Member of Eastern Intercollegiate Newspaper Association News Editor this issue FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1925 CLEAN BILLS It is with genuine satisfaction that we hail the action taken bv Student Council on Tuesday night with vega id to the control of class finances. The COLLEGIAN bids loyful faiewell to situa tions which, in the past, have demanded ailing, airing which has been umfoimly unpleasant Under the new system the trcasurei of each class will auto matically become an ex-officio member of e\crv committee spend ing class money. Before any expenditures aie made the treas urer will help each committee draw up a definite budget, check it to his own satisfaction, and then submit it to the general Interclass Finance committee for final approval The method is by no means no\cl; it is simply an application of standard busi ness practice. Without downright dishonesty on the part ot a number of men, the system cannot fail to be satisfactoi v Student Council has done well. It is, • peihaps, unfouunate that an> precautions should be necessaiy. Men woikmg for then own classmtcs might reasonably be entrusted with the handling of money without supervision of any kind: the very fact that their classes had reposed complete tiust m them being sufficient to restrain anv hidden tendency towaid what may best be called carelessness. In theory such a situation is ideal. In piactice it is poor business During past years there have been lcpeated occasions when committees have been suspected ot breaking iaith, ha\e been accused of inexcusable caielessness m matteis involving large sums. Nothing could be proved on either side and. innocent or guilty, *he committeemen canied the burden of suspicion during the rest of their undei graduate days. It is not simply as a check on and expendituies that the new system will piove most beneficial; its gicatcst usefulness will lie m relieving the membeis ot committees from the inev itable accusations and suspicions. A few dollais more or less m the class treasury are worth just that—a few dollars. The reputation of a man is priceless. THE OLD PENN STATE . Tomonow, Penn State's football team plavs its first game ot the season on foreign soil, when it meets Georgia Tech m New Yoik. The big Southern team is good. In the words of “Be*/, ’ the Lion eleven, with its lighter combination and its unlned back field, is this yeai the “under clog”. In older to defeat the South ern machine on Saturday, the Blue and White faces a temfic task, but a tusk which can be accomplished w ith the backing of an oki ume Penn State. In the Auditoimm on Wednesday night, at the football mass meeting, something was robotn. A senioi icmaikcd aftciwau! that something was piesent which he had felt but seldom in the past lour yeais. Men spoke ol “spmt” and “battling” and “see ing the thing thiough” in wouls which came iiom the heait, ar.d a Penn State clean spoke of iLcombinod-, spirit of faculty and students in one 6f the most stirring addieases ot the evening. Long minutes of ri'otous cheeiing giceted “Be::" as he stepped to the stage. I his is as it should be. <This is the old Penn State m action, the Penn State which in ’2O and ’2l pi oduccd teams famous throughout the East and West. This is the outward demolish a- ; lion oi the loyalty and spirit which must exist behind champions, behind winning teams. It is the spmt which makes a team fight stubbornly on foreign fields for the “bunch at home”. . Woiking harder than evei, the Nittany team has found this spirit, has pledged itself to a mighty effort toward \ ictory tomoi iow In the mass meeting, the student bodv' pledged itself to the icbom spirit and accepted the challenge to right that some thing which has been wrong. If these two pledges aie fulfilled, if the old spmt, nowr awak ened, is sustained; the Golden Tornado will leturn to Atlanta with eolois lov’eied—Penn State will wnn. The spirit ot the Nit tany Lion will ha\c tnumphed. THIS AND THAT The student body always has prided itself on its support of all Penn State teams, oveilooking perhaps the fact that dining the fall there are spoils other than football. Tomorrow, the soccer game with Lehigh is the only athletic event on home grounds. For six years the Nittany team has not had a defeat, fighting its way to victoues w’lth practically no sup port from the undcigraduates. It is a sadly weakened team, howevei, that faces the Biown and White tomorrow', and real cheering is needed to help win the game An active enthusiasm for every spoit is vital to the life and spirit oi Penn State.
