TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1923 BETTER THAN GOLD Jus- .ecently, a boy of eighteen was willed a tuo-million dollar factoiy by an unknown ielati\e. Thousands of us will cry “Lucky boy” and tell the world what we would do under similar circum stances But this is what the boy himself said “I know* noth ing about the business I shall do my best, but what couldn't I do light now with thiec or four y cais expeiience in that factory behind me.” Wise boy. There aie too many young men m America today who under estimate the value of experience. Thousands of business cxccu ti\cs place a highei premium on fom years of experience than on four years of undergiaduate woik, although they realize that the college-trained man will undoubtedly stand a bctlci chance of getting ahead once he lias the experience What a combination both four yeais experience and fom yeais college tiaming would make’ And hundieds of Penn State men aie offered the oppor tunity of obtaining this “two-in-one” combination through the medium of the COLLEGIAN Tonight the COLLEGIAN calls out its cub repoiters fiom the class of 1929 Men who have spent four jears on this paper can vouch for the benefits denved. for the expeiience which will seive them in good stead in after life Not only those who intend to follow louinalism as a profession are benefited by experience on an undergraduate publication, but also those w ho enter any other field of endea\or. Sleeting people, lessons ol promptness and ac curacy, writing, concentration, attempts at sineeie effort, quick thinking, learning to pick out the important thing'',—the expou encc of a life time The new candidates will be sent thiough a pielinnnary six wcek tiaming couise, after which time they will be given legulav assignments and be made an important cog in the machtnery ol the paper. These men will work thiough this year and pail of next, being gpen mote important tasks as they increase in then knowledge of COLLEGIAN style and foint In the spung of l‘>27, six men of this group will be chosen as jumoi news editors. These editors will continue competition until the following year when the edilor-m-chief, assistant editor, managing editor and t ’u ec senior associate editors (ire selected. Thcie aie few m the present freshman class who can allow an opportunity such as this one to slide The time is tonight at seven o’clock. The place is Room 14, Libeial Aits Building. Ex perience and education all m one. Better than gold. IT TAKES SAND It was Ralph Waldo Emeison who once said that “The whole world loves a lover.” Emerson probably qualified the ciy of the ancient Greeks who centuries before were shouting “The whole world lo\es a good losei or an undeidog.” Millions pack Amer ica’s football stadiums each week to sec championship teams battle against lesser lights, and millions are pulling ioi the lesser lights to “come through.” Just one of the eccentiieiues of human nature. Class sciaps ha\e a somewhat similar psychological effect. When the treshmen and sophomoies moot m their annual battles, the two uppei classes usually stand on the sidelines and cheei for the fust-year men to emerge victorious, not because the yearlings me undeidogs, however, but because the sophomores aie to a college campus what a villain is to a movie thnllei There are also those who claim that it is embarrassing foi a second-year man to go out and suffer deteat at the hands of one who is, ac coidmg to tradition, his inferior. And it takes sand to go thiough with things under existing cncumstances ' Some college u*it will commit the inexcusable euor of making a pun to the effect that especially does it require sand in a sand bag sciap Nevertheless, the freshmen and sophomores will en gage tomorrow* afternoon m the annual sand-bag sciap, the fust underclass battle of the year. Once again, the first-year men are the favorites by virtue of their supposed populaiity, w*hile the sophomores aie the undeidogs. The class ol 1929 must be out m full force, oi suffei Tribunal pioccedings With 1928, attend ance is arbitraly, and it would be a sad state ot affans if the sophomores’ showing w*ould be such as to variant cues of “They don’t have the sand ” It is a well-known fact that cveiy class scrap last year was pronounced a failure because of the poor attendance of the sopho mores. Unknown to the majority of the student body, underclass scraps arc on probation, and if attempts at staging them this year meet with reverses m the form ot poor turnouts, they will prob ably be abandoned in the future. There is too much tradition behind class scraps to allow them to go by the wavsidc Once more, 1928 holds the upper hand. Letter Box To tl’c Editor, Penn State COLLEGIAN, Editor-in-Clncf Assistant Editoi Managing Editoi Associate Editoi Associate Editor Associate Editor Dear Su The othei wee l * while wilting a quiz, I was much displeased with what took place. One of the would be students was doing dishonest woik of which the instiuetor was aware, but said nothing. Within me I had a buining dome to walk out of the class Aflei the class I also noticed that the student and the instiuctoi weie quite “chummy" together. Sev ern! students have repotted similar cn«es in then classes It is also a lamentable fact that the students so detected get just as high a gtade as the honest student—if not higher, when the question of final giade comes up. W. P. Peed ‘27 IT. G. Womsloy ‘27 All this goes to show that grades m the long mn do not amount to much when “weighed in the balance" Much comment, both pio and con, has been ccntcied upon the idea of bung ing back the honor system to Penn State.

Hunting Equipment of All Kinds DEAN WARNOCK WRITES HOUSEPARTY CRITICISM Dean Warnock, commenting on last week’s house patties, said "On the whole, most of the pnities scented to |be w ell managed. Some of the pai ties made an especially fine impression on the visitor I was especially glad to notice an inci eased attendance of fac ulty and local alumni. This group have it in then hands to deteimine tne clinraclei of the vanous pm lies if they aie willing to take the icsponsi bility. “The paities varied ns usual in the good taste and social ability shown in management and in the character of the giiN No point seems to be ac cepted as a test moie often than tins lattoi, even among the students them selves. It is common to hear that the Gamm.D have a ‘fine bunch of gnis’ or that the Zctas have ‘a ciude bunch." “Time was about the usual numboi of pool spoits who peisisted in doing things which they know could not be come the general piacttce without compelling us to nbol<&h house pai tics. I never could discover bv wlmt claim these ofTcndets elected themselves to be speciallv pnvilegcd “Recently I lead a somewhat pio found scientific bulletin published by a western agucultural college, m which it was stated with nppaicnt authority that in cveiy pen there is at least one pig which peis.sts in get ting its foie feet and half its body into the feed tiough It called this pig a “troughei," and suggested that foi the good of the othets it be marked foi an cailv slaughter.
