Thi, Issue IUrSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1928 AFTER GRADUATION-GOLF In answer to the much discussed question, "Why Go to College' , " many university presidents and tithe's of importance have ventured opinions, but Isw han,e linen able to agree on any one viewpoint For most of us, however, the belief that college is a pt~pvanno for life to satisfactory. Evaluating ed. itioaal institutions to the light of this criterion, one hods tnat they fall short in athletic training. Under the system now in vogue a few receive a highly specialized training in the more vigorous sports such as football, basketball and track, while the majority slight physical education classes and void muscular exertion as much as possible There ale coon a few of the small group who participate aCill eh to retei‘e a preparation, not for life after giaduation, but for positions on professional teams and as coaches. Just as good mental habits should be acquired at college, so should the body become adjusted to a life of normal activity What happens to the varsity ha , ketball or football player who enters the business nr prole=stonal world" Certainly he will not find time to take the same amount of e ercise that he was ..ccustomed- to during his undergraduate days. Con sequently the process of ,adjusting 'his appetite and body to the new conditions is usually unpleasant and sometimes fatal Obesity and "bay windows," which, hewo,,r, are frequently due to other causes, are often tne results of the body's struggle to meet the demands placed upon it Would it not be far better for the student to ac quire .1 skill and devotion to some form of physical sun 'iv that he can follow in en eryday life" Golf and tennis are two sports that call foi enough mitten lai exertion to keep the muscles in trim Both re gime neither too much nor too little skill for the abil ity ol the average snarl and are within the reach of ni.arlv every college graduate Other activities such as swimming, walking and setting-up exercises are valuable, but lack the competitive element. The first attempt of note to promote a scheme of this kind was ^ecently accomplished at the Naval Academy when golf was made a highly-recommended, although not compulsory, part of the curriculum Midshipmen electing the Scotch pastime must take ten lessons and lutist pass on the course before schol astic ci edits will be awarded The Annapolis author ities have been the first to give public recognition am the importance ol undergraduate sports that may be continued in alter-life Other institutions will show wisdom in stiessing some of the so-called minor sports and providing an opportunity for more stu dents to pat ticipate under capable guidance. EDUCATING THE ALUMNI All too frequently the college diploma - is the death %v.', rant of further education The recipient of the LovLted sheepskin is sorely tempted to stride egotistically into a skeptical world brandishing a sheet of paper in lieu of brains and ability. For a while the dodge deceived shrewd business men, but only for a while. The employers of college gradu ates sought protection from the insidious practice by pi °claiming the value of higher education negligible he defenders of learning reciprocated with statistics to show that the monetary value of tour years of study is vault approximately SCVelltV-FiVC thousand creased, however, but the controversy did reseal the fact that education only began to college, that the prerequisities for a dipolma were not always the same as those for breadwinning jobs. Fortunately the idea that college merely gtses one a fast start on n lifetime of learning is rowdy in creasing in favor and practice The most recent de velopment along this line is the esablishment of "The Alumni University of Michigan" by Dr. Clarence Cook Little, president of the University of Michigan, Each one of Michigan's smty-seven thousand alumni who enrolls, will choose a subject which interests hint. or her. If the choice be literature, Michigan profes ast and surpervise courses In _ !acuity will keep their alumni-students in for,. about all the latest developments and tenden cies in their chosen field The alumni will also be free to visit their departments, quiz professors, write letters of inquiry and use the library of the labora tories They will be perpetual students Tuition fees will be voluntary•, according to the wealth or gener osity of the individual. One thousand graduates have manifested their approval of the scheme by ap plying for admission to this new university Premdent Vice-President Editor-in-Chief Assistant Editor :Managing Editor Associate Minn Associate Main II P. Mitcham '2O L Mastifer '29 'Doctor Little, who also favors birth control and carries on research work in heredity, is the first ad ministrator with sufficient courage and foresight to sponsor such a plan. As soon as students realize that most college courses form a background with which to interpret current practices, events and tendencies and as such, need to be related to the present and nit studied as isolated units and promptly forgotten alter the final exam, then misunderstanding and differences between college life and the "world" will be wiped out Business Manager The Bellefonte Central, for years the butt of many an undergraduate and alumnus joke, is about to forsake this role. State College is to have rail road passenger service and the Bellefonte Central very sincerely intends to assume this responsibility No more will the screechy whistle and the disturbing snorts announce only the arrival or departure of a few belated freight cars chasing after a puffing loco motive No more will a few soot-covered riders emerge from a rickety caboose, for the Bellefonte Central intends to convey passengers in modern cm s from Tyrone direct to State College. After many years of comparative isolation from the world because of limited transportation facilities, Penn State will at last be at ailed of railroad con nections The Bellefonte Central, in purchasing the' eighteen-mile line between Stover and Fairbrook hats opened the way for direct railroad communication with Tyrone where cast and west-bound express trains are accessible A six-mile road is to be built from Struble station to Fairbrook. thus forming a through- line to Tyrone This step on the part of the railroad authorities will result in several changes in Penn State life For cne, the cherished isolation of the College which sonic have deemed so valuable to education, will be in part removed. Because it is so difficult at present to leave State College at one's convenience, students are thought to be in closer contact with their studies But this will be counterbalanced by the fact that the proposed railroad facilities will remove any ha:- tiers that may have prevented distinguished speakers and educators from visiting the College Holiday congestions will be avoided and business men will be provided with better shipping accommodations fn the final analysis both Penn State and State College will benefit by the addition of a direct railroad connection.
