A MORE than ordinary number of typo
graphical errors made our last issue
somewhat unpresentable, this was owing to
the fact that, because of the circumstances of
publication,we did not have an opportunity to
proof-read all of it.
EVERY week many of our students go to
Bellcfontc and buy from the stores
there. To such we wish to say: patronise
those who advertise in the Frisk Lanck. They
are the men who arc friends of the students
here. They will cheer for us abroad. Many
of these parties have exemplified their kindly

disposition toward us in other ways than by
their patronage of the Frisk Lanck, and, pa
tronizing it, they arc the men who make it
possible to sustain the paper. Beside this,
many of those whose advertisements do not
appear in this paper have been asked for the
favor of their patronage, and they have refused,
either expressing ill will toward us, or intimat
ing that they did not think it necessary to
extend any such favor in order to insure the
trade of the students in their behalf. Such an
intimation implies that the students here are
not united in their appreciation of a paper pub
lished in their midst by themselves. We be
lieve they have a sufficient spirit of loyalty
enlisted in behalf of the Frkh Lanck to patron
ize her friends, and we suggest to all that before
visiting the merchants of Bellcfontc again they
look over the list of the advertisers in this paper.
They arc reliable parties; they are your friends,
while most of the others are not and do not
hesitate to say so.
WE sometimes arc persuaded that one end
in view at the establishment of this
journal is not reached. We refer to the fact
that comparatively few Alumni and under
graduates contribute to our columns. The
result of this is that the paper cannot be made
as interesting as it would otherwise be, and the
opportunity which it offers for Alumni to en
courage, and suggest to their Alma Mater is
lost.
It is our desire to encourage undergradu
ates in our midst to write for publication.
