"GENTLEMEN: THE PRESIDEN't
Wednesday evening's student reception for
Dr. lletzel is an indicator of student sentiment, a
barometer of spontaneous student confidence. Few
college executives ever have been welcomed so
heartily as was Dr. lletzel, and few college presi
dents have shown their appreciation in such an
enl.husiastie manner.
It is a wise president who knows the tremb
lilacs of the student frame, who can solve the in
volved mysteries of student emotion, who loves
and knows his students as scholars, men—and
friends. it is a wise student body that knows the
complicated interests of a president, that knows
the high place in which that president holds the
students welfare, that knows its president as a
scholar, a man—and a friend. Such a President is
Dr. Iletzel, and such a student body is Penn
State's.
We have met the President. Ile's our leader,
cur ally, our friend. Ile's our President; he has
our interests firmly embedded in his heart. We
salute• him.
UNETH WALLY ETH ICA L
Despite the current- belief entertained by
many students. and more faculty that the college
smoker is unethical and is an ill influence upon
younger minds. we come to the conclusion that the
label "smoker," when placed upon any function to
which men throng. is more o• less a "smoker" in
name only, and that the good which comes from
such gatherings entirely dissipates the sentiment
that the college smoker is a morally leprous oc
casion.
Penn State will have, from this time forth, a
"Cheerleaders Smoker," until someone supplies a
name for the occt ; tion which indicates the function
of the affair other 'than that of partaking of the
weed. Ql! the twenty-seventh of this month, all
junior candidates for (lead Cheerleader and As
sistant Cheerleader will assemble at the Sigma Nu
house. where they will be introduced to the man
agers and captains of the various Varsity teams.
le other words, the electors meet for the purpose
01- getting acquainted with the men whose names
wilt be considered for one of the most important
positions on the Penn State campus.
The custom of taking no recommendation
other than that. of the Head Cheerleader will, ice
hope. be discarded at the election in the spring.
Each manager and captain, having the right, to
vote. has also the right to vote according to the
dictates of his own mind. For this reason. the
effort is made to acquaint the prospective head
Cheerleaders with their electors in order.• that the
actions and ideas of the candidates for the re
mainder of the year may become college property.
Penn State. anti not the individual, should rule the
electors.
The "Cheerleaders' Smoker." although being
classed. because of its label. as unethical, is doing
quite the right thing for Penn State. It is 'm
ythically ethical.
THEN" WON THEIR I,EII'EILq
Fifteen years ago the enthusiastic Scots' pas
time, soccer, was inaugurated at Penn State. As
soon 'as caliber permitted the team sought en
trance into the Eastern Intercollegiate Soccer
League. All efforts to break the ice were unsuc
cessful even though the Lion booters emerged
from eleven seasons with only three defeats.
Two years ago a new league, the Intercolleg
iate Soccer Football Association of America, was
formed. Last spring Penn State was invited to
enter this organization along with Princeton, Hav
erford. Dartmouth, Yale. Harvard, Cornell, Navy,
Lehigh, Swarthmore. Penn and Syracuse. The
first attempt of the Blue and White boaters in the
association last fall resulted in victories over four
member teams to maintain a clean slate in col
lege competition.
Although tmnsnal circumstances led to this action,
officials of the circuit probably will arrive at some
conclusion before the opening of next season as to
the bash; for awarding honors to the one team
which may deserve highest recognition.
• To rise in one season to a level with Princeton
and Ifaverford, where Soccer is an old. well-estab
lishat sport, speaks well for Penn State's hooters.
the teams which have so long worked for official
standing ill intercollegiate competition.

annoying to have the phrase "Always be
littlin'" applied to the editorial column of a news
paper, and for some time we have been trying to
advance constructive criticisms on topics or inter
est. Now we have clipped our pun in vitriol again,
only to find that the sulfur fumes do not arise
from. our
.journalistic parchment. as before. We
must. therefore. be satisfied to advance a few
comments in a half-hearted manlier.
Shortly after the :Junior Prom committee was
appointed came the announcement that the con]•
mittee would import two well-known orchestras
for the affair. When the Senior Ball committee.
was appointed the plan of the Prom was copied
land two orchestras were selected. Why? Are
"The California Ramblers" not enough? Why
not have "Danny Deux-el.'s" and an °allophonic
Victrola ?

And what did he have to say? •
"Well, Smithcrs, you know this fellow who styles
himself 'Murphy. do you not? The chap from the great
open spaces? I could tell you that he Said I was one of
the "least unintelligent men" of the town, but I won't. I
could also} give you his expressions on compulsory chapel,
but I won't do that. except to say that he applauded Jimmy
Ryder's stand. 'Alarphy' added a few things, but he uses
such undesirable expletives in his communications that I
hesitate to read them for fear that my mind may become
as his. Sulfite to say, publicly. that I will have no more
to do with this anonymous personage, whom I know to see
in spite of his assumed name. 'Moreover ; we must ask
hint here and now to refrain from writing to us. Am I
right, Smithers?"

SESSION TWO
"Srnithers, What about our library? Recently I had
OCCIISIOII, as I frequently do, to be in the library toll() sonic
work which could not be done elsewhere. and do you know
learned a lot during the two hours I spent in there—
and it wasn't all out of the books I was reading.
"It is a perfect shame that some people are so thought
less of other person's rights as are many who VISIT our
library. There is an undertone of constant conversation
which is usually ac.,ompanied by the audible explanation
of some math problem going on across the desk barrier;
ei course in all such explanations a pencil with which to
tar on thc desk is absolutely essential.
"You have often heard the favorite comment of one of
our professors when be refers to the library. lie calls it
the "Penn State Marriage Bureau," and maybe he isn't so
far wrong at that. But it is more than this: (with the
exception of Graham's) it is the most popular "Bachelor's
Club" in State College. Surely you have seen those groups
of freshmen and saphomores and sometimes even upper
classmen., which cluster about •one fellow seated at a ‘l4k . .
Utaletibtedly wliat they Inive'tti iS Mcist imMul:antilmt
as the old shying goes—qhere - a Lime . and place ;for
everything." Seriously now, is the library the place for
such gatherings?"
A Better Position
It's easier to get a good
position if you have a lit
tle money saved up. One
reason for this is that
when you have money,
you never have to accept
a position that is not
suited to you. You have
the wherewithal to wait
until you can establish a
satisfactory connection.
Money also gives you
more confidence in your
self.
Save regularly here
for a better position

Colloid chemistry, according to Mr.

such question as to how chemical en

energy in muscles and other tissues
will soon he answered. Ile showed
that, under ordinary principles of
chemistry, it is impossible to account
for thy rising of sup in a tree to a
distance of fifty to one hundred feet,
'whereas dynamics have shown that the
colloid pressure will account for large
lisps of sap in the tallest trees 111111
also for large mechanical energy in
