P c7.! ..per FRIDAY, MAY 11, 192 S FIGURES DONV LIE In the last issue of this publication there appear ed an editorial entitled "THE VOTING PROBLEM." an article which, in the discussion of the newly born rumor of fradulent methods in the general class el ections, made mild accusations al ballot stuffing, claiming that more so t ers. in a certain school, than were eligible cast ballots At least the final recapit ulation revealed that the number of sores cast in one school exceeded the number actually enrolled Students have reacted to tne accusation in var ious modes Sonic have sensed intiult and demand apology, sonic have applauded the action and ask for continued investigation, while others, admitting the possibilits of truth in the statement feel inclined to believe the action a bit hosts Because of the unexpected student interest, the Collegian is resolved to continue the investigation in the interests of fairness and clean politics No need is felt to^ apolop since an official couht was pro cured from Student Council tellers, an authentic en iollment number was secured From the school cm cerned and the majority still favors the number at Loters' If there was and mistake or misstatement, it Ices with the figures of tht. tellers or with those issued by the suspicious school And both arc taken as TO MOTHER The unsung and oiten unappreciated heroine in everfones life is Mother Beginning mall the mud dling clothes stage she m ttches mer us, ministers to our cants and corrects our tailings before they be- Lome imbedded in our character During the age of marbles and spinning tops Mother listens to our petty troubles with the patience of a Job She encourages us in time of defeat and failure and glories in our victories Our every action gives her torment or sat istaction. It hurts her when we do wrong It hurts us when she applies corrective measures for those wrongs But after all, the momentary sting of ' palming" or a shingle party is a small matter com pared is the importance of teaching us to walk in the ways that are right As childhood advances into youth and we feel less need of support, advice and sympathy, we have' a tendency to draw awry trout filothei's influence We no longer carry every little curry and difficulty' to her. We feel, in fact, a certain sense of martyi dom in suffering in silence taut Mother is still as interested mus as ever She feels that we are draw ing away from her and finds it hard to reconcile her scat 551 th ice tact that we are growing up, and must soon, too soon to suit her, lease the maternal fireside to forge tar ourself es During the period of adolescence we often think harshly about Mother because she meddles, we bit lieve, in our pri,ate attars, because she \stints us to do things we don't want to do Later, sometimes too late, we realire that all was meant to make us better men and women and hat ate owe her a debt of grati tude we can never repay. The celebiation of national Mothers' Day tomor row gives us an opportunity to show how much we ap preciate what has been done for its. It your mother has found it circumstancially possible to - be with you at the College on this week-end, .t variety of ways by which you may entertain her hate been prepared. Tonight there is t musical recital and a vaudeville show at the Schwab auditorium On the morrow she should attend the Penn State Parents' Associa tion to become acquainted math the Mothers of her son's or daughter's classmate, and to hear President Hemel and the other speakers of note The afternoon and evening offers intercollegiate sports contests, a tea at the Women's Building, the May Day fete and the Player's farce-comedy, "The Family Upstairs." To the visiting Mothers, we emend a hearty wel come and wish them an enjoyable week-end with their sons and daughter, It Father seems to have been neglected, %member that Father had his day last fall Tomorrow is Mothers' Day, MAY D \ Y Annual observance fo Mav Day Festivities atll he made tomot row night on the front campus and will also he a part of the Mothers' Day escreises. An elaborate program has been prepared for the cere mony of crowning Miss Elizabeth T. Ilazel '2B Queen of the May. In order that the pageantry may be ear ned off successfully, iewill be necessary to confine the onlookers to a certain space on the campus Stu- 'dents, see hope, will behave themsehes becomingly land will not cross d, push or try to break through the !lines in their anmety to see all that is going on. Again, the students will remember that they arc the hosts of their mothers this week-end and will !always give preference to their guests. Particular ly in the open air theatre, the capacity of which is I comparatnely small, will care need to be taken to prevent any untortunate occurrence that might iwir ithe success of the May Day festivities , President Vice-President Editor-In-ChM Assistant Editor Managing Editor Associate Editor Associate Editor By a recent action of the Dartmouth Athletic Council partially wiped away the distinction between major and minor sports at the Hanover institution. Instead of awarding a large D for a major sport and a smaller D with the subsidiary small letters 'for a minor sport, a straight D will be given to !lettermen in all sports The distinction is not entire. !Iv done away with, however, for the new D's will he graduated in size according to the importance of the sport for which they are awarded The Council took the action because they con isidered the use of smail letters in the minor sports !award i sign of snobbishness It seems that the ac- Ition of the Council was far from removing the dis ;elimination between major and minor sports The "snobbishness" remains. The Council merely altered !the method of discrimination Under the new sys- Item it will no doubt be more difficult to distinguish ibetween letters awarded for different sports, but he ,distinction is still there H P. Mlleham '29 L Mltstaer '29 Business Manager \ .erlising Manager culation Manage, There was evidently another reason for changing the means of distinguishing between sports letters The new method offers a partial solution to the prob lem of giving a just amount of recognition to descry ing sports through the insignia It is extremely dif ficult to classify all sports into two hard and fast divisions, major and minor The fact that there affe !sports which fall into a class midway between major land minor standing gave rise to much wrangling Under Dartmouth's new system there are three div lisions instead of too The football D's are to be !soen inches high, baseball, track, hockey and bas ketball D's six inches, and the D's of all other sports !only live niches Because of the smallness of making any distinc !non among the insignia awarded for varsity athletic !participation, all discrinunaton might be done wry !with and the same letter given in all sports But ' there is another side to the question It is certainly more difficult to win a letter in some sports than in !others The tootball player works through late sum mer, fall and early spring while the tennis man is active only in the spring Football, then, deserves ,more recognition than tennis and in a like manner :other sports tall into different spheres of importance Sports might also be rated according to the amount let general student interest in them It is still In open question whether sports ought to be rated at The Bullosopher's Chaii Snuffler, I hat a little am rise for you, liollosophei "Saline. e SOU planning to cleat Ludt payment on that rite- 9 " Souther, Hush.
