Tovior M 4 TUESDAY, APRIL 11, 1933 MAINTAINING CONFIDENCE A senior board that has striven to represent the in terests of the College community retires with this issue to private life and peace and quiet. A new staff will grapplo with the problems that confront the College editorial that are recurrent from year to year as well as new ones that spring up with the ever-changing conditions that come about in the de velopment of a large institution. There are those among the students and faculty who believe sincerely that a College newspaper should mirror to the last degree the actions and thoughts of the student body. To them the mistakes, the conclusions drawn on surface indications and often at an emotional height that possess this group should be presented. Others maintain that the policy of an undergraduate publication should be that of weighing situations in the light of all the facts and taking a stand on that basis. They believe that the newspaper should present a more seasoned opinion because in many instances hasty opinions can lead to much material harm to the entire organization which after all is the interest of the student body. The number of those people throughout the State who seize upon the slightest indiscretion of the sudent body to harm the College is probably small but their minority, because of its interests, is powerful* The future of the College is related closely to the legislature and to the people of the State. If, because facts are not properly weighed, the most intelligent opinion is not presented, the extent of cooperation is materially affected. To run a tabloid, or appreciable leanings toward such journalistic standards, may make a more interesting paper because people feed unfortunately on the queerest things. The numbers of rumors that sweep the student body and are even given credence by the faculty on oc casion, present unlimited opportunity for startling revelations. The duty of an editorial board, if it is to perform its proper service on a campus, is to investigate the more likely appearing rumors and to dig into the facts, that surround them. Mere idle statements, ex pressed in the spirit of being in on the know, are wrecked on the rocks of deeper thought and sanity aided by the additional light that can be secured from investigation. It must always be the policy of any newspaper to print and to campaign actively against evils that are apparent and proved. Especially true is this if nothing can be done through other channels. But the one word “proof” must always be the guiding factor in this editorial policy. It is necessary for any organization to instill in its followers confidence and' a publication, can best secure this by being reliable in its conclusions as well as its facts. To be continually swayed by conflicting and rash opinions from every side is to follow a policy that leads to chaos. Facts after all are the concern of a news paper. Conclusions drawn from those presented on every possible side of a question must determine the editorial policy if a paper is to maintain the confidence of its renders and perform its proper service. CONVENTION Representatives of colleges throughout the State will meet hero following the Easter vacation in the first regional convention of its kind. Intended primarily for furthering tho cooperation between the students in the many institutions in Pennsylvania,- the problem that confronts the first meeting is that of effecting an or ganization so that similar sessions may be planned in futuro years. There are definite advantages that can result from welding the undergraduates of all the colleges more closely together. The discussion of problems many of which are common to all student units brings many new ideas to the surface. Class presidents who have repre sented the students at the national conference return with the same story of the ineffectiveness of their meet ing. The variants of the representatives make almost impossible the accomplishment of much to mutual advantage. Planning much the same program as the larger groups but on a’ smaller scale, this State gathering.re tains the advantages and eliminates most that can be said against nation-wide convention. There will be many things to interest the group—the problem of de ferred rushing, athletic policies and relations, govern ment. Something can be gained in seeing -how prob lems arc being met in other institutions, although they may not be entirely reliable for adoption on that basis Well, we’ve got it back. And are there any o£ you who have sort of a queer empty disappointed feeling about tilings? Everybody’s had their glass of beer, passed judgment, and wandered oil feeling rather depressed for the most part. But then after all it did seem sort of funny to walk boldly into the place you used to frequent for sandwiches and coffee, to find it crowded with people drinking amber-colored liquid, and smiling rather foolishly at each other the while. Maybe it was the absence of those dangerous looking green bottles we were used to, or were we all expecting clinking steins, and quartets J Maybe, too, if they’d used the big root-beer glasses it’d have, been more effective. The whole thing was too tame, that’s all, no fireworks, no action, no big greasy bar-tenders, nor saw-dusted floors; just ,no “Father, Oh father, Como Home With Me Now" atmosphere at all. Shucks!

He looked the place over rather thoroughly, inspecting the machinery, and pay ing particular attention to one of the generators. He surveyed it from nil angles, critically. You could see that ho knew a good generator when he saw one; you could even tell that he was pleased from the way that he wriggled and sniffed at it. He walked away from it and cocked his head on one side. He walked up to it again and sniffed appreciatively of the oil. Then he walked around it several times. It was un doubtedly a good generator. Tho prof, took notice; he didn’t understand the dog, that was easy to see. 'He kicked him out. ****** In Defense of Columnar Padding Nothin’s worse »N terse verse.

Again,’' which appeared in Friday’s “Colleg ian,” seems to us to be a gratuitous misrepresentation of the situation. - In the first place, according to Mr. A. 0. Morse, secretary to President Hetzel, there is as yet no definitely new and superior R. 0. T. C. arrange ment to be introduced this fall. From this, we conclude that the administra tion has encountered, serious difficul ties in working out the recommenda tion of the ‘Board of Trustees; You say that "the best arrangements have been already made to settle the prob lem.” We would be glad to know what the definite arrangements are which you claim are ready to be put into operation. In the second place, we challenge your statement that the recommenda tion itself is a “satisfactory settle ment” of the question of military training on this campus. You may be - interested to know that we already have more than a thousand student and faculty signatures to this new , petition. Is it not going too far, for „ you to imply that majority student , and faculty sentiment is exactly in . accord with the recommendation of , the Trustees? An' independent ref i erendum is the only real test. Furthermore, we arc convinced that “to scare the whole question back into the bushes where it will* be a terrible job getting it out again” would be far better than to have the Administration follow the authorized recommendation. We believe that it is infinitely more desirable than to i require a student in chemistry to take a course in poison gas warfare. We would rather .have the seeds of militarism localized than to have them penetrating all the instructional work of the College. Sincerely, George W. Goodley.’33 Roland R.
