Twenty colleges were represented at the meeting of the College
,Presidents' Association of Pennsylvania held in Harrisburg last Fri
day,' at which President E. E. Sparks was present, representing Penn
State. This is one of the largest meetings of the association that has
";ever been held, and - much important discussion took place with re
ispeet to the work of the colleges during the war.'
The result of the meeting was a set of resolutions that were for
mally adopted by the association to be valid during the duration( of
:the war; and which-will be rigidly enforced by every college that is a
member of the association. These resolutions were prompted by the
condition of national affairs and by the belief that they voice public
sentiment.

Thespians to Give
Popular Comedy
In accordance with the ecent
ion to produce a farce comedy thied
season instead of the customary musical ,
show,. the Thespians met last Monday
and decided upon the farce "It Pays to
Advertise," for the annual presentation
on Moch 16th, This comedy is one of
the most popular and successful of the
late theatrical productions, having en
joyed long stays in all the principal
cities of the country, including a run in,
New York of over a year at the Cole
Theatre.
The play is one of three acts and it
owes with it a cast of eight men and
four women The story is that of a
iealthy eon's adventures in a chance
business career which is undertaken
because of a wager which his fond par-1
ent has placed upon Ins ability to make
good. A monster advertising campaign I
is the means by which the resourceful
hero seeks his fot tune and, after a
great public success, he finds himself
the possessor of a valuable tiade-mark
of N‘hich he disposes; winning at once
a foi tune, a girl and a parental blessing.
''lt Pays to Advertise" V.as written
by Roi Cooper Megrue and Walter
Hackett and was first pi educed under
the management of Samuel Forrest in
1914 at the (leolge M. Cohan Theatre,
New York City. The show remained m

Blue and White Five Victorious In
Exciting Game—Blakeslee and
Lellov Star
In What several spectators termed
"the most interesting game since the
Syracuse game of last year," the Penn
State basketball team defeated the Car
lisle Indians in the Armory last
Saturday night The final score
of 42 to 27 must about shows the
iclative strength of the two teams, but
it fails to indicate the Sensational floor

the Blue and White 'varsity.
The game was one of the fastest and
cleanest that has been seen in the
Ai mei y for some time. The Redskins
played apparently for the - sheer -de
light of- playing' and While 'they fought
desperately to :win,- the game was abso
lutely free from any'signs of roughness.
While there were seventeen fouls called
on the, visitors, they were for technical
violations of the mules.
'The•game was more or less of a walk
away for Penn State in the first half,
and the Indians could not seem to get
started. However, in the second period
they Just about held their own with
Captain Blakeslee's aggregation; al
though it must be admitted that ,this

scored nine field goals for his team and
strange us it may seem, he also scored
a two-pointer for the Indians. This
was one of the most peculiar plays
ever seen in the Armory, and it was one
rarely seen on any floor
The play occurred late in the second
half, when the ball was down near the
Indians' basket. The referee called for
a toss-up i fight under the goal, and
Blakeslee, in endeavoring to bat the ball
toward one of the State players, tipped
it into the basket. ,On two other occa
sions during the half, Blakeslee batted
the ball into his own basket.
Leßoy is-Sensational
While the work of Blakeslee stood out
pre-eminently for Penn State, it was
hardly as sensational as that of Leßoy,
the big Indian center. The latter was
Just about two-thirds of the offensive
strength of his team, as his total of

DR. SPARKS GIVES
CAMP OBSERVATIONS
Offers Advice to Both Those Who
Expect to be Called and to Those
Who Do Not
t
Upon his return from his lecture tour
of Camp Meade and Camp Dix, Presi
dent Sparks Was asked to point out the
impoi tant points in his observations
while at the camps, and to give any ad
vice that would be of service to the
students who may soon be called to
camp or even to those who will not.
Accordingly, he has drawn up the fol
lowing brief summary of points that
should be observed:
"11y opening experienCe in the can
tonments was so short that I hesitate
to take advantage of the, invitation of
the COLLEGIAN to give
,any advice
Later impressions may Change my mind
but present thoughts run as follows
"No students should omit any oppor
tunity of gaining a commission. The
difference in every daY life of a private
and an officer as to. companions and
privileges warrants every effort look
ing to that end.
'Gaining a commission depends partly
on mental naming abut more On gen
eral attitude. A student should every
day imagine himself an officer and reg
ulate Iris attitude of walking, of stand-,
mg aiid of sitting with that' in .mind
Ile should cultivate habits‘- .. of respect
to all superior officers, of carefulness to
rise «hen another rises; not to sit in
his presence without request, to say
"Sin " ni i eply to another•, and to obey
urdei s implicitly. The little - things
fie_quently count
"No student should omit any kind of
military exercise,'whether drill, lecture
or le,son, which will Alive him larkei
intormatam on military affairs. Noth
ing is so unimportant or dull that it
may not some day he of•use. The com
petition in the -camps is sevei e and is
based wholly on merit.
_ "Students sholud remain in college as
long as possible The experience of
Ann: 'IS, as related in last week's COL
LEGIAN is that of many others who
cannot get into examinations for ad
vancement without a college degree. I
met a number_of such cases in camp.
"Above all, every student should culti

