SLIPPING BACK
When only twelve per cent, of Penn State's student body "re
members" the time and place of an important election, or makes up
that portion that is too And to walk up to Main Building, one is im
mediately struck with the fact that the Old College is not just "what
she used to be," something is apparently slipping.
It was very discouraging, to say the least, to those in charge of the
Athletic Association election last Thursday, to stick around the polls
only to accommodate a mere handful of voters—a grand and inspir
ing total of 248. Think of it, men! Only two hundred and forty
eight out of almost two thousand who would take the trouble to do
one of the little things asked of him about college. Every man in
college had a right to be there, and should have been there. Most of
them "forgot" that there was to be such an election, even though
the fact was well advertised all over the campus for several days in
advance
The list of names that was made up as each man dropped his bal
lot at the election, shows without a doubt just who the men are who
always lead the way for the others in college activities They are the
same old dependables who are always on hand for class meetings or
other little duties about the campus. The same crowd turns up
each year, but the worst of it this year is the fact that there are so
very, very few of them There are only 68 Seniors, 52 Juniors, 58
Sophomores and 70 Freshmen Are YOU going to sit back and let
this little bunch run things around here this year° It is to be hoped
ill, Vl . lll will not
WORTH WHILE
The college Y. M. C. A. this week is to put on their Membership
Campaign, in an effort to increase the number of students now con
nected with that institution. Enlarging their basis of membership,
as stated in the COLLEGIAN two weeks ago, should prove effective
in their efforts. The present war situation has brought the Y. M. C.
A. into marked prominence, both nationally and internationally, so
that a man belonging to this student branch is a member of one of
the greatest organizations of the world and certainly the largest
single student organization Their work here has been productive of
great service and good, and it is to be hoped such will continue to
be the case Why not give them a hand and boost?
The COLLEGIAN once more desires to appeal to students and
faculty members to turn over such letters received from Penn State
men "at the front" that would be suitable for publication We all
want to hear what the boys in the camps are doing. The editor would
appreciate the receipt of letters directly from-the men in camp, for
these columns offer an exceptional medium for letting all your friends
know where you are and what you are doing, with no more bother
than the writing of one letter.
It is truly remarkable how suddenly the Senior class grew in
numbers on Saturday. The grandstand on New Beaver would look
pretty empty with only the band, the women, the 250 Seniors and
visitors seated there. Yet scores of Seniors and visitors were forced
to sit on the bleachers during the football game, while Juniors and
Sophomores sat at ease in the grandstand. It is about time for some
of these fellows to "get wise."
Just about two hundred Freshmen were missing at the football
games on Saturday. Can it be possible that these two hundred are
still unaware of the fact that they are not required to pay admis
sion to these games? The Freshman stands were not more than
three-quarters full last Saturday, and there is plenty of room for
each one of the 740 of them.
Rather than ask each other "how many touchdowns are we going
to score against \V and J.?" it would be better to put it—" What
chances have we of getting the best of W. and J?" The West Stat
ers are not in the Prep school class by any means.
The Freshman monthly quizzes are being held this week for the
most part, and we would remind the Freshmen of the necessity of
obeying the rulings of the student Honor System. Permanent dis•
missal from college is the penalty for violations. Is it worth while
to cheat?
