WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1917 News Editor for this issue LIFT THIS BURDEN A great responsibility rests upon the shoulders of the Freshman class. And it rests with as much weight upon the mebers in the three upper classes, for with the reduction in numbers in the student body this year, however slight it may seem, the burden of keeping things moving in a natural way is now unevenly distributed. By virtue of their larger numbers, the bulk of the power that must be utilized in turning Penn State's wheel of progress must come from the new men. We can rely upon the upper classes to see their duties and to per form them to the best of their ability But things are new to the Freshmen, and will continue so until they are organized and their du ties indicated. We trust that this organization will not be held off much longer The men and the college are the losers It is extremely gratifying to know that the total membership of the student body has not been materially decreased because of the great world crisis While it is true that about forty percent of the Senior membership of last year has been lost, and less than thirty per cent of the Juniors have not returned, with the Sophomores number ing almost the same and the Freshmen many more than last year, Penn State is not in such bad shape as it was thought last spring that she would be at this time. But in certain ways that loss of three hundred men will be keenly felt. For instance, that many loyal voices would make a vast differ ence in the cheering sections at a 'varsity football game. That many men would add greatly to the success of an athletic mass meeting. And they could help a good cause along by appearing daily at football practice, showing an interest in the men who suffer pain and torture for the glory of Old State. These are the ways in which the Freshmen can help in carrying the burden. Let the rest of us know that there is a Freshman class at Penn State; that it is a class worth while; that it can readily absorb the Penn State spirit. One visit a week on the part of each member of the class to old Beaver field would mean more than one hundred spectators every practice hour. Get out there and learn to know the men who will represent your class on the gridiron this fall There is plenty 'of room and your presence will be welcomed. There will be a mass meet ing lust before the Gettysburg game next week. College customs dicate that ALL Freshmen attend these mass meetings. They are well worth while, and you will be expected to attend. Plan now to witness every home game this fall, and as many of the foreign games as you can. Preceeding classes have earned reputations upon their ability to give the college songs and cheers in a creditable manner, and now is the opportunity of besting these records. Go into it—go hard, and the "burden" will turn out to be made up of mere feathers. "LETTERS FROM THE FRONT" Beginning with this issue, the "Collegian" opens a new department which we hope to maintain throughout the year. The title, "Letters From the Front," is self e•pinnatory, for under this head each week we will endeavor to print letters, or parts of letters that have been re ceived from Penn State men who have undertaken to help their coun try in the World \Var. But in order to maintain this new feature we must naturally have the cooperation of the men who have gone out to take up this great work. Copies of the "Collegian" are being mailed in bulk to a Penn State man in each of the various camps for general distribution at their headquarters, so far as limited means will allow on our part. The student support to the welfare of the "Collegian" at this time does not warrant our sending free copies to all Penn State men, even to those of the undergraduate classes who have gone into the service. Publication of these first three issues has been made at a great loss. A glance at our paid advertising space in this issue will prove that state ment. Student subscriptions to date are lower than at a corresponding time for years back. In order that we may guarantee publication throughout the year, and supply at least some of the soldier boys with the college news, we must have twice as many student supporters than have already come forward to help us out. We would also seek the cooperation of members of the faculty and student body who from time to time receive letters from their friends in the service. We will gladly print letters, or parts oiletters that you feel would be of interest to our readers. To the men in the service—This Innovation presents nn excellent opportunity to tell all of your classmates and friends in one letter where you are and how you are "making out." Let us hear from you. A PLEA FOR PENN STATE As can be seen from the "Honor Roll" printed each week in the columns of this paper, many Penn State men arc already in the armed forces of the United States. The names of many others have not yet been printed, for it is impossible to keep track of the great number who have rallied 'round the flag. The provisions of the selective con scription act are daily adding other names to our roll of honor as the men are called to serve their country. Penn State men arc already in France engaged in many branches of governmental and military work. Others are sure to follow soon; and the rest are scattered across the continent, in the north and in the south; in the east and in the west—all preparing to carry the colors of Uncle Sam to the front. While the majority of the men mentioned are without doubt alum ni, there are also many under-graduates among them—men who would have been seniors. juniors or sophomores if they had been able to re turn to college this fall, and who would have had but a few short years before obtaining their diploma. It is to these men that we wish to make this plea for Penn State. Remember the old Alma Mater, men, wherever you may be, and re member that we who are back here at old State are still thinking of you. And when this great war is over, and peace is once more the dom inating power, then, men, we will look for you 'neath the vale of Old Mount Nittany. Come back and finish your course, whenever it may be, and make old Penn State to the fullest extent, your Alma Mater! The students of Penn State are indeed fortunate in.having at their disposal, free of charge, the College Health Service, the aims of which are pointed out by Dr. Ritenour in the news columns of 'this issue of the "Collegian." Dr. Ritenour has a great work in hand, and we ex tend to him best wishes for success and achievement in it throughout the year. We would repeat the words of President Sparks when he urged last Wednesday morning that students try not to "cut" chapel on mass meeting mornings The college mass meetings on Wednesday morn ings are of the greatest importance at all times. Not only are matters of student government interest taken up at these gatherings, but im portant announcements arc always made. Every seat should be filled in college chapel on Wednesday mornings and Freshman chapel on Thursday mornings Editor-In-Chia Managing Editor Sontor Aggoelato -1-:-.÷:44.4-:-.44+÷..:-.444. :: ...
