CANADA FOR CANADIANS
11. L Mencken should not limit his department
“Amciicana” in The Ameucan Mcicuiy to Amer
icans alone. lie should become conveited to the
“broad mterpieiatiomst” viewpoint—and then
include Canadians. Because, you see, “Bv a vote
of 96 to 69. members of Hart House Parliament
upheld last night the motion, ‘Resulted that the
influence of the United States has mci eased, is
inci easing, and ought to be diminished.” Well,
well, well* What the dickens do you know about
that! It must be deploiable—up there m the land
of woodchoppeis, Canucks and unwanted Ameri
canos. God save the American part of England!
The quotation m the fust paragraph is taken
from the Notembei fomth issue of the Varsity,
undergraduate newsprint (thank you, J. H) of
the Umvoisity ot Toionto. Here’s moie of it.
“In opening the discussion” (it was, by the way, a
m which icpiescntatives of the Univeisity
Lnncsota upheld the negative) “A. F. Plump
t- a . . denounced many things American from
their moues to their nasal accent. He ridiculed
the conduct of then* clubs and conventions, as
well as their tendency to advoitise e\ cry thing ex
tensively tiom listennc to athletic suppoiters.
In a more senous \em Mi Plumptie objected to
the influx of Amei ican capital, making Canada
economically dependent on the United States ”
How dashedly disgraceful l Peihaps the writ
ei of that leading stoiy did not know that 95/?
of Canadian lilms aie Hops and that that’s why
he is loieed into denouncing Ameiican-made mov
ies. They like ’em up there just as much as
some ol us do down here—and it he wants to
stait an argument, we’ie icady to bear the inn den
oi piool. And we suppose e\ery American he
has bumped into and then sworn at foi not stop
ping foi tea, has been guilty of hai boring a nasal
twang Say—he hasn’t met Jimmie Wade from
West Virginia. Only a few* Amei leans are born
with a misplaced sound-box—j’ust as only a few
Britishers are blessed with titles of nobility And
we’re just as pioud of our nasal note as they aie
pioud of then unhoused “dooks and dookesses.”
And as for listennc, et. al., if it wasn’t for the
fact that the Ameueans do the spending foi ad
vertisements—the Britishers m Canada .probably
would still be using orris and chalk'for halitosis!
How blahingly blah 1 Or "Faugh l ” as they say
in Monti eal
And as lor tho influx of American capital, mak
ing Canada" economically dependent on the United
States—” Pish-posh. Bunk. It’s our money—
and if they’ve the candy-stoie in which we want
to spend it—we’ll spend it there And still all
the little demons ol hell can’t keep the Illuminati
ol Toionto from trying to leduce the piolils
they’re making tiom oui expenditures. What’s
the .iso v Blit watt. Hera's something about
thcuin{'-g ,, m (It\ .i sin and a shame they can’t
get oi.:a va-rant lor Mu Wiigley.)
Mr. Kaibus, oj Minnesota, defended the United
State** by s'" nig “his country . . . conti lbuted
to Canada’s efficiency in giving her automobiles,
telephone ■. and chewing gum foi stenographers.”
Yes, and all Lh.it. Without the automobile—
without Foul—where would the Canadians be?
Still walking—as they arc now—mentally. With
out Bell, where would the Canadians spend their
idle nickels? Piobably for chewing-gum. And
li the stenographer had no chewing-gum, they’d
no doubt be able to start all then flies in the cold
mornings with the lialf-chewed pencils lemain
mg from yesterday’s gastionomical diversion.
Mr. Plumptie “\ouchsafed the information that
his mother had told him that when in a car with
a girl Mho one thing to do was neck.’” Mother
was right* She knows! And the only thing that
is really American in that statement (you know,
necking m any other language would be as enjoy
able) is the won! “neck.” And that’s more de
scriptive ot the time-tried amusement than any
English-born word! You can bet your nightly
“neck” that Mr Plumptrc made that statement
only for effect.
Last of all quotations we have to offer is that
taken from the mouth of Mr. Lyndon Smith, who
“declared that Ameucan shredded wheat was
made from Canadian pulpwood” If that’s true,
way can't the Americans argue that Canada is en-j
croachmg upon American ideals, or whatever it
was that the Hart House of Parliament listened to?
