Last Thursday at one o'clock, Penn State again became an aca demic institution instead of a military training camp, and with the disbanding of the S. A. T. C., the college once again assumed condi tions that approached the normal routine. And now, after two years or more of war conditions and excuses, the college must stand firmly on its own feet and show that it can and will survive. The Student Army Training Corps was too short-lived to demon strate its worth, for it had hardly been• organized when the order for demobilization came. However, it was proved beyond all measure of doubt that it is an impossibility to combine academic work with the military training that was advocated. Assuming that the peace terms will soon be settled, as they un .dcllbtecily will, it is only natural that we should look toward the 4enilt4 that are to be derived from this great struggle for democracy— ttAirerthe-kreater, broader aspect of everything that is bound to fol- Yrii COLLEWAN believes that along with the fall of autocracy •should be the.fall of political intrigue and of petty politics. All ,of -thich may seem foreign to the subject of Penn State and reiiiist a dobably wonders why it is mentioned. But is it not just e at our Alma Mater, we also have a form of political `the present time tending to undermine ;he founda- Ld to prevent the progrps that Penh' State ? Se-belei7i that it is not only possible possible that h, intrigue which is tions of the colleg e, should undoubtedly be mg but highly probable. ' This is not a new development but it has been gradually grow ing, under the protection of that time-worn excuse "because of the war." During the past three or four years, there has been a con spicuous lack of harmony at Penn State which we believe could not be entirely blamed on the ever-ready "wta." There has been more or less discord in the faculty for some time, and the COLLEGIAN believes that it is due to nothing less than petty politics. The same thing may be said abotit colleges that is said about people—they cannot mark time; they must either advance or retreat. A college is in many respects like a great machine. It is composed of many parts,-eachtu tta- own usatere, but which would clog theVachinery if it were to be changed about or some oth,. .}.ner e. Smqothness is essential to good work, and smoothness in a co llege , can only be obtained when every one is working in harmony with every one else. The COLLEGIAN believes that it would not be living trust if it did not try to point out what it believes to be tin obstacle to the advancement of our Alma Mater. We are al prone to pat ourselves on the back, point out our good qual gloss over the evils which, unfortunately, do exist. We are state first, last and all the time, but we do want to make 01 One that will approach the ideal, so let's all get busy. Nearly every vacation brings up the same old question manly courtesy and consideration to tho,woman students 0, lege in so far as transportation from the trains is concern, every time, this courtesy is highly conspicuous—by its abser men make one mad rush for busses, cars, trucks or when be available, and the girls, being less familiar with the gem of football and less versed in the art of the pushball scrap, to wait for the second trip. We are glad to say that at the close of the vacation Jul at least some of the girls were able to get seats and to make trip—due chiefly to the fact that there were fewer fell, usual. Each year, the plea has been made that the old rule first"-be observed, but it never is. Of course, we under: individual man's viewpoint. It is simply this:—"Well, use of my hanging back, the rest of the fellows are going ahead and the girls won't get seats anyhow." And this is , csTiFect. However, the COLLEGIAN believes that the colloe.ffige to do ‘omething in. this tr tewoio—p-oss. arrangt at least - Ti e DUS reserved especially for the girls, and to ha, to that effe.t placed on it, it would certainly help the situat, chief draw -back is that the bus drivers prefer to take the fel cause they can crowd more in on a single load, but the COLT believes that if one man were given the sole privilege of Iran the girls, that it could be arranged. • At least, it is worth con: THE COLLEGIAN REVIVED After a lapse of three months, while the college was tu rule of the military authorities, the COLLEGIAN has once nn to press and the publishing board hopes that it will contim so throughout the balance of the year. We were sorry that ct would not permit publishing the paper sooner, but even , are greasy handicapped because of a much reduced staff. Evi is being overworked, but we will do our best to give our subscribers a paper that is worthy of Penn State. Unfortunately, subscriptions are necessary if the paper is to continue, and we trus that if ou have not already subscribed, you will fill out the co pon s on the fro y nt page. If you have, fill it out for someone else. WHY should innocent people be made to suffer for something for which they are not responsible? That is a question which has Listen asked repeatedly since the raid on one of the merchants of the town last November. Thirty or forty students, actuated solely by selfish motives, got away with a large quanity of material,-the bir for which was rightfully turned over tp the college. And what is the result? Each class is taxed to cover the bill, and the majority 1 of the students who were innocent, have to pay their share. How 1 long are we going to permit a few thoughtless students to give us all a black eye?

