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.
