HELLO DAD!
Per tie seventh successive year, Penn State
reaches out a film right hand to clasp the hand of
"Dad" in a genuine welcome as hundreds of fathers
of Penn 'State students acme on the campus today
and tomoirow for what has been set aside on the
College calender as their meek-end
The week-end is significant for two reasons it
shows to all those mho make this institution possible.
the inside workings of the "plant" where forunate
sons snend lota of the best seers of their life, it en
ables any wno base not had the same opportunities
as their sons, to bask in the sunlight of undergrad
uate life and for those whose lot it was to go to col
lege. to mace', again the peculiar joys that only a
campes can give
Business won ins should hove been left at home
by the visiting fathers. To them falls the opportun
ity to enjoy all that the College and the student body,
together, crn offer in the way of entertainment and
real hospitality The Nittany Lion roars a mighty
welcome as another delegation of Dads invades its
lair At the conclusion of this week-end visit, Penn
State hopes to add irany inore names to its eser•
gross mg Ist of staunch supporters.
A REMINDER
Within the short space of one week, all roads
throughout Penns)loan,a will lead to State College
and hundreds of members of Rotor!, Clubs from
every section of the state will be leaving numerous
firesides in order to "see what they shall see" during
a brief sojourn in a collegiate atmosphere as offered
in the Navin} Valley. Until that time, the local
Rotary Club committee is bustling around making
last-minute preparations to handle the expected
throng And beneath all the preparation is grain
:illy corning the icalization among members of f'enn
State's student body that the Rotarian convention
will he of a vast intangible salve to the College Af
ter all, that dawning realization is the student's own
way 5f prerai ing himself and his colleagues for the
occasions
, A convention of Rotary clubs,witHin",a,hundred
mile radius was hold in this comniunity:aligost eight
years ago but it was conducted along a smaller scale
and the total attendance did not exceed one hundred
and fifty The enthusiasm and pleasure, it is said,
that was displayed by those in attendance was of such
proportions that the sit is still discussed by those
who made the trip at that time.
A gathering of twelve hundred is expected next
well. watch will be the largest gathering of Rotar
ians ever held in this state. It is to be remembered
that eve; y visiting Rotary Club member holds a re
sponsible as well as successful position in his own
local business community and that every one that is
impressed by the possibilities of Penn State is an
other booster for the institution There will be
rosily visitors who arc totally unaware of the various
phases of the College, whose ideas of Penn State arc
greatly limited—the result of insufficient or improper
advei using
The success or failure of the Rotary Club con
vention rests solely upon the student body. True, a
well arranged program will be offered with prepara
tions complete to every detail, but the inspiration
that every Rotarian should carry away with hint will
be furnished by the living part of the College, its
,tudent body Each student can do more toward
the success of the convention than any amount at
s‘stemntiaed programs. The student is the thermo
meter of the College—if the mercury of his enthus
iasm soars to a high point then there must be some
thing worth-while about the institution besides its
name.
A great opportunity awaits the students of Penn
State acct week. An opportunity to spread its fame
and glory to every corner of the state Again, the
Rotarians arc coming!
TO PHILADELPIA!
The annual football game with one of Penn
State's foremost rivals, Pennsylvania, looms in the
oiling. In n fortnight', State College should have
been emptied of almost all of its surplus student
population as members of the four classes use every
possible means to get to Philadelphia,
When the Nittany Lion, yet untried, ,talks forth
beta' un Lxpected multitock of Lighiy-fine thousand
people to do battle with /I powerful Pennsylvania
team there should be almost twf.nty-thousand ardent
Penn State rooters to the stands ready, eager to "yell
their heads off" for the Lion to r.merge the victor.
It is not too early to plan how to get to Franklin
Field on October fifteenth. It Is the duty of every
student to arrange to be on hand when the referees
whistle indicates the start of another Pennsylvania-
Penn State motball struggle When these two in
stitutions meet in any sport, Phdadelphia sports
writers inevitably term the contest, "the best played.
most interesting guise of the season " It is a safe

TUTS PROCRASTINATION!
When tne grades tor the semester ending last
Jane were received during the summer by all those
concerned, it is more than probable that there was
nitiLli disappointment e• perieneed :s the report card
was scanned Disappointment because each one did
not receise the grades that he had undoubtedly re
sok ed to make months ❑chore when the semester was
Just starting
The probable immediate effect on each student
was a mutteting that he would get off to a flying
start in September, and would work hard to order to
make up for the pool glades that he had just receiv

tion was forgotten under the stress 3F a summer ro

return to College he remembered his resolution to
study—he repeltea it again—and soon he was back
on the campus attempting to heap afloat amidst the
swirling mass of student activities While a myth

undouotedly couched for by a majority of under
graduates.
