Nevertheless, all of these qualities go hand in hand with the tanking of the MAN. BUT—are the men of Penn State taking advantage of the oppor tunities presented to them daily? Many of them are, but there a great many who are not Those who are not might be classified into two groups. To state broad facts bluntly, we have the "bookworm" and the "rowdy." There are chances that both can "come around" before they graduate and secure the best from their college associates One succeeds in doing a little for his college and class, while the other does too much. It is with this latter class that we wish to deal in this article There are times when the "rowdy" and "cut-up," while his in tentions might be for the best, goes beyond the limit. This has been true to a more or less marked degree here this year. We found him on the football stands all fall, handing out Ins remarks about those who passed by; we have seen has on the special trains at vacation time, performing as no true gentleman would, we see and and hear him on the campus and in the college buildings every day; we hear him in the "movies," we hear of his nightly raids for "eats" at the expense of his college mates; we hear him continually knocking his instructors and complaining about everything in general, making no personal effort to better conditions by turning over a new leaf for himself. The passing of untimely remarks at the football games reached such a limit this fall that it was discussed at length by members of Student Council at a recent meeting. The outcome of this was the passing of a resolution that it go on record as holding this state of affairs in great disapproval. This should be remembered by all who attend the coming basketball games and wrestling meets where ladies are always present On the train from Pittsburgh at the close of the Thanksgiving vacation these "rowdies" turned out all the lights in a car and seemed to enjoy the resulting discomfort to passengers. It is to be hoped that there enough gentlemen on the train that discharges passengers at Lemont on the return from the Christmas vacation, so as to allow the women passengers a chance to obtain immediate automobile transportation to the college. They should not be forced to stand there until the cars are able to make a return trip, as they have found it necessary to do in the past The balance of the offenses already mentioned are, for the most part, self-explanatory The fact remains that there art still some men at Penn State who are missing that greatest of all oppert-etinties atfalded by the institution—the buildina of_chamtC - r and personality Thesd arg_twio_.ll4l:-I'eciuirements demanded of the business man today, not to mention those required of the successful soldier. Present indications point to a =pray of students becoming soldiers before they become business men Therefore, should we not turn our attention immediately to the serious side of life and fit ourselves for the great duties that are to come STUDENT RIGHTS It is the duty and privilege of every student of Penn State to not only keep in active touch with the operation of the student govern ment, but tonssist in every way possible in urging their representatives in Student Council to present legislation that will benefit all con cerned . In other words, we merely desire to impress each and every student with the fact that his ideas for the betterment of conditions about the campus in general are always welcomed by members of Council. The student governing bodies arc of a necessity composed of a comparatively few representatives from each class, and these cannot be expected to convey to their meetings the ideals and desires of the entire student body. The Student Board and the'Student Council may be compared, respectively, to the Senate and House of Representa tives of the State government, with the student body making up the Commonwealth, or the masses served by their chosen delegates. Just as in the State government, these delegates should receive aid and instruction from those whom they represent. We sometimes hear of a student going to his Council representa tive with n worth while idea. Let us have more of it. Your repre sentatives should at all times be ready and willing to listen to your arguments with regard to new or old legislation. You may find some of the present rulings unsatisfactory; you may have a solution to a difficult problem; you may have an entirely new idea. Get to know your representatives in Council and deal out your information. If you are unable to do it that way, you will always find the columns of your college newspaper open for the purpose of announcing your plans. Don't allow your ideas to stagnate. As a means of aiding this situation we would recommend-that a goodly portion of each class meeting be given over to a general dis cussion of college affairs. At the ordinary class meeting there is a great tendency towards getting the business of the class transacted as quickly as possible, and it is a rare occasion that any discussion is opened on general college topics, especially in the gatherings of the under classes. Surely something could develop from such a practice, even though its start may seem to be a difficult one. A HEART AND A DOLLAR , The colleges of this country have borne their responsibility in the war generously and well. They have given their money and their services. Many college men are with the colors. Some will give their lives before the war is won. The Red Cross is fighting with the weap ons of science to lessen the sacrifices. "Ten million new members arc eded by Christmas." The Red Cross must have them. Otherwise • not fulfill the demands made upon it. • State's share in the big, nation-wide drive is now under of this week is being devoted by the local organization of ss towards urging every student to become a member of the National body that is doing so much for thi cause of humanity. The Red Cross maintains dispensaries for civilian residents in the war zone; it distributes supplies to nearly half a million French hospitals; cares for many refugees; operates hospitals and canteens for our sol diers. This year it will bring the only Christmas cheer that thousands of soldiers and destitute civilians will know. All that you need is a Heart and a Dollar. You surely have the one and with it the other is cosily obtained. Henry Van Dyke says: "Let us save in food, in service, in clothes, in luxuries—but not it money!" A good way to keep Christmas this year is to keep up with the Red Cross and make it n rich Christmas to our hearts. Penn State's campaign is early, and let us all aim to make a good start for the National campaign to follow. Let this college establish a record Then when you get home Jump into the fight with the home cluiptei of the Red Cross and make it go! Senior Associate Editor I=l Again we wish to call the attention of ourereaders to the enter tainment course, which will start next Saturday_ evening with the Russian Symphony Orchestra. The quality of the\ numbers which are scheduled, in addition to the extremely low price being charged, should enable every one to attend. At many places the Russian Orchestra alone can be heard for no less than from three to five dollars, while at Penn State the entire course of six numbers may be heard for but a dollar and a half. .Buetnens Manager Ath erasing Manager Another of the particularly attractive numbers is the lecture to be given by Ex-governor Hiram Johnson, of California, who is-a senator from that state . at present. The great demands made on all men who are prominent in national affairs is well known, and Penn Sate is especially fortunate in securing this man. Get in on the ground floor and buy your ticket today for_ the entire series. Your help is needed to make it successful. W. L. Mslor 1.9 V Gllktfeltur 'ID The wearing of the college cadet uniform away from the college campus and town is to be discouraged, unless some special college duty is designated. The display of the uniform at home during vacations is most undesirable to students in general, and does not necessarily reflect honor upon the college Student Council is to be commended upon its recent stand in this matter. A. R. LEINBACH ' Basketball, as a minor sport at Penn State, must be self-support ing. Yet if no more appear at future home games than the small crowd that turned out last Saturday evening, that enjoyable sport will be sent to the wall before the season is half over. A mere hand ful of supporters turned out for the Juniata game, and as a result -v'n a low guarantee could hardly be met by the management from the net gate receipts The team looks like a winner, help it along.
