Fifty per cant of the senior class wants Henry
Vtimittti Poor placed on the College faculty hntiii
he can complete his Old Main Mural..
Senior Itors!
Someone is sure to point out after reading this
editorial that the Collegian editor himself was in
charge of the meeting at which senior hondr men
were selected. . His only reply is a prayer of
thanks that he was not also in charge of the meet
ing at which the first crop of senior honor women
were selected.
That dbesn’t alter the fact that the method, of
selecting honor students is unsatisfactory; outmod
ed; and downright silly.
imagine if you can, 22 men representing the
whole senior class! Of 35 women, including prin
cipally some partisan sorority groups, represent
ing all the senior women!
Both meetings were well enough publicized to
have had better attendance. But there was no
interest When some 60 seniors turned out for the
selection of honor men last year it was Only be
cause one enterprising fellow had lined up the
votes of several fraternities to select him for hon
ors,
What to do? Abandon the selection? Hardly,
when there are few enough Penn State traditions
worthy of the name. Create more interest? - Col- ’
it.egian thinks so.
Let the students discover what honor- men re
present—most popular, outstanding athlete, lead
ership in activities, etc. Few enough know this
S'ear.
Let this year’s selections stand—the All-Colltege
president, Tribunal chairman, senior, president*
and an All-American football player are deserving
enough. Even the Collegian editor may be de
serving enough. Even the Collegian editor may
s>e deserving. The quarrel is with the method and
hot the persons.
Next year's senior class president would do well
to start with a nominating committee to choose
Ihe outstanding candidates, to publicize their
hames, and finally to climax the publicity with a
class meeting and election. Perhaps, and Only
perhaps, the system will work, the whole class will
jib interested, and the honors will mean something.
Perhaps, too, the women could try the same sys
tem None could be worse than this year's.
Boxing Heyday
Because it’s late is hardly reason not to congrat
ulate Professor Leo Houck, Manager Jack Heck,
the Athletic Association, and the Penn State box
ers, particularly Mr. Paul Scally, on the way the
seventh annual NCAA boxing toumahient was
bandied last weekend.
From the spectator standpoint, the show was a
success. From the standpoint of management it
was equally good—things running with surprising
smoothness, and leaving a good taste in every
body’s mouth,
Even the fans are to be congratulated (which is
jure) on their conduct in applauding decisions
against Penn State as well, as those for it,

Here’s Smoke In Their Eyes l
The recent Allencrest conflagration and the
splendid performance of local blaze-blasters stirs
us to comment upon the long-and distinguished
history of the borough fii-e-fighting Corps. We are
reminded of their ancient and time-honored slo
gan:
ALPHA FIRE COMPANY—NEVER LOST A
FOUNDATION.
How Obvious
We understand that after considering at some
length the contents of a questionnaire filled out by
Miss Audrey Sclioemmel, members of the Soc 4
staff have decided that’she would make an ideal
mate.
Damp Reception
This weeks faux pas contest is won hands down
by the merry gals of alphachio, who recently en
tertained their national secretary. Naturally they
went td great ends to please the visiting dignitary,
and said dignitary was very well impressed until
bedtime.
Amazing how these rooms in the Women’s
Building can suddenly spring a leak in the ceiling!
Sack In Town Department
Jack Brand, from a little two-weeks jaunt to
Fia. to smooth up the old golf stroke, bringing;
with him a slightly baked nose’. Interestingly
enough; Joyce Goodale received an epistle per day
while Jack was aWay.
Judy Cutshall, for practice teaching. She was
so overcome by emotion on returning to dear old
Stes Collich that she stooped and bestowed a ten
der kiss upon a Comer Room booth. (What is this
strange pdwer possessed by Aikens, Kinnard, and
Mateer timber?)
Biil Stoihdrier —for last weekend—to tell Less
Lewis that he is making 45 bucks a week . . . and
is engaged to an art teacher from Smith.
