The scene is any indoor athletic event. Moic than fifteen hundred undeigraduates, nitwits thej : hnuld be called, sit in the bleachers. A lady walks into the An.ioiy. This is the cue for the nitwits They send foith a sonc> of cat calls and whistles. The lady is embanased, the nitwits shut up They lane fulfilled their puipose. There is s nod ol approval fiom the director. Silence Anothei ladyenteis The piocess is icpeated until the meet gets under w*ay. And .sc if pocs until a lady is almost afraid to come to any indoor mecl because of the cmbaviassmcnt and humiliation she must undei gc boloie she leaches a seat. It is about tune that some ot these children, who call them selves men, “wise up” and tiy to conduct themselves as gentle men even though .1 does hurt. It is a sate picdiclion that if some vendor would soli baby i attics at an athletic event in the Armory heM do a lushing business We hope we have made oui point deal ON BEGINNING AGAIN Tonight Penn State will giant degrees to fifty giaduates at its thulccnth annual Mid-Yeai Commencement. Their today, ? college day, w ill be ended Tomonow, these men and w’omcn wil T go out to begin again, to learn anew, and they will carry with Ilu*m the slamn ol Penn State.

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY “There are two things essential to success They aie experi ence and pcisonahty” So said a big business executive at the close of an interview with a young college giaduatc who was ap plying for a position He added, “The man who comes to me u ith a small amount ot cxpci lence and a pcisonality that has been de \ eloped tin ough ycai s of association w ith business men is my mosl \uluuhlc asset.” Evei since its inception, the COLLEGIAN has been known tor its excellent business efficiency. There have been flaws, to be sine, but that is common to every oigamzation, no matter hov highly dc'e'oped it may bo. This paper has taken on men ir then lrcshmcn year and tin ough an intensive period of tiammj and piactiee m business piocedure has developed practical busi ness, advertising and cnculation men three years latci Tomonow night the COLLEGIAN is making its first call for business candidates from the class of 1929. These lccnuts will be riven a pieiimmaiy course ol instruction by men well reused m their lespcctivc lines, and will be acquainted thoroughly m COL LEGIAN business procedure. Following a short period of train ing, they will be placed on the staff and start the usual first-year methods Duing the sophomore year, they will be given an op portunity to do more specialized work and in the spring of 1927, the tlnce outstanding men will be selected as Junior Business Manager. Then begins a penod of executive duties and at the dose ot another yeai’s effort, a business manager, advertising manager and circulation manager are chosen. In addition to obtaining four years’ practical experience in business practice, these men have an excellent opportunity of de ' Hoping a peusonahty that otherwise may be lacking. Assocu lion with business men and genuine workshop methods cannot help but develop a knowledge of the “game” and at the same 1 nne call upon more ot one’s personalities. And the quickest way In development is tin ough steady usage. 'Flic COLLEGIAN is offering the men of 1929 a golden op poi lunity. one that they should not allow to slip by. UPWARD AND ONWARD LED With the appointment of the first woman to the Board of Trustees—Mrs. William D. Philips of Washington, Pennsylvania— another milestone has been passed in Penn State’s colorful history. Mis. Philips was appointed to the Board by Governor Pinchot in i ecognition of her generous and untiring efforts for Penn State in . onneetion with the emergency building fund. 'Hie appointment of Mrs Philips is especially welcome nows to the women of the College who hope that the newly-appomtcd TrusLec will be a sympathetic mediator between themselves and the powers that be.. In addition, her appointment no doubt will eventually mean “a greater and bettor co-cducationa! institution at Penn State.” The COLLEGIAN’S best Mis. Philips.

All these men «ecm to feel that because the story thev gave to the re porter who mteiviewed them was not published in its entirety, or because it was cut down b> the copy desk, that they me the unfortunate victims of prejudiced editors. This editorial is written to dispel any such foolish idea and to explain the true reason foi slashing a 500-vvoid stoiv* down to two oi three sentences. In the first place v the 11 cekly tries never to miss printing news that is, journalistically speaking, real “news.” Facts and happenings, which still re tain then fieshness and give promise of being “fiesh” on the date of pub lication ale the surest means of mak ing a managing editor lose his scowl and become happy for the one mo ment The continual nocessaiy punt ing and editing of stories that carry no news value aie enough to make one plan the but ping oflbe Main Building on Mondav night to make a good Most of the news that is considered good by the staff is of two lands “feituie” oi “secret” Fcatuie stoi les me known to all and need carry no expl uiation. “Secret” stories aie the substance and joy of a copy-reader’s existence. These stories contain facts winch aie not given out to the student iiodj thiough anj othei medium ex cept the U'ccUii. Lists of casts, men who make a squad, dates and prices of dances, future plans, give some idea of the sort of "secret” news that is received. To date onlj one organi sation on the campus has co-opcratod with the Itchcivc Weekly to its best ability in furnishing this exclusive sort of news That one organization is Sock and Buskin, the diamatic club, i When casts have been selected the names have been turned over to the Weekly first, and then aftei publica tion put on the bulletin board. It is only with the publication of leal “news” that the Weekly can hope to exist The handicap of appearing weekly instead af- semi-weekly or daily is senous elfcugh without try ing to compete with announcements fionr the steps, postcis and bulletin hoards. When the Wecl ly locoivcs news that is exclusive, that is not known to cightj pei cent of the student body, that hears the promise of not being broadcast before the next issue, then no fear of inadequate “poor” pub licity need be harbored. The 11 cekly is only too glad to co opciate with every organization, com mittee, student on the campus m pub lishing news of interest to the stu dents as a whole.
