THE NEED OF A STADIUM
Undoubtedly the outstanding feature of the football game with
Lehigh Saturday before the large crowd of Pennsylvania Day visitors
and students was the lack of seating accommodations. As an esti
mate, about 8,000 persons attended the game and of this number
not seventy-five perecent were able to obtain seats. The grandstand,
both the upper and lower blachers, and even the Freshman bleachers
were filled with the ladies and their escorts. Even at that, there were
many of the fair sex who were forced to stand. Add to this the
great number of students who were unaccompanied, and a sides will
be abtained of the inadequacy of the seating facilities. All around
the field, along both side lines and at each end, there were great
masses of people, and these, in addition to being in uncomfortable
positions themselves and unable to clearly see the game also served
as obstacles to those who were fortunate enough to secure seats.
This overcrowded condition can mean but one thing, and that is,
that Penn State must have a large stadium in the near future in
order to satisfy her needs. Other colleges are so equipped and
there is no reason why Penn State should not be. Harvard, Yale,
Princeton, Penn, Lehigh, Lafayette, and so on down the list of large
and small colleges one finds that adequate arrangements are pro
vided for a large number of spectators. It is a great need and one
which must be filled.
Penn State should have a stadium which could seat at least
20,000 people. While this estimate may seem to be much too large,
we believe that future conditions will justify a structure of this size.
Even as conditions are today, the stands on New Beaver are• unable
to seat the usual attendance at the games. In every home game this
fall, previous to last Saturday, at least 3,000 persons were in attend
ance, and quite a number of these were compelled to stand. Added
to this is the fact that the grandstand is not sufficiently large to ac
commodate ladies with escorts. The erection of temporary bleachers,
too, will not fill the bill; for this was demonstrated last week, and
looking at it from another angle temporary structures are not al
ways safe, as was demonstrated this fall, when part of those on the
Freshman side collapsed.
If Penn State receives adequate support from the legislature,
she is bound to expand and grow in the future 9t a tremendous rate.
Five hundred would-be students were turned away this year. Sup
pose they had been admitted; five hundred people would have had to
stand at each game. Agan, let us suppose that eventually enough
buildings are provided to care for an ever increasing number of
students and an additional several hundred are admitted each year.
Then, the need of a stadium will be more and more keenly felt.
Hence, it is necessary now to look ahead and begin making plans
for what promises to become a certainty in the future.
The question of financing will be the big problem. For the present
all interest is centered in the new athletic field and the erection of
the ne wreceration hall. Until that work is completed, let us boost
no other project than it. But when that task has been finished, how
ever, it will then be the logical time to take up the question of the
new stadium. Funds may be raised by state appropriation, by stu
dent and alumni subscriptions, or by a dozen other means which
may be suggested.
The big thing now is to keep this project definitely before the
public as a thing to be erected in the future. It was a need which was
keenly felt last Saturday, it will be felt again at commencement, it
will be felt next Pennsylvania Day, in fact, it will be felt until it
is supplied.
ANNOUNCEMENT
The COLLEGIAN takes great pleasure in announcing that W. L.
Leinbach '2l and H. M. Sheffer '2l have been elected to the positions
of associate editors on the editorial staff of this paper.
Once again the COLLEGIAN wishes to caution the student body
against over-confidence in regard to the football outlook. Despite
the fact that the Blue and White team has won two grand and glor
ious victories, let us remember that there are still two very hard
games ahead, and the record of the past will not win the contests of
the Future. A message from Cornell says that the Ithacans expect
to win Saturday's contest, in that their team will be stronger at that
time than at any other time this season. The Penn State eleven is
going into a hard battle and let us be behind it, as we have in the
past, to the last man. Let us not be overconfident, but let us sup
port the team with a full realization that victory will be won only
after a titanic struggle.
The COLLEGIAN wishes to commend the student body and visi
tors upon their liberality Sunday evening in contributing towards the
support the band. It was especially pleasing to those who have
dealing with that organization, in-as-much as it will mean
that it will be able to make a presentable appearance at the Pitt
game on Thanksgiving Day and on other public occasions. The
amount contributed, over three hundred dollars, only bears out
the fact that the work of the band is appreciated by all and that
the students take justifiable pride in this organization.
REGARDING ELECTIONS
There is a certain matter which must be brought before the
student body, and now seems to be the logical time. It is concern
ing elections.
Whenever there are positions to be filled, either in class or col
lege activities, a number of men are nominatd. Usually some good
men are put up, but unfortunately in the large majority of cases, men
totally unfitted for the position are nominated. It might be said
that men of the latter type are usually defeated in the election.
Why are these men nominated? Usually it is done by some
fraternity brother or close friend of the nominee. The COLLEGIAN
believes that such a policy is unwise, for often there are such ludi
crous combinations as a football star trying to manage wrestling,
track man elected manager of baseball, or something like that.
In nominating for student offices, the thing to strive for and to
obtain is the best man for each position. Remember—college first,
class next, and fraternity third.

FAVOR OF "MONOPOLY"
Muttonly is an old, old question of
privileges granted litlndreds of years
ago. In the thirteenth century, mo
nopolies were granted on everything.
What a happy dap• this would be If
monopolies were only granted In State
College! NVlty, that would be a cinch,
the Supta would promptly get a mo
nopoly on the streets and the poor
Frosh tvould not be aiiinVed to Wan:

own aeroplanes or possess great gym

top to tree-top going to and from
classes.
Lt such 0 time, of course, ?I common
scene would be to see a line of Frosh
