housed in a large tent and during
the fall will be seen by over 300 ;
000 people.
144 students have been admited
to the two years' course in agricul

experience on this line will be of
great value to the department.

Important Notice
Coach Martin wants all varsity
trackmen to report immediately for
fall work also all candidates for
cross country and the freshmen
who have qualified in trials. The
following schedule indicates the in
creased activity that track work is
undergoing:
October 4—Trials for varsity
October 11—Interclass meet (all
four classes to compete. Varsity
men eligible.)
October 18—Cross county trials.
October 25—Trials open to all
candidates.
With the setting in of cold
weather track work will be contin
ued in the basement of McAllister
Hall which has been fitted un for
that purpose. This work will con
tinue throughout the winter.
Continued interest in track will
be furnished by an indoor track
schedule which is now being pre
pared. Inter-fraternity and inter
class meets will also be held during
the winter months.
This fall finds the assistant man
agers confronted with the old prob
lem of keeping the spectators from
crossing the track. A little fore
thought on the part of the students
will go further to prevent this evil
than will all the trouble and annoy
ance that the assistant manager has
to undergo ordering the men to
keep off.
A Call for College Songs
Cash prizes have been offered by
President Sparks for new college
songs. Three dollars will be given
for the best song submitted and
two dollars for the second best.
The music may be original, or pop
ular airs may be used with new
words. Every effort should be
made to have the songs snappy.
All entries should be directed to
Prof. Robinson and put in the fac
ulty exchange or post-office.
One of the features of a big foot
ball game is the singing of the stu
dents. Good singing attracts peo
ple to the games and therefore
swells the gate receipts. No col
lege can cheer like Penn State but
because of a lack of good songs
Penn State has not a reputation for
mass singing. Let everybody enter
into this contest and surprise Penn
on November 1. Remember, 1917,
the best song last year was written
by a freshman.
Remarkable Glee Club in Prospect
More candidates have turned out
for the Glee Club this yeas than
have reported to "Big Bill" for
football. With more voices to be
tried it seems likely that the club
of fifty men will be selected from
one hundred and twenty-five men.
Prof. Robinson is very enthusiastic
and has no hesitation in predicting
that this club will be better than
any former State club and as good
as any in the land. •
The new students have furnished
a number of remarkable voices and
it is possible that some veterans
will have to be cast into the dis
card. If practical, the club will
lead the singing at football games.
A rehearsal will be held Wednes
day at the usual time and place.
Dr. W. R. Crane, dean of the
school of mines, visited Pittsburgh,
September 22-24, as a delegate to
the American Mine Safety Associa
tion.
