How much of a stu-
Activities dent’s time should be
devoted to college ac
tivities is a debatable question but it
is pretty generally agreed upon that
every student should go into some
line of activity. Not only does the
welfare of the student body de
mand such participation on the part
of the students but the students
themselves cannot afford to miss
this unequalled opportunity foi
personal development. Although
these considerations are pretty well
established in the minds of both
faculty and student body here at
Penn State yet the lamentable fact
remains that only a relatively smaf
number of students are taking pari
in activities and the vast majority
of the men are neglecting their
interest in college affairs. Two sa-
lient facts stand out:
1. THE SHEDULES OF THE
MEN ARE TOO HEAVY TO AL
LOW REASONABLE PARTICI
PATION IN ACTIVITIES.
2. BECAUSE OF CLASS
WORK AND LACK OF INTER
EST A LARGE NUMBER OF
MEN ARE INJURING THEM
SELVES AND THE COLLEGE
BY NOT PARTICIPATING IN
ACTIVITIES.
In a student body of 2000 men
we have the example of three or
four men holding twice the numbei
of responsible positions that they
have the time proper attention to,
positions given to them because
they were the only available men
to receive them. Such a spectacle
is indeed to be regretted. Is there
no remedy for such conditions' 1
The COLLEGIAN earnestly be
lieves that there is a remedy that can
be applied if the Student Board will
awaken to its responsibility and
take definite action on this import
ant problem. The system of as-
signing a certain number of points
to each activity and position ol
responsibility in the college and not
allowing any student to exceed a
certain number of points is in vogue
at many colleges’ and has worked
out successfully there. Especially
here at Penn State, since this is
essentially a technical institution
with a large number of hours on the
schedules, there should be a
definite regulation of the number of
activities each man could enter.
The point system has proved
adequate to meet this necessity in
other colleges and the COLLE
GIAN believes that it has the stu
dent body supporting it in asking
the Student Board to investigate
this matter and take some definite
action to relieve the present
condition,
Last of the Organ Recitals
The last of the series of organ
recitals to be rendered this year
was given last Sunday afternoon by
Dreibelbeis, 'l7. A large audience
was delighted with the program
presented by Mr. Dreibelbeis. In
addition’to the instrumental music
two solos by Wilkins’ 17, entitled
“Life’s Lullaby” and “All Through
the Night” were very admirably
rendered and well received by the
audience. Among the compositions
played by Mr. Dreibelbeis were’-
Offeratory in F minor, Salome;
Grand Chorus in G, Salome; Song
of Sorrow, Nevin; June Barcarolle,
Tchaikowsky; second Sonata for
organ, first and second movements,
Mendelssohn; Jubilate Deo, Silver.
Literature on the Armament Issue
In a three-cornered debate be
tween Cornell, Columbia and the
University of Pennsylvania on
March 6 on the subject, “Resolved,
That in view of the present situa
tion the United States should take
immediate steps to materially in
crease its army and navy,” the re
sult was a tie, the negative winning
in each contest. The same subject
is now scheduled for debate in a
number of other colleges and uni
versities. The American League to
Limit Armaments, 43 Cedar street,
New York City, has a quantity of
literature on this subject which it
offers to send gratis to college men
upon application.
A Welfare Week for State College
Beginning April 12, and ending
April 19, a week known as Welfare
week will be conducted by two
social experts, Mr. and Mrs. Var
ney. Lectures are scheduled for
both afternoon and evening meet
ings, covering many of the vital
social and civic problems of the
times.
Mr. Varney served as chaplain in
the Spanish-American war; and is
listed in “Who is Who in Amerida”.
Mrs. Varney has had 12 years in
Chatauqua work in addition to be
ing a college graduate.
Inter-class Debate
The freshman debating team try
outs resulted in the selection of the
following men to represent the
class: Fowler, Keller, Kraybill, and
Prutzman. The sophomote team
will be composed of Hammond,
Wilkins, Coombs, and Stover. The
inter-class debate will be held in
May when the literacy teat for im
migrants will be argued.
Dishes? Yes, that is a queer
subject for a newspaper article but
then, these dishes are new. They
are white with bands of blue —State
colors. And they are stamped with
the monogram of the Woman’s
building. Not every year are the
old dishes entirely vanquished and
replaced by a whole set of new
ones. But there is one thing differ
ent about these new pieces of
china ware. They are heavy— too
heavy it is feared to be juggled by
the waiters.
The first prize of $15.00 offered
by the W. C. T. U. for the best
essay on the liquor question, was
won by E. Rodriguez, 'l5; Whiting,
T7l was awarded the second prize
of $lO.OO. The essay of the winner
will be submitted for the state con
test in which a prize of $lOO is
given.
The local oratorical contest of
the Prohibition League was won
last Wednesday evening by George
G. Weber, 17. He will represent
the college in the State to be held
at Dickinson on April 16.

TUXEDO in a
Class by Itself
Tuxedo was put on the
market 10 years ago. It wai
the first tobacco ever made
that absolutely will not bite the tongue, bmce then
imitators have sprung up, and after having failed to
steal the famous “Tuxedo Process” have put out
processes which they claim are just as good.
This “Tuxedo Process" is the original and best
process for removing all from the natural
tobacco leaf. This process is a secret, known only to
the makers of Tuxedo. To get the best get Tuxedo.
When you smoke, you smoke to get joy and repose—
that comfey, gosh-but-life-is-good feeling. I hat s why you
like Tuxedo. Tuxedo is all pleasure and a yard wide. Koll
those old creamy puffs of Tuxedo, from your pipe or cigarette,
around in your mouth! Get that aromatic fragrance! Get
that smooth-as-cream tobacco richness! And it s all so mild
and gentle you can smoke Tuxedo all day long if you like.
No other tobacco compares for an instant with Tuxedo.
Get some and see for yourself. Tuxedo stands absolutely
in a class by itself.
