Building Mice hours, 420 to 6.20 every afternoon except Saturday. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1917 News Editor for This Issue TO THE TEAM On Thursday you will play your final game for the 1917 season. Some of you will be playing your final game of college football, per haps for all time. In Pitt, you will meet one of the best football machines in the country, a team that has won twenty-si• consecutive games and that expects to make it one more on Thanksgiving Day. Your record this year is not impressive, but after all, records count for nothing Comparative scores are little upon which to base any judgment. Theoretically, Pitt is a better machine than you of Penn State. But do not forget that the student body is behind you Win or lose, you are our team, and we are with you to the last. Fight for your alma mater, for the glory of old Penn State, and in fighting, you will be doing your best for the Blue and White We know your are not over-confident of victory, nor are you oppressed with the idea of de feat. It is up to you, men, and we are counting on you on Thursday. THINK IT OVER Should the Penn State students who come within the army draft laws enlist before December IS, or should they continue their college work? This is the burning question that now confronts a majority of the upperclassmen, and Dr. Sparks gave it his best possible answer in the meeting last Friday night At least one conclusion can be reached at this time—each man should give the question very grave consider ation before thinking seriously of suddenly leaving college it is now definitely known that registered men who have not yet been called, will have no chance to make a selective enlistment after the-middle of next month. Just why-this decision has been,made by the government officials, is impossible to state at Ibis time. We can 46re s odiy oiterlhe sitgreiirlref"PrMenZnt SparntialTrirer to the vital question. The final decision as to what he shall do rests entirely with the student himself. Chances for college undergraduates getting into the next officers' training camp are very slim. Penn State has been allowed a quota Of less than fifty men for this camp, and this will be filled entirely by graduates, men with more experience and business training than the average student Ordnance and aviation seem to be the most popular braches of the service for college men to enter It is hardly possible that room can be made for all before the middle of next month in these branches. It would therefore seem best for each man who is considering enlistment to make absolutely sure that he con be accom modated before he drops out of college. We fail to see the advan tage in a student's leaving college at this time, and then sitting quietly at home, waiting for the call of the draft proceedings, and making no effort to enter any particular branch of the service. Yet many are taking this course Through their two years of military training under men who are now majors in the army, Penn State men are particularly well fitted to make good in the ranks when they are eventually drafted. Scores of instances where former students of this college have quickly risen to non-commissioned offices in the various camps, can be cited as proof of this statement. Some of these men arc already in line for com missions. What they have done, others can do. A very small per centage of the drafted men have had any military training whatever, and when it comes to a test of military ability, Penn State men have the best of three-fourths of all other college men Is not that worth while? "ON TO PITT." Where is that old Penn State slogan that each year at this time carried scores of men to Pittsburgh to help support that football team?—"On to Pitt!" We have not heard it once this year. Three years ago it was in the air for weeks. At that time a special train of eight or ten coaches carried an enthusiastic crowd to the "smoky city" for the biggest athletic event of the year. The windows of the cars each bore an immense letter, forming a foremost thought—" Pittsburgh and Vic tory"—"On to Pitt!" This year the war seems to have Penn State by the throat Everybody seems to be "homesick" and is planning to spend the special vacation at home instead of lending needed support to the team in its greatest battle of the year. About face'—"On to Pitt!" A vacation was asked for. Students said they must have a change —a good time while the opportunity presented itself. The vacation was granted. Now what are you going to do with it? If a special train runs east on Wednesday, we dare say that it will be the first time such an event has happened since the start of the annual Thanks giving classic between Pitt and State. Charge the enemy, DON'T RETREAT! "On to Pitt!" AN APPEAL FOR COOPERATIOIN There can be no existing doubt that the achievements of Penn State's men in the present World War will some day be of great in terest and value to the institution. What could be more fitting as a history of Penn State's work than a complete list of the names of those who have fought and died for their country, such a list to go down in the annals of the college to be revered by the coming gener ations of classes? Such a list is now being compiled, and there are upwards of nine hundred names already placed upon it. But such a task as this requires cooperation on the part of all those who enter the service, especially those undergraduates who are leaving at the present time R. H. Smith 'O5, secretary of the Alumni Association, has undertaken the work of gathering together the only complete record, a history of the service of Penn State alumni, stud ents and faculty in the war. He desires information from all who enlist, with regard to the time of their enlistment, the branch of ser vice, rank attained, regiment and company, and mailing address. This information is being published from time to time in the association pUbliVions, and such students who know the desired information concerning their enlisted classmates should give it to the Alumni Secretary at once. Your cooperation in this piece of work will assure an intensely interesting history. 1111 ‘. There appears to have been some unnecessary misunderstanding I egarding the character of the entertainment course to be presented this winter by the Department of Music and the Y. M. C A., but it seems to us that there should be no doubt as to its quality with such numbers as the Russian Symphony Orchestra, the Elsie Baker Com pany, and the Adelphia Quartette, on the program, and the COLLEGIAN wishes to express itself as highly in accord with the program as arranged by the committee. The first number alone, as will be vouched for by all who heard them last year, may be said to be worth the admission price that is being charged for the entire course . ==l . . Seats are open to subscription now, and rill these orders will be given first chance when the tickets are issued. The price of admis sion is set at as low n figure ns possible, and it should be easily within the reach of all. 12= During the past two weeks, the Freshmen have received their cadet uniforms from the tailors so that we now find more than double the number of uniformed students walking about the campus. Un doubtedly the wearing of the uniform improves the appearance of the first year men at drill, and it is only too bad that they did not arrive in time for the Pennsylvania Day review. However, we have noticed a decided inclination on the part of some of the Freshmen to try to "pull something over" under cover of the uniform By this we refer to smoking on the street, hands in their pockets, and the failure to keep coats buttoned. The latter is a college custom applying to all students wearing uniforms and is not to be_violated by Sophomores, let alone Freshmen. The other matters are class customs and there is hardly a doubt but that the guilty parties realize that they are intentionally disobeying rules. If these men have any ability to reason at all, they must realize that eventually they will be caught and brought before the Student Tribunal. The latter organization has promised to be especially severe on these offenders However, even if the guilty ones should not be caught,, what then? Is it something to be proud of that they are doing?' Is it an honor to break rules and not be caught' , The best upperclassman arises from the Freshman who lives up to the rules— the man who plays fair with himself and with his college. ..Buelneou Mummer Adverthalng Manager W L Eisler . 19 G V. Glatfelter 'l9 A. R. LEINBACH If most of the reports from the training camps are true, we at Penn State can be especially thankful at this Thanksgiving time that we are enjoying such privileges that we arc in a position to enjoy. What we, would like to know is—Just how many Freshmen were actually at the last period of that scrap on Saturday' But it t was a good, clean scrap, and enjoyed by spectators and contestants alike Here's hoping that it will be a permanent fixture at Penn State.
