TIIE IN 11l AND HO‘N OF A STUDENT FIRE DEPARTMENT
It must be patent to ever) thinking student that one of the needs
of the moment at Ifcon State is an alive, wide-awoke student fire de
pm fluent The hapharnid, go-as -you-please methods of fire fighting
now in toque are tat limn et ficient in times of emergency and will,
bccome even won se us time goes on because of the rapid deterioration
thc tire de:mini:cot equipment With such conditions staring us
in the lace, titer, ts a sclf-evident need for an efficient, well organized
student file depattinent which is willing to shoulder the responsibility
of using and maintaining the lire fighting apparatus possessed by
the college rem uill doubt the ads isability of organizing such a
depai intent, the nest question is how.
In pre-war da)s l'cnit State had a first class volunteer fire de
partment. It was a distinct student organization and any student in
good standing wis eligible to membership New members were elect
ed M ineinbc,s of the departmcnt, which held bi-weekly or monthly
meetings Some thou of the popularity of the organization may be
gad:Lied from the tact that it was forced to maintain a waiting list
of students who desired to become members The department was
or ganind into Mien corny isles, a chemical company, a hose com
pany :aid a ladder company, each under the leadership of a captain.
A lire duel and assistant chief directed the activities of the combined
companies I his plan marked admirably and those who recall the days
before toe was mill concede the value and efficiency of the student
%Munroe: tire depai uncut as it then masted
Now to apply the ideas in mind to our own present day condi
tions The most satisfactory soi rof n student fire department would
be a Nolunteer argon /anon such as that just described, and we be
lieve that sgcli a hue department could be organized successfully un
der the direction of the Student Council Another plan which might
be used is to have each group of the proposed Penn State Union
select one of its members to serve as a member of the student fire
depai tment lhe term of service could be one semester or one year
Under this plan the depot tment would have a membership of ap
proximately sixty students, or just about the right number in view of
the apparatus which the college possesses. Another advantage of this
latter plan tics in the fact that it would strengthen the Union by
creating a common bond of interest between its members.
In conclusion, we wou'd state our realization of the fact that these
are open to improvement and that even better plans can
probably be worked out, it serious attention is given the matter by the
student governing bodies Houever, the main thing is to get going
and do something in the ntattet A good fire department is not an
absolute preventative of tires, but it is ono of the best forms of fire
insurance known
A GOOD TURN FOR PENN STATE
I cc !emu of the sti..lents of this college to their homes for the
annual Christmas 1. icatio i offers cacti an opportunity to do an inf.
moose amount of good fn. Penn State. How much do the people of
Pennsvl,ania lis a whole ':now about this college? Very little; in
faLt the stuskiits they s.nd here are the only means they have of
knowing :ad thing at all In order that every student may Intelli
gentl about Penn S. de to his home folks, his friends, and most
of all to high school sitift.nts who mar become prospective Freshmen
for this college, OIL. COI LEGIAN is this week printing in another
column a f ev. facts 'Mot, the Pennsklvana State College. Let us
get this information belie the people and educate them to the ad
‘tintages and possibilitds of this school It is up to each one of us'

THE "LINWRITTEN" CUSTOM
i courci AN in rely wishes to call attention to the latest
"sow, men" 111 , 10111 at State, that of allowing women first on
the trips from the Lemont trains after the vacation is over. This
mistom was splenuidly m inv. ated by the student body at Thanks
giving and by tliz, continued cooperation of the men students its suc
cess is aSSI.II cd
The COLLEGIAN si.hcs to again emphasize as strongly as pos
sible the lact taut the . orianization of the non-fraternity men in no
wilt means antagonism to the fraternities. Several wild rumors
wore allow the past week Ind some few students have been believing
thLin, undoubtedly this has been due to some misunderstanding and
we feel sure that this misuaderstanding was dissolved at tha mass meet
ing of the L acct nit) men no Monday night.
I hi. new m ganization has been created for the betterment of
Penn State; advantages were discussed at length in last week's
issue 01 flu_ COLLEGIAN In its bigger, broader outlook on college
tic, thy, institution must continue to grow by leaps and bounds, and
the 01g.mtailon of the non-fralernity men can mean, not antagonism
to the ft ati.lllltles, but co-operation with them, and a better feeling
and closer co-operhtion 4.ween men of fraternity and non-fraternity
ink.
Penn St winter sports season will be officially opened on
hla , . I, cuing with the basketball season, and after the Christmas
vacation, this sport, togetlici with wresting and boxing, will occupy
the limelight Let us remember that these teams will need just as
much support as was shot ded the lootball eleven, and that the "old
new Penn State spit it" must be as much in evidence. Every student
therefore, should turn out to witness every home contest.
It has alma\ s been n Lustom at Penn State that whenever a stu.
dent gathering of any kind is held a the Armory the men remove
their lints The nbs,:rice of eLamples of this was especially notice- t
able last Saturday aftei noon at the Sophomore-Freshman wrestling
scrap, when only a few students obeyed the rule. Let us remember Ri
to the future and aid in the lit mg up to of a time honored custom.
