can enter the shooting competitions
is only limited to the capacity of
the range.
In addition to competition
against each other in rifle matches,
college clubs are given annually a
medal for a members’ competition
by the National Rifle Association.
Decorations are also presented to
club members by. the War Depart
ment for qualifying as expert,
sharpshooter and/marksman. The
college which made the best show
ing in the number of students
qualified for the fiscal year ending
June 30th, 1914, was Cornell Uni
versity. The rifle club which made
the best showing in the number of
qualifications was the Minnesota
University Rifle Club which qual
ified 96 marksmen, it sharpshoot
ers and 19 experts.
At the camps of instruction for
college students held during the
summer, rifle shooting was one of
the courses of military training
laid down, At these camps 31
students qualified as experts, 114
as sharpshooters and 219 as marks
men. The National Rifle Associ
ation of America presented a cup
for an intercollegiate team compe
tition and also it medal for the
student making the highest score
at each camp. The cup was won
by Cornell University whose four
men scored 854, The University
of California was second with 809
and the University of Minnesota
third with 782.
Penn State is a member of this
association but has up to the pres
ent time taken no part in these
championships due to the fact that
we are without proper facilities
namely, an indoor gun range.
However, plans are now under con
sideration for such a range to be
built under the armory and ex
tending from the gun room to the.
annex, with the base under the
gun room.
THE WOMEN STUDENT
GOVERNMENT DELEGATES.
Two delegates, Margherite Wil
son, president of the student
council, and Sarah Sweeton ’l6
will attend the annual convention
of the Women Student Govern
ment Association at Radcliffe Col
lege, November 3, 4 and 5. The
faculty furnished two thirds of the
expenses and the girls collected the
other third.
These delegates have no vote
but are entitled to attend the con
vention as visiting delegates.
Membership in the National As
sociation requires each college to
have fifty girls in the Ha's
under student government. This
year’s class brought us nearer
than any other, and it is hoped
that the ’l9 class will bring about
the desired vote.
