CAMPAIGN FOR Y. M. C. A.
MEMBERS IS STARTED
"Reds" and "Blues" Work As Opposing
Units--Moral Support Especially
Desired
SMITH AND ROBB TO LEAD
• TEAMS OF 25 MEN IN DRIVE
it special campaign for new member:,
was slat ted by the Penn State Y M. O.
A. last evening with the i distribution of
r,folders descriptive of the Nvoi k of the
f organization, its ambition. and the way
{in which the student body is related to
. it. However, the Mat actual start was
given this morning in chapel, when
/ slant talks were given by 11. D. Robh
'l9, and C. C. Smith 'l9, who will cap
, tain the two opposing campaign tennis.
'Visits will be made by the members of
the ,teams headed by Robb and Smith
this and tomori ow evening at all the
fraternities and looming houses in the
'town
Each' team will be composed of
twenty-five men. and will have some
distinguishing, color. Hobbs team w ill
probably have red for their color, and
all members secured by them will be
given a red button. Similarly, Smith's
team will give out blue buttons to all
members secured by them. In this way
a considerable amount of iivalry will
doubtless be seemed. Two big ther
mometers will be installed at the main
entrance to the campus, the one with
_red and the other with blue ':mercury",
showing the progress of each team.
This campaign is the one that had
been planned for the middle of Octo
ber, which was interitipted by the War
Fund Campaign held at that time.
However, tins campaign is practically
the lame as the one planned at that
time. with the exception of the plans
already mentioned. The Purpose of the
campaign is not primarily to seem e
financial aid,—as a student may join as
an active member and pay no dues
Whatsoever In fact, theie ale no dues
at all according to the change iecently
made, but, although the moral support
of the student body is the main thing
deshed, any one so wishing may con
tribute any financial aid that he may
leer able -7 to 'afford The dues for an
associate membei ship remain the saint:
ad - hefore, at a dollar• and'a half.

The Association_ Work
That the Y. \1 C A. is doing an ex

recognized, but its actual scope and
field of endeavor may possibly not be
well known It is a matter of record
that most of the Sunday chapel—speak

by -the Association Among other
things, also, it has aided over five hun

upon arrival, distributed twenty-two
hundred "Freshman Bibles:" secured
employment for 476 students, net

"Jack" Homer In
French War Work
Penn State's student Y. M. C. A. is
again without a leader, owing to the
recent departure of John AI. Horner to
New York, on his way to the French
front as a war-work secretary
"Jack" came to State College last
February and has been an enthusiastic
worker during his stay here. He grad
uated in 'l5, was business manager of
the COLLEGIAN in 1914-15, and man
aged the 'varsity wrestling team during
his Senior year. After graduation, he
was the Y. Al. C. A. county sect etary for
Centre county until he came to Penn
State.
A successor for the position of sec
retat y has not yet been secured, but it:
is pi obable that Miles Hot st 'II, will
be m mulled upon to return again.
The Agricultui al Extension Depart
ment, under which he is working at
present, has consented to release him,
and the matter now tests upon his
decision.

Depai ung from the usual practice of

Thespians have this year decided to
Meson a farce comedy on the evening
of Marcia 16th. The comedy has not
yet been selected but will be chosen at
the next meeting of the club. Other

VARSITY AGAIN
DOWNS JUNIATA
Huntingdon Collegians Put Up
Hard Fight On Home Floor but
are Oht-played
_la the first game played away from
home this season, the Blue and White
'varsity basketball team was victorious
over .Rouita•a at Huntingdon last Sat
ui day night. The nnal score of the
game WAN 41 to 29, and it was not until
the final ten minutes that. the Penn
State five was enabled to run up a com
manding lead.
A peculiar feature of the score Ices
in the fact that it is ideritical with the
score of the Lehigh game played in the
Armoty earlier in the week. And if
anything, the game was more hotly
contested than was the contest with the
Blown and White. However, the 'var
sity thor6Ughly deserved the victory
and they out-played Juniata through
out the game
Without a doubt, the feature of the
game from the Penn State viewpoint
was the excellent foul shooting of Cap
tain Blakeslee. The Blue and White
leader showed a retui n to his form of
last year and in 22 attempts, he was
successful 18 times. lie missed two
baskets in each half, but in the second
period, he netted eight consecutive
'tosses. Ile was guarded too closely to