responsible for the war but he must do

Austria was driven out of Get many

was thus deprived of her two ancient

however, and by the Treaty of Berlin,

A Great Mishike
The Treaty of Berlin is the starting
point of present clay international re

exhibited by Germany, Austt la-Hun
gary, and Great Britian. So, too, was
Bulgaria, which bad undoubtedly failed _
to receive all the territory which was
inhabited chiefly by Bulgarians.;What
ever one may say of the excessiVe am
bitions of Russia at this time. certain
ly the return of so much territory to
Turkey was one of the greatest mis
takes ever made by European diplo
mats As long as it remained in the
hands of the Turks it would be made
the subject of endless international in
trigue. Great Britain need fear Rus
sia's wrath only in Asia, but, lest Rus
sia should again take up the gauntlet
in favor of her kinsmen and co-re
ligionists, Germany and Austria-Hun
gary straightway buried their ancient
rivalry and formed the first of the alli

When Aust.! la-Hungary took change

but always „with the idea of rooting

NOT TO BE EXEMPT
Contrary to the report that Seniors
in the It. 0 T C. would be exempt
from draft, Major liayhes has just re
cently i eceived official notice from the
War Department that this provision
has been modified. - :According to the
new ruling, a Senior in the a 0. T. C
who is called by the draft, may notify
the War Department and arrangement
will be made with the local board to
permit him to attend an officers' train

mission if he shows a sufficient amount
of ability.
The work of the R. 0. T. C. has been
going along in the accustomed manner
during the past week. The question of
the summer camp has again been
brought up, due to the fact that so
many of the members ate desirous of
obtaining employment for the summer
but can do nothing until there is some
definite arrangement about the camp.
Major Baylies is desirous of having the
men decide upon a timo that would be
most acceptable to the majority, and he
feels that if this time were specified to
the War Department, there would be
little difteulty is arranximg matters.
PLAN GET-TOGETHER
FOR ALL STATE STUDENTS
Three Day Program of Events Will
Enable College Men to Become
Better Acquainted
NOVEL FUNFEST IN ARMORY
WILL CLOSE NEW FEATURE
After weeks of consideration and planning on the part of Student
Council members, everything is now in readiness for the launching in
the near future of n ) big Penn State ''Get Together." Committees
have have already started work on preparing an elaborate three-day
program of events, the like of which has never before been attempted
in this college.
Born on the all too evident fact that outside interests this year
have caused the "college spirit" to fall off to a great extent from what
it has been in previous years, the idea ha,s met with approval on all
sides. In brief, it is proposed to conduct the series of planned events
in such a manner as to allow every student an opportunity to widen
his circle of acquaintances. It is to be a week of "Getting Acquainted."
Roughly, the plans now call for
'general assembly of all students in Old
Chapel on the Thursday evening of the
chosen week-end. There will piobably
be talks at that time by leaders in
various college activities, leading up to
an address on the value of a wide ac
quaintanceship among college men, by
a prominent member of the college ad
ministration. In the absence of Presi
dent Sparks. Dean Holmes will m ob
ably undertake this part.
_ It has been suggested that at this
meeting each man he given a tag up
on which he shall write his name, year
and course, and he is to wear it on
his coat lapel (luting the two
ing days of the mogiam. This bill
seive a ',aluable purpose on Friday
and Saturday when it is proposed that
each student enter into the spirit of the
occasion and make himself acquainted
with as ninny others its possible.
Something "big" is planned for the
Friday night portion of the in ogram,
_nnd details for this will be announced
later Suffice it to say that the plans
call for a grand good time:
Y. M. C. A. CAMPAIGN:
PROVES SUCCESS
Nine Hundred Fifty-seven Mem
bers Sign Up—" Reds" Win By
Large Majority
The Y. E. C A. Student Memberbsip
Cfunpaign, which began last Wednesday
morning in Chapel and ended Friday
evening at seven o'clock, resulted in a
grand total of 957 members. Of this
number, 554 were secured by the "Red"
side, led by H. D. Robb 'l9, and 403 by
the "Blue" side, led by G. C. Smith 'l9.
About 500 are entirely new members.
Approximately 550 have signified their
intention of being active members, and
275 are classified in the associate list.
In money, a total of 3660.20 was secured
from the campaign.
Y. Ai' C. A. 1 1 , : ier'state . thZtt the cam
paign was the most successful one
which the college has ever had. They
attribute to two reasons for this suc
cess, first, because of the competition,
with two popular college men as the
leaders, and second because the work
was planned and carried out solely_ by
students.
The men on the teams who did the
canvassing were as follows:

