Hetzel Denies Aspirations
To Gubernatorial Position
`Completely Devoted to the Promotion of the
Interests of the College'—President
' A definite denial concerning his possible candidacy in the Pennsylvania
gubernatorial race this spring was made by President Ralph D. Hetzel, Sat
urday, after. State papers had carried a story to that effect.
"I do not feel that the circumstances justify serious comment," Dr. Het
zel stated. "However, I have no hesitation in saying that I ant completely
devoted to my profession and to the promotion of the interests of this great ,
public institution. This very definite
ly precludes any active participation
in politics,"
.Discussed in Column
Mentioned as a possible 'dark
horse" candidate for Governor in the
coming election, Dr. Hetzel's nomi
nation was discussed in the column
"Men and Things" of the Philadel
phia Evening Itidletin in an edition
last week. The columnist said:
"Another name that has been heard
occasionally this winter, although
without serious contemplation of prob
ability,. has been that of President
Ralph D. Hotzel, of Pennsylvania
State College, who has been an active
factor in various interests of the Com
monwealth outside of the wide-spread
ing -activities of •that institution, who
has earned a record for efficient ad
ministration, and who is, in things
political., of what may. be termed the
safely progressive type. Eligibility
for the gubernatorial office in Penn
sylvania requires residence in the;
State for seven years prior .to elec-1
tion; and the State College president;
entered on the duties of that office inl
January, 1927, so that he would qual-I
ity on that score. 1
"Dr. Hetzel is not politically , inclin-'
cd, and. in no sense a candidate. He
would be distinctly of the "dark
horse" type. There might be some
question raised as to the introdued
tion of the "Brain Trust" into the'
government . of the Commonwealth, but'
the suggestion of his name has been;
in a Way Significant of a desire to get s
as far away from politics as' is pos-1
sible, and there are the presidents ofl
the. rest of the plany of Pennsylvan-i
nollege:fthat:
from the same point of view." '

Bayard '34 Gathers 500 Traditional
Folk Songs in Pennsylvania Rambles
A poor tenant farmer in southwest
ern Pennsylt'ania was surprised, one
summer day five' years ago, when a
slightly built young man who had
stopped to ask the time of day, be
gan inquiring into his knowledge of
old songs. He was only one of a
number of aged farmers who bad been
surprised by the same fellow.
The inquirer was Samuel P. Bay
ard '34, who, on trips during - the va
cation months, has collected more than
five-hundred unpublished folk tun
es, in over a thousand varied forms.
It's his hobby, which started over
ten years ago, although his first ac
tual trip in search of them was in
1928.
Bayard explained that in the sec
tion where he did his collecting, which
encompasses Greene county and a
few surrounding towns, the only peo
ple who remember such old songs as
the one published in the last issue of
the Old Main Bell, are impoverished
farmers, men and women who have
very little else in .life by way of en
tertainment. Nearly all those who
remember the old songs are poor,
many illiterate, with their entertain
ment depending entirely on their mem
ories. , •
"You very rarely hear one version
of the same song twice. Every sing
er has his version, and every' other
one is wrong. They've been handed
down front father to son for so long
that variations in the same song may
to found. Only a few songs have clef-

member them as songs telling a cer

"In general, the people call the old
songs 'Love Songs; or merely 'Old
Songs'!. Few of them distinguish
them by the common title ballad,
which, we give them.. I've heard• us
many 'as sixty or • serenty from the
same person, although the average
old man or woman never knows near
ly as many as that," the collector con

tain people who are treasure houses,
to whom I return time and time again
for new ones which they've remem
bered."
, Bayard accounts for the passing
of this particular type of sung be
cause of the introduction of radios,
good roads, and automobiles, all of
which cut into the pleasant evening
the older people used to spend sing
ingthem. "The town's pleasures have
invaded the country, and have driv
en out most of the naive pastimes of
the more simple villagers,' Bayard
pointed out, in explanation.
"I just talk to the people," Bayard
explained, when asked just how he
got the old people to tell him the songs
they knew. "Mentioning a few that
they are sure to know always leads
the discussion into several that I
haven't beard. Nowadays, many of
them write me, telling of new ones
which they have heard, but the great
majority of my finds come about
quite accidentally." . .
