THURDAY, OCT. 4, 1906 EDITORIAL To-day a large percentage of State's undergraduates are at Har- risburg to represent this institution at an important state ceremony. Pos sibly a few do not realize the impor tance of good conduct on this trip. The eyes of the people of Harris burg, the eyes of the representatives of other cities, and more particular ly, the eyes of the law makers and appropriation committees will be carefully focused upon the men who go down from our midst. We may consider it a great honor to •be thus permitted to be represented in this event, the dedication of the capitol, which will go down in the annals of the State. Captain Hay has worked hard to gain this opportunity to place the College before the people of Penn sylvania, an theft is no doubt but that the Battalion will be, as it was in Belleiorite last year, a credit and a valuable advertisement for the College. It is, however, now up to the men themselves to make or THE STATE COLLEGIAN mar this opportunity. Let us hope that they will make the best of it, and add still further to State's good The Indian game on Saturday will be one of the biggest and most im portant of the whole season. Every student, upper classman and lower classman, should go to Williamsport and cheer State's team on to vic tory. Last year the Indians defeated State; this year we have an excellent opportunity to turn the tables, but the only way to accomplish such a result is to have every man on the lines. The Indians know how to cheer. Sing and yell; will you allow State to be outdone? Those who went to the game last year know what a good time they had; those men do not intend to miss the game this year. Freshmen, this is one of the great college events which you should not miss; if you do not go you will re gret it later ! Notice Up to the present time the man agement of this paper has received too Many postals announcing an un willingness on the part of the senders to subscribe for the paper. The State Collegian is the students' paper, and should receive the sup port of every man in College. A susbcription should be looked upon as a legitimate, necessary expense of the college year, and a file of Collegians will be worth more after college days are finished than at present. The price remains at $1.25 until October 31, when all subscriptions will be collected at the regular rate of $1.50. It is manifestly impos sible for the managers to see every one before that time, but the Col legian room, 323 Main, will be open every Monday evening from 7.00 to 9.00, where someone will be on hand to receive payments. If it is inconvenient to go out at this time send your check by mail .and a re ceipt will be sent you.

Dunn, 'OB, and F. B. Scott bought out W. H. Housel, who has been caterer since the building was completed, and assumed active management immediately. The tables are now being run on the most up-to-date plan, and the new managers are providing a very satisfactory service for their patrons. The present price has been placed at three dollars a week, and reports from men who are boarding there indicate that the charge is very reasonable. Should an increase in the number of boarders take place, a correspond ing decrease in price has been prom ised, or at least a better table. Committee Committee
