A GOOD START
Last week, the COLLEGIAN outlined a plan for the building of
a large social hall as a memorial to the boys from Penn State who
enterted the service of their country and offered their lives in the great
struggle which has just ended. The plan in brief was to put up a
building where students and faculty could gather on the same basis,
where banquets, smokers, all-college dances and the like might take
place and where the student governing bodies and college publications
might have rooms for their meetings. It was proposed that the money
be raised by the students, alumni and friends of the college, and to
make it a truly Penn State memorial.
The idea has met with considerable favorable criticism and when
the question of the Senior memorial came up, it was suggested that
the present Senior class, instead of leaving a separate memorial, should
start the fund for building this permanent memorial.. Sentiment
seemed to favor such action and a committee was appointed to take
up the matter . It was also believed that both the class of 1918 and t h e.
class of 1917 might co-operate in this matter and turn the money for
their memorials into the same fund. Both of these classes put their
memorial fund into Liberty Bonds until a time might come when it
could be used to good advantage. We believe that the time has now
come.
Of course, the plan must be placed on a business-like basis and an
organized campaign would have to-be started in order to boost the
fund. flowerer, the COLLEGIAN believes that once the idea is pre
sented to the alumni and friends of the college, that it will meet with
popular favor and that the fund will soon begin to grow. Families
who have lost boys in France will certainly want to have a share in such
a memorial, as will those who were more fortunate in having their
sons come back safely, though they shared the same risk; for the pro
posed memorial would be to every Penn State man who obeyed the call
of his country and "did his bit."
The COLLEGIAN does not feel capable of outlining a definite plan
of action, but it would rather see the matter taken up by those who are
more in a position to push it through. However, we would suggest
that a committee be placed in charge of the project, the committee
to be selected by the Board of Trustees of the college and to be com
posed of at least six members. Moreover, we belive that the President
of the Board of Trustees should serve as chairman a this committee
if possible and that it should be made up of two other Alumni mem
bers of the Board of Trustees, the president of the college, and two
members of the faculty. The treasurer of the fund should, be the
Alumni Secretary, in the opinion of the COLLEGIAN.
May we not urge that this matter be given serious attention by
the Board of Trustees as soon as possible so that plans may be formu
lated and a start made? Everyone admits that Penn State must erect
a permanent memorial to the boys in the service—a memorial which
will mean something to future classes—while the plans, for a large
social hall have long been discussed, and here is a wonderful opportu
nity to combine these two into one and make both a success.
We do not have any definite site selected for the building of such
a hall, but with such a large campus as ours, that problem should be
simple. Once the fund is started and has begun to grow, the other
matters will be easily attended to, so let everyone get back of the idea
and see if it can not be worked out with but a little delay. It is worth
trying at any rate.
DO YOU liiNOW THAT-
The three upper-class honorary societies of the college—Lion's
law, Skull and Bones, and Parmi Nous—will refuse to admit any
student who is a member of T. N. E. or who is suspected of being
affiliated with any such organization?
That the three under-class societies of the college = Friars, Druids
and Sphinx—will refuse to admit any student who is a member of T.
N. E. or who is suspected of being affiliated with any such organization?
That the Student Council will not permit any member or former
member of T. N. E. or any such organization to serve on any of the
student governing bodies?
That the Faculty Committee on Student Publications and Social
Activities has agreed to suspend any student from college who is
discovered to be connected with T. N. E. or any such organization
which exists contrary to the ruling of the college?
That the national and local social and honorary fraternities of the
college have agreed to expel any of their members who become affili
ated with T. N. E. or any such organization which exists contrary to
the ruling of the college?
If such all organization were working for the best interests of the
college, would all these actions have been taken against it? Would
the faculty committee refuse to recognize such an organization if it
had proved its worth?
These are all points to,l ihnitit over before tying up with any
such organizat
are you thought them over?
A FINE SHOWING-BUT!
