FRIDAY. :MARCH 11, 1927
WT.1.0011 - E!
Familiar surroundings are enlivened by a hol
iday atmosphere. carefree smiles replace scholas
tic worries as the eyes of Penn State students
turn toward the Sophomore, flop tonight. The
underclass formal will headline a varied assort
ment of attractions for hundreds of out-of-town
visitors. Let gayety be the watchword!
The week-end. yet in its infancy, holds in
numerable pleasures that Time, only too soon, will
transform into memory. To our guests this
newspaper would say: May your visit be fraught
with all the thrills of genuine pleasure. May you
carry back, with you the tenderest of memories.
May your impressions of Penn State be of the
best. —W. L., Jr.
WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD?
It is with great pleasure that we acknowledge
the visit of the Legislature's appropriation com
mittee. It is also with apprehension—and hope.
The needs of this institution. from the necessity
of replacing window shades gone a decade ago to
the expediency of providing a gymnasium suit
able for at least one-half of the student body,
have long felt the discussions of resentful and
sympathetic observers. In the past financial pleas
have been hazy and somewhat extraordinary.
Why, said the legislature. does this college de- ,
sire so many millions of dollars? But we must I
leave off here: it is not the policy of the COLLEG
IAN to express an opinion which, under the stress
and tear of conflicting legislatorial convictions and
dilemnas, is liable to cause embarrassment o• per
turbation in some quarters. It is not the COL
LEGIAN'S policy: it is not its power.
There has been in the past enough editorial
matter written by newspapers of the state to
furnish the administration with an imposing, not
to say alarming. bundle of petitions. Yet it is
not our purpose to add to this already overwhelm
ing mass. This paper with some justice, may be
flayed for not being delivered at the respective
doorsteps of its respective customers; this paper,
also with some truth. may be accused for over
looking obvious facts and defects not only about
the student body but about the faculty. But this
paper has never been charged. even by the most be
littling, of being a monkey, a journalistic lemur,
a hectic and feeble imitator. The COLLEGIAN
has not meddled in politics. Not even in student
politics.
To be perfectly frank with the state com
mittee. we-hope that it realizes that Penn State,
as it now stands, is not It BOothitig_.ThStitittion;
WE- would not want it to be. We are, at tiresCht,
a progressive, valuable institution. A little help
would make us indispensable—if we are not that
now. There are. we must admit, an exceedingly
large number, an appalling number it has seemed
in the past, of colleges and universities in this
state. Penn State. however, is the only one equip
ped by the state. It is the property of the state.
the property of the people. A damage to it is a',
blow to the people. An improvement for it, is an
added welfare for its supporters.
In spite of rather cramped and crowded class
rooms the college has on the whole shown re
markable growth. As one professor put it, a poor
external situation does not mean an inferior in
ternal development. It is pointed out that the
most: remarkable achievements of the world were
accomplished in an age of filthy sanitation, im
possible hardships, and degenerate habits: the age
of the Renaissance. Shakespeare's England, the
same professor has shown, was exceeded in fright
fulness only by the shabby century before it.
Yet. it we were to imply the truth of the cor
ollary. we would. perforce, destroy our sewer sys
tems. do away with policemen. and sever all con
nections with modern civilization's conveniences.
The point of all this is merely to show that
while attainment may develop in stagnation, it
does not follow that stagnation itself, no matter
with what forces .it is inhibited, produces achieve
ments. —B. K.
LOOKING FORWARD BACKWARDS
l'enn State is showing strong symptons of an
ill which has reached its final stages on the cam
pus of Colgate university, where desperate lead
e•s are engulfed and strangled in a great, rising
tide of student &difference. Undergraduates in
the northern part of New York state are quickly
coming to know that what is a Harvard man's
meat may be another man's poison.
Colgate yearlings decry the application of
the almighty Paddle, which emphatically urges
them to attend every student meeting. In vain
they look for upper-clashmen in the attendance
and the sting of the paddle is doubled. Freshmen
here and there and everywhere are feeling and
seeing creatures.
What Colgate needs. and what Penn State
needs. is a deep draught from a cask of old vint
age loyalty. The painted smile of disdain must
be wiped from the lips of the college man and the
thin veneer of nonchalance which surrounds him
must be warped and cracked and peeled off.
The search for hard and cold facts has led us
just a bit too far astray. We are still men and
must still tread the paths that other men have
trod. Let's drop that unpleasant cloak of cynicism
the side of the road and indulge in an emotion
!Or two. Let's allow a lump to rise in our throats
!as we sing the Alma Alater: let's thrill at scholas
tic attainment: let's get patriotice•about the Blue
and White. It's old-fashioned stuff, to be sure. but
• we are suffering an ill and a throw-back may prove
the cure. —R. IR. A.

One of the salient features of Check-up Week
that was devised, originated. instituted et at, by
the 'Tribunal here last week, was the increase in
that old democratic Penn State "Hello." The
freshmen were not found wanting when they were
checked up on this custom, a tradition for which
the College has long been noted. It was on a rare
occasion that a yearling would pass either his own
classmate, a sophomore or an upperclassman with
out emitting "Hello!"
For emphasis, we again repeat. that the
FRESHMEN were not found wanting in a custom
that speaks for itself. But who were they greet
ing? No one, apparently. It was a common sight
to sec a green-topper walk by a member of one of
three upper classes, say the customary "Hello"
and receive nc recognition. not even a mumble
in return. There is no better feeling for a fresh
man or anybody else than to pass a fellow stu
dent, look him squarely in the eye. smile and say,
"I-relic." and then have the one to whom it was ad
dressed. echo it back in the same genial tone in
which it was given. As Briggs, America's fa
' mous cartoonist would say, "Oh boy! Ain't it a
grand and glorious feeling?"
It. H. Hillinrn '2.
W.. 1. 31el.anghlin '2B
But. as was often the case last week and
nearly all year. what is more discouraging. more
depressing than to say, "Iloilo!" and have it fall
on deaf ears: to be "high-hatted" if you please.
When such a thing comes to pass, is it any won
der that there has been a decrease in the number
of "Hello's" that are supposed to be exchanged
when Penn Stater passes Penn Stater?
Perhaps. the falling off in the "Rollo" observ
ance on the part of that student who has passed
the embryonic year of his college career can be
traded to that great evil, scire litchis or compul
sion. Reason enough to be sure, but let's forget
all differences, let's be democratic, let's revive an
old custom so that it will echo and re-echo thru
ought this vast valley!

MAYBE you know some old fogey who

a blotto bimbo who broadcasts a line of

that costs less than two bucks the ounce"
... Well, paste this bit of news in the

Here's tobacco as fine as any man ever

for pipes and cut for pipes—it SMOKES like
a million dollars! But the pocket-package
is 'a foil-pouch (instead of a costly tin)