vise the Making of Ninety Per=
cent of this High Explosive
That Penn State has again contrib
uted her share towards winning the
world \Nal' for As,mocritcy was fully
demonstrated recently when it was
lea' ned that a number of graduates in
chemistry froth the college have entire
supervision over the manufacture of
almost the entire output of TNT, not
only in the United States,' but in cer
tain areas of Canada as well. This
explosive, TNT, (tri-nitt o : toluene, , made
by compounding nitric acid/with. tolu
ene) is regarded by army Mon who have
had years of experience along: this line
to be the most efficient and valuable
one which has been used in the war,
and to continue the successes of the
Allies, it iis r absolutely necessary that. an
unfailing supply lie manufactured.
Through Dean G. G. Pond. who has
kept in close touch with all the chem
ists he has graduated, information has
been received which shows that ninety
live per cent of the present output of - the
explosive is entirely produced by chem
ical plants supervised by State men.
rhese plants, live in number, are con
nected. directly or indirectly with the
largest and best-known powder com
, names in the country.
The Men and the firms with which
they ale employed are as follows:

WRESTLING MEET
NEXT SATURDAY
Preliminary Bouts Indicate That
i There • Will Be Keen Competi
tion Among Class Grapplers
Preliminary ti mls for the Interclass
Wrestling T\reet were held on both Fri
day evening and Satin day afternoon,
and those who have weathered the com
petition thus far will, in all probability.
represent' their classes in the meet
which will be held next Saturday alter
noon. The hour of the meet has been
changed ft om Friday evening to Satur
day afternoon because of the time that
will be involved in running the - affair,
and It Is scheduled to begin promptly at
thi ce o'clock.
'This will be the first big meet, of the
wrestling season, the Sophomore..-Presh
man meet having been the Dilly pre
vious anitir, and it is sure to create
m lath inttwest. It is quite probable that
all the men who will repiesent_ the
!Hue and White on the 'viirsity mat ffir
the coming season will be seen in ac
tion, its they will repiesent theli vat ions
classes in the meet.
'Pie preliminary trials have left the
folliming , men to light it out for the
various Senior weights: Gonzalez and
Reed( r in the 115-pound class, and
Neelan and Henry in the 175-pound
chic,, The following men have no fur
ther opposition* Horst, 125-pound class;
IteeJe. 135-pound class; Captain Long,
145-pound class; Shultz, 158-pound
class, and Czarnecki, in the heavy
weight class.
The Juniors have the following men
in competition: Craig and Babcock, in
the 125-pound class, while these have no
opposition. Fried, in the 115-pound
clas,; Lcete, in the 125-pound class;
Grovel, in the 145-pound class; Ackerly,
in" the 158-pound class; Terrill, in,
the 175-pound class, and Locke, in the
heavy Weight clasi;' The Sophomore
team will probably lin up in the follow
ing manner. Garber, in the 116-pound
chic,~; Dettar, in the 125-pound class;
Dale, in_the 135-pound class; Itobaugh,
ur the'l4s-pound class; Drown, in the
158-pound class; Spangler, in the 175-
pound class, and Riebe, in the heavy
weight class. .
Thy Freshmen are likely to have the
following men for their representation:
Watson, in the 115-pound class; Wil
liams, in the 125-pound class; Moore, in
the 135-pound class; Holmes, in the
145-pound class; Shaulls, in the 158 L
-pound mass;- Hayes, in the 175-pound
class, and Stubbs in the heavyweight
class.
This rneet,.will prove of mac:, thith'
oidimiry interest, as many of the men
have been shOwing 'up well and Promise
to,,make strong lights for the 'N'arsits,,
berths Garber, Gonzalez and Horst are
fightiag hard, in, the, 115-pound class.
1 . 4 m not.: , known definitely
whetherß
oNst , can make this weight,
but if he is able to do so he will furnish
strong opposition to the other compel.:
itois. Dotter and Leete in the 12p
pound weight will also furnish much
interest, and a good fight is predicted.
The 175-pound class will also furnish
close competition, with Neelan, Henry,
Spangler and Mack competing. How
ever, if Neelan succeeds in defeating
Henry. the fight is sure to center itself
between Spangler and Neelan.
It is generaly conceded that, the
Seniors will have the best representa
tion on the mat, but the Sophomores
cannot be overlooked as they have some
very promising men in Chute?, Dettar,
Drown and Spangler. The Freshmen
are also sine of taking their proper
place in the affah, as this will be their
second meet for Ithe season, and they
were highly complimented with the
iesults of the Soph-Freshman meet
Whatevei is said in advance is mere
speculation, as the results can only he
determined on Saturday afternoon.

