Immediately after the close of the present semester a number of students of the School of Agriculture will take a few day's training and then they will aid in the Instruction of the boys who come here from the cities; and they will become camp leaders when the boys leave her e for the farms. 18 10 .1 9 19 1 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 The object in bringing these young men here is threefold. First, it is hoped to develop them physically and make them better able to stand the work which they will be called upon to do when they get out on the farms; second they will be taught some of the funda mental principles of farm practice, so that they will not be as incompettent as wei 0 so many of the city lads who went onto farms last spring, and third, the proper attitude toward the work will be instilled into them. They will be shown what they do on the farm is just as patriotic as the work which their older brothers ai e doing in the training camps or in France. Upon the completion of the two week's course here, the boys will be sent to farms in various parts of the state where the need is gi eatest. While on t lve farms they will live in real camps.

This year, as in previous years, we first appealed to the student body through one of its leading repre sentative:; then, after a, particularly marked incident of dthorder during which some property was destroyed and children in the audience, were en dangered,' we made an appeal through a leading college official to the Student Board and were informed that the Student 13oai d advised an appeal to the various classes through their presidents All of these perservering efforts having failed we approached several leading students personally regarding the mat ter asking them Wally to refrain from any practices that would disturb the en joyment of other visitors to the theatre who had paid their money and had full right to the privilege of seeing the play undisturbed. "All of these efforts covered several months, and were all based upon the theory that an appeal to the fairness and gentlemanliness of the student body would succeed. "However, It wag asserted by some students that they did not know that better order was desired. Therefore, in OrdCr to furnish this information and in order to make our position absolutely clear, we made the announcement on the back of Saturday's program Made An Issue "Contrary to what we expected and hoped, we wei e informed from various sources that the students had deter mined to make this an issue and would visit the theatre with the firm deter mination not only to promote disorder but to carry the issue to the extreme. We Avere further Informed on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, that the situ ation would be critical, Nutt efforts would be made to destroy our business enth ely, even if necessary, with the de struction of property. Color was given to these reports by the disorder on Monday evening and by the shout of "boycott" raised on two distinct occa sions. Finally we were Informed that Wednesday evening, February thir teenth, was the evening chosen by a group of people who had thoroughly determined upon their plan to break up the performance by noise, disorder and any other means in their power, and were advised by some to secure police protection. "Under these circumstances we were placed in the most difficult position imaginable; We "did not know how much faith to put In these reports. If they were true and we took no steps to protect ourselves our business would be rumed'- , 41' they were not true and we ' took steps to protect ourselves it might precipitate deep unpleasantness. We knew that then e was no police protec tion available in the town to prevent the raid. Therefore, we made the only other appeal we could. We asked that state police be sent on that evening in plain clothes, quietly to take their IYour Friends Can , .........,....-- , ,-.---J Buy Anything You Give Them Except Your, Photograph I THE MITH S TUDIO R. H. BREON 122 East College Ave. PENN STATE 'COLLEGIAN places in the audience and in case noth ing happened to remain quiet. This we did because we had no desire in any way whatsoever unnecessarily to irri tate the large number of the student body who were wholly innocent of any disorderly intentions. However, ajsen sible desire for common safety not only for our own property but for the lives and limbs of innocent spectators com pelled us to take these precautions. This we were compelled to do by our respon sibilities to the public and the State. Had any one been injured and had we taken no proper precautions for their protection we could have been held liable by law and prosecuted In the courts. Knoning all this, we undertook to prevent what the public/the college and the student body themselves would want to prevent and we undertook to prevent it in the kindest and wisest way possible. Appear In Uniform However, and this is the point we wish especially to emphasize, because it Is the key to all succeeding difficulties, some things were beyond our jurisdic tion. The officers not only appeared late but appeared in uniform, upon instruc tions of their superior officers. Im mediately the students in the theatre rose in a body and left the building.. Everybody is familiar with the overt acts which followed. We endeavored to do nothing more than maintain peace and order. The state police were in structed by us merely to stand guard and to terrain in e'very way from any actions that would in any \Nay ptecipi tate further trouble. Even when the student body illegally gathered in front of the theatre and obstructed the public highway nothing was done. When they further illegally attempted to or ganize a boycott and march through the town it was endured. And further when a small group returned at midnight and entered the lobby of the theatre with an intention which could only be guess ed, still no arrests were made at our solicitation. However, the retuin of these few students In the middle of the night eleaily convinced us in our minds that the reports concerning the raid which had reached us had some founda tion in fact, and seemed to be...evidences of a clear determination to carry out the threats which had been communi cated to us that our business was to be destroyed and our pi operty put In jeopardy. "The next morning the signs painted and placed on the campus clearly can ting for a boycott, the signs In the town and especially the defacement of our store, convinced us further that the evil intentions were not. limited to the theatre alone but wei c intended to in volve our other business and holdings as well That convinced us that the time for hesitation had passed.

Even then, though we might have lodged complaint against many men, upon more serious charges, we selected only three most active in the affair and lodged complaint against them. These men acre accordingly arrested. What ever the effect upon the student body was. o• however unjust this action may have appeared to them to he, quiet fol lowed. Stay Proceedings "As soon as we were convinced that the seriousness of the whole situation was appreciated by the Student body, and that they had reached a determination not to forwaid the plans of desti uc tion which were said to have been for mulated by a few, we expressed our selves to be quite ready to stay pro ceedings. "Overtures Mei e made to the counsel of the three students arrested, and by his suggestion conferences were held' and the proceedings against the stu dents stopped... We dal it because we were fully assured that the past actions of these students Were repented of and Met e to be condoned; and fa' thei we were assured that in ,the future every effort would be made to-maintain good order. Therefote, the practical issues, as far as we are concerned, ar•e settled. "The thud issue, however, remains That is the feeling aroused in the stu dent body by the actions which they saw. Our motives and pm poses in these actions, as far as we controlled them, ue believe have been wholly misunder stood. We have not, as we showed above, been precipitate in our appeal to the law. We have been patient and long suffering. We have used and have exhausted every means we had at hand; we have not asked for money reim bursements for the propel ty damage, we have always endeavored to under stand and to satisfy students' tastes in matter of plays, by giving them high toned classic productions The fi ee use of our theatre with its equipment for certain educational films, the al lowance of benefits for cot tam student activities, and other familiar• actions, we need not call up at this moment. They are sufficiently known and ne feel cei are appreciated by those who enjoyed their benefits. Finally, we reiterate, that when we Mere moved by what we considered justifiable fens for the safety of the public and our own business, to an appeal for adequate pro tection, we made that appeal and at tempted to carry that protection into effect in a way that would cause the least irritation and would cast the very least i eflection upon innocent spectators After the Movies TRY OUR SUNDAES They Always Satisfy Rexall .
