THE SUMMER SESSION PROBLEM
Just how many Penn State students realize the importance of
maintaining the good name of Penn State at all times is a question
which has recently been brought to the minds of the undergraduates
'I his is the opportune time to admonish the student as to the impor
tance of adhering to the ideals of Penn State during every season of
the year which includes the usually enjoyable periods of Christmas
Easter and summer ‘acaticns It is with the hope of developing an
institution that will function the entire year round that much :men
tion and no little effort is expended every year to make the Summer
Session more elaborate in its many details than in any previous year
No matter how large the success of the Summer School may be in at
tendance, new courses introduced, larger staff cF instructors and all
the rest, the efforts of the Administration will be placed in a
hazardous position if the social conduct of those who sojourn here
in the summer months is not up to the standards set during the
winter term.
A movement has been advocated toward establishing a Student
Council to be effective during the Summer School, but this plan has
its disadvantages in that it will not be truly representative of the Penn
State undergraduates and Penn State's ideals, and in that there will
be no direct connecticn or responsibility emstent between the two
student bodies What is needed is a plan whereby those undergrad
uates who are to attend the Summer School can readily give their
cooperation to the Administration at such times as it is deemed nec
essary to put to an end any disorder that may arise.
It is not so much the matter of having an executive body of stu
dents to provide laws for the regulation of the Summer School as it is
to have a sense of cooperation between the Administration and Penn
State students who will, in turn, impart that which is desirable in con
duct of everyone connected with - this institution during - the summer
term. This could readily be brought about by first seeking the co
operation of the house managers and secondly by a mass meeting of
Penn State students at the opening of the Summer School. It is
also desirous that a representative body of men be chokn to act as
an intermediary between the summer students and the Administration
In this way it is felt that both sides would be given an opportunity tc
make their desires known and so come to some agreeable understand
ing as to what is the correct procedure for all concerned.
AN APPRECIATION
Because success attends the man of greatest courage and veracity
tic is ever in demand for greater things. Such men are always
mourned when they depart, for with them goes their personality, that
part of their organization which is so essential to its proper function.
Penn State is today sorry to lose one of its most noteworthy attaches
in Frank I Olmstead, who for the past five years has been General
Secretary of the Penn State Young Men's Christian Association.
It was in the fall of 19th that Frank I Olmstead took up his
duties as Secretary of the "Y" and he had a man's job before him, for
things were in a dormant state as far as Y M. C. A activities were
concerned Working with a courage that spelled defeat for the ob
stacles that then confronted him, "Chief", as he is familiarly known
began a systematic rejuvenation of the spiritual life at Penn State
Today he is attended by greet,. success, not only as an organizer of men
but also as an evimple ct fortitude and courage.
It is with a mingled feeling of regret and joy that Penn State
bids him adieu as he is about to depart from the College which has
conic to know him so well. All are glad that his abilities have been
recognized and that greater things await him in his chosen field
It is unquestionable that "Chief" will continue his great work at the
Colorado School of Mines just as he has at Penn State If, five years
from now, the Colorado School can beast as much spiritual progress in
its student activities as can this institution, it will have every reason
for rejoicing in the man it has selected
But now the COLLEGIAN takes this opportunity to express the
gratitude and the appreciation of the undergraduates to Frank I
Olmstead for his great courage and his greater accomplishments on
the Penn State campus With him go the best wishes of the stu
dent body that success may attend his every endeavor in his newly
chosen held.
POLITICAL CLUBS
With the ever-increasing importance of national politics, the lea
ders of the several parties have attempted various methods and modes
of attack by which they may strengthen their following The latest
development along this line has been the organization of political
clubs at the various colleges and universities of the State. Some
colleges have two or more such organizations among•thc undergrad
uates and the discussions, led by men of national repute in polit
ical circles, have been instructive and interesting
In this way an opportunity has been presented the college man to
learn more about politics, parties and platforms in general. These
clubs sheuld, first of all, be instituted with the main purpose of dev
eloping and fostering a greater interest among college men toward mat
ters of civic nature From this standpoint they arc a good thing and
arc worthy of institution nod support by every American college.
Such organizations should seek to be instructive in their nature and
work toward the betterment of state and national politics. They
should also be, in a more or less degree, non-partisan in tAhir atti
tude; their }unction being to present the issues and policies in ques
tion, together with critical comments on the records and platform of
the parties and candidates. Hence the organization is bread and can be
utilized for the mutual advantage of all students, whatever be their
political convictions.
A report front good sources indicates that Pennsylvania ranks
first among eastern states in the organization of political clubs within
the colleges and universities. The organization of political clubs at
Penn State, such as are existent at other Pennsylvania institutions,
would afford the undergraduates an opportunity to prepare for a
more active citizenship after graduation. ,
