Heartening Turnout
Large turnout of students at the senior class
meeting Tuesday night may indicate that a re
vival of student interest in class affairs is de
veloping. It might be suspected that the issue
of final examinations was responsible for the
attendance of more than 200 persons. Yet the
enthusiasm with which many joined into dis
cussion on other points should indicate that
other forces also served to swell the ranks.
Whatever the reason, it was a heartening sight.
THE MEETING ALSO WAS, for many of
those present, a new experience. It gave them
a chance to see their class officers in action
and to take - part in formulating class policy.
Certainly it stimulated interest in student gov
ernment, an interest which we hope will con
tinue to be felt throughout the year.
Most important of all, it created an atmos
phere of unity and provided experience in
the type of town-meeting government which
has been lacking largely because student
apathy has resulted in a few people's con
ducting class business. If this interest con
tinues, the classes might easily become more
useful organs to express student sentiment.
At Tuesday's meeting in White hall, a num
ber of those present were forced to stand be
cause there weren't enough seats to go around.
We hope that soon participation in class busi
ness will be so great that it will be necessary .
to hold meetings in Schwab auditoriuni.
Out Of The Clouds
Since the 'unexpected performance of the
Nittany footballers Saturday, it is not un
common to hear remarks about the team that
would have been considered out of order before
last week. •
THE AVERAGE Penn State football fan had
his head in the clouds for the first 'two weeks
of the season, but it is to be hoped that he will
not take out his chagrin on the unoffending,
Englemen. The Lions will play a lot of good
football this season, but it will not be all win
ning football, it can't be. We knew it before the
season started but became a bit over-enthusias
tic after the fine play of the first two games.
The team will win more games, but it will
lose more games, too. Let's not lessen the fine
spirit and support which has been evident these
few weeks. We owe it to a squad that is work
ing with a new coach and a new system and
we owe it to a coach working with a new team
at a new school.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
Cooler Heads
Neatly-timed eloquence Tuesday night saved
the senior class from an embarrassing position
on the subject of abolishing finals for eighth
semester seniors.
A MOTION proposed from the floor would
have put the class in a position of first -dis
approving finals and then proceeding to in
vestigate advantages and disadvantages.
Taking the hasty action proposed would only
have pointed up a weak spot in the class attitude
toward
,finals. Despite good points mentioned
in favor of the abolition and several good ones
were brought out during the'dikussion it should
be obvious that the
. faculty - and administration
may well take the view that seniors are pri
marily interested in getting out of something.
Everyone has heard members of the fac
ulty, at one time or another, express the
opinion that students are notorious for doing
as little work as possible. The class will have
a sufficiently difficult job proving its own
sincerity without prejudicing
,faculty minds
at the beginning.
To the investigating committee falls the job
of, gathering together arguments both pro and
con. It ,should look especially to procedures fol
lowed by other schools in similar situations. It
will necessitate a previous acqtiaintance with
possible objections.
IF TME COMMITTEE reports affirmatively
and the class backs it as overwhelmingly as a
straw vote indicated it would Tuesday night,
then is the time to demonstrate class support
in the strongest possible -fashion.
