WEEKLY FRENCH LESSON;;
This is the Introduction to the Series of SixteemLessons in Elementary
French that Will Be Printed Weekly in' These Columns—They are
Supplied by the French Bepartmeig of the College and are Con
sidered
,to be of Great Value to All College Students
ADVANTAGES TO BE DERIVED FROM R. 0. T. C. FRENCH
In speaking of the "COLLEGIAN" Frenth lessons, Dr. Foster says:—
•There may be some who will puestion the value of a course of this sort,
but, upon closer inspection, it will easily justify itself. For those familiar with
the language it will serve as an easy and practical review. For those who have
no knowledge of the subject it will_ prove a useful method of becoming ac
quainted with its peculiarities. For a soldier it will lay a foundation for a
kind of intellectual development which will stand him in good stead when he
comes in contact with the French people. For an officer it has come to be
recognized that some ability in the speaking of French will be an indispensable
requisite for promotion, especially at the front. This. course, brief and to the
past, and freed from the usual tiresome detail of grammar and syntax to a
great degree, will put the student into immediate, vital touch with the lan
guage as a medium of thought expression. If this is carefully mastered; it will
be enough to help a person to meet the requirements of ordinary conversation
in the routine of daily life." .

FRESHMEN TO PLAY
BELLEFONTE ACADEMY
The Freshman basketball quintet is
scheduled to travel to. Bellefonte this
evening to play a return game with the-
Academy five. While the game played
here several weeks ago was more or
less of a walk-away for the yearlings,
this evening's contest promises closer
competition. Bellefonte is a hard team
to beat on its own floor, and the Fresh
-men vtill have to play even better than
they did in the former game. Their
line-up will probably be the same as
that which started the last inter-class
game.

Why . 11 - ; Should Get-Together
I Of the many reasons as to wlly we
should "get-together", there -are two
1 which are most prominent and which
rshonld influence to the greatest extent
the actions and attitude of the studeiit
body.`,These two reasons, or motives
'.are, (1) selfish or personal reasons, and I
F(2) loyalty, resect, and admiration for
our college to ouch an extent thai
nothing, will be left undone which will
express our gratitude for the priceless
edtication and<broadening-out we are :
:,getting.
It is or should be the object of every
student :to fit himself, in all possible
ways, for the time when he must go out
in the . world and make >or break,
be of some consequence, or .not,
according at his general make-up is
big or little (it being taken for granted 1
that his technical knowledge is on a
par with the average). Of course in
this day of keen competition it is prac
tically impossiblet& make "good" with
out a thorough technical knowledge or
training in the special line of work in
which the particular student is in
terested. But the ability to go still
higher, to be a leader (which is one of
the chief aims of a college) depends not
only on technical skill, but upon the
ability to be a good "mixer", the ability
to be able to say and present ideas in a
forceful manner to public gatherings,
the cultivation of the habit of looking
lon both sides of a question, and in gen
eral upon personality. In last week's
COLLEGIAN were published a few of
the obServationS• made by Dr. Sparks
during his lecture tour of Camp Meade
I and Camp Dix. Some of these "hit
home" so hard that no one can afford
missing them.
OFeil to All
••••
From the plan as outlined, this "mix-
ing" and this personal gain is open to
every student and no one should- let
such an opportunity pass even though
it were not for the second reason as to
why we should "get-together?'
This second reason is the duty we owe
our college. One of the biggest obli
gations which we take upon ourselves
as students of Penn State is that of up
holding the , good name of the college.
We all knoll - that a student is looked
upon as a product and as being typical
of the particular school from - which he
corned. Therefore, our actions away
froin and at college should be such as
to reflect merit only upon Penn State.
The only way in which such a condition
can exist is to have at all times a fine,
true. democratic spirit among the stu
dents, which -in turn can \ only be when
every one takes a hearty interest in all
college activities, when clean sport is de
manded. when college customs ancl_tra
ditions are looked-up to. This means
that old men (upper-classmen) must at
all times be, ay word and action, good
examples for new men to folio*. -
When the committee announces, defi
nitely, their plans and time at which
the prog — ram is to be held, let's all
"jump in" and make it a "go." For
those few days let: our slogan be "I
know-every-man-in-college." If we all
are able to say • this - we can have the
secret slogan "Every-one-In-college
knows-me."

spree. it is a sincere and serious effort,
earnestly conceived, well-organized and
well-direct d. toward developing one of
the finest and most- degirable"frlnts of
college, life. It-is aimed at making ac
qua intiAncesipand developing _these
into friendships. .It will make college
spirit mean comaraderie. It will psi--
meate the - student body. with fellow
ships and make more than one lonely
fellow feel he has heen ad6pted into a
family of blood-brothers. It will add
something invisible to every :`diploma;
something only the holder can himself
understtuld"but which he will feel every
time he looks upon the symbol of.dhis
college course.
"Did I say the course is open to
everybody? It is, There are no en
trance re.luirements except one:_a man
must enter. He .must...,_enter into the
spirit of the occasion. He must do his
part. He must meet the. other fellow
half-way. He must be one of the crowd,
not a spectator. In order to be a sharer,
he must be a giver. What ever he puts
in he will draw out with interest. Let
every man in Old Penn State invest
himself. his whole self and nothing but
himself in this "campaign for college
comradeship.-_
MANY COLLEGE MEN
TAKING ORDNANCE
The work in' the - new Ordnance
Course which started last Wednesday
is now well under way. Contrary to ex
pectations, the men taking the course
will not be given uniforms until they
have finished the work here and have
gone to some arsenal ror further in
struction, The great amount of office
work involved in getting .unifgrms here
and the lack of storing facilities, make
it impossible for 'the men to be supplied.
Those who take up the next course will
probably be sent to some moblization
camp to be equipped before they come
here.
About 440 men applied for admis
sion to the course, but it was limited
to 100. ° Of those examined, nine were
rejected on account of physical disabil
ity. Heart trouble, defective eyesight
or hearing, and lung trouble were: the
causes of the rejections. Shop work
and French, two subjects_which were
taken up in the other courses have been
dropped from the standardized sched
ule now in effect in this and all other
ordnance schools throughout the coun
try.
