IS PENN STATE GOING BACK?
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

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 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

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?

LADIES FIRST
Juniors Plan to
Publish La Vie
In spite of the many serious diffi
culties that have been encountered the
1920 Lavie trill be published this year
as scheduled. 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.

A PERFECT (?) FIT
"A number 10 shoe and a number 9
hat." 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?

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.

The success of the S. A. T. C. at Penn
State was due to several things but
too much credit can not be given to
the officers in command. 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.
