Radical developments have taken place within the past week. calling for a change in plans on the part of those students who desire to enlist their services in the biggest job that Uncle Sam has undertaken in years. An entirely new aspect now confronts these me•t. and while at present it appears to be less attractive, its materiel side should really be ignored by those who feel that the country needs their services. And there are many such men at Penn State. And turther developments may be expected daily. They have been coming ti uk and fast during the past week. With three months of military dill in a regularly organized army encampment facing them bi.fore a commission can be secured, the situation here at once as sumes gi eater responsibility and sacrifice on the part of all who go in to it Puked men will represent Penn State, and with the advantages of the military training received here, an efficient body should survive the test and bring further glory to its Alma Mater. It is entirely possible that pay will be allowed these candidates for commissions, but that side of the question should by no means in fluence any Penn State man in making his decision. The fact that our counti is at war and needs our services is in itself enough to com mand and guide the eligible upperclassmen who sees his way clear to take this step. \Vivi respect to the agricultural than quote the great Napoleon,—"An The willingness of the students in the their studus and get back on the farm with that of the men who undertake A SCRAP OR A PINK TEA? In an editorial that appeared in the Collegian earlier in the year the fact was commented upon that "something was wrong" at Penn State Among other statements that were set forth as being facts for the pi oof of that state of affairs, there was a clause which referred to the lack of class scraps and the old time spirit that formerly accom panied such occasions as one reason why the college had fallen into a depthless rut of seeming content and was allowing things to slide along in a "pepless" matter-of-course way that had apparently lost for ever that many sided, peculiarly human phrase—" College Spirit." However true that allusion may have been at the time—and we believe that there was a chance for a great deal of truth in it—the fact remains that on next Saturday afternoon we will be given an op portunity to see if matters have improved. Shall we have a real scrap next Satui day, or are we to witness a "pink tea': affair made resplen dent with about as much "pep" and interest as displayed by a Thurs day afternoon Sewing Circle' , The sad fact remains that the committee in charge of the Tug-of- War between the two underclasses has deemed it necessary to limit the scrap to three tugs with only seventy-five men to a side. Lack of interest on the part of the Sophomore class in the scrap last November makes it impossible for the committee to count on more men turning out. Time arc more than enough available men in each class to make up half a dozen tugs. Little or no interest has been shown by the un derclassmen in the coming scrap. Yet the winning of it means more to the Freshman class than they seem to realize, the choice of the colors they shall bear for the balance of their college course. 'Here is a clean, wholesome and fair class scrap that a one legged man could enter and give a good account of himself; but only one-third of a healthy, active class can be relied upon to uphold the honor and dignity of the whole. Class scraps are fast approaching the point of elimination at Penn State and the attitude displayed by the underclasses in Saturday's fray will count much in the final outcome of the present decline of college traditions. OF EQUAL IMPORTANCE On a oar with the famous Sherwood Eddy, the long remembered John R. Mott and the equally successful Raymond Robbins campaigns of the past three years, is the coming Charles M. Alexander series of ev , mgclistic meetings under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A The time and the lender could not be of greater importance to the men of Penn State in a movement of this kind. The stage is appropriately set and the actors lust as well fitted for a most memorable series of meetings. Mr. Alexander set Penn State to thinking a few weeks ago with his statement that it would not be many more weeks until we students would he wearing a different kind of uniform. At that time his words came as n distinct shock, and to many were unbelievable. Yet he was right. and his return is being looked forward to with great ig.terest. We shall hear more of the world-wide movement of the Pocket Testa ,_. ment League, and the aim of Mr. Alexander in this campaign wil doubtless be to increase the Penn State membership in this unique or ganmation to the maximum Music will be made a feature of the earn pawn, end it hoped that student leadership in music will be the out come of this special emphasis. , . looking Sackwarb I.'or the third time, Penn State won the Ir ~- CoPeginto Debating Chant -' reating Dickinson in season annual dmmat arm of a comedy Patten completed get returned from laded concerts at afonto.
