News Editor for This Issue
HAVE YOU A KICK?
Have you n "kick" to register against anything particular, or
everything in general?
There is a great tendency on the part of college men to go about
"crabbing" on the slightest provocation, and stirring up feeling on
many little things, which if brought to the attention of the proper
authorities in a reasonable way, could doubtless be settled by very
little explanation. The COLLEGIAN once more desires to bring
your attention to the fact that it offers its columns to the students
to serve as a medium for such action.
A man in a Pennsylvania city recently "kicked" to the State
Commerce Commission concerning an c•cess charge made by a
street car company. The resulting investigation brought an immedi
ate adjustment of rates 'to the satisfaction of thousands of people.
Here at Penn State, the COLLEGIAN is a publication of the stu
dents, by the students and for the students, and it is each man's right
to call upon it in his endeavor to further the best interests of the
college.
If anything at Penn State isn't going just as you think it ought
to go; if you have any ideas that you think would better things here,
don't keep the information to yourself, or go to your room mate, or
to the table at your boarding house. Let the entire student body
know of it through these columns, if you can not do that, your "kick"
is not worth while.
In the seven issues of the COLLEGIAN this year the editor has
received for publication only three letters from students or faculty
members Two of these have been based on individuals "kicks"
about college affairs We trust and believe that they have been
effective in the betterment of conditions. The old saying that "two
heads arc better than one" might be applied here, though there is
a chance to make it "two thousand heads are better than one."
Every week we hear numberless criticisms on various phases of life
in and about the college, but when the suggestion is made that a
letter be written to the COLLEGIAN, we fail to get results. We are
endeavoring to serve the students in the best possible manner, yet
it is a difficult task to give satisfaction to all. Right in this line we
might state that criticisms, constructive or destructive, with regard
to the policy of your paper will be welcomed at all times. It is our
desire to make the paper as interesting and beneficial to our readers
as possible.
Merely as a showing of good faith, we must ask that all articles
bear the name of the writer, but no names will be published if so
requested.
ANOTHER FORM OF !CULTURE
It is often said that a man's actions form an indication of his
breeding and home training. We believe that this is to a certain
extent true, but we fear that there are exceptions to this as well as
to all rules, and th it th-se e'cepticns v iii t xist de.pite the efforts
of a college to broaden a man in all lines. For example:
We do not believe that any man in his home training has been
taught to wilfully multilate the belongings of another person or group
of persons. We have always been under the impression that such acts
were reserved for Kaiserism Yet we are sorry to say, there appar
ently are those among the student body who deliberately persist in
clipping articles from the magazines and papers in the Carnegie
Library. These publications are the property of the student body, or
rather they are for the use of the student body. yet the student body
as a whole must suffer because of the vandalism of a few.
If these acts are due to thoughtlessness, as we believe is the case,
a word to the wise should be sufficient. Perhaps the depredations this
year are due to new-comers to Penn State who are not familiar with
our regulations. However, if there is a continuance of such acts,
Student Council should take definite steps to punish the offenders
most severely.
Another matter in connection with the library is the carelessness
with which magazines and periodicals are left strewn indiscriminately
about the library. These publications have special sections reserved
for them, and it is inconvenient, to say the least, when one goes to
the library for a limited time to be forced to spend almost the entire
time hunting for the magazine one desires. And it is most humiliat
ing to find a gaping hole in the page where you expected to find the
object of your search.
BENEFIT BAND CONCERT
The COLLEGIAN wishes to urge upon the students, faculty, and
townspeople the necessity of attending the benefit concert to be
given by the cadet band next week. This organization is one of the
hardest working of the many in existence at Penn State and may be
said to receive the least support. When it is taken into considera
tion that the band turns out to every athletic contest of the major
sports and a majority of the minor ones, in addition to participating
in the series of Sunday afternoon concerts throughout the winter,
in conjunction with the orchestra and college chorus, but little urg
ing for a large attendance should be required. The concert comes at
a very opportune time (the night before Pennsylvania Day), as it
affords an opportunity of giving the visitors an idea of the excellent
character of Penn State's musical talent. The band has already shown
its willingness to strive for the best interests of State College life, and
it is only a square deal for those who have gained therefrom to show
their appreciation and readiness to lend financial support.
We take pleasure in noting the fact that the Freshman stands at
the football games during the past two weeks have been filled to twice
the capacity that they were for the first two home games.

A Fiord Cycle
Are only the rate things of Penn
State most appreciated' , Can wo only
learn to enjoy the best things by hav
ing thorn appear but talc° in a school
term? To whom do the student orga
nizations belong? Is anothet question
Last yeas may be taken as a repre
sentative year. Were not the organi
mtioni of the Band and Orchestra a
wonderful treat throughout the year?
Yet they did not appear but a few
tintes during the term. Is the Glee
Club a much mote dialcult organiza
tion to prepare for concerts than the
other two abuse named Student en
deavors? Any person acquainted with
musical work can leadlly say that both
types of organized°ns require the same
amount of preparation for public con
certs providing theta is a wish to do so
The band and orchestra in the post
has° more than earned their student
appreciation llow could ae leant to
appreciate the Oleo Club when it is not
our prisilege to hear it? In the pant
e hese been denied such create, in the
futute—it in hard to out.
The absence of Glee Club concerts
may be attilbuted to one cause Shall
the college proper soon realize this de
ficiency 7 May we not have some means
of furthering local appreciation of local
artists In the line of high grade con
certs! /t is done In other colleges, even
In the small ones If they can do It,
so can we All these questions are
worth considering, far it Is only fair
that the student body of Penn State
enjoy those things which It is expected
to support.

Aro you getting all the FRESH air
you need? In these days of the H. C
L., which seems to be ever increas
ing, air, which is so absolutely essen
tial to living, remains the cheapest
thing on the market, but is not con
named in the quantities It should be,
Probably because it is so cheap. If air
sins put up in packages and sold at
so much per quart or gallon, people
could be more concerned about its
value and make greater efforts to get
more of it. Few people realize that in
the ordinary act of resplration they
use a very small proportion of their
lung capacity, they are shallow
breathers Thin is due to faulty bal.
Its which have in turn lead to stooped,
or round shoulders, with flat, hollow,
or long narrow chests To overcome
this ono should cultivate the habit of
wearing one's cellar propertly. One
should make the back of the neck
touch the collar at all times, because
le so doing the capacity of the chest
Is Increased and the lungs which are
surrounded by a vacuum lust natur
ally MI with air, the abdomen is re
tracted, the shoulders are thrown
back, and one cannot help assuming
a better posture because of this slm
pie procedure This, the making the
back of the neck touch the collar, Is
a habit to be cultivated rather than a
feet to be remembered
