Wednesday, January 21, 1914 The college librar- Abuse ians have always had of to contend with the the Library problem of mutilation o! library books and periodicals for personal use, and of late the practice has been of fre quent occurrence. Magazines and reference books have been found with pictures and articles cut out bodily by thoughtless or narrow minded individuals. The Penn State-Carnegie Library is a well equipped, well managed institution, founded in the interests of all Penn State men to such an extent that students are allowed al most absolute freedom in its use. Members of the faculty coming from other institutions have been amazed at the liberal policy pur sued by Dr. Runkle in his regula tions as to the reading room and stacks. It is difficult to under stand how any one can by a selfish act deprive hundreds of men of something which they have a right to, and, in so doing, betray the ab solute confidence in the student body expressed by the library pol- A student has been accused of mutilating a periodical, and he will be brought before the student coun cil for trial. A former student council resolution inflicts the fol lowing penalties, fiist offense, the replacing of things damaged, for second offense, absolute expul sion from college. It will thus be seen that the offense is regarded as a serious one, and all men should not only refrain from breaking the rule, but should also see that no one else does with out punishment. All college laws and customs are useless if everyone does not lift a hand to enforce them. A warning should be sufficient. It seems that the “re- College minder”, published in a Spirit? recent issue of the Col legian, concerning the necessity of full attendance at mass meetings, has not had a very far reaching effect. Notwithstanding the extensive advertising of last Thursday’s meeting, even to the publication of important matters to be considered and voted upon, it.is doubtful if there were 150 men in the Old Chapel at the appointed time and later in the evening. Moreover at the recent athletic election there were an appalling number of men who failed in their duty of casting votes. We wonder how many columns have been written in the past, eulogizing that famous Penn State spirit of ours, and we wonder what Penn State alumni will think when reading the astounding news of no quorum at two consecutive athletic association meetings. It is certain’ that there is something radically wrong —what it is, no one can say. At any rate, whatever has been the cause, a dangerous precedent has been set. The actual harm has been done; and the attitude for every man in college should be to remedy matters by attending the meeting which will be held in the near future, and all subsequent meetings. A summary of business which was to have been brought up last last Thursday will be found in another column of the Collegian. Let us make the The College success of the com- Campaign ing evangelistic cam- paign in February unprecedented in the history of the college. These admirable enter prises are conducted so as to reach the heart of every student, and to cause him to contemplate the deep er, spiritual sides of life. The leaders engaged in making addresses to students all over the world, really belong to the highest type of manhood —they have real ized the needs of the college man, and they are untiring in their un selfish efforts to satisfy these needs. An appeal is hereby made to every individual student in the Pennsylvania State College to give his support to this wonderful cam paign, not only by his faithful attendance at all the meetings, but also by his moral and spiritual aid. Addresses of such a calibre will be of indefinable benefit to every man in this institution, whether he be settled in his beliefs or not. For the sake of his own spiritual welfaie a man cannot afford to miss a sin gle meeting. It must be readily apparent to every man, the import ance of cultivating the mind with higher and nobler ideals. Let us individually and collect ively stand behind this great cam paign, which is instituted solely to influence the lives of Penn State men. Let us resolve to become acquainted with those spiritual essentials which make a man's life worth living. Owing to the fact that The Next next Wednesday occurs Collegian in the middle of exam ination week, and to the feivent desire of the Collegian staff to "stay in college”, there will be no issue of the paper next week, and the next issue will appear on the first Wednesday in the new semester, February 4. < a tu Nyi tlic.iAtoni PtMiia Aulhor i/c-d dealer of tin* J.ustmnn Kodak Lo.
