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.
(1) Have you a $47.50 goat-skin coat that
has not yet been out in the rain?
(2) Do you Blackbottom 9 When may we
have an appointment?
(3) How many co-eds did you fail to write
to while you were pestering the gover
nor for money?
(4) How many times were you boiled?

(5) Have you a Ford? How many mottoes
on it How many doors?
(G) Ale you a judge of good liquor?
("There is none") is not an acceptable
answer.
(7) How was your New Year's Eve party?
Where?
(8) how many balls did you drop while
trimming the tire Christmas Ese?
Why?

Why can't college students act like, or at
least by to imitate men while they are home on
sacation? Why do they base to adseitise their
educational connections, anyway? No wonder
there me so many ai ticles in current magazines
dermns, the antics of the "younger generation."
"Why?" Thai's the big question befoi e the great
American public today! "Why?"
The Bullosopher's Chair I
A friend complained to me not long ago, "Ever since
T came to college Ise been looking for something—l don't
know shat—hut smoothing that mill give me a %ICA be
neath the mortice at life itself, a tmelation that will be
guide to my own conduct and activity after I leave"
Much as the rampage of bunk against the college stu
dent's capacity and the inadequacy of a college education
is to be decried, in all sincerity—o about a tone of dm
paiagement—Ue car ask what is college doing to us'
1 Why hasn't the priblem of life been solved—mv attitude
tomati , my professiA toward society, toward myself?
Quite recently. Charles M Schwab commented on
America's problem to this effest• We base achieved only
too melt in materialism, it is time our attention be focused
upor spa itualism
That comment is peitinent to the thought-life of
the Ammican student We are trained to be efficient—
mechanically. piofeionally; to niatic /novel, But we Ife
not trained hoar to live
E!!!!=111
Perhaps that r, not the fault of the college Perhaps
it is a problem for the Ind!, dual alone But of one thing
(me are sine—the corsage college atmosphere is not con
ducive tc the development of those ideas end principles of
life ant' their piactice—which alone is the barometer of
attainment of high living and noble liming—the t2.pe of
conduct that identifies men of chara c ter and principle in
then• truest sense,
The average college freshman—when he arrives—is a
lad full of dreams, of ambitions, of ideals And at this
stage 110 is probably nearer a grasp on life than his ex
perience to conic will . Cter bring him
Fo. he wdl soon reabre that a dreamer is an outsider;
that the idealist is a back-number; that the sacred attitude
tonard morality and son ice are certainly out of place
To be a "success" in college, he must be popular; and to
he "popular" he must be an ass for the approval of the
crowd—if not in his conduct, in his thought, life and social
attitudes
He lea, ns that "success" means a parading of one's
self—popular acchi,m, power position; and that these
are necessary to success in life, acquired through money
and its tributes
Success money, poorer, positron, authority, popular
ity fame! Rot! Is that our American idealism? Is
that the force that lies behind American manhood If
so—let us ejaculate a prayer for the youth of this land
uho must plunge into such a sordid atmosphere as that
Congratulations to the Penn State man ,ho is old
ashioned enough, strong enough, thoughtful enough to
hng to a few of his freshman ideals. If he can maintain
standard for himself of greater usefulness, of obedience
it principle, ideal, and dub—to the neglect of self-im
olai,se and palm...mg—he shill be satisfied at least,
though tho woild recognize it not, that he has niet a man
"Dear Old State—Mould us into men!"—but for
heaver's sake let us change our interpretation of a "man!"
—and get assay from the selfish mollyeoilling materialism
that seems to be.dwarfing the character and,coneegtions of
the modern College student! ' ' r
