COMMITTEE REPORT
In order to define clearly the
hitherto unwritten and often mis
understood customs and precedents
of State College, a committee com
posed of five men from each of the
two upper classes, met at the Track
House "on Friday evening, Oct.
14th, and drew up the following
rules: This committee was in
structed merely to put down in
writing and in good form the cus
toms of the college, so that the fol
lowing rules must not be consider
ed as final, but purely as recom
mendations for the consideration of
the two upper classes. We suggest
that the Senior and Junior classes
hold meetings as soon as possible
and act on these recommendations.

GET AWAKE!
What have you done ? What are
you doing? What are you going
to do to make November 12th a day
of victory for the Blue and White ?
State Collegians, your rivals are
busy. The Dickinsonian last week
sounded their cry, ‘ ‘Everybody for
Williamsport.” Are you going to
keep on sleeping?
You have a team that can win
the game but that does not let you
off. Your presence is required
each afternoon on the side-lines
of Beaver Field. The best team in
years is getting the poorest support
at practice that any team within the
writer’s four year’s experience has
received. It is a lamentable fact
that battalion drill is responsible for
the absence of the under-classmen.
But where are the upper classmen?
The men who were appointed to
lead the cheering have had little to
do. Not a single yell has been
handed in and only two songs. It
will be almost too late to compose
these on the morning of the game.
It is doubtful if they could be print
ed in time to be taken out to the
field. See that they are written at
least one day before the great day.
Get a committee appointed at
once to make arrangements with
the authorities and for transporta
tion. There will be several class
banquets on Friday night, Nov.
nth. These will take a large
crowd down but the bulk of the
students will go on Saturday. It
is taken for granted that all will go.
Remember!
weeks!
Only three
CHANGE OF DATE.
Owing to unforseen circum
stances it has been found necessary
to change the date of the Jacob A.
Riis lecture from Friday, Nov. 4th,
to Thursday, Nov. 3rd. It is hop
ed that this will be found even a
better date than the one first adver
tised. The lecture will certainly be
a treat, and everyone should avail
himself of the opportunity to hear
the man who has done so much for
the poor of Greater New York.
