GENTLEMEN
Character building and the development of personality are the
biggest things that a college man can obtain from his four years of
training in an institution of higher learning The attainment of
these characteristics on the part of a college men is frequently
inferred to by prominent educators as being on a par with, or
wen superior to the knowledge gained from class room and text
book. 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!

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.

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.

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.
