November 25, 1914 With the exodus of Lest We the student body today Forget goes our best wishes for a profitable Thanksgiv ing; but mingled with this well wishing is a desire to remind every Penn State man of the duty which he owes to his college to conduct himself as a gentleman should. With the intoxicating joy of victory may come the desire to fling dis cretion to the winds and indulge in those so-called pleasures which cannot fail but bring discredit to the institution which you represent. Stop and consider —weigh the cost against the temporary enjoyment— is it worth the price? While it is felt that these jew words.of protest against any action unworthy of a State man may be allowed to pass by unheeded by many men, we still have confidence that it may per haps be the deciding factor in helping some men to stand for the better things in their actions toward the outside world. It would also seem proper at this time to urge upon every undergrad- uate to come back on time, Mon day, at Bp. m. Let it be a silent act of appreciation for the kind generosity of the faculty in volun- tarily granting us this vacation. And lastly, do not let us forget to give thanks for the blessings which we, both as individuals and as a student body, have received during the past year. This college has reason indeed to be thankful for the prosperity which has at tended it and as Thursday, Novem ber 26, is the appointed day for giving thanks, let us not, amid the pleasures of that day, forget to ren der thanksgiving to Him who has blessed us so abundantly. The junior class has Class established an excellent Finances plan by the ap- pointment of a financial committee whose function it is to supervise the collection and pay- ment of class money, investigate bills and to bring the financial con dition of the class up to a high standard in any and every way pos sible. It is a distinct progressive step when a class realizes that finances deserve paramount atten tion and when something definite is done to alleviate present conditions. It still remains, however, a lament able fact that no stringent pro visions are made as regards the reg ulation of finances in the sopho more and freshman years. History repeats itself, year after year, and each succeeding class pays about one fourth of the money it owes during the first two years of its col lege existence. The junior year arrives and the large majority of the men in the class find them selves face to face with accumulat ed class dues, La Vie dues, prom dues, increased cost of books, and other incidental expenses. By a little forethought a method could be devised providing for the col lection of the class dues in the freshman and sophomore years, and the classes would be more like ly to live within their income. 1916-1917 Tie in Inter-Class Soccer. Neither the junior nor sophomore class team was able to win a game of soccer last Saturday, which went two extra periods to a 2-2 score. In the first half Coombs kicked a goal and the half ended with the score in the Sophomores favoi, 1-0. In the second haif after Mainwaring had made a goal from a penalty kick, neither team could score. An extra ten minute period was played. Nicholson of T 7, succeeded in kicking a goal, but Mainwaring again tied the score by kicking an other for the juniors. During an other extra five minutes of play neither side could score. Smedley proved an able assistant to Main waring who starred for 'l6. Wil kinson T 7, played well as he usual ly does, while Holmberg and Kelly proved the backbone of the de fense. On Monday at 4:10 the sophomores played the freshmen. This was not thes crap game. The scrap game will be played the after noon 6f~Dec.~l2. Vacation Cutting. The faculty action to prevent the tendency to extend vacations pro vides that a student absent from any college exercises within the twenty-four hours preceding and fol lowing the Christmas or Easter va cation without an excuse accepta ble to deans and advisers shall thereby forfeit his registration. To be readmitted to college he shall pay $5 at the Business Office, the same to be applied to the hos pital maintenance fund. Appli cation for excuse may be made in advance. Since the college exercises close at 11:10 a. m. before vacations, it will be possible to provide extra train service on all roads at sched uled hours. Similar provision will be made at the close of vacations. Through trains will be run as far as possible. The irregularity in time of leaving has heretofore prevented such an arrangement. Eighteen schools have accepted invitations to send a delegation to visit the University of Pittsburgh and attend the Pitt-State football game Thanksgiving Day. The high schools at Beaver, Crafton, McKeesport, Sewickley, Tarentum, River Side, Brushton and Verona are in the list. The Indiana State Normal at Indiana, and the Kiski Springs School also will be repre sented. Pittsburgh’s list includes Allegheny, Central, Fifth Avenue, Peabody, and South High Schools, Boys’ Collegiate Institute, Alle gheny Preparatory School and the Pittsburgh Academy. The Collegian Board was increas ed last Thursday evening by the election of C. B. Patterson T 7, and C. R. Mason T 7, to the business staff. The board takes pleasure in welcoming these new men on the staff. tHETTPENN STATE- 'COLLEGIAN Kind Words, In a recent letter to President Sparks, Dr. Snyder, president of the Michigan Agricultural College, writes as follows : “Our team and the band were very much pleased with the treat ment they received at your institu tion. The players say they never met a cleaner, finer team and the courtesies extended to them by your team were grand and very much appreciated by our boys. They all, the team, band and visit ors praise very highly the courteous treatment received from your stu dent body. Everybody was so generous and kind after the game as well as before that we almost felt that we could have wished the victory had been with you." Additional Playground Area 1 In pursuance of the policy which has made Penn State unique among eastern colleges is the large area devoted to playgrounds, the board of trustees has voted an additional 40 acres for playground purposes. The barns and fences on the west campus will' be torn down and an area of land stretching as far back as the “Y” will be wholly devoted to baseball diamonds and to gener al athletic use. The purpose is to get more men into some sort of physical activity, and as there are already 25 acres in use for such purposes the additional ground will give us the largest playground area of any college in the country. Another Class Scrap There is but one more lacrosse game to be played this fall. This will be the scrap game between the sophomores and freshmen and will probably be played on Saturday, December 5. There is no doubt but that this game will be the best of the interclass series for both teams are of equal calibre and equally determined to win. —The--winr>~&f-.-the interciass ser ies is 1916, this class having won every game, while each of the oth er three classes won one game and lost two.
