Adler TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1925 THAT SPIRIT There has been talk about the campus of an indomitable spii it, a spmt that has often carried Penn State athletic teams to gret: victories when the outlook was darkest. The oldest undergrad uates of the present student body look back, and find traces of this sp.itt—just tiaces, they claim. They have failed to look far enough Saturday afternoon, a Blue and AVlnle soccer team, unde feated for six yeais, battled against a piofessional team that had but one week before defeated the University of Pennsylvania's inteicollegiate championship combination As the whistle blew* for the opening play, a meie handful of spectators were m attendance, and they came meiely for the novelty of seeing Penn State go down to its fiist defeat since 1918. But they were doomed to dis appointment. Foi the Nittany Lion battled on, lefused to give ground when defeat stared it in the face, and emerged with a scoieless lie, a moral victory in elfect With few to lend them encoiuagement trom the side linos, •without the tumultous cheeiing from the giamlstands and with out the slightest hope of slaving off an impending defeat. Penn State’s soccei lepresentatives came through, came through ps no othei Blue and White athletic team lias in ages They proved to the student body that this indomitable spmt still exists with Penn Stale athletes, if only on the soccer squad. ; For six years, Nittany soccer teams have been phiymg at home to the smallest possible crowds Foi six years the> have played against superior teams, supenoi in the fundamentals of the game but not m spint And for six yeais Penn State’s teams have never come off a field defeated. They have given Penn State the most enviable leputation possible in mteicollegiate soccer aides, a leputation that can be attested to by the oveiflow’ ciowd that gieets them whenever they appear on foreign fields Let no undergiaduate say that “That Spmt” has died It si ill lives—with the soccer team. Men that have done as much lor Penn State as these soccer men deserve a better fate DEPENDABILITY FIRST The failings of college students- as a, type are so often pmcly the failings of youth-m general that critical comment on them is ollcn useless. The great maj'oiity are the natmal iaults of im matimly. There is one, however, which is far more apparent in the college man than in his non-college fellow. By the age of twenty or twenty-one, the man who has a job and is foiced to lely on his own lesources has awakened to the lact that dependability, sustained and consistent dependability, is the gieatcst factor m determining his future. If he is natuially irresponsible and thoughtless, as most young men arc. his boss is more than willing to give him the choice of correcting the fault or finding a new' job. With a man of any ambition, the decision h easy and if the coirection proves difficult the boss is always at hand to check up. As a result, by the time the college man is receiving his diploma the non-college man has alieady acqimed one of the most important assets for success. The college student has had no boss to check up on his actions. Ills instiuctors, it is true, succeed in pounding into him a ceitain ot dependability in legarcl to requited woik, but in almost all of his other actions the only discipline comes fi om “bavvhng ouls,” easily disiegarded, irom fellow classmates. Small wonde'', then, that many a college giaduate, highly trained, finds his 1-iogresb discouragingly slow for a yeai oi two. lie is working under a trying handicap; the complaint of Ins employci is le-s often, “You don’t know enough” than “I can’t depend on you ” In the words of a great Pennsylvania mduslnal executive in charge of some thousands of men, “Reliability msuies a steady job; lehability plus ability guaiantce piomotion, lehabihty, pin’, ability, plus personality bring success, but—reliability is the first lequirement.” Every undergiaduate can gauge very effectively his progress dining the first two years after graduation by assuming that his college woik is under the supervision of a critical boss and then calculating the reactions of that boss to his methods of doing things; his response, for instance, to the timc-tued foimula to bo used on committee chan men, “Sorry, I simply forgot about that meeting; you know how it is.” Habits of four years standing are hard to break; if the student “foi gets” and lets things slide throughout his college career he probably vyill be tolerated by his instructors and his associates, but after graduation, despite the diploma in his hand, ho will find the “cold, cold world" very cold indeed.

Hence, wo found him (that is, some one did) buying a pen for $1 37 - today only and putting the difference between that and the pace of a Parkor Duofold in books— good book 3, too, let it bo un derstood. And passingcbanta bly f" or some profane lapses, he got along with it till gradu ation, and then some. We’re liberal— it would make a mark whenyou pressed:!, frequently. But Knnk)e,whh this penny grasping trait, went bankrupt three years sftor graduation. And ho never did amount to much after. Jack Free, on theother hand, had ar> eye to quality, beauty, and—oh yes—quality. His sec ond week in college found him with a Parkor Duofold. Makes no difference if ho did steal it— ho knew what sort to steal, and tho victim bought another Parkor,anyway Well, to coin a phraso, that was Just liko Jack, and ho graduatod and signed hi? first chock with a flourish and a Parker. And, duo, it must be admitted in fairness by all, to this bohef and insistence on quality at all costs, h a went stony broke in two yesrs. So thero really was little ad vantage in the Parker Duofold over the orphan-pen, except having something docent to writo with during the period mentioned.
