CANDIDATES WANTED FOR POSITION ON NEW
“ NEWS” BOARD.
‘The Committee of the Class of 1918, which |
the News” since its first appearance, feels th
its mission, which was to establish a weekly newspaper in this col-
lege, We feel that the time has now come when the management
should he taken out of our hands and given over to a new hoard of
editors, a board which will he truly representative of the student
body.
Tt has been decided to award places on the board not through
elections by the studentbody, but in a more business-like manne
namely through appointment by the board, Any student in the
college, be he subscriber or not, can apply for a position and to all
icants will be given a fair chance to compete for the plac
they desire, “AIL applications should be made to the editor,
‘The vacant offices will in all probability be that of Editor-in-Chief,
Managing Editor, Business Manager, Associate Editors, and Re-
porters. [tis hoped that a large number of students will avail
themselves of this opportunity to try for a position as this is the first
time that ability and not popularity will count in securing an office.
SHOW MORE COURTESY AND GOOD WILL,
A frequent criticism of State College advanced by students who
come to us from other higher institutions of learning is, that there
seems to he, in general, an unnatural reserve manifested by the
faculty toward the students. Instead of an appearance of friendly
interest, there is an attitude which all too plainly speaks: “These
are the tiresome tools with which we labor.” When faculty
members and students mect in the halls or upon the street, there is,
these students declare, often no exchange of grectings at all, and a
hest, brief salutations that are decidedly lacking in cordiality.
A brief consideration of these statements is very liable to con-
vince one that they are more than half-tone, Tf, however, an in=
vestigation were made of the causes that have produced this un-
fortunate relationship, it is quite possible that it might be shown
that the students themselves have been the principal factors in bring-
ing it about. It may have had its origin in some unfortunate incident
arly in the history of the college, and since the students have never
manifested a desire to sthstitute a new order of things, it has been
perpetuated to the present day. Freshmeit have come to the college
year after year not knowing what their attitude toward the faculty
should be; ultimately they assumed the general attittde of indif-
ference and so the thing has gone on,
‘And it will continue to go on, unless the students themselves en-
deavor to alter it, Might it not he well at this time, when good reso-
lutions are much in order, to attempt to institute a change? Suppose
students go at least halfway and make it a rule to greet the faculty
whenever possible, Suppose it be recognized as a rule among the
men to lift the hat whenever the president is met upon the street.
In all real colleges there is a distinct feeling of respect and awe
manifested toward the head of the institution, Now since we have
long since been " real" in the quality of scholarship, and are becom
ing “real” in athletics, let us have a similar development in matters
of college esy and etiquette
And awhile we are speaki
out of place to enter a plea for greater cordiality among ourselves.

but it is possible to v a bit of kindly interest in each other in the
exchange of a cordial “Good Morning.” Try it! Shake off this

Tt with regret that I have noted the discontinuanee of the
Komick Kolyum of the “ College News.” ‘There were many lines
in the column that were well worth their place in our paper. [tis
well, T think, to have. something of the nature of the Komick
Kolyum,
Ido not feel that I would ask that the personal knocks and refer
ence of the type which have been used should be continued; but f
know that Bean Swift is resourceful enough in that line to give us a
column once a week with something in it that is breezy and worthy
of his effort as \ is our time,
T hope that the management will find it possible to reinstate F
Swift in his royal Sanctum Sanctorum and give us the Kollege

Yours for S.C.

We are making use of the invitation given to students to ©
press in the “ College News” their opinion concerning the pro-
posed tax.
While we are greatly in favor of this tax, we see no reason for
rbitant a fee. “his tax, as we understood, was to cover
College News," “The eho,” and the basket ball gam
played on the home court. During the present scholastic yeai
there will be played seven games on the home court, ‘The price
to colleye students for each game is twenty-five cents, except
that with Colgate, which is thirty-five cents, At this rate a total
of one dollar and eighty-five cents would be amassed.
The price of “The Echo ” is one dotlar and that of the “ College
ews” is one dollar and a half, ‘The sum of these three College
activities is four dollars and thirty-five cent
In view of the fact that many who atte
hard pressed financially, why not reduce this tax to five doll
which seems to cover the Fequired amount. ‘The total of the
three College activities mentioned above is four dolla
thirty-five cents. ‘This amount substracted from five dollars
leaves a balance of sixty-five cents from each student, If this
balance is devoted to the Coach Fund, a total of five hundred and
eighty-five dollars would be the result of the tax on nine hundred
students, If the student hody of a State institution has enough
ive to collect this sum, will not the financial executives of
that State he generous enough to supply the needed balance?
We, a Senior and a Soph, expressed our opinions con-
cerning this important phase of our College life. Won't some
fellow student tell us his view?
