; Penn State Historian Rolls Back
1 30 Years To Find Status of Faculty
!
"Great oaks from little acorns 1
grow” runs an old proverb. In cam
pus parlance, the venerable old axiom
i might well be re-phrased to “once a '
1 lowly freshman" when thirty years of
[history concerning present Penn State
! faculty members is rolled back,
t Witness the following: President
[Ralph D. Hatzcl was entering the Uni-
Iversity of Wisconsin as a freshman:
I Hugo Bezdek, director of the School of
Physical Education, was a freshman in
tho University of Chicago; Dr. Charles
' F.-Noll, of the department of agron
; omy, was a freshman here; and Dr.
: Ray 11. Dotterel*, of the philosophy
> department, was in his first year at
• Franklin and Marshall College.
5 Thirty years ago Dr. Joseph P.
■ Ritenour had begun his studies in the
> medical school of the University of
1 Pennsylvania; Prof. William F. Gib
i bons, of the journalism department,
- was engaged in graduate work at
• Bucknell University; Dr. Frederick W.
Owens, head of the mathematics de
partment, had just been graduated
j from the University of Kansas; Dean
Charles W. Sioddart, of the School of
Liberal Arts, had just received his
j philosophy doctorate from the Univer
. ;sity of Wisconsin; Prof. Frank D.
, Korn, of the department of bbtany,
j was a junior at the University of

University; Prof. Charles L. Kinsloo,
head of the department of electrical
engineering, was a senior here; Dr.
William S. Dye, of the department of

Watkins Advocates
Usage of Standard
English in Country
"If we are to justify our existence
as college people, we must conserve
the standard English language,” said
Prof. Ray V. Watkins, of the English
composition department, in comment
ing upon "Current English Usage,”
a publication issued by the National
Council of Teachers of English.
This book caused a flurry in edu
cational circles by maintaining that
sucli expressions as, "It it me,” “Who
are you looking for?” “Go slow,” "Try
and well,” "Pretty good,” and "Invite
whoever you wish,” are correct col
loquial English phrases. Educators,
newspaper writers, and authors were
questioned in an extensive survey.
“The book is well-established in
good colloquial usage, but literary us
age should always be superior to the
language of the man in the streets”’
Prof. Watkins emphasized. “The col
lege man must differentiate between
the two languages, and speak in' a
manner befitting his position.” «

NOMINATION CODE
CHANGE PROPOSED
Resolution Adopted by Sophomore,
Junior Women Would Alter
System Now Used
Fraternity Presidents* council has
passed a resolution to alter present
nominating methods now in effect
among women of sophomore.and jun
ior classes. Suggested revisions ac
companied the approval. ■
Similar to' the W. S. G. A. nomin
ating committee, the proposed board
would consist of five seniors of whom
three would be fraternity, and two,
non-fraternity women. Presidents of
the three -upper classes would elect
members to the board.
According to the. approved plan,
petitions nominating candidates for
office would be signed by ten petition
ers, and submitted to the nominating
board. If the new plan goes into ef
fect, open nominations by ballot would
be eliminated, / and only class mem
bers would vote at elections.
, Junior class officials suggested that
a faculty advisor be added to the
board, that the authority of the board
be made more specific, and that the
required majority of petition signers
bo increased. They also proposed that
the selection of the board be placed in
tho hands of more than three frater
nity presidents.
