Member of Inlercollegluto Newspaper Association FRIDAY, JANUARY 9, 1920 News Editor for this Issue... THE VOTE ON THE LEAGUE One of the most important decisions the college students of this country will be called upon to make this year will be the vote of this League of Notions Covenant the beginning of next week Arrangements have been made to obtain a virtually one hundred per cent vote here at Penn State, and it u. especially desired that an unbaised register of opinion be obtained. As a result, every student is urged to read both the League of Nations pact, copies of which are being distributed, and also the Reservations to the League, these be ing published in this issue of the COLLEGIAN. After doing so, each should decide for which one of the six propositions he will vote, in order that the ballot may be taken as quickly as possible. It is also important that each student register his unbaised opinion, irrespective of any party aihliation. Informal polls already taken in dicate that everywhere, oven including the colleges, there is too great an inclination to follow wimt is dommoniy accepted as the attitude of party leaders If possible, this should be avoided at Penn Slate, so that the result obtained will be the opinions of the students them selves, and not the opinion of some prominent politician. A MEETING WORTHY OF COMMENDATION An event of some importance in its elfcct upon the religious and moral hfo of the college and universities of the country took place during the vacation just passed nt Des Atoincs, lowa. The Eighth International Student Volunteer Convention brought together some eight thousand students from the institutions of higher learning of the entire world and during the four days it was in session prominent speakers form all parts of the world aided in making the event one of importance long to be rememberd. Penn State sent some forty delegates as its share to this meeting of the students of the world. The Umvcisity of California and Co lumbia were first and second respectively in the number of delegates sent, and some six hundred and forty of the entire attendance came from Canadian colleges and universities. Foreign countries were rep resented by some 550 delegates, with the Japanese and Chinese in the foreground. The occurance o fthis event lends a new side to the much-talked of college life which we hear so much of now days Athletic and social activities arc usually in the foreground when this subject is mentioned but an event ot the size of this convention and the pur pose, foreign missions, which brought this vast number of college men and women together can not be passed over lightly. To bring student delegations of the size of those of California and Columbia and Penn State together m the interest of foreign missions empha sizes thcfact that there is a religious side to college life and as one of the large daily papers puts it, "this number is far more than woutd journey fifteen hundred miles to see a football game." The religious work of the Penn State Y M C A. has always been an outstanding feature of the work ot this college and it is hoped that the men and women of Penn State’s student body, who were fortunate enough to attend this convention and come in close contact with many big men and women of today will pass their impressions and inspirations on to the vastly larger number who were unable to be in attendance The Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph struck an impressivo chord when it said editorially, "At a tune when we arc told by the timorous that socialism and skepticism and other menacing isms are permeating our higher institutions of learning and getting the grip on the im pressionable minds of youths, this object lesson nt Des Moines is of reassuring significance". A great deni of credit is du wonderful football schedule which A series of nine games, six of wl with exceedingly worthy opponent tional clashes, compose the card every game next season with a vi who deserves the mythical footbnll “PEN?.

Such u one us l have often written, and piobn bly much the same nu the general type, wilttcn by u college student to hits ft lend. There was. however, one sen* ionic which started mo thinking It rend, "Of course you know wo uro in the hubuiba of Atlanta und so llfo is never dull, for with the various par ties and shows one can always find something to do '* That sentence brought to mo memo with this bo> In prop school Ills slcudlncss und constant good average In studies. Imagine my surprise, there fore. w lion later In his letter he Inform ed me that ho was J» danger of ex pulsion because of four below grades. Why ? Tlie answer 1s obvious Tho call of a gn> llfo is strong. Lessons are, for tho most part, dull und unin teresting. Therefore, when cost upon Iris own resources ho heeded tho strong er call foi which ho loft his lessons Tho old proverb, "Business before pleas ure", although easy to preach, Is ex ircmcb dllllcult to practice Our college does not placo us In dan ger of losing our clianco for education in this manner. Situated as we are. in a small town, where the call of life, If ever heard, Is hnrd'to answer, wo are better able to devoto plenty of time to our studies. And what Is tho funda mental principle of n college career? Not to sec life Not to have a good time Not to gain soclnl prominence. It is to study and acquire knowledge so that some day wo mu> take our placo imow? the great men of the country Wo have our amusements Amuse ments that will benefit us.

NOTE —Tins is the severest test to which you can put your cigarette. NEARLY dinner time you’ve been smoking all day* How is your cigo rette appetite? If it is tired and jaded—in other words, unless it’s as fresh, crisp and snappy as right after breakfast—you ought to look around for a different brand of cigarettes. The right brand (when you find it) will let you (cel fine and fit and smoke-hungry clear up to bed-time. It will give you enough of the delicious flavor of Turkish tobacco —but it will be so blended as to off-set the over-richness or heaviness that comes from smoking too much Turkish. The one cigarcttc which to-day seems to be attracting most men who tire of straight Turkish is Fatima (sec at left). As soon as you arc ready to look serf* ously into the-cigarette question, pul Fatimas to the 6 o’clock test. Friday, Januafy 9,1920
