Dining Room Opened,
With the opening of the spring
session, W. H. Housel threw open
the dining room of McAllister Hall
to the students. Board is furnished
at the rate of $3.25 per week in ad
vance. Meal tickets good for
twenty-one meals to be taken any
time may be procured for $6.50,
although undoubtedly the better
way is to become a regular boarder.
The dining room is large enough
to seat 840 people comfortably, so
there will be no crowding, at least
this year. Arrangements can be
made whereby fraternities or clubs
may have separate tables and ser
vice, and this privilege will probably
be secured to some extent.
Waiters from the student body will
be employed as the number of
bparders increases, and there will
probably be several openings for
STATE COLLEGE, PA., APRIL 6, 1905
industrious students next year.
Every thing about the dining
room and kitchen is arranged in con
venient and orderly fashion; and
quick service and good treatment
are assured to all.
College opened yesterday morn
ing at 11.00 with chapel exercises
in the Auditorium. A large percen
tage of the students have returned;
those who remained here during the
vacation are tired of loafing; and
every one is, of course, resolved (?)
to “brace up” for the spring work.
Notwithstanding the enervating in
fluence of the balmy days and the
twilight of the evenings it must be
evident that there is work to be
done, and the time is not far distant
when that work will count for suc
cess, in the June examinations. The
last quarter in the annual race has
been begun. Some have dropped
by the wayside; others have ob
tained their “second-wind” and are
making good. The spring term is
the most enjoyable one of the year.
Let’s “get into the game,” and
round-out a successful college year.

The newly organized Glee and
Mandolin Clubs will hold their first

ceive the support of all the students.
The clubs will perform at Johns
town on Wednesday, April 12.
Dates are also under negotiation
with Windber and Altoona.

College Opened,

Base Ball
The Varsity baseball nine left
Thursday morning on its Southern
trip, and during the week, which
State’s students spent at their homes
enjoying their spring vacation, the
White and Blue’s ball team was
down in the sunny South land doing
its level best to dig out a few vic
tories for “Old State.” This
Southern journey is the first venture
of the sort State has ever taken, al
though away back in 1894 the Var
sity nine, with “Charlie” Atherton
as captain, invaded Dixieland, and
succeeded in defeating Washington
and Lee College, 10 to 6, while they
lost to University of Virginia, 14 to
4, and Virginia Military Institute 6
to 5. This trip, however, was taken
during the month of May, and
leaves the honor of the first real
training expedition to the team of
1905 under Captain “Harmony”
Ray.
Emmitsburg, Md., March 31.
In the opening game of the sea
son here to-day Mount ’ St. Mary’s
College was defeated by Penn State
in a cleanly contested game. McGee
was on the firing line for State, and
pitched nervy, cool-headed ball from
the start, while Connolly also twirled
a steady game. In the first inning
with three on bases for St. Mary’s
and nobody out, Connolly drove a
terrific liner between right and cen
ter; Moorhead by a beautiful riqph
managed to capture the ball, and
shot it to second, from whence Cree
threw to Ray, completing a magnifi
cent triple play ! After this, Mount
St. Mary’s fought hard, but seemed
rather outclassed by the State nine.
