AN EVENT
The success of Senior Ball, especially in its financial
aspects, recommends itself for some mention since it is
the first senior function within the short memory of
most students that has paid for itself or, at least, has
not shown up with a deficit when the final- roll was
called. Some may view this happy circumstance with a
note of sadness since deficits from past senior dances
were so expected and regular an event that they had be
come a tradition. In fact deficits were figured into the
budgets.
The lowering of the admission cost to three dollars
has proved practical whether or not it can definitely be
given as the sole reason for the financial success of the
dance. The reduction in price was announced as an ex
periment— would be recommended to commit
tees arranging future dances if the results were favor
able. It now seems reasonable that the dancing public
may plan for continuance of reduced rates.
If dances can be run within a budget that provides
for breaking even, there has been no objection on the
part of committee members to reduce the price to the
minimum. The realization that all-College dances
should be made available to as many students as possible
is dearly apparent. Heretofore the only obstacle to the
lowering of the price has been the risk involved in set
tling the highly controversial question of whether the
price within certain limits affects the number attending
a dance or not. That, was the problem that confronted
the Senior Ball committee. The other groups now have
something move with which to react! a conclusion.
FINANCIAL STRAITS
Following in tin* wake of an economic depression
that has reached new lows, seeming death knells are be
ing sounded for vital elements in both the educational
and athletic structures of colleges and universities
throughout the country. College presidents, at a loss to
discover means for carrying on their established pro
grams, arc being forced to cut drastically and in many
cases, with little thought for sentiment, into the very
heart of the educational set-ups of their institutions.
Penn State, too, has been going through the process of
rigid economy and more remains to be done if the ten
percent budget cut in the various schools can be made
in administrative and other parts of the work.
Credit is due the administration for keeping always
before them as an objective the fact that salaries must
ho the last thing to be touched in the economy program
as long ns there remains anything else of lesser impor
tance. This further attempt to meet a decrease in prob
able appropriation by economy along other lines must
be reassuring to the faculty.
While other universities were sti]l planning expan
sions two yc-ars ago, President Ifetzel appointed a sur
vey committee to make a study of the entire set-up of
the College, to make recommendations for eliminating
al! unnecessary features in the present arrangement,
and to determine means for effecting stringent econ
omies. The sagacity of this and, of course, its'continu
ance may well be appreciated now. Not only is the Col
lege keeping pace with the trend for elimination of all
relative non-essentials, but it is advancing by the prun
ing process. By means- of the study being made, solu
tions for problems may easily be found in the future, and
at the same time the faculty and students are having an
opportunity to analyze and to know the features of the
College in all their complicated aspects.
Considering the work of the survey committee from
another angle, other benefits may he noted. Deadwood
that once impeded the i .cfficienqy..and progress of the
College is being eliminated:' *• A definite'set of objec
tives to outline the policies,of Penn State is.tieirig form
ulated. : Every available means for increasing effici
ency in pedagogical methods..is being studied. Along
this line realignments of curricula and (courses; liave’al
retuly been effected.
.Recognition of the importance of student opinion
in aiding the study is another wise move on the part of
the administration. With the student-committee's find-...
ings and recommendations included in the final report,
which will bo made to President Hetzel on March 1, an
unbiased and clear student picture will be made for the
administration. Without doubt, the study, as a whole,
will be of very great value in shaping the progress of
Penn State with the return to economic prosperity. For
tified with a sound educational foundation that will re
sult from changes made upon the committee’s recom
mendations, the administration will be in a safe position
to go on with its plans for the betterment of Penn State.

Professors have their trials and tribulations it

• “Little drops of water and little

Div George A. Buttrick, pastor of the
Madison Avenue Presbyterian church,
of New York, in addressing the regu

“It is because men must enter into

the -“The world

through. true' light' we find God,' we
may truly say that the world is really
packed with God,” he added.
Dr. Buttrick concluded the talk by
drawing an analogy between the var
ious types of people found on a rail
road day coach and the conflicting
emotions always at war in.men’s souls.
The true light in the soul must burn
very brightly to show against the,
background of continuous stress and
strain there, he pointed out.