Syracuse, Colgate and Lehigh Will
Test Penn State Five—Prfth
man Team To Take Trip

undefeated flue and White baekstball
team leaves on Re first trip of the
season this afternoon, going . directly to
Syracuse, whei e they will play the first
game tomorrow Only three games are
scheduled on tide trip and it will wind
up on Saturday night at South Bethle
hem when Lehigh will he played a re
turn gcme. Colgate will be played on
nalay night.
Syracuse is always represented by a
strong cage team, as those who were
fortunate enough to witness the battle
.n the At mory last year will testify.
The Penn State five expects its hardest
game of the season against the Salt
City collegians.
Colgate is also repotted to have a
strong team, but they should not both
er Penn State to any great extent. The
game,with Lehigh will undoubtedly be
htudet than the one played here early
in the month, for the Brown and White
aggregation will _ have its strongest
team on the floor—which was not the
case in the game played here. Penn
State will be represented by the same
team that has_ started the last three
games, although several substitutes

I get into some of the games.

What Do You Think of This
"Getting Acquainted"
Stunt?
PRICE FIVE CENTS
Date Undecided
A gr eat deals depends upon whht
he "going on" about college on tlis
corning Saturday night when it comes
to deciding upon the date frir the series
of events. The armory will be the scene
of the "wind-up" on a Saturday even
ing. While the no date has as yet been
decided upon for the week-end events,
an- attempt will be made to have the
final "big time" fan on all evening when
there is an impoi tant wrestling meet
scheduled.
All Kinds of Stunts
Following the meet-these will be a
series of vaudeville 'stunts, exhibition
boxing and wrestling matches; glee
club, quartet and band selections, and
humorous antics of all kinds in which
student talent will aim to present
nothing less interesting than a full
fledged thre'e t ing circus.
Detailed plans ale still in the making
for the events. Before the holidays a
Student Council committee was in
structed to look into the matter
thoroughly and Avise upon chances for
holding - a "getting acquainted" pettod,
not only for the benefit of getting stu
dents better known to one another, but
also as a means of reviving the vanish
ing college spirit in the face of over
pow ing unrest caused by the war events.
The committee is composed of U. A.
Billie 'ls, chairman, H. D. Robb 'l9, and
.1. A. Sallade 'l9. They have been Bl
att noted to appoint a suflicient num
ber of sub-cbtnmitteemen from all
classes, and the swot k will begin to as
sumo definite proportions this week.
The committee made its final report
to Council at the iegular meeting last
week, and the outline of events re
ceived the 0. K. of that body. The
carrying out of the program is now in
the hands of the representative com
mittee that will be selected.
Who'll Wrestle Zerney
To date, members of the committa
have received great encouragement in
then• eftorts to present a pleasing enter
tainment for the Saturday night part of
the program. Some vaudeville sketches
have already been "booked" for the oc
casion. It. F. Henney 'l9, generally
conceded to be the "handiest" man for
his weight with the boxing gloves about
college is willing to issue a challenge to
"all coneers" Czarnecki will go to the
wrestling mat with any one who offers,
and there should be a wealth of mater
ial on hand for all kinds of entertain
ment. This part of the "get together"
should prove by far to be the most in
teresting.
No stone will be left unturned by
those fostering the idea in making it a
big success. The biggest obstacle now
is deciding upon a suitable date and thin
will be done in the near future. It is
desired that the - events he staged an
soon as possible.
REHEARSALS HAVE BEGUN
FOR "ALL COLLEGE" PLAY
Under the supervision of Miss Mary
Dunham and Professor John T. Marsh
man, of the Public Speaking Depart
ment, the "All-College Play" rehearsals
have already begun, and will continue
indefinitely. The competitors for the
various leads are working hard to win
out, as about two candidates are com
peting for all the leading parts. The
name for the play has not yet been
chosen, buVhis will be done in the near
future, and the names of those who will
compose the cast will soon be announc
ed. The play will no given during the
commencement celebration, b , .f. a da•, -
has not yet been definitely decided upon.
It is understood, however, that the play,
which was written by a Penn State stu
dent, Miss Baker, will surpass all ex.,
pectatiens.
