HIS JUST DESSERT
Miring the history of this College, numerous awards have
beed presented by many diffm - ent organizations and by the Col
lege4self to `deserving students', to deserving athletes, to de
serying alumni, to FleServing faeultymen.
, . , .
aWaCclu!wheiiit'ireSents: its: own trophy;:eth-
lilernatiOof 166 rnOst. Outstanding senior of his class:
However, the Collegian award is not just another : aw. o
Itis' not solely an athletic award. It is not solely a scholarship
*lard. NOriait based upon the nu'm'ber of campus honors the
student may have received.
. _ . . . .
On the 'Contrary,_the Collegian award is a sincere and an
honest, attempt to honor the one man who, during his entire col
legiate career,'has•done'most to augment , the honor, the glory,
and the prestige of the College,' and who possesses those quali
ties which will enable himi to continue doing so aftei he has left.
Nor& befdre in the history .of this institution has such a
task been undertaken.
, Now you may rightfully ask ,hoW can the Collegian do this,
and do it in such a way as to satisfy everyone? How can it hope
to keeP personal prejudiees :and politics from entering into the
selection of
.the most outstanding senior?
The fact it cannot.• To do so is huthanlY imposSible.
..13111; because of
. the unique Position - it holds, the Collegian
can eliminate personal' prejudices and it can eliminate politics
to a,greater extent than any other body on the campus. Fo• in
See al4w "Butivecit the Lions," peon 3
its•nosition, the Collegian can feel out not only student opinion
but .faculty opinion and administration opinion as well. Thus,
the'Collegian can formulate a more mialitied "opinion. •
pirectly, no one beside Vhe Collegian managing board par
ticipates in the selection. Indirectly, hoWever, everyone shares
in it: •
It ikon the basis of these facts that the Collegian liar made
it its responSfbility—its duty—to honor each year the most out
standing member of the graduating clasS.
The Collegian could go on exeolimg the virtues of Sol Mic
hell. It could publish reams of copy of his exploits and his ac
tions on the:skeer field, on the basketball Court, on the baseball
field; in, the classrooms, on the campus. It could point out again
his unwavering sportsmanship, his utmost sincerity and mod
esty, his gentlemanlycharacter, his true personification of the
Penn State spirit. But to do so:would only be repeating what
everyone knows to he fact.: . • •,
Two sentences by Basketball Coach John D. Lawther. hoiv•-•
:ever, can serve to summarize the whole Case for the reeiMent
.of the Collegian's
‘ first award: "He conceals a world of ability
and an iiidemitable spirit in a body trained to such fineness of
coordination and grace of movement as to be completely decep
tive in its functional effectiveness. And lie is the type of hey
that parents hope to have in charge of their own Children when
:they send them to school or camp." , •
Furthermore, whatever you may say to him or whatever
;you may say' about him, sot Miehoff wears the same-sized smile
and the same-sized hat. •
Thtis, it is with the utmost pleasure that the Collegian
.. takes this opportunity to honor and to congratulate the most
'outstanding senior of 1937-38: Sol B. Miehoff.

Mural Project

"Almost A Ilandfal,"paye,
a slim vote of 39 to 28, graduat
ing seniors Wednesday night decided
to present as their class gift to the
College the nine-unit multiple obser
vatory proposed by Dr. Henry L.
Yeagley of the dePartthent of phys
ics in preference to murals for the
main stairway, and second floor bal
cony of Old Main.
The obsersatory will be situated
west of the Lakes-to-Sea • Highway
and across from the Nittany Lion
hm. Construction ,is expected to be
gin immediately, inasmuch as it has
already been approved officially by the
Board of Trustees..
'32 Still Deadlocked
, Meanwhile, the gift committee of
the class of '32, which has yet •to
lest its gift, remained deadlocked on
the same two issues, but indications
were that the approximately $6,500
in its Memorial fund would be allo
cated toward the launching of .the
murals project, which is expected ul
timately to cost from $lO,OOO to $25,-
000..
Discussion centered about the ob
servatory and the morals throughout
the senior class meeting.
Mallory Presents Facts
After John C. Mallory '3B, co
chairman of the gift committee, had
presented the .salient facts 'concerning
thoth proposals, Howard S. Penny.'
packer 'BB opened the case for murals
by reading two letters endorsing the
plan to have henry Varnum. Poor do
the painting, one from Lewis Mum
lord, noted art. Critic, and the other
front , Edward Alden Jewell, New
York Times art editor. .
Refuting point-by-poiut the claims
made by the observatory proponents
in printed circulars distributed at the
meeting, Clifton E. Rodgers '3B main
tained that murals also have been ap
proved by the Trustees and that both
President Ralph D. Hetzel and Trus
tee Vance C.AncCormick, Harrisburg,
were in favor of murals.
Not only would the murals add to
the cultural value here, Rodgers said,
but they would he "more permanent
and lasting" than the observatory.
Furthermore, he said, opportunity for
murals was dependent solely upon the
class-gift Money, while the observa
tory would be had, "sooner or later,"

Social Problem
In Borough
Probably lime biggeh social problem
j being caused in State College by
building operations, according to Bur
gess Wilbur F. Leltzell, is the illlllli
i gration of unemployed men who come
here hoping for work.
These men, sometimes as many as
:10 in one day, conic from distant
'towns and cities, often outside time
state. (Borough authorities usually
attempt, to feed those who are desti
tute and send them out of town as
soon as possible. Others leave of
their own accord when they are re
fused work.
A few are vagrants, who, failing
to secure jobs on the new buildings,
must; be taken into custody by bor.
ough officials for panhandling, drunk
enness, or moral degeneracy.
The number in this last group,
however, is in the minority. To date,
there have only been a few arrests
of itinerant workers on such charges.
Traffic conditions, especially on
Route 322, constitute another problem
of the building program. Trucks
erossing,the highway at Center Drive
arc in danger of accidents with cars
travelling south on Route 322.
Burgess Leitzell states that when
truck stops on Center Drive for
through traffic on Route 322, it is al
most impossible for the truck to cross
'the road before a speeding automo
bile on Route 322 reaches that point.
Plans are in progress, Leitzell
says, to place a warning sign at the
top or the hill on Route 322 north of
the truck crossing to warn speeding
motorists on this highway. Any other
regulations by the borough will be
made only upon recommendation by
College authorities.
