Intercollegiate NoTrapupor Association WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17, 1920 News Editor for this issue PENN STATE SPORTSMANSHIP Now that tho indoor sporting season is nearly past, the COL LEGIAN wishes to take this opportunity to congratulate the stu dent body on its excellent sportsmanship and spirit of fair play during the season. This could not have been shown- to better ad vantage than on last Saturday, when the Toronto boxers were here. The'attitude of the spectators was all that it could have been and brought forth much favorable comment both From the visitors and from the referee. .... However, in a few of the contests this year, especially in those where the spirit and enthusiasm were high,* there were a few re marks made which would better have been left unsaid. Just a few individuals were responsible, and these were promptly reproved-by those in the immediate vicinity. In the remaining wrestling meet and in the spring contests, let us see that this spirit of sportsman ship is continued and that the opposing team as well as the one re presenting the Blue and White is given its share of cheers. MRS. PANKHURST COMING On Saturday evening under the auspices of Phi Kappa Phi, there will.be given a lecture by Mts. Emmeline Pankhurst, noted suffragist of England. She has traveled extensively through Russia and will ba9e her remarks upon what she saw in that country. To say that a large audience should turn out to hear her is putting it mildly. Mrs. Pankhurst is a national figure—yes, an international one, and any one who fails to hear her misses a wonderful opportunity. Wherever she ha 9 gone, she has been greeted by crowded houses, and Penn State certainly does not wish to prove an exception to the rule Tho Phi Kappa Phi Society has been instrumental in bringing a number of noted speakers to the college this yoar, chief among whom may be mentioned Ex-President William Howard Taft. The prices for the coming lecture are vory low and within the reach of everyone so that tho Auditorium should be filled to overflowing next Saturday evening. Let each one turn out, for the occasion is such that none can afford to miss it. TO THOSE GOING ON TRIPS Within the next two weeks quite a number of Penn State stu dents, mostly Seniors and Juniors, will be away on their annual trips. It is needless to say that the attitude of those on these trips can do the college an immense amount of good or an immense amount of harm Heretofore it has been the policy* of some who go on such trips to forget the fact that they are college men and •gentlemen, and at every town they visit, to perform acts that are unworthy of them in every respect. Is it necessary to do such things? Is it necessary to purloin a souvenir from every hotel at which ono stops? It is the little things that count and the record of the college can be made or marred by the attitude of the students while away from Penn State. Let each one bo sure while he is away that he will do nothing which will in any manner detract from the good re putation this college holds. CUTTING CORNERS With the coming of the spring weather, another undesirable feature is being brought to light—that of cutting corners. This is done only by a few students, and yet the number is sufficient to spoil the looks of the campus. It is up to everyone to see that not only does he keep himself from cutting corners, but also that he does his share in preventing those who have formed this undesirable habit. CARE ON HIKES just a word of warning to those who intend going on hikes this spring. Through the thoughtlessness of a few in the past, damage has been done to the property of the surrounding farmers, and it seems that if the latter are kind enough to permit the public to pass through their land, those to whom this privilege is extended should rodprocate by not molesting anything on that property. THE LAST OP “SOOT NIGHT” The COLLEGIAN notes with pleasure tho decision of the mem bers of the Sophomore class in regard to a long practiced outlaw custom at this college, namely “soot night”. Several years ago, the custom was ruled out of the list of legitimate! Penn State customs, but each spring a few of tho respective Sophomore classes have viol ated the ruling. That the class of 1922 has decided to finally put an end to this method of procedure is worthy of great commendation. Of the new organizations begun at Penn State this year, thero is none more worthy or deserving of support than tho “Penn State Engineer”. Unfortunately, there are many students in the* School of Engineering who have not yet added their financial support, a very small sum for the value received, to the new venture. We wonder if they are going to stand by and let the project fail; we sincerely hope not. The timei is drawing near for the appearance of tho new magazine, and tho time to subscribe is now. It stands to reason that any activity which is to live must have student sup port. Will tho students in tho School of Engineering come across 5 It is up to them. Have YOU done your part? Unlimited possibilities for good are contained in the organization of the Penn State Outing Club and without doubt everyone is going to get behind and push it to tho limit. It is something which has been needed at this college for, a long, long time and a groat step forward in outdoor activity has been taken in its organization. -Tho importance of holding tho interscholastic championship bas ketball series at Penn State cannot be underestimated. In addition to having a numbor of prospective college students here for a few days to look over the college, these same young* men are going to carry back to their schools the impressions which they form of Ponn State. Lot us each do our part toward showing these students what Penn State really stands for. PENN STATE UNION IS GREATEST NEED OF COLLEGE Former Member of Collegian Staff, Now at University of Michigan, Writes Interesting Article Concerning the Union Idea—Mich igan One of Leaders in Developing Plan Editor Assistant Editor Tho followinir article concerning the Penn State Union Is written by Mr. A D MacKinnon, a former member of tho COLLEGION stuff. Mr. MacKinnon Is non nt tho University of Michigan studying law und lias had ample op portunity to note the workings of the Michigan Union. ...Woman's Editor Penn Stato has nt last taken a stop In tho right direction by Its decision to establish a Penn Stato Union. Tho writer Is -forced to this conclusion by his opportunity of observing the value of a union to tho entire student body of the loading university of tho Middle West. The union referred, to !h the center of all college life, und a union at Penn Stale would bo even raoro so because of tho peculiar goopruphlcal situation of Stato College. The fact tiiat Stato Is located somewhat distant from other communities, and tho moans of transportation none