Member of Eastern Intercollegiate Newspaper Association News Editor this issue FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16. 1925 WELCOME TO THE MOTHERS Each spiing, for three years, Penn Slate has been tin ov. ins wide its doors to the Dads of students. Tomoirow, ior the first lime, the College formally welcomes the Motheis. The COL 3,EGTAN voices the unanimous sentiment of the entire student body when it greets them with the gicatest cordiality Mothers’ Day fills a real need in undcigiaduate life, a need that lias existed for years. Undei the best circumstances it is neces sarily difficult for the parents of students thoroughly to under stand the joys and the difficulties, the pioblems and the accom plishments which gieet their sons and daughters on a college campus. Letters, no mattei how carefully or frequently written, cannot comey a realistic picture to the folks at home; the ac counts of acti\ ities and of the son or daughter at home during vacations can haidly present an-accuiate one. A visit to the campus, even though it be hasty, is infinitely more \aluable. Nittany students now have the oppoitumty of welcoming their Motheis in a gioup They want them to take e\ery advantage offered by that welcome—to learn all they can about Penn State, to absoib some of the spint, and to enjoy themsehes. Theirs is the campus and all that is on it! LIFE SAVER NEEDED Cries of “Help’’ on crowded beaches invariably bi mg foi th multitudes of handsome lifeguards But Penn State, erving for help as it is tossed about on the educational sea. receives as muon succoi as a beggar who asks for alms and at the same time rides around in a milhonane’s limousine The dilemna has finally awak ened the student body. It foims the main topic for discussion at meetings of various alumni associations. Educators consider the matter from eteiy angle: paicnts of students think they see a fly in the ointment, but still the lifeguaid keeps Ins distance. Last June, Dr. John M. Thomas electrified Penn State by re signing fiom the presidency of the College to accept a similar position at Rutgers. Three months later came the announcement that Chaplain Metzger had also resigned here to take over a post at the New Jersey institution And now, to everybody's conster nation, Professor N. C. Miller, head of the Engined mg Extension department here, announces that he w ill follow Doctors Thomas and Metzger. Penn Slate renews her dies for help, clinging to the hope that someone will come foiwaid with assistance If Dr. Thomas saw* p. gicater future-for hini'-elf at Rutgeis, lie acted wisely in’accepting'the position Penn Slate, according to his w*ay of thinking, had niuch less to offer and in these davs. a man is considered a fieak of nature if he fails to look out ior himself fiist. And so with Dr. Metzger and Professor Miller. IL Rutgers offeied gicater educational and financial opportunities, which it undoubtedly did. then it w’ould have been follv for them to have lcmamcd hcie But this is not ail Rumor has it that soveial others aie in line to go to the New Jeisev school m the near lutuie—mote to w*orry about. Di Thomas has been criticized on all sides He has-been held i esponsible for Chaplain Metzger’s lcsignation He is said to have induced Professor Miller to leave hcic._ If such is the case. Penn State’s foimer “Picxy” is to be piai.xed, not condemned. When Di Thomas came heic four years ago. he had the welfare of this College at heait. He surrounded himself with men whom ho thought could best help him with the realization of this ideal Then when he saw no future at Penn State, he left to go to Rutgeis . To New* Brunswick, he took with him the same deter mination and hopes with w*hich he came to the Nittany alley. Is he to be condemned for taking men who can help him and at the same time help themselves? Penn State should not tin ow un her arms in despair and biaml the ex-president as unfaithful. He is doing light in the eyes of those who give the matter the slightest considciation. Penn State must learn to accept these incidents as natural occuircnces as incidents which are certain to become big issues from time to time, whether the future resignees go to Rutgers or othei institu tions. Let us hope and faithfully pi ay that before Penn State is shipped of everything but her student body and a few under paid instructors, aid will be forthcoming. THIS AND THAT Penn State has one custom that applies to scmois, juniors, sophomores and freshmen alike. It is the custom that requires students to greet each other with a cheery “Iloilo.” In the hustle and bustle of the first few weeks of College, the custom was partly cast by the wayside with the lesult that the student body today has taken an indifferent attitude toward the enforce ment of this phase of “regulations.” In the case of this custom, each student should constitute himself as a tribunal. “Hello’s” broadcast from one end of the campus to the other gives the Nittany institution not only a democratic background but also a cheery atmosphere, two things that aie necessary to the life and spirit of Penn State.
