Undei this si stem townspeople, visitors, and faculty members. weie fiee to use the links with no obligation to help meet the cost of upkeep. In togatd to these, the justice of the additional fee is self evident. During the summei months, because of heavy traffic on the links, the gicatest poilion of the expenses foi keeping the link-, in good shape is entailed With this fact in view Summei Session students must admit the equity of the new fee It is the legulai students who me loudest in their protestations against the summei fee. They insist that the student athletic fee paid duung the ycai should en title them to all-veai use of the couise But if this tax is found insufficient, an added fee is ecitainly justi fiable.

What could be moie eomfoiting than that? SELF-SELECTION Registrar llofTman’s (limJosuic that Penn State c'asses conducted their own selections in seeking en hance hero is significant A college conducted pri marily to serve the State cannot set up rigid entrance requirements unless its applicants are of high calibre. It must admit as main students as it can piov ide for, regardless of then high eligibility. The piocess de velops into a purely competitive svstem of eliminations, fcs'ed on the comparative piepmedness of those who sjek admission If high school graduates in the fust fifth of then classes apply in Inige numbers, while thou less foitunntc c’assmates in the final fifth do not, the result would seem to be most fortunate for the high standing of the College Obviously the elimination which the College must conduct becomes less difficult, just as obviously, standards are raised tonsidoi ablv. The wisdom of these students fiom the last fifth who do not apply is woithv of comment It is an un fortunate fact, jet one which novel alteis, that of eveiy 1200 students who detcimine to seek higher educa tion, less than 800 giaduate The students who en tiled with low wink me those most likely to lie lost along the way. They saved the State and themselves a great deal of vvoiry and expense bv admitting the difficulties cf four College veins looked too gieat Philippe Soupault, in his fust visit to America, finds that the most stukmg fcatuie of out educative sys tem is its practicality, as contrasted with the idealistic and cultural stress made in Fiance The aveiage American goes to College—we must admit it—to learn bow to make monev. lie specializes. But the need loi some of the Ficnth idealism, itiltuie, and intel lectuality to go with the pincttuil timning has long been cbscived Wbethei Ameiica training its students to earn, or Fiance limning them to learn, is better off, would be hard to s»ny. A blending of the two ideals Summer Session Sallies We were up at the college tennis-comt* the other day, and while we wore waiting for a vacant court, a couple of French Institutes ginbbed the court next to u®. After battling the balls about foi a minute or two, one of les belles dames ftancaises said, “Well, shall wc plav in French or English’” “Ficnch,” tcplied the other pnity, being one of these persons who takes her Institutes seriouslv, no doubt. We watched them playing m French for a while, but it was pretty lousy tennis in any language HUGH R. RILEY JR. Telephone 170 Telephone 129 Maybe you’ve noticed the boulder beside the walk opposite the Mam Enginecnng Building. It had a bronze tablet on it, and the tablet reads: “The Old Willow,” and goes on to tell how the old willow was picscntcd by’ the class of sometlnng-oi other, way back when. If you look light behind the Louldei you’ll find the willow alright, and it’s till of five yeais old, or maybe six. The dope ii that theie really was an old willow thoio once, but it blew down. This left the college in quite a fix*. There they were with a boulder and tablet on then hands, and no old willow But some ingenious poison finally went out and got a wee little wallow and sneaked it in behind the boulder Tiaditions must be preserved—and in forty oi fifty years nobody will know the difference We predict, however, that by the time that new tiee gets to be really old and venerable, the boulder will have blown over or something, tablet and all. Willow tiees aie pietty easy to get. but you can’t pick up a good boulder just any old place. Being as this is our fust summei school, vve were all surprised at the way these school tcachcis conduct themselves when they get owav fionr home and the local school-board. Ileie all the time wc weie think ing that school teachers weie a teuificallv conserva tive hunch, always talking about keeping a straight maigm on the paper or giv mg us the devil because vve spelled Euiope “c-u-r-o-p-t’’ instead of “CAPITAL E-u-i-o-p-e.” And now vve find them running around without any stockings, trying to pick up strange men in the Corner Unusual, and generally getting nvvav with murder And so another illusion goes .blah We haven’t seen any of them standing on a comer whistling to passing boys, but vve won’t be surprised when wo do. Up until yesterday we were under the inrpics ston that when a person started being a school teacher, they began at the fust giade and worked up until they were teaching high school This seemed a pietty logical idea, but it was wiong just the same According to one of them, they’re liable to stait out teaching any old grade, and stav there the rest of their lives Sometimes they get married though. Wc once knew a female school-teacher (A remarkably sensible crcachcr) Who claimed swimming pools In pubbilhck schools Wore a highly desnable feachcr Did you read in this issue about the freak egg which one of the local hens produced’’ Amvav, it seems that it was the pullet’s fust attempt, and when the egg was hiokcn lo and behold theie was another egg inside, complete with shell, yolk, and what-not. Doc Murblc said that the chicken was probably' frightened by something, probably some practical-joking rooster, and that the pooi little thing waa so scared sho just laid another egg ground* -th'c.fust one.' Oiir gufcss is that beirig.yo'ifng.and in experienced she plumb forgot' bout that first egg and started all over again*on the second.
