Member of Intercollegiate Newspaper Association WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 1920 I'ENN STATE AT PLAY Willi treat pleasure one notes the intensive mass athletic pro gram which has been outlined by the Director of Physical Education, ft embraces such a variety of opportunities for sound physical train ing as has heretofore never been promoted at this college. It pro vides athletics for an innumerable student mass. It is worth every student's while to look into, No inan, or woman either, comes to college with the intention of securing solely an intellectual education. The necessity of such a foundation for life's work is undeniable. Yet, as certain as till work makes Jack a dull boy” so will one slowly but surely sutler it the purely physical part of life is not observed. Therefore it is natural to conclude that to obtain the greatest possible good Irom an education, the individual must partake of some form of athletic diversion along with his studies. True enough is the Tact that man> do take the opportunities offered for exercise and have taken those which during the past years have been available. Those who wers unable to participate in some defined line of sport turned to hiking and other forms of outdoor exercise. Yet all the students did not do both. Some went their study-bent ways. These individuals lost some of the vital good which they were free to receive at Penn State. As yet no system of physical training is being enforced at this college, but next year it is certain that all students will partake in some phase of instruction, for then Penn States great mass athletic system will be put into operation. But we must deal with the immediate present. A most won drous opportunity is being offered through various mediums for each student’s physical advancement. The Outing Club is being put into operation for those who have not the .knack of playing at soma sport. It is with great pleasure that one notes the enthusiasm which is being evidenced by the student body as a whole in the form ation of this organization. Certain it is that but one great result can come from it—better men mid women physically. Nowhere as in the great outdoors can one acquaint oneself so thoroughly with the Maker of man. His works are on all sides. He evidences himself in all living things and unless one is so thoroughly blind to the beauties of nature about him as to make him oblivious of all but the beaten path he himself follows, he will receive an immeasurable amount of good therefrom. However, as true as the fact that these opportunities lie before us is also the one that every man and woman should avail themselves of them. Let us do all in our power to take some form of physical training. Let us ourselves, now that we may, for our part in this great mass athletic program of next year. To prove to the world that mass athletics at Penn State is a pronounced success, is to place our college even higher in the estimation of the people. In no other measure can we be more loyal to our alma mater and to those at home who are watching and praying for us that we may become' better men and women, than by playing our part in the scheme. Let the slogan "Penn State at Play" be a part and parcel of every man and woman under the Blue and White's sway. ANOTHER HOUR OF DAYLIGHT With spring once and for all definitely settled'upon us comes the desire to be out and doing. In consideration of the hours at which classes are now scheduled to close, and the average time set for the evening meal, little time remains in the early evening for the pursuit of such pleasures and forms of recreation as many will desire to indulge in. The completion of the interfraternity ahd interunit baseball schedules, as well as those for tennis and numerous other sports, enthusiasm in the Outing Club, —all require that time be given them for proper and unlimited conduction. At present hours, sufficient time for the playing of a baseball game after the evening meal is not to be had. Consequently, unless the hours for classes are changed, or some measures are adopted whereby more time is to be given to these various intra-mural sports, their effectual operation will be greatly curtailed. The method of daylight saving which has been in use for the past few years seems to be the best which might at this time be! adopted. With the forward movement of the clock, a single hour, this difficulty could be remedied and the desired hour after dinner in the evening would then be had. However, perfect operation of such a plan would require that the citizens of the borough ratify such an act and place themselves in cooperation with the students. Were ten or fifteen minutes taken from each afternoon class, and the hours let be as they arc, the student body would be made to suf fer, by virtue of loss of time in the classroom. With the adoption of the former plan, the extra hour desired would be most easily ob tained and the conduction of the sports assured. Without it the latter is impossible. During the recent Y. M. C. A. campaign, few over 1500 students took on active membership and a little more than half the desired quota was rajsed. In consideration of these facts was the campaign a success? (n alt other financial campaigns ever conducted here, even through the war times, Penn State was given the opportunity of starting the campaigns as incentive for other colleges, and not once did she fail to come through, even going above the required quota. Now, in the first home campaign to be conducted by the "Y”, the student body fails to do its part. A survey of the situation would tell one that it is not the fact that Penn State students arc especially lax in giving large amounts of money, but that many do not have the spirit of giving. Again, the small number of memberships re ceived is indicative that many do not have the same attitude and Christian spirit they had when Dr. Eddy was here, or that they never received it. The immeasureable amount of good the Y. M. C. A. has done at Penn State certainly' merits much better support than that which it received during the recent lt is a true enough fact that many students were not or would not be in a position to give financial aid.

An opportunity will be given to those at the mass meetings this week. The COLLEGIAN hopes that they will do their part at that time. Once before, in this column, emphasis was laid on the part the students of the engineering school should play in regard to the Penn State Engineer. When one notes that but one-third of the engineers have thus far given their support, the outlook for the newly revived publication becomes none too bright. The success of the magazine will be determined by the success of this first issue. If the Penn State engineers back the issue to a man, through the medium of the various societies, then and only then, will the period ical stand the test. It is to be hoped that the engineers will recog nize and do whht undoubtedly is their duty toward the new publicn- I tion. .1. W. .Selover ’22 A. K Post ’23 One Feature of Penn State’s events during the past winter season has been worthy of considerable comcnt as far as the student body is concerned and that is the attendance at the non-nthletic events held here. Considering the fact that during the entire winter, ath letic events were numerous and very inviting t d attendance, the at- > tendance at other affairs has not fallen as might be expected. On the contrary, more have attended such occasions than ever before during their seasons at this college. Debating, illustrated lectures, speeches by nationally renowned men and women, all have received a wonderful appreciation by the student body and the men and women who this year have found a pleasurable entertainment lis tening to these personages who bring vital messages from the out side world and topics of present day discussion 1 are to be congrat ulated on their interest in the subjects and speakers represented. It is safe to say that Penn State’s students are receiving an im measurable amount of valuable information through these sources and the personal benefit to be derived therefrom will stand them in j good stead. The COLLEGIAN sincerely hopes that the wonderful ; impressions created upon outsiders thereby will be continued through | the students interest and attendance and that Penn State men and | women realize how in that medium they are best serving their Alma i Mater.