;1875 REGISTER FOR
SECOND SEMESTER
What may bei considered a recoid
break enrollmen fm• a time when
war conditions exist, is the result of the
registration for the second semester.
up until last Monday, approximately
eighteen hundred and seventy-five ma
triculations were recorded.' This num
hes,meludes the two year agricultural
men and faculty members taking"ad
vanced work, but does not take the
Sho t born• men "intoconsideration. A
~ ignificant feature of the registration is
that up to yesterday, eleven freshmen
entered college. _
Considerable anxiety was felt on all
sales egarding what the registation
for the semester would be, but as will
be seen it compares favorably with the
enrollment at the beginning of the year,
when the enrollment totaled very close
to 2010. This represents a decrease of
but a hundred and thirty-five since
September. _
ALL-COLLEGE PLAY
BEING REHEARSED
Miss Margaret Baker,'lB, Is Author
of the Play—To Select Cast
Soon
Details for the all-college play which
will be given by the students during the
commencement celebration are being
carefully worked out, and in about a
week ieheatsels will begin under the
direct.on of the Public Speaking Depart
ment, with Professor Marshman and
Miss Mary Dunham In charge Trials
hale already been held for the cast of
diameters, but the selections have not
peen made as yet.
The scenery for the play will be
worked out by the Art Department of
the college, with Miss Ethel Sparks in
direct charge. She will design all the
stage settings, and is already at this
work The cast will include about thir
ty-five people, and the play will be- a
melo-drama. The Penn State Orchestra
will furnish the music for the occasion,
and Director W. 0. Thompson will have
charge of this phase of the play
The play that will be presented was
written by Miss Margarei' Baker, who
w a s a ; ;twicnt to the Liberal Arts
School, and who reeeiVed her tlegree of
Bachelor of Arts at“he recent mid-Nar
convocation. This is the first time that.
the all-college play was chosen from the
works of a Penn State student. The
writer of the play} is well knoWn to
Penn State students because ,of the
interi3retations and recitations which she
has given from time to time., -,There
are several slight changes in the, work,
but this will in no way atTect the,origi

At•the present time there is no great
er duty before the people of the United
States than the saving of dollars so the
govetnment may darty the 'war to a
successful conclusion. These is no
surer way otguarainteeing good results
than that of carting individual ex-.
penses and iffcre, ing our efficiency.
The task before u. now is, in a sense,
to produce more and to consume ,less.
But it would he still better to say that
we must produce things different from
those used in time's of peace, and that
to do this many comforts and luxuries
must be,toregone since we cannot sud
denly work twice as hard or as long.
Thrift, consequently, is the paramount
motto to be kept iri mind. It is impos
sible for reasons presently to be men
tioned, to maintain our accustomed
standard of living: without impairing
thereby the driving power of our war
machine. How much more shall we
have to pay if the war Is lost thru ex
travagance and in fference at this mo
ment?!

problem is not s knotty. Only two

ENLIST ENGINEERS
Trip to Harrisburg Unnecessary
—To Begin as Soon as Applica
tions are Returned
According to instructions recently re
ceived from Washington, Major Doylies
is ordei ed to enlist any accepted appli
cant, for the enlisted engineers' reserve.
Therefore, as soon as the afirilicatlons
begin to return, the commandant will
begin the induction of these men into
the service of the United States Govern
ment, to be placed on the inactive list,
however, until they graduate. This will
eliminate the necessity of the accepted
candidate going to Harrisburg to be en
listed.
Bevil applicant, who is accepted, will
receive notification from Washington
ordering him to report to Major Bay
lies for enlistment in the reserve corps
Whether a physical examination will be
required or not, and if the former is the
case, whether or not Dr. Ritenour will
conduct the examination is not definite
ly known. -The probability is that the
physical examination will be waived,
other than the cursory examination
given by Major Baynes.
No changes will be made for the next
few days at least in the military work
of the college. In order to facilitate the
min k, the 11. 0. T. C. and the Sopho
mores each are scheduled for two two
h6ur periods. The entire regiment is
scheduled for drill the last hour on
Monday afternoon. When the sched

the semester had not been decided upon,
and extensive outdoor work had been on
the program for the spring Military
work, hut naturally little outside work

the end of April. However, in a shot t
time, or as soon as the winter agri
cultural courses end, the Stock Judging
Pavilion will be available for the after
noon classes, and bayonet and other
work of a similar nature will be under
taken.
Next Monday afternoon, Dean Blais

