AN ASPIRIN TABLET
EVERY YEAR ABOUT this time, the College is
sues an official list of students who have been dropped
because of poor scholarship. This year, the College
dropped 114 students, with 32 gaining reinstatement.
The.other 82 are out definitely.
They are out not only from Penn State but from
every college in the land, because the delay in official
notification has been such as to prevent these students
from matriculating at another college in order to con
tinue their work.
Of course, many of the students were notified long
before the official list was made public. The fact re
mains, however, that they were not notified in time to
register for the second semester at some other college.
In other words,- they have lost a full semester of work.
It may be said that the College refunds the student’s
entire registration fee. Yes. But,it does not pay the
student's added hill for hoard. It does not. pay his
added bill for rent. It does not pay his added bill for
books which cannot he resold tit their original cost.
Updor the existing setup it. is practically impossible
to eliminate the evils.
Yet with a proper systematized procedure it seems
the College could alleviate these difficulties, —and more.
A full-week holiday between semesters has done the
trick ut many of the eastern colleges. Why not here?
A full-week respite between semesters would provide
additional time for compilation and registration of
grades.
11 would give the student who fails plenty, of Lime
lo register at another college in order to continue his
It would eliminate for him unnecessary expendi
tures for hoard, rent, books.
It would diminish greatly the increasing number of
“drop-adds” and the consequent burden of shifting
elapse? and juggling schedules because a sthdent has
flunked a .prerequisite to some erturse.
And, most of all, it would give to all students a
kreulliing spall between a gruelling final-exam week
and the start of the next semester.
All in-all, it should prove to be an aspirin tablet for
a 1 headache that is felt alike by students, faculty, and
adminislration.—.J. A. T.
THE NEW COMT* LIST
AFTER NEARLY A YEAR of experimentation
with a drasliral'y cut comp list, Student Board has re
stored some of the names that were eliminated last
spring. Most notable addition is that of captains ami
managers for all dances. This year they have been
favored only a£ Senior Ball.
The Board made a long and careful' study before
altering the list again. Under last year’s drastic cut,
two distinctly opposite dances were held. One lost the
most money in College dance history and the other
made the most. One could assume without any par
ticular imagination that the comp list had nothing to
do with either Soph Hop or Senior Ball that was at
tended by all the comp holders.
The almighty spiritual attitude in which last year’s
list was cut seems to have accomplished nothing save
a. feeling on the part of the captains and managers
that they were bigger suckers than anyone had im-~
ugined previously. It was further brought out that
nobody loses anything through the awarding of u com
plimentary ticket. Uupcc dates and dance bands con
tinue to be the criteria by which a dance success can
lie measured.
There is but one objectionable feature to the new
list—the raising of the dance committees from seven
lo nine persons. This is one phase of the list that is
purely political. There is no need for a large dance
■rommiUee save for patronage.
When the dance committees are cut down and the
rest of the list remains stationary, a more ideal comp
list will be attained. Last year’s probable lofty inten
tions have done nothing but take ( something from stu
dents who do a prcUy fair unpaid job for the student
body.
