F r iday. i'ebt «.a !.; ITs. 1927 \A/ 0 N 4 I BRIGHT GREEN The freshman class of girls at pear State has done a gracious t hing. For many years each class has given a party for the freshmen soon after the opening of College in the fall. Last Wed nesday the freshmen gave a tc the juniors. their - big Fi zters. both to express their appreciation for the friendship of the juniors and to create a stronger spirit of comradeship between the two classes. The party was enjoyed and sincerely appreciated by the "big sisters - who attended it. The Tres hmen showed considerable originality. and we feel assured that in time they will reap the fruit of their ability—and while on the subject of fruit we would like to say that the oranges with sticks of candy through which to imbibe the juice were the best kind of upside down lollypop we 'nave ever tasted. It is good for girls to be re minded occasionally what a good time 'they can have by them elves. So many of them sus pected this fact that last year another all-girls' dance. the *Cos tume Cotillion, was added to the co-eds' social calendar. Since the affair was conceded generally tc• be the best dance the girls had ever given and will be repeated this yeal. we may expect it to become an annual event. We should like to see the "Kid Sister Party" become a tradition in the same manner. It has grown naturally front the ''big sister ' custom and the idea back of it is worth preserving. _Ap preciatton of one's caul - is is a stimulation to further endeavor; so may the present freshmen and juniors grow in friendship and harmony and pass on to future classes the spirit which prompt ed. and the wit which character ized the "Kid Sister Party."

Should Judne Applicants The remedy suggested by PrOte , ior Espenshade for these conditions is that of judicious selection of app.ii cants wishing to enter college. He believes that the certificate method of entering college is (Co easy and by that way the school is unable to de termine the merits of new students. Quantity of knowledge should be de termined by certificate and quality by a formal examination and a psycho]. ogy questionnaire. The lecturer stated that college teachers are chosen too rapidly. peo ple picking them do not generally un derstand conditions and that degrees are stressed more than teaching abil ity. Stupidity. laziness, and selfish ness nre characteristics which should not be found in a college proles-or, nor should they be unskilled, ineffi cient or incompetent. Ile added that teachers should rank above eighty-lice per cent in their studios. "How many colleges measure up to expectations?" he asked. "The pro portion of high grade teachers and students is low. However. Penn State is no worse than the average compar cd with other colleges." Professor Espenshade's address was based on a study of conditions in a number of Eastern colleges.
