State Callen, l'a a, second-elm matter TUESDAY. JUNE 5, MS COMMENCEMENT Graduation days arc happy drys—and sad ones, especially for the graduate, within whose bosom surges conflicting emotions of joy and sorrow There is the joy of achievement. self-satisfaction for having completed a four-year course to college There is the sorrow which comes to those who have loved Penn State and who leave it, despite their :Anxiety to seek their lot in the world, with a half reluctant step, slow to depart, quick to return Beyond, the world awaits with everything that man desires—and some things that he despises On the one hand there is fame, success, happiness, pros perity; on the other there is tailurc, misfortune, ca lamity, poverty It mat' be that both the kind and un kind hand sill bring alternate joy and sorrow, fortune and misfortune Graduation is not the ending, it is the commence ment, the beginning of a new life with new enter prise new interests, new friends, new surroundings Once more the first year dawns and once more grad-, mates will meet it as freshmen—willing ,ambitious or perhaps indifferent, unaspiring and careless The lofty senior pinnacle must be vacated for a more lowly post where a new beginning will be made. Privilege vanishs; seniority disappears; gold keys, certificates, diplomas ore-preserved—but only ps memories of col lege life f Seniors. farewell. May fortune be )our eternal lot and success the due reward for your ability, am bition and perseverance May your college e•per fence serve you in good stead May the spirit of old Penn State abide as an unfailing inspiration and life long comfort Once snore we bid you—not farewell, but adieu. A TYPEWRITING COURSE? Just about this time of year when final themes are due and stenographers, public or private, have no scruples about charging exorbitant rates the col lege student who has not learned, artlessly or othei wise, to tap the keys in swift and regular order is blaspheming his indiscretion in not having learned the art of typing when the opportunity presented itself (if it did) during his hip school career. At least, he is parting reluctantly with shekels which might have been sased and spent more advantageously. • Those who would regard the matter of typewrit ing as a petty, trivial one, should know that the stud ent who has mastered the touch system has a decided advantage over his brother who toils at the 'pick and push' method or, better, over the student who has not any practical knowledge of the art of unpreszion. For in almost of cry course some writing is • requi?ed. hentes written in long hand arc accepted, of course, but with less credit than those typewritten Instruct ors stand ready to admit their preference and conse quent higher grade for the latter and invariably en courage students to use the typewriter. Yet, there is not even the semblance of a course at Penn Smte which would prepare students for four, years of t}pewriting It may not be needed for the select few uho availed themselves of the opportunit ,, ' (seldom presented) to Icarn the typing science, but it would be practical and valuable to those, in the vast majority, whos ignorance of typing has actuated a craving, an earnest desire to acquire pi oficiency nt it. Typewriting ability will be an asset not only during a college career but also after graduation in the early period of business training. Just how many more classes will endure the de cided disadvantage because of the obvious need for such a course depends entirely upon the discretion of the powers that be. With their good graces we may yet have our first course in typewriting. PENN STATE SPIRIT CHALLENGED Penn State spirit, that magical. omnipresent quality which has been the greatest inspiration to students of this institution during their various un dertakings, is destined to undergo a severe test, if the prophecy President Hctzel sentured in his Bond Issue mass meeting speech is fulfilled. There is no doubting the forthcoming trial. The allegiance of every Penn State student will be tested to its fullest capacity and will survive triumphantly if it is real instead at artificial, it it is actual instead of imaginary For many years Penn State spirit has existed without a really serious challenge to measure its worth. Generation after generation of graduates have acclaimed its individual character, praised its sterling quality and recited instances when its depend ability was evident But no event occurring in the past three years has tested the fibre of this spiritual material with so much strain as will the coming eight million dollar Bond Issue passage of the issue and thus render this College the greatest possible sonic° It is in execution of this invaluable service that Penn State spirit, if it is a willing aide, mill be called into play. A general °punt ' istic spirit, supplemented by a vigorous, sincere ef fort on the part at every individual 'to secure the greatest number of votes humanly possible, an inter ested concern oser the success of the amendment lcombined with a willingness to sari ilice time and service for the sake of the College will all be evident if the true Penn 'State spirit is to prose its worth—as we believe it will Indifference, lack of intzrest and unwillingness to serve during the crisis will arouse suspicion over the existence of that real, inspirational, traditional institution—Penn State spirit Pa mica _Vlce-Pi esident Tt easuret —Editor-in-Chief _Asmstant Edith' Managing Editor A,socrate Edittn RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED- Impressions gathered at the last meeting of Stud ent Council would lead us to believe that certain at titudes must be altered and fancy illusions dispersed if this year's administrative group is to expect the success experienced by the 1927-28 organization Co-operation must pre% ail There must be no divi sion 01 purpose, of that purpose which e•.ist's for the athancement of student and College interests Thei e are in the ranks of the Council ninny new men, some of whom hate not yet realized the purpose or significance of the body which they help constitute.

GARAGE Prexy Seeks Student Aid in Bond Campaign (Continued from first page) getting all their friends, their par ents and neighbors "sold" on the Bond Issue. In this Dr Hetzel was especially successful in giving infor mation to the students The appeal of the Issue is great, he pointed out, and the facts supplied in the student markers' handbook, if carefully =m imed by the student, will supply the best information He stressed thd point that tele. ely few people ac tually know that the College is a wholly dependent , state institution, without any endowment, and few voteis are aware of the fact that the Bond Issue pi oposal has been made and is to be voted upon in November.
