By this time the news that Penn State has
received its four million dollar appropriation will
have become as stale as old doughnuts. but never
theless four million dollars merits the attention
of even so conservative a journal as ours. Four
million dollars very plainly is not to he sneezed at.
It will buy new equipment for the science depart
ments, it will assure a new roof for Old Main, it
may even secure competent instructors. Gol'ol'-
1101' Fisher, we thank thee.
IN ANTICIPATION
Charles 11f. Schwab. steel maker extraordi
nary. President of the Am,i'xan Society of .le
eltniettl Engineers, and donor of the Schwab Aud
itorium at Penn State, will deliver an address here
Friday night. Air. Schwab. in spite of his profic
iency at steel making, is a remarkably interesting
personage. He himself would object to being cal
led a personage. Ile would call himself a person.
And despite all that has been said about listening
to Mr. Schwab out of gratitude to his Auditorium
we believe that most Penn State students will wel
come \lr. Schwab not only as a benefactor but as
an orator. Mr. Schwab will speak on senti
ment in business; and Mr. Schwab has a way of
being interesting - . Mr. Schwab, we thank thee.
"DESTROYER" AGAIN
Despite all the howling and blathering that
the Student. Tribunal has put up 1 his.year it can
not be denied that customs at Penn State are
still as merry as ever: in point of being what a
reader of "Stover at Yale" imagines college life
to be, we doubt if Penn State can be equalled
throughout the land, even by Yale. This is a
tremendous educational advantage. We mean this
seriously. There is a certain zest, an exuberance
of boyhood if you will. in the spectacle of two
classes pulling oil each other's pants. It is a sign
of fun, of good humor. of youth. No one ever saw
two. professors roiling around in romance. The
reason is obvious: youth. to an agonizing extent.
.tinst.•be wittehedthe;motiyes, of, prohibition are
bewitehing. , profess Ors, ascent by tr;lditiOn,
are bulldozed. ißtit that is 11CF,idp the qties
,tiou; our preS . Cot pl'Obkll is tll6 Student Tribunal.
• What :hns - the St utout:Tribunal done to cor
rect customs infractionS? What has it done to
inculcate a spirit, of love for Penn State in the
heart of a freshman brought up before
it on some nonsensical charge? What has it
done to make customs enduring? The answer is
devastating. The Student Tribunal hasn't done
a thing. Outside of their usual impotent policing
of class scraps the Justices have done nothing
more to discharge their duties than to assume
front seats in Doctor• Pattee's classroom, chew to
bacco. and exchange smutty pleasantries • with
their victims.
When some idea is discovered that might put
new sport in customs—Spirit Week, for example—
it is not the Tribunal who does the discovering; it
is Student Council. The husky athletes who fill
out the robes of justice so splendidly have nothing
to do with it: they merely condemn. They do not
ever. examine. Why Student Council does not ap
point some intelligent representatives to treat the
cases bearing on customs. is a mystery. Athletes,
very obviously. arc not intelligent. Or else the
athletes sparkling Tribunal keys are not intelli
gent.
For the benefit of all concerned it is highly
advisable that the Student Tribunal carries on
during Spirit Week. That custom has a peculiar
sportiveness all its own. It indicates summer, it
signifies youth, and most of all it creates joy. But
whether the present group of bearcats understand
all this we do not know. They think a freshman
is a football, and arc just as likely to kick him
around as not.
FIFTI"IIIOUSAND DOLLARS REWARD
IVith the announcement that a Columbia uni
versity student has won the ten thousand dollar
prize offered' by "College Humor" there is likely
to be a sudden rush toward Coronoas and a new
whacking away for the fifty thousand dollar re
wards promiscil by the Woodrow Wilson Foundit-
tion. ‘Vitivait inotiv, - -s of. the
