And so it is But freshmen, as well as many upperclassmen, too often become blinded by the brilliance of collegiate atmosphere and forget the purpose for which they supposedly came to college. The advice given by a prominent university president to a freshman class some years ago is still pertinent today "Gentlemen, - the freshmen: You have just conic from being rather large frogs in a very small puddle You are now very small frogs in a rather large puddle. Gentlemen, the freshmen, do not try to fill it—or you will burst!" To the freshman ; four years of college look like a long time. Out they pass quickly and collegiate glory is, at best, brief. College is a small puddle, too, compared to the world outside. The important thing is to prepare for the larger sphere instead of devoting all energies to the four-year puddle. If this can be done best by participating in social and extra-curricular life mare than in curricular work, then that course ohOuld be taken. It is often the easier of the two and brings. quicker 'glory Each freshman will .have to Make the decision; ono of the many decisions that face him during his first year here. Fraternity pressure . and the pressure of friends .may demand some form of extra-curricular of social participation. Reflection and good judgment will advise a better balance than many students adopt. THE FIRST CONTRIBUTION to this year's badly depleted Student Loan fund will be made Saturday night when "Up Pops the Devil" is presented in the Schwab auditorium. With a substantial portion of the profits going to the Loan fund, the presentation should receive whole-hearted student support. As entertainers at a Hudson river resort this summer, the Players received warm praise from nearby newspapers, and the manner in which they presented the play to be repeated here Saturday' night was: particularly commended. Frater- nity men with rushees on their hands ought to•find this an easy method of entertainment and one which benefits n worthy project as well. • .ONE INSTANCE OF how the N! R. A. is affecting recent Penn State graduates is the information that all those who received degrees last :Tune in petroleum engineering now have positions. It is reasonable to suppose that the same good fortune has come to grad- uates in other fields as a result of the spreading of work program. These are encouraging signs to college trained:l:nen and woman. who, in the last three years have had : little to chew on but their sheepskins. WITH THE SUDDEN DEATH of Prof. Arthur S Jones late last month,. Penn State lost another fine teacher. As an authority in descriptive geometry ; Pro fessor Jones ...won the admiration and respect of his students. Unlike some teachers, he took a personal interest in each ono of his students, mixing freely with them in the classroom and helping them with their in dividual problems. More teachers like him would un questionably improve the quality of Penn State's in struction. LBEGINNING WITH THE issue of September 28 an eight-page.xotogravure section of pictures and news from colleges all over the country will appear with every Thursday evening issue of the Couzpikx. From time to time views : of the Penn . State campus and news items of local interest will be published in the sup plement. • This weekly feature will be distributed - to all subscribers at no extra charge. Dawn rises in a gray mist. Red and gold leaves are slowly drifting to the ground. In alarm, the sparrows and the starlings are flocking together to make the long trip southward. The harvest moon— oh well, what we really want to say is that this is September and the usual crop of very green fresh men are around. One of the better stories about the Green In vasion concerns the yearling plutocrat who disrupted the entire routine of the Old Main Sandwich Shop the other day. Waitresses gaped, the cooks burned the toast, the stewardess forgot to order paprika, and the cashier short-changed customers. And all be cause of this one lowly fresh who left a fifty-cent tip. Rushing Note— Good old rushing starts tomorrow afternoon. There'll be handshaking and bull-throwing and much gnashing of teeth. "Oh, so you're from Podunk. Well, I - used to have a great aunt that lived about a hundred miles from there." •pause. No response from freshman. The pause continues. Then, "What course are you taking? Oh, chemical engineering; oh yes. Well, we used to have a boy in the house that took chemical engineering. He switched to Commerce and Finance last year, but he'd probably be able to help you out with your courses." This goes on and on. The monotony is relieved at times by long __Telephone 500 However, this department has its own ideas on rushing. Before dinner we'd have a little game of bean-bag with the most likely-looking freshman just to work up an appetite. Then after dinner there would be Pig in the Parlor, Upset the Peach Basket, and Heavy, Heavy 'Mat Hangs Over? As a special event perhaps one of the smoother brothers could make a special deal with the Thetas for a swift game of Post Office. After that, there wouldn't be enough buttons to go around. Wrong Nunlber— . Things were pretty dead last week when the Nit tany Lion grid candidates got back in town for early practice. The boys had to find some diversion. They found it—much to the ultimate unhappiness of Mr. Kick Dennard! Mr. Dennard, a member of the State College Hotel, Inc., was doing a little clerking at his 'hotel desk when he heard a ring that sounded much like a telephone bell. It would buzz sharply and then stop. Then it would ring again. Finally ; Mr. Den nard decided to investigate. From room to room he scurried, seeking to find the elusive telephone call. It always seemed:tir be just - a toom , 'ahead bf him. The good gentleman had listened in on every phone in the hotel before becoming suspicious. Then, flus tered and all out of breath, he looked out the window. And there were Dave Long and Rosy Rosenberg, as innocent as the day they were born, fixing one of those clocks that have a "wake-up-early-in-the-morning at tachment" And was that a Kick in the pants for Mr. Dennard.

After a. 'heavy newspaper barrage of N. R.

Like so many sheep they will cast aside newspapers and magazines and allow their opinions to shape them selves along the lines of strongly-as sertive, opinionated professors. The individual authoritative feeling, may perhaps be turned into collective con firmation of studeats in particular classes to their particular instructors. With popular opinion playing so great a part in formulating the policies of the present national adniinistration it would be . well for students to Sub stantiate More closely the ideas cul led in the classroom, with those pre.; sented by the'press.
