Wedfteiday, December 10, 1913
Ever since State Col-
Behavior lege has had a motion
in the picture theatre, there
Movies has been a tendency for
a certain group of men
to pass remarks which certainly do
not agree with the propriety of con
duct. The motion picture theatre
is distinctly a public place of
amusement in this town, and every
patron of a public amusement in
stitution is required to observe the
fundamental rules of courtesy and
decency.
Of course it could hardly be ex
pected that college students, who
have entered a motion picture
theatre for the sole purpose of be
ing amused, should act as though
they were attending a campmeeting
orLa ; gospel-service. What may
be derintanded however, is that the
supposed acme of civilization and
culture of this country, at least
observe the etiquette of an Ameri
can gentleman, and at least be
have as though it were possessed
of xational mentality.
This denunciation applies only to
i very few individuals of this col
lege, but nevertheless their pres
ence, coupled with their obnoxious
remarks and atitude, certainly do
not• make the environment as
wholesome as they might be. Mr.
Wood is to be complimented for
the very good class of pictures
which he
since he first opened his
theatre—to our knowledge,
there has never been a reel feat
ured, which had any objectionable
qualities or which might have been
viewed withh disapproval by the
most lenient of moral critics. Not
withstanding this however, some
men have always looked for the
slightest opportunity or provocation
fo display their crude language and
actions
Public sentiment which alone can
obliterate such actions, and which
has accomplished so much in this
institution in the last four years,
should not condone anything which
does not come absolutely within
the propriety of behavior. The at-
mosphere of all public gatherings
in the vicinity of this institution
should be wholesome and above
reproach. An appeal is here made
to every student to lend his moral
support, so that ungentlemanly
actions in our motion picture
theatre may be a thing unknown in
State College.
You show your approval of crude
humor by laughing at it.
The Varsity Club
During the recent Pitt trip a club
was organized that promises to be
come a poyverful factor for our ath
letic welfare. This organization,
which is known as the • Varsity
Club, has for its purpose the stimu
lation of athletics in general and
particularly to carry information
concerning ourselves in a true light
to prospective college men who
have made good on high school
and preparatory school teams.
The members consist of all wear
ers of the varsity S and are divided
into two classes, graduates and
undergraduates. A moderate initi
ation fee is charged, sufficient to
cover the expense of a pin and to
pay a yearly subscription to a
pamphlet that will be issued bi
weekly.
The pamphlet will deal exclu.
sively with athletics and its sole
purpose will be to carry information
to our varsity graduates concerning
our athletic activities, possibilities
and any inside information that
may come up that may need ex
planation to those who are no long
er in close touch with these affairs.
Officers of the Varsity Club are
as follows: President, Harlow 'l2;
vice president, Miller 'l4; secretary,
Wardwell 'l5; ,treasurer, R. H.
Smith. The board of directors
consists of W. Heppestall, A. C.
Reed and Clarence Keyser.
One of the beneficial effects of
such a club as reported from other
colleges is to get our old varsity
stars back at critical times to lend
assistance before important games.
This, however, is but one of many.
Each member will feel an indi
vidual responsibility upon himself
to size up the promising prep
school youngsters and to use his
influence in interesting them in our
institution. This will give us a bet
ter class of material than has been
common, for the new men will
come here with a complete under
standing of what to expect, as the
information in these cases will
come from reliable authorized
MEM
Similar clubs have been the
Means of unearthing some of the
most valuable athletes found in col
lege ranks at the present time and
there is absolutely no reason why
it should not prove, with concen
trated effort, to be as valuable to
The Close of the Health Campaign
The end of this week will be not
able for those who are interested in
social and religious work because
of the presence of Dr. Samuel Mc-
Comb, an author and a scholar of
no small note. He was born in
Londonderry, Ireland, educated in
Magee College at that place and at
Assembly's College, Belfast. He
likewise holds M. A. degrees from
Oxford and Berlin and D. D.
degrees from Oxford and Glasgow.
Perhaps Dr. McComb is best
known through his work in connec
tion with the Emmanuel movement
started some few years ago in Bos
ton, having for its basis a physical
healing of disease, plus discipline,
friendship, encouragement and
hope. He will preach in chapel
next Sunday morning, will conduct
the Week of Prayer, Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday and will clos° the
health campaign with an address on
the relation of religion and medi
cine.
