We do not believe that this is an indica tion that Penn State students ale not disposed to do any ea waist thinking, but lathes that they ale somewhat reluctant to ceps ess their views in print. In an effort to get the opinions of students on goes tuone of inteie-st the COLLFAIIAN in this issue is beginning n new deportment, TTIE FORUM. We will welcome concise contioveisy on any reasonable subject, and are listing a fen topics in the column today merely as sug gestions. In circlet to maie contributions brief and to the point the communications must be limited to 150 words. Tho letteis should be signed, but the signature will be withheld from punt if requested. We believe that THE FORUM will give students a chance to turn "restaurant gossip" into a little more than just passing comment. At any rate, here is the oppoitunity for students who have long desu eil means to emu ess then pet theories. Unable to restrain his militant attack upon com pulsory R 0 T. C , a Penn State student will go before Congressional committee next week to broach his MN,: and those of the groups he represents. To what extent he represents these people—how many of them lead the petition before signing it—is indeed dubious. Disregarding this fact, the whole affair seems rather inapplopnate at a time when the College awaits the action of its Trustee board on the same proposition. There is every assurance that this governing group will treat the matter fairly, will give it every consideration Then why tilt at v.indmills? QUALITY, NOT QUANTITY It Is admitted that too many people now go to col leges The college diploma is today regarded much as the high school certificate of two decades ago Yet the habit has mown to such an extent that a number of students plod though four yea's, not quite knowing what good it's doing them, except that at the end of eight semes toe a diploma 1.1.111 be' =aided. Evmmnations to limit students for further study might do much to relieve the present tendency toward a high regard for quantity without quality. Accom panying this proposal of a senate committee 19 one which stresses a bioadening of the educational system. Emphasis upon cultural, social, parental, and civic nualities, as well as upon some development of creative and independent thinking, Is necessary if colleges ate to tom out anything more than sell-paid workers. The students who prove at the end of two Yeats that they ate intelligent and capable lenders would, un der the committee's plan, he allowed to continue In the tippet classes. Other suggestions incorporated in this tepoit ate hoot couises, freedom from compulsory at tendance, the Quartet System, and a recognition of trichina on a par with research. Any thinking semot who glances through the ideas incorporated in this report will declare with regret• "If I'd had that kind of education!" For undoubtedly these suggestions mould make for nn ideal system of educa tion, in which the best would be segregated from the nashocre, would be allowed to e‘pand. And after all, every organtration is dependent upon leadets for its strength in the long run. A college that educates leaders is mole truly a college than a mere grist-mill of knowledge. The suggestions incorporated in this committee report would requii e much time in their application here Yet the ultimate use of sonic of them should co tainly prove valuable. In attempting , to hi ing the Pennsylvania Inter scholastic Basketball tournament back to Penn State the COLLFGIAN needs the support of not only the sports Sinters and coaches throughout the State, but every fmenci of the College interested in t. athletic futme. It is certain that such an event here would accomplish n great deal towards stimulating interest in the Col lege among young athletes of the Commonwealth. Very fcw high school students have any idea concerning the athletic equipment nt the disposal of Penn State stu- Cents. OLD MANIA We've been hearing a lot of stories lately 'con cerning James ("Sella°,7le") Norms, Beta Bad Boy, ostwhile Thespian, Litnaly Builder, and On'mar} Seaman. For instance It seems that at a recent meeting of Phi nu (yon tents, that place on Foster §) Mm Hamel', alumnae advisor, was cautioning the sisters assem bled on the necessity for stud observance of college regulations. Rumors mere sumpant that cell= Phi Mus were not paying very close attention to the eight o'clock ruling, and even that time had been men in the house after eight o'clock. About this time (8 10 P. M, to he exact) who should stroll jauntily into the Phi Mu house but Mr. Norris. It appears that the Phi Mos hold their meetings in n sole loom on the fist foot, and that the non-son m ity iesidents of the house were all up stairs in a hack room telling dirty jokes or some thing Anyway, there was no one to be seen, so James, who was all Mksl with a feeling of intense joie dr ono r , ccin if sir COI pt, meow dr menthe, etc, stationed himself at the foot of the stairs and bel lowed in his best Thespian manner the name of a certain Miss Culbertson. No ammo,. Not to be daunted, Jim repeated, mrscrwlo All of which, you can dell imagine, mas very embarrassing to Miss Culheit,on, who was sitting &real!, in front of Mts. Hurl ell. And a couple days ago Mr. Norris diopped into one of the local eating jernts for a dash of tea (you know lion these Betas are) Eventually a waitress stopped at his table, wheieupon Jim said that he'd like to have a pot of tea and a couple strumpets. The wathess looked a hit ponied, but took the ordei, and mocceded to go into conference ',in another uaitress. The second waitress shook her head to signify that she didn't know what strumpets were either, and a the d waiti ess was milled into the discussion. The situation was really getting serious, with everybody going mound asking other people what the hell is a strumpet, when the wry efficient supeivisoi came over to find out v.hat was up After she had ,hispeleil a few nerds to the first waitress, that person canoe had, to Jun's table "I'm von y," she goad, "but we don't have any trumpetc ' The recent spell of balmy weather has aroused out longing for strange tropical (cii even semi-trop ical places)—Tahiti, for instance, or Waikiki Beach, or Nassau. We even went so far;as to develop a strange maraical glean in our eye, gip, a pencil, and conic forth with the follooing travel, note. What a wonderful place is Bermuda, 'Melo the Women go 'Practically nude, Whole them 's no prohibition, (A lovely condition), And the onion's the penmen' fuda Accoiding to the !holm and White, our Lehigh contemporary, a bomb was placed on the doorstep of ofessor Ilci Le, t A Lorenz of the Lafayette fac ulty. Naturally this caused a lot of mxitement, until some hanly Easton detective opened the package and found that the bomb was composed of an alarm clock, two tubes of toothpaste, and a pencil. It is shp-shod methods like this that destroy our ladle in humanity. Caterers The One Reliable Brand Scarlet Royal Foods PRICES LOWEST IN TWENTY YEARS QUALITY EXCEPTIONAL THIS YEAR It C. WILLIAMS CO.

These letters, which must be uncle' 150 m ords in length, are to be signed, but - may be printed under pseudonyms if necessary. All topics of general interest may be discussed. For instance: 1.

Chinese Student Here Asserts West Should Boycott Imperialistic Japan "The Manchurian situation is a problem for the western world to handle, not for China," declai es Wil liam Q Wu '34, the only Chinese stu dent studying at Penn State this year. "China is not in a position to Insist Japan," he continued, "and unless the nations of the ccestern world take ac tion, she will beim serious difficulty" Pointing out that Japan's attitude at the present time is one of defiance against the League of Nations, Wu declared the coasters nations could stop Japan by ituguiating a boycott c, im of all commei with the petialis tic countiy, a easure that they do not click to taketfor financial seasons.
