a professor to teach when he knows that his efforts arc well received.
It is a common thing to see several men sleeping in a lectdre
class, to see others reading books or newspapers or talking to their
neighbors. It is certain that the instructor notes this lack of atten
tion and his reaction is soon apparent in the manner of his lecture,
for it is next to impossible for any man, no :natter how capable, to
make his course readily understood where such conditions prevail
Many courses become burdensome for this very reason. Inattention
on the part of a few individuals thus indirectly affects everyone in
the class.
Attention is defined as close mental application—just the opposite
of inattention. It is something to he cultivated and may not come
easy to those not used to exercising their mental faculties, but with a
little patience the habit will grow and it is surprising how much real
enjoyment may be gained in the process. The student soon takes
pride in his accomplishment and, without knowing it, he has n new
attitude toward his work in general
Little need be said about the relative merits of lectures and dis
cussion groups, although there is much that could be said on both.
The fact remains that in order to get even a lair knowledge of any
subject a proportionate amount of time must be spent in earnest study.
Inattention defeats its own end, for this very condition makes it hard
er to eventually master the subject. Where a class is mentally alert,
there is an entirely different atmosphere present than in the case
where a class is mentally sluggish. Instead of feeling that teaching
is distasteful and that it is merely something to occupy an hour's time,
the instructor is interested even more titan the students. As a result,
instead of being burdensome, the hour will pass more quickly and
with much more profit to all concerned.

OF THE MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
A GRADUATE Scnoot. offering a course of study lead-
Wit to die &tree of Master of Science,with field stations
in the plants of sec different companies. These com
pinies produce 'Steel, pulp, paper, caustic soda, chlorine,
heavy acids itrui salts, sugar, gas, ammonia, berm!, etc.
The more important mat operations of chemical
engineering are studied systematically by means of tests
and - experimental work on full scale plant apparatus.
The Work is isholly educational and independent of
control by the plant managements. The attention of the
siudentis directed exclusively to the study of Chemical
Engipeeiing. •
The total number admitted to the school is limited
and the students, studying and experimenting in small
'gfoups, receive individual instruction from resident pi o.
