DAY YOUR PLEDGE!
Virtually every Penn State student who was in college last
spring and who returned tins fall was naturally disappointed to find
that actual work had not been begun on the new Recreation Hall.
A number of reasons for the delay have been given, which were out
lined in the first issue of the COLLEGIAN this year. They were
chiefly the illness of the architect selected to draw up the plans, the
great scarcity of sufficient labor during the summer months, and the
fact that a new set of campus plans were being mode and as the
building was involved in *them its location could not be determined
until they were finished
These reasons for delay have now all been removed. The design
for the Recreation Hall has been drawn up and approved by the Board
of Trustees, the building will be located in the woods to the west of
New Beaver Field, where it will be within easy access of that field and
the new playground which is to be developed. The woods will be
parked and will be made into the most beautiful spot on the campus.
But despite the fact that these obstacles have been removed, there
is one other very serious reason for delay. This is the failure of a
great number of students to pay the pledges made at the May mass
meeting. At that time only pleilges were taken, in order that the
students would have time to earn the money during the summer to
redeem their written pledges The first payment was due about the
middle of the summer, the second and final one fell on September
twentieth. And yet, on that date only about one-fifth of the total
amount pledged by the undergraduates had been paid. This means
that most of the pledges are being paid behind time, and those which
have not yet been redeemed are now nearly four weeks overdue.
In addition to the moral principle that students are neglecting to pay
a written promise, which is sacred, there are other reasons why these
pledges should be paid AT ONCE.
Many students object to paying on the ground that the building
has not even been started, that they will pay what they owe as soon
as actual work is begun. Is this a fair attitude to take? We think
not. SUPPOSE the other financial promoters would say—the building
will be erected as soon as all the student subscriptions are paid. The
COLLEGIAN would then be quite safe in assuming that the building
would always remain unbuilt.
Again, the COLLEGIAN could not blame the promoters, IF they
should say—suppose the erect the building, then after its completion
what is to prevent the students from still refusing to pay, on the
ground that the building is up, and they therefore absolved from
their pledges? The fact that the pledges were not paid on the date
they were due looks very much like either carelessness or a non
intent to pay.
Penn State Students! We have definite assurance that the build
ing will be started in the spring, as soon as weather conditions
permit. Plans for its development, so that when it does start it will
go with a rush, will undoubtedly be made this fall and winter. To
adequately make these, plans and assure the building's swift erec
tion, it is essential that every pledge be paid at ONCE. Have you
paid-yours? If not, NOW is the time to do it. Don't, for the sake
of Recreation Hall, put it oft any longer
STUDENT CHEERING
We wonder what is wrong with the cheering at Penn State. While
it was somewhat of an improvement last Saturday aver that of the
previous week, it was still fur From being anywhere near what 3,000
voices should produce. Why not put your whole self into your
cheers"' We wonder, and we say it with all respect for the Buck
nellians, who have a wonderful football team, whether, if the yells
had been given with a little more "vim" and with a little deeper note,
the team could not have put that ball over the line the first time it was
held for downs. We are inclined to believe that it could.
The team plays its first genie away from home on Saturday, and
the contest will undoubtedly be hard fought. Give your best at the
farewell mass meeting and give your best at the send-off. Show the
team that you are behind it and that when it trots out on the Dart
mouth field Saturday afternoon, it will do so in the knowledge that
the Auditorium is overflowing with loyal supporters anxiously awaiting
the returns of the game .
Finally, after giving your best before and during the game, and
no matter whether the result be for or against the Blue and White,
get out and welcome that team home on its return. Show it that you
are proud of it in victory or delent. The COLLEGIAN has supreme
confidence in that team, its head conch, and assistant coaches; we
firmly believe that with unanimous and unquestioning loyal support
to the Blue and White, the wearers of the Green are going to meet
their match on Saturday.
"Cutting corners" seems to be becoming a favorite habit of
Penn State students. Unfortunately, it adds nothing to the beauty
of the campus, but detracts much trom the beauty thereof, inasmuch
as it is only a short time until the grass is killed. Why not stick to
the paths and walk around the corners. Another way to improve
the looks of the campus is to drop all paper, refuse, and so forth,
into the receptacles which have been provided, instead of promis
uously scattering it on the ground.
The organization of the Penn State Press Club and the Shakes
peare Club are more steps forward in Penn State's advancement. By
means of one or the other of the organizations, interest in journalism,
literature, creative writing, and dramatics, is stimulated, and the cul
tural values of a college education are still further magnified and
intensified.
Whether class spirit among the Freshmen and Sophomores is dead
or alive will be demonstrated on Saturday, when the "push ball" scrap
is held. It is the duty of every member of the two underclasses to
be out on that day, and if lie is not so fortunate as to get into the
scrap, to "root" for his side and have the satisfaction of knowing
that he was ready if his class needed him. We might add that it is
considered a disgrace for the Freshmen to lose the first scrap of the
year; it is also a dishonor for the Sophomores to allow the first year
men to overcome them in the push fight. 1922 and 19231 Are