At the beginning of the present term those in charge started work on this year's issue but the organ ization of the S. A. T. C. brought every thing to a standstill. Just before Christ mas, wmk was resumed and the pros pects are that this year's LaVie trill be up to standard in every way. Letters have been sent out to every member of the Junior class who is not in college asking for pictures and many of these men are already being heard from. As a large number of Juniors are expected to re-enter conga at the begin ning of the second semester the photo graphs will not be taken until that time. In quality, the 1920 LaVie will be the same as the publications of former years but it may be necessary to reduce It slightly In size. It Is hoped to have copies ready for distribution before the end of the second semester. The staff Js as follows; Editor-in- Chief, It. B. Storkey; Assistants, G. 8. Wykoff, J. P.

Yea. verily, the poet spoke truly, when he committed himself to • these words of Undying immortality. Or per haps, Sherman was right when he said that war was what we may all some time be destined to visit, At least that Is what every State Pen S. A. C. T. student thought when Uncle Sam de cided to hand out uniforms. According to Article of War No. 108aNz?7 , 942, every C. A. S. .T.--off soldier with an extra amount of aVolr dupois received a uniform too small for even a toothpick to ,think of entering. while antithetically one complete out at was issued to every 23 men of 90 pounds respectively. Hats, blouses, leg gins, overcoats, shirt, etc., were given, but If any one of the various nonde script articles had been a perfect fit, that planet commonly known as Earth would now have eight. instead of seven wonders of the world. Even at that, we know of SATCeasers who are wear ing shoes which before entering the army were Intended for the left foot only; and 'Os said there is even one member of '22, who receiving No. 12 footgear threw them Into reversible, and so perambulates over the campus. Oh yes', what did Sherman say war was?

MONTGOMERY & CO State College COLLEGE ASSUMES NORMAL ASPECT (Continued from first_page) of the following courses; blacksmithing, woodworking, Instruction in telephone and telegraph work, foundry, motor truck driver, motor-truck mechanic, and machinist. The courses in the driv ing and repair of motor trucks proved to be the most popular and many of the men selected this form of training. Six Style B army trucks were at the dis posal of the men selecting this training and practical work in regard to the driving and care of these trucks was given. The men in Section B were quartered in Old Alain but eventually would have been moved to the barracks which were In process of erection on Old Beaver Field. These barracks were of the style approved by the War Department for erection at all army camps and canton ments and were well on the way to completion when the S. A. T. C. was disbanded. Two large moss halls were erected directly to the rear of McAllister Hall for the purpose of providing mess for the Vocational section. These build ings were of temporary construction and were built with the primary idea of speed in construction. Just what fate they wilt suffer has not been de cided as yet by the college and military authorities.

Major 'Baynes as commanding officer and Captain Sarge who- was in charge of the voca tional section were men who have had a Wide experience in military affairs and Penn State was indeed fortunate to have two such men at the head of her military organization. The majority of th officers were men of college train ing and as soon as the demobilization took place, many of them left for their colleges where they will take up their college work again. Cooperation be tween the officers and men was evident at all times and this is responsible in a large degree for the success of Penn States mobilization. Plans aro now being formulated whereby members of the junior and senior classes will be able to take fur ther. military training rin the Reserve °dicers' Training Corps. These plans as yet are far from complete and full information concerning them will be given in the future.
