THURSDAY, OCT. 25, 1906 EDITORIAL At this season of the year it be comes evident that State's stock of yells is running low. At no time has the list ever been overcrowded or so large that the addition of more yells is unnecessary or undesirable. Some of our yells stir us up and the team likewise; some become mo notonous as they are used again and again. More yells are needed. and needed immediately; long yells and *short yells. To encourage this movement the "Collegian" will pub lish all yells submitted, so that the student body may choose the best. Get busy and hand them in! The suggestion made by "A Stu dent" in another column deserves serious consideration. • The seating capacity of the grandstand on Beaver Field is not large enough to accomodate even a small portion of State's student body. At every game both sides of the gridiron are lined with men who . pannot thus do any effective cheering. A set of bleachers is the only way to mass THE STATE COLLEGIAN this straggling line so that some volume may be given to' the cheer ing. The bleachers question has been before the Athletic Association for some time, but the stand still re mains unbuilt. A year or so ago, a committee was appointed to obtain estimates, and it looked bright for the rapid consummation of the pro ject. Since that time, however, no further action has been taken and the scheme has been allowed to drop. Princeton, Yale, and the other large colleges and universities are famous for their cheering because the rooters are massed together and there is a concerted effort. There SUBSCRIPTIONS $1.25 Until October 31 $1.50 After October 31 Pay Manager at 323 Main Friday and Saturday 7 TO 8 P. M. is absolutely no reason why the same state of affairs should not prevail on Beaver Field. The finan cial condition of the Association, we believe, warrants the erection of a stand. Why then should we not have it? Another excellent idea embodied in the suggestion given is the pro posal to assemble the Freshmen on the bleachers by themselves and to have them conduct a part of the cheering, led by a man whom they may chose from their own class. If such a thing is done by the class of 1910 it will evidently strengthen the present system in a very ma terial way. Kicklets The condition of the grandstand on Beaver Field is a disgrace to State's magnificent campus. Not only is the floor strewn with rubbish but the steps are badly in need of repair. The Football Marshal or the proper party should take care that the stand is kept in first-class condition at all times. The old, old story of paths across the campus comes up once more. Two paths from the Co-op to the Main building are very apparent, and several more are fast becoming noticeable. A year or more ago we had an effective system to stop this business. Let's try it again ! The Concert The concert on Thursday evening in the Auditorium, under the direc tion of Miss Helen H. Atherton, ter minated the eleventh annual meeting of the Federation of Pennsylvania Women. The musical clubs of the College rendered all the numbers of the program with but one excep tion—the piano -duet by Misses Atherton and Grieb. This selection was given an excellent rendition, as were the remaining numbers, by the Glee Club, College Quartet and Orchestra. The Auditorium was well filled and all those present were highly pleased with the music.
