However, when the responsibility is placed and the incumbent fails to faithfully discharge his duties, he places a millstone about his neck and at the same time biands lus associates with the mark of failuie. In the past, too many undoigraduale leadeis at Penn! State have been content to lest upon past laurels* once they weie elected to important positions with the lesult that several phases ot student government fell into bad lepute The lesponsibihty thrust upon those men, instead of piepanng them for lives ot service, assisted m leading them towards a future of indolence, 'Tiwa*- ctitcarfd* a uoild-owes-me-a-living attitude Althougji it took Penn State men many years to commehend both sides of this question, they seemingly came to life last vcai and recognized the fact that the fault did not he entnelv with the elected—the electors were also to blame. And so it happened that duung the eaily part of May, Student Council awoke fiom its lethargy and gave to the Penn State undet graduate oody a new' system of class elections, designed to obtain a tiuly lenic sentative vote and place men in office who would lake their duties in a serious manner and fulfill the chaige with which thev weie entrusted. Should a ci isis arise in the future, it is doubtful if student leaders could do another thing to alleviate matters in legald to irresponsible men holding high offices—they have aheady done as much as is humanly possible. And while the ma»oiity of un dergraduates sit back in watchful waiting, a son'll inmo.itv realizes that with the student government of 1920-2 b rests the fuluie ot all Penn State student governments, Failtpo to dis charge duties m a business-like manner this year will mean that not only the leadeis, but also their electois who comprise the membeis of the three uppei] classes, aie totally unfit tor even minor responsibilities *To be or not to be” might well be applied to student govern ment as it faces the most pieearious year in a decade If undei graduatc leaders fail, as many of then precleceosoi i have m the past, a gioomy outlook is the prospect But il they fulfill their duties as they should and “piepaie themselves foi lives of real sei rice,” then the futuie is bright and thcie is nothing to fear HELP! HELP! Just as summer brings mosquitoes, so the opening of colleges and universities throughout the country brings the annual “pin ning” of the American undergraduate Clevci wliters sit back m high-powered limousines, puichased from the checks they re ceive ior their aiticles against the student, convinced thet thev have ka’somincd the poor public with the proveibial “hokum.” and the funny part of it is, they have done just this. One of our humoious magazines gives us a cartoon, depicting flasks and high-ball shakeis as necessaiy school supplies and things of this sort, together with the poisonous articles of the deceptive literati, have more oi less turned the American public against the college and university of today. A moie critical survey of umvcisity life is necessary if the public is to be convinced that all is not gold that glitters These literary bunko-artists tell us that when Nietzsche, the great philosopher, introduced a wild philosophv at the Umvoisity of Basel in Switzerland many years ago, students veto at laid to attend his classes. Then they go on to tell ns that N’ol/ che’s same philosophy today, taught as Nietzsche truant it. would serve as a magnet for every adheient ot inis mo ki a * ; i/y age ” At the same time, they should mioim the public that wu * Maik Twain living today, he would write books entiieh' mflcieoi fiom those that now beai lus name Times have changed, out these manufactuieis of fiction cast this point aside m lever or hrnou smes and palatial mansions. It is piobably impossible to change human natmc So the student must go about his way, the non-college puphe will g r,p at cartoons and articles and Henry Ford will wonder why he tails to sell his pioduct to these “undergraduate evpo>eis” GENTLEMEN Tell a person that a certain book has been suppiessed and he will make every effort to obtain it. Tell a college student to “grow up” and it has the same effect as a icquest to act the age of six. In the past, no small amount of rowdyism has accompa nied cv cry Y M. C.

Penn State is attempting to ofTei men and women not only a text-book educa tion. but also enlightenment along social customs and standauls Tonight, the "Y*' will stage its annual reception foi freshmen on the front campus and the committee makes but one request, that all in attendance conduct themselves in a manner befitting gentlemen.
