' , ramps Tyrner 1G Managing; Editor •This issue News Editor Thi, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 10, 1934 Sam/tits AND SCHOLARSHIP Saturday the College will pay tribute to one of the far too often neglected phases of school' by the annual Schola•sliiii`Day exercises. For a few brief moments, those who have come here for four years with their par- •i prist the Original aim of all institutions of learning— education—will. receive the recognition due them. No doubt many will stand back, and with a slight smile, glance with a feeling of pity or contempt for the few who have reached the top academically. Greasy grinds they may be called, or perhaps they will he class ed as those who simply were not smart enough to real ize that their outlook was all wrong. Far too often scholarship is looked upon as one of the minor activities. It is considered a mark of weak ness or foolishness for one to spend his time pursuing the knowledge offered through the media of classroom, textbook, and library. It would be well for the average student to stop and consider just what he has received as education thus far in his College career. llow many can say that they have realized what they though they came to College fol:; how many have truly gleaned something from the courses which they have scheduled; how many have mastered a course or how many have merely condensed enough facts on a roll of paper to enable them to scrape through to a more or less successful finish? As Scholarship Day is observed Saturday, it might ben slit everyone to take stock of his career to date. Per haps seniors who look back from the summit and telt un derclassmen that hooks, too, are important, may have a broader outlook on the subject. It might•benefit each individual to think a bit more about his objectiVe. in CM lege. STUDENTS WERE TREATED to a typical; poli tical speech Tuesday afternoon when 'General Sltdanon s=poke here. When interviewed, he could not say toii, em phatically that lie was all for Penn State. Howevet, he carefully concealed his attitude on every' question in which the campus is interested The appropriation and new_ buildings, the two things which today seem most vital, he skillfully dodged. Political science students may do well to study such splendid diplomacy. AFTER THE IMPENDING threat of an immediate war as the result of Nazi activities in Germany, it is reassuring to bear an authority such as Hans V. Kal tenborn say that war is the thought farthest removed from Hitler's mind. Ilisspeech; however, sounds a note of warning when he points out that the Nazi spirit is so compelling that implicit belief is .created. Such a spirit could he used with most disastrous results. THE COLLEGE WILL PAY tribute to two men who have done much to further the academic standing of Penn state. Their achievements in the fields of philo sophy and chemistry have been excelled by Sew. It is with a real feeling of admiration that congratulations are extended them TO ALL MOTHERS This week-end, the county honors Mother, the per son to whom we all owe so much, and ton often regard rather lightly. It would be all too'trite to go once more through all the threadworn phrases of praise which have been pounded out on countless other typewriters many, many times. But in the present environment, it is easy to for get the one person whose years of work are in all prob ability more responsible for our being here than any one else's.' It becomes extremely easy to assume the air of pseudo-sophistication that betokens the latest in clothes and a certain veneer• than can be too easily 11di. hell off with a thin application of alcohol•. It will not he•a. lavender and old rose Mother that will come to Penn State' this Week-end. Rather, it will he one who is facing one of the dramatic periods of the world when the order in which she was raised is being superseded by another. Perhaps her clothes aren't right up to the minute. It's quite possible she doesn't know all the latest books and plays, and maybe she occasionally splits an infini tive. However, she's still your Mother, and no easier regard could be paid than, with real pride, introduce her, Saturday simply, "I want 'you to meet my Mother." Churl. M. Schwurta Jr. %HI Van. O. Parlour' .:14 Languidly we . strolled past the Library, blink ing at the brilliant sun and breathing deeper than us ual, while we thought, 'This is no day for a white man to go to College.' As we came to the path that leads to the side entrance of S. L. A., seesaw an idyllic table aux that put a crease in our cowhide heart. They were both freshmen. They stood close to gether on the grass at the side of the path. His face hovered near her wind-idown bob while his hands fumbled one over the other. He hesitated bashfully before he gently slid his high school ring on her third finger. Suddenly he noticed us watching hint and he turned red and stumbled toward the first, year en trance. She stood there holding out her hand and It was about the size of those little pamphlets they shove at you as you file out of the local Picture Palace, only it bad just one large cut or a kindly look ing gent over the caption: WHO IS THIS MAN? Working on the picture theory, we decided it couldn't be Groucho Mars; there wasn't - any mustache. May be it was Boris Kaloff in a new roll. Just then we saw another phr"ase: -SEE OTHER SIDE. We thought we might as well. There we found another caption: THIS IS THE MAN. Hell we thought, we're being fooled, there's no man on this side. There was a lot of stuff in smaller type and we read some of it like "But a still greate . r' number don't know him 'as yet, have never met or seen him. • They have the eight to know the best and the worst - - - about him." We had to ailmit' this was true. For instance, did we know him? Another little blurb read, "Ile filled the Sunday Schools, not the Jolla." Evidently not a pagan we thought, trying to recall the pans of Hammaker, Seamans, etc. Another one said, "Ire saved the taxpayers money by reducing the police'force from 17 ()Mem to 2 officers." Pretty lucky, we thought; that none of those taxpayers were involved in the successful fraternity house robberies. Then there was oie reading, "Ile fought the Special Privileged Crowd in order to keep the Bor ough clean and wholesoine for the youth of the State who attend the College." Ihninno, at least he knew about the Kappas. At the bottein et the page there was sonic more large type: STATE SENATOR al EUGENE IL LEDERER. • PENN STATE PLAYERS Present "Three Cornered Moon "?

This has been proved by experiMents at Bell Telephone Laboratories. • • When it's humid, a film of moisture forms on the glass. The more humid, the thicker the film —and the more electrical current escapes! Im portant factors governing amount of leakage are the chemical nature of the glass„its shape and age, the amount and kind of dirt on its surface. Through exhaustive studies, telephone men have developed more efficient types of glass .insulators —and are seeking ways to make them still better.
