FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1925 “DADDY*’ GROFF “East is East and West is West and ne\ci the twain shall meet.” Pei haps no othei single e\ent has cau c ed more doubt in the truth of Kipling's classic aphorism among Penn State men than the visit of “Daddy” Groff and the message which he car ries to the Nittany Valley fiom the Orient. Ever since Sir. Groff has earned on the woik of the College in China, Penn State students have been pioud both of their man and their outpost of Amcncan thought across the Pacific The enterprise was woithy in every sense of the word and the tact that the original spnit which sponsored it has not fallen off din ing the years was comincingly shown last spung by the agitation •for an increase in financial aid for. the Canton Christian College duiing the planning of the Spaiks Memonal. The use of the funds foi another purpose, also of impeccable worth, was agteed upon only after the student committee came to an undei standing that a very substantial increase m Support should be piovidcd for the Ling Nam institution this year. The visit of “Daddy” Groff has been paiticulaily oppcilune, for an active student committee can now decide upon the definite puipose to which this support will be put All of the pioposcd plans are far-reaching. It is well, foi whatever the final decision, there can be no possible doubt that it will meet the uri\ci\«il and spontaneous lesponse of the student body. The woik of the Canton Christian College is much moie than a sign of Penn State’s good will toward China, much moie than an offering of progressive methods m agriculture and industry, it is a real bond between two continents, a bond that is proung mutually valuable both m practical affans and m the mtei change of the finest developments of two eiviii7atious ACTION NEEDED There are few members ot the student bodv who will deny the tact that the ireshmen arc “getting away with it” It has been many years since fust-year customs were held m such low icgiu cl, many jears since the yearlings have pioudly exhibited gross misconduct and disrespect of upperclassmen The sopho moies aic lax, the juniors seem mdiffeient, the seniors have washed their hands of the matter, and the freshmen —the fresh men arc gloiymg in a new-found fieedom. The class of 1928 has been responsible for this conduct on the part of the first-ycai men, for its membeis have failed m the art of pnmaiy discipline. On Wednesday night, the sophomores dis played their fust signs of life, and then it was the amlicial icac tion of a class meeting, not nccessai lly an innate desire to uphold their tiaditional honor, that urgec] them on. 1 Within the next few days,*l929 will be initiated into the trials and tabulations ot Stunt Night. When Poster Night was abol ished four yeais ago, Stunt Night pioved a suitable substitute, for it iurmshed the sophomores with a means wheieby the first year men could be taught then place without the u*c of “iough house” tactics. Many innovations each year ha\c added to the success of Stunt Night and this year, moie than c\ei before, it is necessary for the class of 1928 to mtioducc new ideas which will cairy the fieshmen thiough a safe and sifne, \cl highly m structne, initiation. Penn State looks to the sophomoies foi the enfoi cement of freshmen customs Thus far, they have failed. Stunt Night will furnish an excellent opportunity for the second-yeai men to “wash away their sms.” BOTANICAL EXPEDITION CHOOSES CAMPING SITE Although the puty of twelve that niotoicd to Tioul Run last SntuuUiy was primuilv a botanical expedition, Piof L 0 Oveibolts who had ciuuge of the part}, made it a pioneering expedition .is well. Piofessoi Oveibolts very efficiently plated the pail of Daniel Boone, and while the scouts, Profchsois llill and Kelly, sttpei intended the collection of many unusual plant specimens, ho selected a camping site. To lend at mosphere to the .situation, the students and piofesaois decided to tent on the camp giound.
