EDITORIAL.
We have in college a number of
organizations composed of men from
certain counties after which the
clubs are named. After making an
exhaustive search for the object of
these clubs we find that in nearly
every case the sole purpose is to
have a picture put into the La Vie.
Following suggestions given by sev
eral alumni members of the faculty
we decided to outline work which
these clubs, by the nature of their
organization, would be able to do.
To begin with, we would like to
have a thousand students at this
college next year. The most effec
tive advertising possible is that done
by the students themselves. All
that is necessary for the students to
do is to inquire at their prep schools
and convince prospective college
students of the advantages of State.
We think that through the agency
of these county clubs this kind of
advertising can be systemized and
organized into a campaign. Another
method used by some, for example
the York Club, is to have annual
banquets, usually at Christmas time,
at which prospective State men are
invited to meet-students and gradu-

State spirit. Let us get .busy, fel

Kicklets
There are nine shower baths in
the armory but the size of the supply
pipe is such that no more than three
baths can be used at the same time.
Query: What is the value of the
other six baths?
“Silence is a golden rule for a
library” is the notice that confronts
us as we enter Carnegie library.
Why should not such a statement
stand just as well for the engineering
library? The latter often reminds one
of a meeting place for a “Women’s
Rights” organization.
A directory containing the names
and room numbers of the students
in the dormitories would be a great
convenience. We think it would be
very little trouble to compile such a
one and place it in the vicinity of
the main bulletin board.
