Today, the College opens wide its doors in a burst of genuine welcome to the hundreds of fair visitors who conic to State College from this and other states to revel, for all too short a time, within the shadows of Mount Nittanv. The Junior Promenade—ever the crowning event of the Penn State social calendar —is on the threshold! Penn State automatically throws itself open for inspection. Hundreds of girls, of all deship tions and sizes, and* coming from towns of the same, invade our community today. Officially their title is guest, but somewhere tucked away their personalities is the critical: their poWers of observation are great—they notice all that is favorable, all that is unfavorable. These im pressions are carried hack home—and broadcast! Be that as it may. The week-end is begin fling. On such occasions serious faces are a rar itywhich is as it should be. Revelry abounds. It will know no limit tonight once the harmonious Strains from either a Garber o• if Golldkette com bination start reverberating through the disguised Armory. First Goldkette, then Garber, then Goldkette again and back to Garber. A large evening! To the Prom girls, we say: Welcome! You are about to experience two days of never-to-be forgotten entertainment. You will cause many a heart to flutter. You will be occasion for brand new shovels to start excavation. You will be re sponsible for dollars passing out of yon• escort's pocket. You will receive honorable mention in countless "bull sessions." You will have a good time. You will lie glad you came. You will want to come again. You will think Penn State is a pretty nice place. The cordial hand of hospitality is outstretched to the countless number who are visitors on the Nittany campus this week-end. We are sure "a good time will be had by all." It can't be other wise.. It's ,in the cards. THE 'LA3III OH.THE LION • Probably One"or the most distractin g and per plexing sentiments a college newspaper has to faCti' is that sickly opinion, expressed for the most part by professors and coy Y. AI. C. A. executives, that to do the most good the college organ must blink it eyes to embarrassing deficiencies and render what in any case cannot be mistaken for anything but Constructive Criticism. The idea underlying this dictum is that reform c:im he accomplished only by the meek: all others need not apply. Were it preferable. the COLLEGIAN would have assumed long ago the gentle role that has been advocated for it, and even, on an occasion last year. was forced upon it. But from exper ience, board after board has discovered that to point out a mistaken policy, or an error in admin istration,' it is advisable to leave the shallow grooVe to the College wardens and strike out bold ly. Yet often where the need for bettering con ditions is so obvious as to becoMe frightful, no amount of denunciation can bring any action, or, indeed. betray a whimper. And so, since we feel that in certain matters the controllers of our des tinies cannot be cajoled, nor even reasoned with, we beg of them that in the matter of final exam inations may they be at least vigilant, even if it means forgoing constructive criticism, and we beg of them to remember that integrity cannot be bartered for mercy. We have, as can be seen, started early this year in attacking the present system of many institutions, more especially, of final examinations. But it is not because we enjoy playing the Puri tan: it is simply because it is distracting and per plexing. MORE ABOUT THE A. A. CONSTITUTION When a much used bridge becomes antiquated and in danger of collapse, little time is wasted in making the repairs that would restore its original usefulness—if those interested are wise. When anything vital to those * in the immediate vicinity is in need of change, it is usually not long before the remedy is forthcoming—provided that the necessary interest is followed by the will to do. ' The much used bridge in this particular case is the constitution and by-laws of the Penn State Athletic Association. Faculty, student and al umni committees have acted in the role of work men in bringing about necessary changes in the A. A. Constitution—the revision of which has long been needed. - President Vice-President - Treasurer The proposed changes in the constitution and by-laws of the Athletic Association are printed in their entirety elsewhere in this issue. These should be read by every undergraduate in order that he may vote with some degree of wisdom when the polls are open for that purpose on Mon day. May ninth. Editor '-n-Chief Assistant Editor Managing Editor `A'omen's. Editor There is nothing complex about the proposed revision. The student body merely votes pro or con on the A. A. constitution and by-laws as they have been changed by the three committees. At each of the six polling places in each of the six schools, there will be a copy of the new amend ments for the convenience of the voters. W. lAril. Jr. '2B P. It. Smaltz '2S. It is necessary for forty per cent of the stu dent body to vote on these amendments, and for a two-thirds majority to be cast favorably, in or der that the new Athletic Association constitu tion may become effective immediately. If the interests of the students are properly focused on current campus affairs, then the balloting will near the hundred per cent mark. There is a duty for every undergraduate to perform on Monday, May ninth. Otherwise an embarrassing situation might result. ===l Circulation 31anager R. H. Kilborn W.. 1. 31c1.aughlin A short time ago, the Y. M. C. A. conducted a campus balloting for the election of officers for 1927-28. The names of the nominees were an nounced in two consecutive issues of this paper and then two days of voting took place. The elec tion over, the successful candidates came in line io• congratulations—which is as it should be. The Y. :IL C. A. has annually followed this pro cedure of electing officers to head that organiza tion—which procedure, to our way of thinking, is not as it should be. The men working to fulfill the duties of the Y. M. C. A. on the Penn State campus (and that is a most worthy form of endeavor) are rarely well known about• the campus, prior to their election. The men with whom they work throughout the year are far better fitted to vote on the respective merits of the candidates for election than is the average student who does not even know the man for whom he places an (X) in the square across from his name. So saying: we will sit back and watch the Y. M. C. A. again hold an all-college ballot for the election of officers for 1928-29 when the time comes next year. IThe Bullosopher's Chair imithers:—"Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Benja min. Franklin and Grover Cleveland would never have re ceived degrees from modern American universities." "What!" Smithers:—Oh, I'm merely quoting. "Quoting? From 'whom? Smithers:—A professor. In sonic , newspaper. "A h!" Emiterst—Why the knowing "ah!" I'll het it's Nicholas Murray Butler." Smitherst—No. "William Lynn Phelps?" Smithers:—No. "Glenn Frank, Alexander Meiklejohn, Percy Marks?" Smilhers:—No. You'd never guess. I never heard the name before. It's Professor Whittlesey of Princeton. He thinks that Lincoln was too poor to have come to college today, that Cleveland was not sufficiently glib, that Jet fersow and Franklin would have been expelled. "Expelled?" Smithers:—Prof. Whittlesay believes that "the present aini Of the college is to stratify students; socially, scholastic 'illy. and in their standards of conduct." Here's the rea son. Both Franklin and Jefferson would not have sub mitted to the restraints placed upon present day students.