Dr. Boucke in Second of War
he Sooner the War Will End
wars paid from savings during war, and
not from savings of the past? The
answer is: Because in times of peace we
produce goods that are for the most
part unfit for military uses, and because
modern - wars require an amount of
highly specialised wealth that no nation
has on hand when hostilities open.
One needs only to look at our foreign
trade figures, at the value of goods we
have furnished our Allies, In order to
see what is needed - in limes of war.
Vast - quantities of ammunition, guns.
hospital supplies, building stuffs, ships,
food and fodder, clothing and equip
ment for transportation and communi
cation are used up that before the war
we either didn't produce at all, or in
much smaller ;amounts. Furthermore,
there is a tei rible wear and tear on ma
terials, loss and waste, destruction by
the enemy, or depreciation on account
of constant improvements. flow are
we to make good these extra demands?
What is the logical way of meeting the
emergency?
All our great national wealth consists
either-of goods unfit for present pur
poses—such as houses, subways, land
used for building sites, personal belong
ings, forests, canals and highway im
provements, public edifices, factories,
parks, and means of communication—or
of assets like tillable land and mines,
etc., that can be made to yield war
supplies only after labor and time are .
spent upon them. 'We can't strip our
selves of all our annual earnings
in order to satisfy the government.
Some things we must keep to live, such
as a minimum of food, clothing, shelter
• in homes, etc., etc. But on the other
hand, just because so much of our
national income during peace is un
suited to war It, becomes imperative to
save the more while the war goes on.
Ships Now Necessary
IVe can produce a little more by
working longer hours, by !hitting all idle
hands to work, even by employing
women in Industry, and by Improving
personal proficiency, and our machines.

...
A war-time schedule of six games, all
of them" at home; and with the Pitt
Freshmen as the stellar attraction, has
been arranged for next year's Freshman
football eleven. The schedule,' which
has Just recently been completed by
Graduate-Manager 11. H. Smith, also
embraces games with Bloomsburg
Normal, Indiana Normal, Wyoming
Seminary, Bellefonte Academy and
Mansfield Normal.
Because of the uncertainty in athlet
ics which has been caused by the war, it.
was decided to limit the schedule to six
games this year, all of them to be
played on New Beaver Field. Fresh
man football never pays for itself finan
cially at Penn State, even in normal
times, and it was foi this reason that
the expenses have been cut to a

The playing of five 'varsity gamei

ORDNANCE COURSE
Applicants Must Pass Physical
Exam and Enlist Before Begin
ning 'the Course
Lieut. J. 0. Keller of the Department
of. Industrial Engineering who was re
cently commissioned in the Ordnance
Reserve Corps, returned on Sunday
from NVashington where he has been
confers ing with the authorities concei n
ing the next Ordnance Course, which
is to begin on January 30th The men
applylzw for this course will be given
a physical examination and will be
sworn Into the service here. Lieut.
Keller will act as a recruiting officer,
but an army surgeon will probably be
here to take charge of the physical ex
amination of the men. Those who pass
the examination and ale accepted will
immediately be given unifoi ms.
About one hundred men have al
ready applied for aduhission. Of this
number, it is expected that some will be
rejected on account of physical disabil
ity, but enough other applications are
expected to bring the total up to one
hundred,_ which is the maximum num
m -
het of en to be admitted.
The Ordnance Course has been stand
aidixed throughout the country, and
hereafter the same subjects will be
taught in all colleges in which this
work has been taken up. The next
course will lie similar to the one now in
progress except that the subjects of
_Company Administration and Financial
()potations will be omitted. These will
he taken up later when the men have
reached the arsenals to which they will
be sent upon the completion of their
course here.
The course compt ises ninety hoots of
Scientific Stores I fondling Methods,
eighty hours of Ordnance Property Ac
countability, this ty-six hoot s of Infan
try Drill, fifteen hours of Administra
tion of Vield Ordnance Depots, ten
hours of Army Organization, six of
Military Law, five of Military Cm res
pondence and four of the Principles of
Accounting, making a total of 246
hours fot the whole coulee.
The new plan Weis many advantages
over the old one. Men who have taken
the other courses have run the chance
of being refused admission to the Ord
nance Corps, because they were not
able to pass the lequired physical ex
amination.
At a meeting of the Senior cheer leaders and 'varsity cap
tains last Friday evening, five of the men who are trying out for
the position of Head Cheer leader for next year, were chosen
from the staff of contestants, to continue as Junior assistant
cheer leaders for the balance of the year. Accordig to the new
cheering'system adopted last fall, a Head Cheer leader for next
year will be chosen from this number at the annual Athletic
Association elections near the close of this year. Since the
selection is to be made by popular vote, all students will do
well to make their choice as they see the men in action at the
basketball games and wrestling meets during the balance of
the winter. The five Juniors chosen are:
0. L. Baublitz, G. W. Eichelberger, J. H. Lucas, F. H. G.
-Forsythe, and F. C. Auch. Candidates for song leader are yet
to be chosen from the Glee Club membership.
