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.