The Penn State Unit of students and band which attended the in
auguration of Governor Sproul last week made a very excellent show
ing, front all reports. They were the recipients of much applause, in
fact received the most applause of any organization in the entire
parade, when they passed the grand-stand, according to several of the
prominent men in State affairs who were present. Remarks such as
"Here conic the regulars" and "Look at their swing" should serve
to make every Penn State man proud of his Alma Mater.
The band, which gave the official concert in the Capitol after the
parade, also created a good impression, and caused considerable com
ment on its excellent rendition. This means more than it would
seem at first thought, as the Capitol is a very difficult place in which
to play.
However—there is always something to "take the joy out of life."
some of the members of the unit did not, apparently, get enough
celebrating in Harrisburg, and finished up by destroying some of the
property of the railroad on one of the cars on the return trip. Al
though the damage did not amount to much, and will be paid for from
the damage fund, nevertheless, such affairs as this do much toward
injuring the good name of the college. Let every one remember this,
and use the old adage in the future, "think twice before acting once."
One of the members of the COLLEGIAN staff was informed of a
poor sample of "Penn State Spirit" at the basketball game last Sat
urday evening. The captain of the opposing team infOrmed one of
his State friends, that immediately after the game, a State man came
up to him and inquired, "Say, haven't you fellows ever been on a bas
ketball floor before." To say the least this is not in accord with the'
REponTnn.

sportsmanship for which the college is noted. Let everyone remem
ber to treat the members of the opposing teams with true sportsman
ship and the respect and courtesy they have a right to expect.
The highly unexpected spring weather which we have been having
of late has brought out one of Penn States most disagreeable physical
features, namely, sloppy paths and walks. It does seem a shame that
the walks about the Campus and particularly those leading to the
Agricultural buildings cannot be constructed of some material which
will norbe so susceptible to spring thaws and the like. Every year it
is the same old story, and we hope that some day, we shall be able to
use real walks instead of the imitations we now have.

PENN STATE COLLEGIAN
MANY STATE MEN AT
AMERICAN UNIV. UNION
About Fifty Alumni and Under
graduate Soldiers Register at
Overseas Headquarters
OVER A NEW LEAF
That the American UniverSity has
been a direct help to Penn State men
overseas was demonstrated recently,
when a list comprising the alumni and
• undergraduates who registered there for
a limited time was received by the col
, lege authorities.
The American University Union was
organized during the summer of 1917
with the main purpose in view of bone
fitting American college men who were
I overseas in the service of their country.
Union hadquarters are at Paris, Lon
' don, and Rome, and many of the leading
colleges in this country aid in the sup
port. To the alumni and students of
each university and college enrolled, the
Union upon payment of a very small
fee gives what is called its general
privileges, among which are the fol
lowing: to provide at moderate. cost, a
home with the privilege of a simple
club for American college men and their
friends; to provide a headquarters for
! the various bureaus established in
France by representative American.
universities, colleges and technical
schools; and to cooperate with these
bureaus when established, and in their
absence to aid institutions, parents, or
friends in securing information about
• college men in all forms of war service,
reporting casualities, visiting the sick
and wounded, and giving advice.
The Paris headquarters are at the
Royal Palace Hotel on the Place du
Theatre Fracals, near the Louvre and
the Tuilleries Gardens; at London
branch has been esablished at 16 Pall
Mall East, S. W. 1., and very recently
headquarters wore secured at Rome.
Honorary patrons of the Union Include
' the 'Secretary of War. Secretary of
Navy, the American Ambassador to
• France, and the general commanding
the •American Forces in France.
Between the dates of Noveinber 13th
and December 21st, 1918. forty-five Penn
State men registered at the Union,
either in Paris, London, or Rome. The
' large number is probably accounted for
•by the fact that hostilities ceased on
November 1111, and as n result many
more leaves of absences would be grant
ed. It isinteresting to note that of
the Penn State men wino registered at
tine Union, practically every man is an
officer. The men who registered be
