TUESDAY. DECEMBER 7, 1926
PENX STATE PROGRESSES
Stmlenl Dosua, foimeily an organization in
name only, has at last become active.
The Boaid composed ol three seniors, two
juniors and one sophomore, some time ago pe
titioned the Council ol Administi ation tor a grant
ol powei enabling the Boaid to heal cases ot in
fi actions ol College regulations, and to iccom
mend suitably disciphnaiy measures to the Ad
ministiation The petition was accepted by the
Council ol Ailmmisti ation, .mil the member', of
Student Bu.ud togethei \uth tvo membel- c\-
otficio and without vote, the Dean of Mon and tnc
Dean ol the School in which the offcndei is enrol
led, sit upon cases which are lepoited to the Dean
of Men.
Several cases ha\e been bcfoie the Boaid, and
discipline for the offcndei s has been lecommended
to and appioxcd by the Council of Administiatioi'
No case, hovvevei. has been ot sufficient mte’est to
permit publicity, until a contessed case ot ‘cub
bing” was brought before the jmois last week.
The offender admitted his dishonesty, and
fuithci owdence, intended to conwnce the Boaict
ol the offenders dishonest intent m a matte” en
tirely outside the uuisdiction of these .students,
was placed m the h<inds of the body A complete
investigation into the lecoid ol the student indi
cated a lack of intcicst in classroom woik, and a
marked decline was noticed in the student’s woik
ovci a period co\ering seveial semester
Ile.iitant to dismiss the man from College, the
Boaid consideied the ovidence thoroughly, and the
thought pi evaded that if a man has chaiacter, it
will come to light if an attempt is made to unearth
it. The offenders ictord showed a bidhant fresh
man year—from then on. his giades went quickly
downhill Alter a long dchbciation. che tollowmg
tierjision >.*r> handed d«»an by the student juroi.->:
‘“me L‘-u-‘ent n. iiuestion shall ce diopped
f:om the i. which he admittedly was dis
honest. aim a *ll leceive m that subject a guide
of mu.*... two (-2) A notation giving the reason
Jor the guide shall be wntten upon all cauls bear
ing his College lecord
‘in his lemaming five three-ciedit couises,
the student shall be loquued to obtain iirteen
u edits and eighteen hoftoi points.
“Fading to fuUdl these lequnemcnts. the
student shall be chopped from College at the do c
ol the picsent semester.
“Notification ot this decision shall be sent to
the student, to the head ot the department con
cerned, and to the Dean of the School in which the
student is cm oiled ”
When students take Penn State Honoi light
ly, students will hear the case and lendei the de
cision. Students, moic* than any othoi bodv, aic
able to look upon all ollenscs from an undergiad
ualc point of view When students take into their
own hands the mallei of disciplining members ot
the undci graduate body, Penn State has gained
the good-will and confidence ot the loiemost chani
pioo of her honoi—the student body. The Stu
dent Board woiks! Penn State progi esses.
ARE WE MISSING SOMETHING?
“Students at modem universities arc spoon
fed, instructed pauot-hke, and taught not to
think. You go with the cunent, wait tor the band
to play, and move with the mob-line. You do not
think, time and act alone ” This from Sheivvond
Eddy to the student body .it Ohio State, a group
icprcscntativc of the entne student body of a
nation.
To this statement, which is shouted too often
and too loudly to be ot any weight, Mr. Eddy ad
ded a I’leshei bit that at Yale university he was
i obbed of an education and halted m his progress
by the enormity of an educational system.
A little thought and we awake to conclude
that identical misfortune also may full upon us,
and such a realization becomes shocking upon be
coming imminent. When a man has finished
College and has been given a diploma to tuck un
der his arm, is he leaily equipped, or will he be
limited to his individual sphere and confined to a
mt b> the monstiosity of specialization
This is the excuse—the one gicat excuse—
for the contentment of the student. The under
graduate is not tiaincd to be a leadei; he is train
ed to fill one small niche, to be one small pait of
the scheme of things, to be one small cog in the
great machine! y oi hie The only admonition
offered the spoon-ted one is that as a cog. he musu
not become worn.
