BELOW GRADES
With the termination of the first eight weeks of the collegiate
year appears the usual flood of yellow slips of paper which signify
student failures, in various courses. The antipathy of the first issue
of the notice of failures this year lies in the fact that there has been
a four percent increase above the total number of belows sent out last
year While many of these failures have been issued to the freshmen,
it is not to be supposed that the upperclassmen have been rated as
being one hundred percent scholastically eligible
Without dcubt a certain percentage of these below grades will
be raised to the passing standard before the close of the semester
and for those who have incurred only one failure there is ample op
portunity tc remote, or at least better the condition before the Christ
mas vacation period begins
. .
What is most striking about below grades is the seeming lack
of seriousness with which some students view the matter. A student
with more than one below grade finds himself in a serious predica
ment if he is still encumbered with the condition when he returns
to college in January Little time is left for a review and the stu
dent must necessarily sacrifice some other subject in an attempt to
raise his grade in the delinquent course. January is too late a date
to start a "study campaign" to acquire a passing grade
There still remains two weeks for hard work and serious think
ing before the vacation period During that time many of these con
ditions can be eliminated and so allow the undergraduate to go homc
with a tarnished but clean slate In the words of a, well-known pub
lishing company try this over on your text books "Now is the time
for all good students to come to the aid of the below grades"
SEASONAL. SPIRIT
Football, the greatest of all collegiate sports, is over and once
again the college student assumes a more passive attitude and perhaps
an air of indifference as he settles down into the more serene atmos
phere of books and monthly quizzes
In some respects Penn State has learned a great lesson during the
recent grid season. Nothing will be said of comparative scores, for
in the main they count but little Attention is called, however, to the
fact that the isiittany football tenni was well supported during the
entire season It was only such support as was evidenced when the
team was in its mos t
, dire straits that maintained the enthusiasm until
the final whistle of the last game But now that the lure of the goal
posts has flickered and died it is well to revive that support and to
put it into practice for the remainder of the year But instead of
directing the effoi t toward tootball let it be turned into a more serious
channel so that it will aid in the development of this great college
Penn State, as an institution for higher learning, will continue as
such regardless of football or any other sport. While it is true that
participation in an intercollegiate sport lends dignity and prominence
to an institution, it is also a fact that if such.participation and team
support is to be the backbone of the institution there will be little
material development for the college during periods other pan those
when the contests are in progress
Penn State spirit, as has been said before, is not a mere indulg
ence in the College Yell or a willingness to enter a class scrap. It is
something that conies from within the undergraduate, and it is that
which prcmpts nice and women to strive untiringly for their Alma
Mater Penn State spirit is not confined to one period of the year,
it does not die when the football season is over, is IS not something,
which, like an old fire, lies dormant for days, only to be fanned into
life by a sudden gust of wind—the first football genie.
To achieve and retain Penn State spirit the individual must ap
ply that verse of scripture which reads• "Seek and ye shall find"
Penn State students have not yet unearthed the true Penn State spirit.
It lies deep; let's dig it out
THE WOMAN OF TODAY ,
Bobbed, closely-cropped hair and linen collars, a masculine stride
and quite a general deportation from the feminine—such are the out.
ward characteristics of the woman of today In the morning she
shops, in the afternoon it is the club or reception, and she dances or
theatres in the evening. All womeno Certainly not, but many of
them and their numbers are constantly increasing.
The woman of today is busy—just as busy as she can be in twenty
lour hours She has a necessity for masculihe attire, for she !mist
work and play decidedly harder than did her grandmother.
ke the college woman for example, forty hours of eollege v ark
a week, preparation and classes, is a fair average for the majority.
If she is not healthy, courageous and tolerant it would e& impossible
for her to live in this day of strenuous effort She heeds must he a
person who can walk miles from class-robm to class-rotifn during the
week, devote some time to conscientious study and still find time for
play. Then there is the self-supporting girl Who by• necessity is
toreed to find time for work she has the harder lob
"Higher standaids of enci gy and idea's of health have been
Adopted by women today as a matter ot necessity Thei, have turned
to the things for which they are ciititased because the, must belong
to 'the fittest' or be lost. They are interested in 'outside' life because
bungalow and apartment house-keeping cannot fill the day of an
active woman And they must be health), m accordance with the
'nervous tension of toda, 's ctuhzntirn Today health is tti; sincere
standard of women—especially college women The Lritieism that
they are 'masculine' is absurd To be healthy is not necessarily to be
masculine. And it is necessary "
