Up to Monday evening of this week, the sum of $23,342.50 was subscribed by students and faculty of Penn State toward the amount needed for thc construction of a new recreation building at the col lege. As has been announced, a friend of the college has contrib uted one-half the money needed, and every dollar raised by the 'acuity and undergraduates will be matched by a prominent alumnus. 1 o say the least—the very, very least—those who have contributed thus lar have done exceptionally well, and they are deserving of the highest praise The COLLEGIAN wishes to take this opportunity to congratulate every one who has in this way done his or her share for Penn State. • Records show that so far there has been turned in seventeen hundred subscription blanks. According to a rough estimate, there are still about four hundred students and quite a number of the faculty who have not signed up. To those, who have not yet done so, either through neglect or through lack of opportunity, the COLLEGIAN makes the plea that they do so at once, in order that the final results may be tabulated. There will be plenty of oppor tunity for each one to do his "bit" and the only advice that we can offer is to "give till it hurts." Penn State needs a new recreation hall and needs it badly. The structure whose plans have been out lined in previous numbers of the COLLEGIAN, will adequately take care of every student in the mass-athletics program, and in order that its completion may he assured by next Pennsylvania Day, 1919, it is absolutely necessary that these pledges be turned in now. If you are looking for the opportunity to subscribe, just take time by the forelock and go to room 118, Qld Main, and ask for a subscription blank. Or go to your class meeting this week and take the opportunity that is there offered you. If you are unable to take advantage of either of these, don't fail to go to the Co-op this week on a night to be announced, and there make your subscription. Penn State needs it and Penn State must have it. Extremely liberal terms have been offered and the last payment of the subscription need not be made until next September. If you are unable to make ti cash contribution, see to it that you donate the proceeds of sty erg.l.days' work this summer. There is facalty representative in cifch schobl of the college, who is making a personal Visit tb all tlie members of his particular school; and the women students have also made arrangements to go "over the top". Each male undergraduate is therefore urged to go the limit so that there will be a 100 per cent contribution from every class and from the college as a whole. Three-fourths of the amount needed for the new building have been contributed by others, and if the students of Penn Stato cannot lurnish the other fourth, she will certainly not be doing her share. Every man should consider it an honor to sign up and wear a tag So, don't delay. Do it NOW. Exceedingly poor spirit was shown by members of the Sopho more and Freshman classes last Saturday, when only about seventy of the second-year men and about one hundred and thirty of the first year students turned out for the Tug-of-War scrap. From the time when this sport was introduced at Penn State about five years ago, II has never known a failure until this year. Do the Freshmen realize the importance of this scrap? If they do not, they certainly should. By losing last Saturday, the first-year class lost all right to have any choice in the selection of its class colors No greater disgrace has ever come upon the Freshmen at Penn State For about the past fifteen years in the annual scrap for the colors of the first-year men, the latter have always come through victoriously, mainly because of the fact that they took cnough interest to have every man out to the scrap. And this year 1922 let itself be dragged through the mire of disgrace. Of course, weather conditions were not of the most favorable, but even this disagreeable factor did not in any way give one side the advantage over the other. For the small number of men who showed up from each class, it is impossible to offer any excuse, and it is hoped that next year, when the present Freshmen will be Sopho mores, they will take enough interest in the class scraps to turn out en masse and help arouse the apparently dead class spirit at Penn State. It is undoubtedly one of the desires of cm) , Penn State student and faculty member to have the campus always looking its best. There are several ways to do this. One is to keep all stray pieces of paper which one might have and instead of scattering it along the street, to drop it in one of the receptacles for such material which are placed on the campus at various intervals. Another is to strive for n "pathless campus". Signs with this phrase on them are in use at many colleges, being stuck up at places where the students desire to make a short-cut. These signs will not be needed nt Penn State, if every one will use the regular thorough fares. Again, it would certainly improve the appearance of the cam pus, if every one wnuld permit the grass to grow by not cutting cor ners at the various crossings, and by keeping strictly to the walks.
