THANKS TO BUCKNELL!
Thanks must be offered to Bucknell, not for the defeat
inflicted, to be sure, but for the splendid co-opmatlon a
rms,' to impressing Saturday's spectators with the neces
sity of checking Amendment No. 2 with a fmornblo X It
is doubtful whether every college in the State would hase
been so unselhsh ns to make public her support of an
institution against which she competes not only m tho
athletic field but also in the field of enrollment,
Considering the proximity of Penn State to Bucknell,
as well as the overwhelming competition a State institu
tion can oder, the Lewisburg college is deserving of all
the more gratitude A successful passage of the amend
ment, as we see it, means a greater and better Penn State,
which, in thin, might even turn prospects of Bucknell into
students of this college.
At any rate, the Bucknell display was noble, consid
erate and all the more Impressive because it was a plea
made by a competing college lot its competitor. Penn
State hopes that it may seine day be in a position to se
torn a favor Until me can snore bur gratitude by action,
no can only say, "Thanks, Buckbell, thanks"
Too much authority in the classroom by menthols 01
the teaching plofession is narrowing instead of expanding
the intelligence and knowledge of the college student.
Primary grades hose been passed. Surely it is no longer
necessary to impose pet beliefs and teachings upon stud
ents wain mild dogmatism. And Penn State has too few
leal authotthes whose swots can be taken vetbatim and
swallowed

The recent petition submitted to the Council of Ad

Student Council voted to hold classes on the Alumni
holiday Tot several iea,ons. Fast of all, too many hat
mdays already tall in the "unollicial holiday" class In
order come the Peon game, Alumni Homecoming, house
party week-end' and the Noting dates. Furtheimore, it
was felt that leturning alumni members could enjoy see

then old institators and renew acquaintaneeships. With
the new arrangement, the elassioom schedule, especially
that of the labolatoir, would remain mole leasonably
intact.

Collegiate Definitions
Guy is a common collegiate noun used to describe any
and all members of phylum vertebtata, genus homo sap
meaning the "arse guy,” nt man among other ani
mals. College students use generally included in this
classification
Guy is, of course, a short simple qmd, so easily se
membeied, so plebiun in quality that it conies to the hu
man mind first and most facilely as a synonym for man
It is a noun used, confused and abused by the hard-work
ing college student a hose time is so occupied that he can
not waste precious seconds.or menial geniiis in cOnceiving
such unnecessary terms as gentleman, fellow, boy, pro
fessor, doctor of whate‘m tetra most accurately desmibes

Umbels of the intelligentsia as noel! as apostles of
the bible of Good Use join adjectives in condemning the.
noun pip as an ignoble outcast of the Webster an categocv
Yet, the collegiate mass insist not only upon the life but
upon the supremacy of then good woad pity, since esen
Webster himself defines that noun thus• "a person of
queer looks or dress"
College students are so unconsciously subtle

I Talks by Deans
So much iv being written these days
about the Liberal Ai is College, its dif
ficulties, ailments, and general run
down condition, so ninny lemedies
are being offered, mostly quack; that
one hesitates to add anything. But
the answer of the Pennsylvania. State
College to these criticisms is embod
ied in the catalog on pages 165 to
168 I wonder if students who ieally
want to know something about the
owl, of the College evei ose the cata
log. If you do read the catalog go
no further If you do not read the
catalog, go ahead. i i i
The School of Liberal Arts recog
nizes that a general and cultural,
! training is the best locomotion fel
life, but it also r eali,es that an oc
cupational goal is highly desirable
without going into the technical de
tails of any occupation Therefore in
order to maintain our ideal of lowad
tiaming and intelligent :tom emotion
of the finer things of life, together
with the development of the intellec
tun/ faculties, and at the name time
to facilitate preparation for future oc
cupations the following choices use
offered
Arl. fot those uho rush to engage
in some form of professional work in
fine or applies! att.
Soi those uho N‘ish to
entet business or the industties to
some capacitl othci than technical.
Pre-Legal, fin those who . uish to
tube a collegiate couige in plop.,
lion -tot pi otegsional n orb in law
Public Sersice. Sot those who mish
to enter sonic lons of official of un
official public 'ctvice
Religious. for those ithe I..ish to
enter the ministry or the nuviionaiy
held, and position, imolving religious
service.
Writing nr Journalism, foi those
who wish to become mtiteis. either by
piofession of for pleasure
For those mho wish a general train
ing not definitely aimed toward an oc
cupation, of lot those who wish to
pursue intensite study in some par
ticular field of lemning, work along
these lines is offered in a Geneial
Training major stoup.
All students meat have as a founda
tion those speeilic C 01.11905 mhieh we
!Jaime to be essential fen our degree
of Bachelor of Alt..
Particulni attention should be called
to the fact that plans aie completed
and material icady lot helping young
moluen.to choose no occupation suited
to then wishes and then needs Most
young women think that teaching is
the only occupation open to them If
they ate suited to this work and feel
that they would enjoy it them theie
is no better opportunity fen them
But on the othet hand if they me bet

Dour Sirs.
Too years ago_last winter I went
into the Red Logo gold fields in
Canada It was a tough trail from
Hudson, ,over 140 miles of snow and
leo. There were fourteen of us on the
trail going in, and frequently at night
alien Booted around a big camp fire,
some one would ask me for a pipeful
of Edgeworth. These Canadian boys
sure like our Edgeworth.
In four *woke' time I ran .out of
Edgeworth I was glad to get 'most
any old tobacco.
•
One day, hoe ever, I dropped in to
Dad Emu n's tent, a 72-year-old pros
pector, and seeing a can of Edgeworth
on an improvised table, back there 150
irides from the "steel," 1 perked up at
once, saying, "Dad, I'm plum out of
tobacco—how's damsen for a pipe
ful'" "Help yourself," he said. So
path= my heavy duty pipe from my
pocket, I loaded it with Edgeworth,
gt thackin e g least bit of alt is so tihtl
arise' y that I couldn't
et
I excused myself for a moment, and
stepped outside to remove about three
pipefula to put in my pouch. Dad
stepped out, saying, 'You're noise
than any Scotchman / ever saw"
Then I confessed. I told lain what
happened to my Edgeworth—that
was just , dying' for a smoke, and he
understood right away. Ile said,
"Boy, Edgeworth ss mighty nearer pn
these parts, but ,I reckon I can spare
what's left of that can Help yourself "
You can just bet your last nickel
that I guarded this Edgeworth with
extreme care until I got beck to the
,'sack"