And anyway, we don't think that shredded wheat
is made fiom Canadian pulpwood—we think‘it’s
made from caulboaid boxes returned to the fac
tory. That brings up the question “Which came
Hist—the shreds or the box?” But that’s beside
the point—if theie is one.
We think the Canadian debateis picked a pret
ty punk subject for an argument. If the Amer
ican Indians would have tried to debate about the
increase of American influence on their tribal ex
istence, would they have got anywhere? Wc
think what the Canadians should have argued
about, and with much moic force because the in
foimation could have been gathered close to home,
—we think that topic should have been: Re
solved, that nuts, being bom in shells, should stay
m them.

Do you know, Mr Smithcis, one of the needs of this col
lege i*. some pood wholesome advertisement Some pro
fcssou.il luminaries will wave then hands m holy protest
against the expression of nnv such plebinn sentiment De
grade tho dignity of the institution by advertising* Not
much’ Rather let the countiy think of Penn State as a
farmers high school with an oven-dev eloped foot-ball
team Lot the cioam of the state’s youth go to Princeton
and Haivard and Dartmouth and Cornell* Wo don’t need
them. The ruial communities furnish us with enough
higlt-giadc men They aien’t you know, but
they represent virulent manhood, dnd Penn State can be
proud of that Yes, let the quality of our students sink al
low as you please, butwievet dogiade oui standards of false,
modesty by advertising! It isn’t ethical; it isn’t dignified, I
it isn’t being done*
Such deluded and deluding twaddle has been the official
policy of this institution long enough We are entirely
too self-satislicd, either ignorant of or indifferent to what
the world thinks of us. And it does matter* Anyone
who has travelled beyond the state boundaries realizes the
situation—even among college students. If we are not
confused with the University of Pennsylvania, we arc
conceived to be tho state agriculture institution A census
of college students outside the state would report that a
majonty has cithoi not henid of Penn State, or if they
has, it has been in connection with athletics—wholly ig
uoi ant of oui educational features and facilities I’en
realize that we have Engineering, Liberal Arts, Science,
etc -—and those schools of first rote calibci

And in our own community, what is the reaction? Those
men who desire a cultural education and tunning, who
come from families of socul e\cellenec—do not pick Penn
State for then alma mater And why''—not because
Pc-in Strte is not good enough, but because our merits are
not known. A little press publicity once in a while—us
ually cornered in a few inches in the various news sheets—
is tho sum total of our contacts with the outside world,
while other institutions aie flaunted m head-lines, educa
tional journals, news reels, and numerous other vehicles of
expression
On numerous occasions the question has been broached
to the administration—with the usual courteous promise
of investigation. Nothing has been done. And the field
is wide open! Have wo not an institution which can stand
publicity? Are our students of such caliber that we don’t
need Lo attract better? tt ~
We need to sell Penn State* Not m cheap newspnpei
advertisement* but in letting the world know what we have
done, who we ate, and why we dftserve recognition*
What’s the procedure 9 Lot the administration provide
an item in the budget which will allow a reasonable ex
penditure in a publicity policy, to send student leaders to
the fust high schools of the state, not as campaign
ers, but as representatives to bring Penn State to the at
tention of those who plan on a college career, to purcha®t
the over-supply of La Vies which usually rot in the base
ment of old Mam, and send them to high schools, prep
schools and libiures, to got Penn State activities in the
cinema news reels when we have items of interest to the
general public,—student stunts, football games, Fathers’
Day, etc , to foster alumni enthusiasm in a concentrated
demand upon the newspapers of the various cities to give
Penn State recognition along with Pitt and Penn, etc ; to
see to it that prominent Penn State men are known to
then colleagues and to then communities as Penti State
men These aie but a few of the numerous, ways
by winch Penn State enn be brought to the attention, of
the people of the state.
Let’s get over’our old-fashioned polfcy q£ ’sjrbm
reticence! We need better men* We need money!*' ‘We
need public support’ And we can’t expect nny of'Vhese
until we prove to the world that we merit sustcntation
