Onto Hours 11 00 a m to 12 00 m PO to 5 00 p m FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1927 MUTUAL GREETINGS 'A:Mining chapel services yesterday and Wed nesday afloided Penn State's new president, Dr. Ralph Doia Hetzel, his first opportunity to come into contact w ith the student body of this College. Conversely, it gave the students their first chance to become acquainted with the former University of New Hampshire executive One could not help but be impressed with the simple, genial. tancete manner that Dr. Hetzel dis played during his too short talks. Even the most pessimistic must have left the Auditor ium with a high feeling of optimism caused by that individual firmly believing that Penn State was about to undergo a new era. The students found themselves listening to a college pi esident who smcm ely desned to become one of them— enough so, that lie would be able "to learn the student's attitude on College affairs, to know what they are thinking and to tell them shat he is thinking." The students found Dr. Hetzel a firm believer in student government and entire student partici patio], in sucli.government They learned that hp has great patience oath student enterprises of every description, that lie had no patience with the philosophy of "getting by" and - that that phil osophy is subvm SIN C to everything that is best in college life, that he has Imy little patience with evelything that is,vicious but has great patience with conduct growing out of inexperience. Di Hetzel feels "that a college is a miniature world and that experience gained is most signifi cant It tic plume our tasks diligently, then we arc fulfilling duties that will aid us greatly in later hfc." It was readily apparent that both Dr. Iletzel and line family ism° deeply touched by the thoughtful, kindly reception of the student body at Penn State. Flower:,, lettels, telegrams and other tokens of affections served to evoke the deep appreciation of Di. Hetzel, «ho said, "If we suc ceed in any measui e in advancing the cause of Penn State, the students may attribute it to the reception that has been given to me and my fam ily." Penn State's new president desires to have as many and as hequent contacts with the stu dents, individually and collectively, as possible. He wants to become one of them. Then• inter est are foremost in his heart. With such a spirit manliest between the student body and Dr. Hetzel, success is bound to make its appearance Penn State is facing a new era. WE'VE BEEN ON VACATION An in tide in The New Student, clipped from The Daily Maroon of the Um ersity of Chicago, is a questionane concocted, if you will, by Eddie Canto', the pi omment comedian who is now de lighting Philadelphia audiences with his antics in "Big Boy" his liteiary attempt reads quite like the next pal aph. "Prepared by the modern college for the mod ern college aspirant. These questions must be :LIMN med to the satisfaction of the enti ance com mittee. (1) Have you a raccoon coat? (2) Do you Charleston? (3) How many gills in the Ziegfield 'Fol lies' do you know? (4) How many ways can you use the ex pression 'So's your old man'? (5) Have you a oadster? Has it a cutout? (8) Are you a judge of good liquor? What antidote do you use - (7) Ale the bottoms of your trousers wide enough for a told to sneak under? (8) Do you wear socks? If not, what is the color of your garters'," Now you'll have to admit that that's not bad, especially toi a chap like Cantor, who usually gets paid for it. He easily could be mistaken for a newspaper reporter, because he certainly has the goods on the erstwhile college student who re ports to mother and father for money at vaca tion time, the boy having forced the family to sell most of the heirlooms, such as War Savings Stamps, to keep him in college up until vacation. VV e have a little addition to make, and we'll use. Eddie's questionairc as a base, just to keep our mind on the subject. Here's sin cant' ibution to modern American Irterattne: "This questionaire is to be answered by ev ery college student N% ho returns alter the holidays. Use Yes' or 'No' vhenever you think best.
