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. You’re
here to sec Penn State, and we’re glad to have
you. We know the week-end will soon bo one of
our most pleasing memories, and we feel that you
will he able to look back upon your visit here as
one of the best trips you ever made away from
home.
We want you to enjoy yourself. We’ve tried
to cook up all kinds of entertainment to keep you
busy while you’re here, and if our ability to en
tertain is anything like wo think it is, we know
you will have a good time. In fact, we promise
just that.
Even though your son may attempt to trade
his empty bill-fold for your well-filled wallet, this
week-end will be a happy reunion for both of you
—and mother ,too, if she’s along. But we want
you *o let us in on tills—Penn State wants to be
the third iir.k in that chain of friendship. And be
cause we belong to your son; we belong to you.
Simple, is;;’; it?
The town’s yours. Dad. We welcome you.

V. A. 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.

say in his own column, which begins in Tuesday’s
issue under the caption ‘The Bullosophcr’s Chair,’

"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

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! . J t' '

—too much of it- The chicken kept
him awake that night, and while ha
lay there tossing he happened to hit
upon a bear-cat of a new play. After
Thanksgiving the. Panther papers will
probably term it "Bezdek’s fowl play!”
The topography of the practice
field gives mute evidence of the beat
ing it has taken. At one end of the
quadrangle the sub-soil is entirely
worn away, leaving an area of'solid
Nittany dolomite exposed. Little Will
Pritchard stumbled and was almost
rocked asleep, but he missed by inch
es.
The life of a scribe is not all prim
roses. Ye pencil wielder stepped out
under the arcs Wednesday evening
into the path of Joe Miller, freshman
back. He caught us, amidships, but
we retained an even keel and a fleet
ing impression of that Miller seeking
his meal.
As we retired, mudstained and crest-;
fallen, we heard a lilting tenor carol!-,
ing “Gee, boy!” It was a happy-go- 1
lucky voice, an appealing voice—it
belonged to Joe Krall. As wc passed
an arc light the pretty girl in Wil
lard House paused, attentive to the
melody. A flame danced in her
smouldering eyes as she softly re
plied, “Ohhhhhh ,youuu boyyyy!” in a
voice laden with grippe baccilli.
Three new helmets have been pur
chased for the broken-nose brigade of
the Nittany Lions. The new top
pieces are sp6cially constructed and
include a fibre guard covering the ol
factory organ. A gridder so attired
on a wet day might easily double for
Trudy Ederle, except that the swim is
not quite so long.
Roger Mahoney is slated to wear
one of the domcshields, while Hal
Hastings and Steve Hamas will be the
other gladiators. The idea is to keep
their Roman noses from roaming all
over their faces.