too good to neighboring towns, will enable tho en tire student body to'thoroughly nppie clato the valuo of a union. The Alumni will also llml tho union a place of com fort where thoy mny stop on their visits to tho “old town". Should Penn Statu model Its proposed union after the oldest and most success ful union, thoy will endeavor to aako this side of tho project, (alumni o?cmo dntlons). Ideal in every respect by of fering guest-rooms to tho alumni, as well as all other facilities offered in a first-class city club. At present tho accommodations at Stato Collego aro none too good for guests, and It will bo to tho ad vantage of all concerned to bear this fact In mind when tho final plans aro about to bo drawn. This phaso should muku tho alumni strong hnekers of tiio proposed union ....Business Manager R. L Parker '2l W. D. Lembach “What Is Penn State’s Greatest Need?” Is a caption that appeared In “Tho Collegian” for many weeks dur ing a recent collego year, and a thou sand and one suggestions wero made Having scch tho value of a union to a university community, tho writer goes on record ns stating that Penn Stato needs a union moro than any other thing Then tho question arises In the minds of all. "Just what would bo the vuluo of a union to a collego such as Penn Stato?” Tho writer will endeavor to Illustrate by citing a few of tho ben efits offered AUchlgan students through tho University of Michigan Union This union is fitted out with an elab orate ballroom, a billiard room, dining halls, a cafeteria and soda dispensary, a swimming pool, lounging and reading roonj. guest-rooms, banquet hulls and every other accommodation that one might hopa to find in a good city club These rooms aro nu equipped that com fort is the prlmury object but soivlcc Is never neglected, and these tilings uru offered to the student body ut the lowest possible cost and are conducted solely for tho benefit of tho students and alumni. State College is fast upprouchlng the day when suitable boarding qumtors must be found for the Increased num bers f students that attend each year This fact being ttue, why not establish a cafeteria and dining service that wilt be able to servo tho students with good food at rcasonablo cost. State College, because of Its location, would be able to mako this phaso of a union ono of Its primary functions With a ballroom of sufficient pro portions, the students would have it suitable placo to conduct weekly or bi weekly dances Dances aro conducted ut tho Michigan Union twice weekly, oucli Friday and Saturday evening, and nro always well attended Surely Penn State would bo able to moot with the samo success. It Is found to bo true that oven tho organized groups movo to the union for thcso functions and are of its most consistent supporters Penn State,has for a long time past realized the need of a swimming pool, and hero Is the opportuno moment to secure one by c-mbod>lng It In the proposed union. There Is a large and spacious pool In the bastment of the Michigan Union, and Penn State could also uso tho basement of the proposed union for tho same purpose 'With tho establishment of a pool at State, tho Blue arid White could conduct moots and carry on intercollegiate competi tion In thu nquatlc sport. This idea should also be borne in mind when the project calls for a final unltod effort. It Is not difficult to realize tho valuo of reading and louglng rooms to any college community, and their worth would be apparent to every Stato man These nre a few of the benefits offered by a unloh, but thete arc others A union will offer a mooting placo to meet theli guests and ft lends. Besides this vurlous activities could nrlso there from, such as n Union annual opera, class banquets and get to-gothers, doss stokers, socloty meeting and all phases of nodal llfo can bo conducted at tho union. Another thing to bo borno in mind Is that tho union will be self supporting If 11 wished to mnke It so, 1 after tho Initial construction price Is pnid. With a union, bringing nothing but i benefit to an Institution, and offering j accommodations that uro already nec essary at Stato College, there should ho no hosUtnncy on tho part of tho j entire student body, the faculty, and tho I alumni to undertake tho project with' I all ucrlousncss and carry It to a success ful conclusion, Penn State will bo en j üblcd to take first placo In eastern col- I Icglato circles In this respect by such a step and it should bo jho purpose ; of those In chnrgo to prepare for tho : futuro as well ns for the present In tho proposed building. The alumni of other institutions rnlly with unanimity for such a cause and State's alumni have been tried on mnn> occasions and not ycl found wanting—and It is a safe bet that they will not fall now* With the united support of nil concerned Penn Stato should establish n union that will be a mnument to which all may look with pride "Let's go State and keep going until a union ndorns the campus", should bo the slogan from every State man's lips Our Representative, Mr. H.

TO RE CHAPEL SPEAKER Professor W. J Hutchins wilt bo the speuker for both chapel services next Sunday. Professor Hutchins has re ceived the degree of B.

At tho present time ho Is professor of Homiletics at Obor ■in School of Thclogy. Although power stations have grown to enormous size, with sudden peak loads, tn some instances as'3oo* and'4oo% normal rating, the remarkable fact remains that the design of the ro mains today practically the same as it was thirty-three years ago and that it still-retains its firm position in the combustion* held. This speaks for the accuracy of 'the' original design." Tho Roney stoker is particularly suitable for steady {lower demands with moderate overloads of 25 to 50 per cent and it burns a wide range of fuels satisfactorily. Simple design,"low*'first cost and ease of installation, strongly recommend it for plants’of moderate size. Over three million horsepower have been installed. , i Industrial expansion, however, has wrought many changes in power plant practice since 1887. Today mechanical stokers are called upon to burn everything from high-grade' coals down to refuse. They are also called upon to meet the sudden and enormous steaming ca pacities. Hence, two additional stokers wcre'hdded, and our line now includes th 6 Chain Grate Stoker, particularly adapted to the burning of low-grade, high-ash fuels; ond'tho Un derfeed stoker, which is unequalled in its ability to handle tho sudden" and enormbus ,l overtoad demands of central station service with the highest degree of efficiency. It is a fact of vital importance to the stoker buyer that we manufacture the throo gatreral types, because stoker application should be approached with an open mind arid the stoker manufacturer should be guided in his’recom- purely by th 6 facts ’ that develop ” H from a study of fuel and load requirements.
