ENN STATE VOLUME 9 NUMBER 15 THE SERVICE CAMPAIGN Y. M. C. A. Will Hold Series of Meetings February 4-9. Promi nent Speakers to Take Part. "Service" is the keynote of the campaign to be held here at State during the first week of the second semester, Feb. 4-9. Experts on cliffelent lines of Christian and social service will be here to discuss ways and means by which college men in cities, towns, mining and construction camps and country communities can help in this pro- cess of building a better civilization The true valuation of any man's life will be based on the extent to which he has served humanity. Psychologists tell us also that a man's habits arc pretty well set by the time he leaves college. If these things are true, it. makes some dif teience as to what attitude a man takes to these questions on leaving college. There is something for every man to do. This campaign will af ford a rare opportunity to heat the whole field presented, and for each than to discover where his contribd tion can be made. The principles which shuukl guide a man in choos ing his life work will also be dis cussed, and the claims of some of the different fields of service pre sented. The following are some of the leaders Graham Taylor, the well known thicdgo'seitlement workerand - cid: Zen, who was so well liked here two years ago; E. T. Colton, of New York, the associatc of John R. Mott; Peter Robeits, the man who has directed the vast work now be- ing caiiied out among immigrants in this country by the Y. M. C. A.; Henry Israel of the county work department of the International Committee of the Y. M. C. A.; Dr. Joe McCracken, the old "Penn" athlete, now located at Canton with Goff, W. C. Campbell, the county work secretary of Pennsylvania. Some other strong men represent ing varied forms of service will also be present. These men will come to work and some can stay for only a day or two. All are invited to use this op portunity to meet these men and get their opinions. Personal inter views can be arranged through J. E. Platt at the Y. M. C. A. room. Remember the dates—Feb. 4-9. Get some evidence. The Soccer Situation The fact that Penn State has been able to maintain at least a small schedule of intercollegiate games in soccer has been largely responsible for the growing interest in the sport here. It is not general ly known, however, that soccer is not self supporting, and that it has only been possible to put a team in to intercollegiate competition by the continued support of a prominent alumnus of the college. The guar antees we were able to receive from the games played last season and the present season were not suffici ently large enough to cover the ex penses of the team. Mr. J. G. White, of the class of 'B2 who is intensely interested in the develop ment of soccer as one of our sports at State College very generously contributed a check for $lOO.OO for each of the seasons Just past, mak ing the trips possible. Coming Basket Ball Gaines Captain Hartz's quintette leaves town this afternoon foi a three game western trip which includes games with Westinghouse, Pitt and Carnegie Tech. Penn State has never before scheduled any of these teams in basket ball. Immediately following the game tomorrow night with the Westinghouse Club at 501 Pennwood Avenue, Wilkinsburg, the basket ball teams, the Penn State Alumni and friends pi the college will be entertained with an informal dance and reception. The entertainment is in charge of a com mittee chosen from the Penn State Alumni connected with the West inghouse interests. The Univer sity of Pittsburgh team, which will be played Friday night at the Lees' Gymnasium, is light, one of its guards weighing but 115 pounds. The Pitt five is fast and decisively defeated Penn dining Christmas week. The Carnegie Tech team will be State's opponents on Satur day. Manager l3evan, eight players and possibly a coach will take the trip. The men most likely to make the flip are Hartz, Park, Binder, Craig, Hay, Walton, Wilson and Unger. It is expected that much interest will be taken in the Lehigh game here next Wednesday night. Penn State closed its season last year in South Bethlehem by losing to Lehigh by the close score of 35 to 33. Lehigh has made an excellent showing thus far this winter and a hard game is anticipated. Re membei the Lehigh game will be played next Wednesday night in the Armory and the admission will be only fifteen cents. The date of Carnegie Tech game, whin will al so be played in the Armory, is Jan. 25. Miss Jane Addams Miss Jane Addams, who is called "the first citizen of Chicago", will be at the college over next Sunday, Jan. 19th. Her work there as founder and head president of the Hull House, along wiih her books have won hei recognition as an authority wherever settlement work is discussed the world over. In the Progressive political movements of the country, her influence has also been felt and is today being ex tended by her articles in several of the magazines. She will have a message for State College. On Saturday evening she will lecture under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., and on Sunday she will speak at chapel and at the Y. M. C. A. meeting. Miss Addams will take the place of The Gales, on the regular enter tainment course in the Auditorium, Saturday evening.

Sporting Editor of the Pittsburgh Gazette Times, remarked at the c'ose of the game that Penn State's team was fast and played clean bill. Had dow officiated the game in a capa ble manner and to the satisfaction of all. 'The floor proved a little slippery for both teams, but especi ally so for the visiting team which had heretofore played most of its games on rougher floors.' Captain Hartz's excellent all-around playing, Park's work under the basket, Bind er's floor work, Unger's work during the few minutes he played, Kum mer's foul shooting for the visitors, and the aggressiveness of Captain Campbell for the Collegians, featur ed the opening basket ball game in State College.

Dr. Holmes Will Lecture On Friday evening January 17th in the Auditorium at 8 o'clock, Dr• Holmes will deliver a lecture on "How Character is Bred." In his dissertation Dean Holmes will to a large extent dwell upon the new and fascinating subject of eugenics. Eugenics has been defined as the art of choosing a life partner. In his discussion he will touch upon the real significance of this broad and vital subject, and he will ex plain what the term really signifies. Dr. Holmes will include in his lecture the history and the study of character, quoting both Emerson and Browning. He will give a sociological definition of character, and he will illustrate the value of character as regards the earning power of an individual. The law of similarity working through hered ity will be illustrated by means of feeble-mindedness, and moral im becility. The brighter side of the same law will he centered in a con sideration of . the Kallickak family and the posterity of Jonathan Edwards. Modern eugenics was conceived in 1904 by Sir Edward Galton. In 1912 an International Conference met in London, composed of world famous physicians and scientists interested in the new theoretical science of eugenics. It is safe to Fay that eugenics is in the air. One may hear the word whispered nearly everywhere, but usually not very decisive discus sion follows because the human intellect has not been enlightened enough concerning it Now is your opportunity, come and hear one who knows. .

PRICE FIVE CENTS A TRIP TO THE COAST Musical Clubs' Trip to be Taken at Easter Time. Will be a Big Advertisement for Penn State It is now an assured fact that the Penn State glee club is to have the opportunity of the most extensive trip even undertaken by a college organization. It is due chiefly to the efforts and influence of Mr. H. G. Hollistcr 'll that the Santa Fe Railroad has offered the club a trip from Chicago to the Pacific coast and return. The trip had been planned for Christmas vacation, but the technicalities of an Inter state Commerce Commission ruling made a postponement necessary. As matters now stand, the trip will include fifteen days at Easter time, and about forty members of the glee club will leave State College for Chicago shortly before the vacation. It will be necessary to raise money to pay travelling expenses between State College and Chicago, and to this end a concert will be given here on February 14. More over about a hundred letters have been sent to promnient alumni of various parts of the country; and several other friends of the college may be expected to render some assistance. This trip will do much in brir g ing Penn State before the eyes of the public in a favorable manner. Newspapers in cities as far away as Calgary, Canada, have already com mented on the fact that our club has - been " theicirriiiiite one out of two hundred and fifty applicants for the trip.
