COMPETITION FOR FRESHMEN 'lO BEGIN Candidates for Editorial stag of "Collegian" to Report on Friday Night Following II long-established custom, the COLLEGIAN will again this year add to Its editorial stalT about eight or ten lumbers of the Freshman class. As un Initial step In this direction, a can will he made for candidates this week for all memblegi of the tires year class who desire to try out for the positions of Freshmen reporters. All men, therefore, who so desire should report on Friday evening in room 535 Old Main, at seven O'clock, sharp. Heretofore it has been customary to make this call for candidates immed iately after the first 'lssue or two of the paper hos appeared, and It Is Witte probable that in after years the same custom x9ll predominate. However, this fall, because of a number of %infer seen conditions such an the enlargement of the paper, the necessity of culling out additional Junior men, and su forth, the call has been delayed until the present time. Competition for the various positions open to Freshmen tn the post has al ways been very keen and the reason Cur title lots not been hard to find. The advantages derived merely by com petition for such positions are only too self-evident. The candidate who starts out with the unalterable intention of acquiring newspaper knowledge finds himself almost at once on terms of easy familiarly with the most important activities In the college; he comes in close personal contact with men who are recognized as leaders among their fellows; he becomes more intimate with bin own clansmates; be learns to ore things in their proper light and to re gard them at their proper value; and !gat of all. perhaps. he developed a clearer understanding of that intangible something which is termed "college Concerning thin matter of competi tion, this paper would impress upon each candidate that on one in the be ginning is too small to grow Into the proportions necessary for occupying a topnotch position. Experience Ss mere ly a matter of form, and the files of the COLLEGIAN bear mute witness of the fact that time and again men, who in their Senior year have been elected to the highest positions on the paper, had very little experience with which to begin. One of the largest Freshman classes In history lir enrolled pt' the •college this year and hence the scope of news paper work In the instinttion.4.-nr4ony oniarged.'ao that' the noel for IllerorY and business should be widened, and till In all the Influence of a college paper should be felt more and more strongly in every phase of student life. CHRISTMAS VACATION IS MOVED FORWARD Upon petition by Student Council. the Council of Administration has changed the period of the Christmas vacation to extend from noon, Saturday, December 20, 1919, to noon. Saturday. January 3, 1920, Instead of from noon, TuesdaY. December 23, 1919, to noon, Tuesday, January 6, 1920. This new vacation has t a number of benefits and while it may not allow any extra time at home for some, for others it Is sure to allow at least one day more, Chapel services for Sunday, January fourth, have been postponed. The motives prompting Student Coun cil to ask for a change of the vacation period were that. it would allow more time at home before Christmas and that those students who lived any great die lance from the college would be enabled to reach home before Christmas day; again, it means that the work of the week wilt not be broken into, Inasmuch as classed end on a Saturday noon, and begin again the first hour on a Monday morning: finally, as other colleges are beginning the holiday vacation on or about December nineteenth, It was deemed advisable to also start the Penn State vacation earlier.
