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

Several days ago, I received a lettci
from u veiy elohw-friend ot.uiluo, who
Id now a FtvHhnuin ut Georgia Teeli.
It was nn ordinary letter. 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

ionic which started mo thinking It

That sentence brought to mo memo

fore. w lion later In his letter he Inform
ed me that ho was J» danger of ex

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

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.
