Cruel To College Heroes
Appearing in many newspapers last week was a small, insignific
ant stoiy of a former college student named Elgie \V» Tobm who was
charged with manslaughter m the hit-nnd-iun death of Isador Melon*,
53-year-old laborer.
According to the newspapers, Tobin’s auto, with the radiator badly
smashed, was found near the scene of the accident Tobin was identi
fied by one John Harclia who said he saw Tobin gel into the car ana
drive away after saying he would lepoit the accident to the Ecorse,
Mich, police
On the surface, it seemed that it
was just the story of another
former college student who had
gotten into trouble But the recoid
books tell an entirely different

Back in 1914 when the first
World War had been going on at
a terrific clip for three months,
and football here at Penn State
was overshadowing the conflict
abroad, the students were celebrat
