News Editor This Issue— FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, ID2G PENN STATE’S PRESIDENT Dr. Ralph Dorn Hetzel, recently appointed to the vacant executive chair of Penn State, is New Hampshire’s loss and Pennsylvania’s gain. . Dr. Hetzel comes to Penn State as a man ex perienced in the ways ot college communities; well-versed in the intricacies of college, faculty and student administration. The years which lie has spent at Oregon State College, combined with the nine years in which he decided the destinies of the University of New Hampshire, have fitted him remarkably well for his new task. He is the man for the position. As an undergraduate at Wisconsin, the in coming President was extremely active on the campus; while at Oregon, ho obtained the faculty viewpoint; at New Hampshire, he was really an administrator. And he is an educator. Penn State could ask no more. New Hampshire mourns the departure of this j pre-eminent personality. The press of that little New England state, even in the small towns in which newspapers are published but once a week, cite the going of Dr. Hetzel as. the greatest loss the University has suffered in many years. Each little hamlet in the mountains there is talking of the educational dawn which settled on the hills of New Hampshire with Dr. Hetzel’s coming— and of the bright sunlight which is to he Penn State’s once he takes his place high up in Old Main. Anil Penn State again will have a visible head; an exceptional individual and kindred soul who is to share the joys and sorrows of ail groups which, j make up this institution; a leader whose heart' will have the same love for “this old College” that I is the dear possession of every loyal Penn State! man. Dr. Hetzel is to be our pride, both as a! President and as a friend. ’ I ' One last word. There’s that grand old title 1 of,“Proxy,” . That name is not given to everyone 1 a .whcn it is. given, it connotes; the affection- 11 . aie.regard in which the President is held by the j students who gather at:his feet. That name of j “Prexy” does not accompany the office—it is be stowed upon the JIAN. We feel that Dr. Hetzel j will earn his right to the greatest honor the slu-| dent body of Penn State may give—the name of “Prexy.” THE TOWN’S YOURS, DAD Dad, the town is yours on your day.

N. is the Bullosopher you’ve been hearing about—or, rather, reading about in the little, black-faced lines of type on the second, third and fourth pages of this paper. “You’ll certainly enjoy what he wifi have to say in his own column, which begins in Tuesday’s issue under the caption ‘The Bullosophcr’s Chair,’ ] and which will appear every sub.-eiiupnr mim | her of this periodical. "V. A. N. has made the request that he be allowed space in our columns to philosophize a little—not the kind you’ve been used to in Phil osophy 20. of course, but campus philosophy. He tells me that besides a smattering of philosophy, he will introduce you to the temporizations of a mind well trained in criticism and the kindred arts accompanying a well-trained intellect and a very—oh, a very well-trained pen—a pen versed in both gentle ami caustic script. He even tells us that when necessary, lie will indulge in a personal ity. if. by descending so low, ho may make his soothing or angry screed gain his most esteemed point.

He has chosen you not because of your own self, hut be cause lie thinks your character and personal at tribute?—as well as your mental equipment—go to make up a composite gentleman of Penn State; a gentleman representative of faculty and stu dents—even sophomores.

We’re simply giving him space.” li. B. KUborn ’2 • V/. *l. McLaughlin '2B MOHK OF I,AST YEAR’S FRESHMEN Seniority at Penn Slate received a jolt at the football game Saturday. The sophomores, as us ual, were guilty. A large number of second-year men, parading as uppcrclassmc-n or trying to palm themselves off as erudite professors, infested the West stands, despite the fact that their identity was known to many juniors and seniors sitting near them. A tier a goodly number of the sophomores had swallowed their pride (sic!) and participated in the class “stunt”, at least fifty members of the “upper” lower class brazenly dashed for the seats in the section reserved for those above them in privileges—and then refused to depart. Perhaps these offenders think themselves a trifle better than the remainder of their classmates. Then, } again, they might bo deliberately pinning the don- I key tail on Penn State tradition. -R. M. Atkinson If the first alternative he true, it is the dulj of the law-abiding students of 1929 to protest loudly and vigorously If the second case be true, its solution rests with the juniors and seniors. Certainly the real men in the sophomore class may impress their brothers with the necessity for class unity. If not, the upperclassmen can! And that goes for the game tomorrow! In spite of the several serious losses which the football eleven has sustained, prospects for a. suc cessful season are promising. . But Notre Dame, Syracuse, Pennsylvania and llucknell have teams that look strong on paper, and which have exhib ited strength on the field thus far. And Pitt— well, the Panther is a bad actor on Thanksgiving Day—and he’ll be very, very hungry if he con tinues to starve at the present -rate. Cut the breaks of the game might not come our way; and the breaks are many on the gridiron.. Good football is not only in the attack or defense that a machine may have—it’s the team’s ability to take advantage of the breaks that will decide many a game. And if the breaks go against 11s, and the other team makes use of them—what then ? Are a few of us going to give vent to ill smelling and disagreeable remarks simply because wo don’t win every game on the schedule? That question .rests with each man. And if there are a few imbeciles who are prone to cast slurs at personalities after a disappointment—let this be a warning! Penn State refuses to tolerate the back-biter—and unless his lips are pressed tightly together, unless he is able to grin and. bear it like the rest of'iis; it is.his privilege;tp,'tie'a ean to himself and hit the trail; ’ .Penn' State cantstand he loss! .

Roger Mahoney is slated to wear one of the domcshields, while Hal Hastings and Steve Hamas will be the other gladiators.
