THURSDAY, MAR. 14, 1912 Loyal Alumni Within the last Eager for few weeks letters News. from alumni in the western part of Pennsylvania have been sent to the editors of Pittsburgh papers re questing that Penn State be given a "square deal". The accounts of wrestling meets, basketball games, and various other Penn State act ivities, having been sent in by local reporters, are ignored by the sport ing editors. The question why credit is not given us is answered by the alumni simply because of the fact that not enough active in terest is shown by the readers. And yet there are between four and five hundred alumni in Western Pennsylvania. Is it not' time'That every friend and alumnus of Penn State, together with those in charge of such affairs at the college, get busy, individually and collectively, and let the Pittsburgh editors know that our college is entitled to. a "square deal"? Better Lights Numerous com in Library. plaints have been heard from time to time in regard to the lighting sys tem of the Carnegie Library, es pecially in the alcoves and side reference rooms. In these rooms the light is entirely inadequate for work at night, and much in- convenience is caused men who have reference work : to do in the the library. In many courses in college a great deal of outside read- ing and report writing is necessary, and it is only , fair to the men doing such work that they be able to use the library at the times most con venient for them. If work is done at night, there should be no hind rance because of the lack of pro per light; and it seems just, there fore, that steps be taken to provide better lighting facilities in the alcoves and reference rooms. Y. M. C. A. Notes. Jacob Kiis will give an illustrated free lecture on Saturday night in the Auditorium at eight o'clock. Mr. Kiis will also be the Chapel speaker on Sunday morning. The Student’s Summer Con ference will be held at Eagles Mere this year instead of I’ocono Pines. The dates are June fourteenth to twenty-third. Great credit is due the Christian Association for bringing to us such Hampton Day was celebrated at at Yale University last Thursday. Woollosly, their largest Auditorum, capable of seating 3300 people was crowded, with five hundred stand ing through the entire services of an hour and three-quarters, Major Moton, Booker T- Washington, and the Hampton Quartette were present. The fellows gave a sub stantial collection for the work at Hampton. The Freshman Bible Class from now on will be held at ten o’clock and continue until 10.45, giving the men an intermission of fifteen min utes, between the Freshman Bible Class and the regular chapel serv ice. The Mandolin Club will play several selections before the biog rapher of Theodore Roosevelt, Jacob Riis, delivers his illustrated free lecture, on Saturday night, Interclass Basketball" The season of interclass basket ball is nearly over and the present standing of the teams finds the sophomores heading the league with the juniors second, the seniors third, and the freshmen fourth. A summary follows. Won Lost Pet. 1914 5 2 .714 .1913 5 3 .625 1912 • 4 3 .571 T 915 1 7 ' .125 Three more games remain to be played; the seniors and sophomores each have two, the juniors and freshmen one game apiece. Unless the sophomores succeed in defeat ing both the junior and senior teams, in all probabilities, there will be a tie for first place between eith er the seniors and sophomores or juniors and sophomores, providing the 1912 men win their two remain ing games and 1913 wins its only one still to be played. The games between the sopho mores and seniors and sophomore and juniors have always been of the most exciting kind and were won by a very few points, it being necessary in several games to play extra periods to decide to whom victory belonged. The three re maining games are bound to be very interesting and thrilling, for the sophomores must battle with two teams of equal chances to tie with them for the championship. The teams have worked very hard to reach this critical point. Show your spirit by attending these games. See the "Thespians" one week from tomorrow night. Baseball Season. Baseball season is now less than throe week away. The Blue and White team will play the first game with the University of South Caro lina at Columbia, S, C., April 3. Coach Walter Manning, formerly with the New York Americans, took active charge of baseball affairs last Saturday, At different hours of the day the pitchers and pros pective members of the team are given a work out. Until the team can get outside, practices are held in the Armory. H. H. liaverstick Penn State, 'O7, varsity pitcher for four years, will also aid in develop ing battery materia! during the next two weeks. Better than ever before, "Thes pians.".
