There are many features of this plan which bear consideration. Besides being the most efficacious in securing the proper sup port for athletes as a whole, it is a distinct saving over what would be an individual’s expense were he to witness all home games in an ideally completed schedule. Greater yet is the fact that a surplus would then be had, which, over and above all expenses of operation of the entire system of mass athletics, would make possible the com pletion ol the work on the intercollegiate and intra-mural athletic lields, and a great number of additional improvements. It is the only possible method to be had at present whereby provisions can be made to place the mass athletic program on a working basis. In consideration of the efficiency which would then be secured in all sports, the splendid training which Penn State men and womerf would receive, the prominence Penn State would receive throughout the sporting world, and the personal benefit to be derived from such a plan ol and for the students, the COLLEGIAN be lieves that the student body will gladly ratify the plan, realizing as they do so, that it is for their college’s good and for their own. With the adoption of this new plan, ample facilities will be had for caring for the entire student body in athletics at one time. With out doubt it is one of the biggest things that has come to Penn State this year Attend the mass meeting-and boost for the bigger and better Penn State. WILL YOU BACK A SEMI-WEEKLY PAPER? As stated in an editorial in the COLLEGIAN some time ago, the Publishing Board has long felt, as even the students have, that Penn Stute should have a larger newspaper. The idea foremost in the minds of atl has been a daily newspaper, one which will serve the v students more clficicntly than a weekly ever can. With these ideas in mind, the Board hus decided that, provided sufficient student sup port can be obtained, the COLLEGIAN next year will be issued twice .i week. All who appreciate the problems which necessarily arise in such a change will know! that it involves a larger staff, a new system of management, a higher subscription price and an establish ment adequate for publishing the paper The COLLEGIAN has made, arrangements for ail of these features, to the satisfaction of all con cerned in the publishing of the semi-weekly and the matter now rests with the students. The question at hand is, will the students sup port the enlarged publication with the increased subscription price 9 When'one realizes that at many colleges students are paying as much for a weekly paper of much snlallcr size as the students here will be icquested to pay for next year’s larger COLLEGIAN, it may readily be seen that n very fair price is being asked. In order that Penn State shall some day have a daily, the COL LEGIAN is making this necessary intermediate step,, since it is im possible that such u great change >as from a weekly to a daily can be made at once. The COLLEGIAN believes that as Penn State has grown so greatly during the past few years, that her student publi cation should also grow in size and in number of subscriptions among the students. Penn the COLLEGIAN is doing this tor you. Will you support it? WATCH THAT CRIBBING! As never before in the history of the Honor System, interest is being centered in the actions of the student body throughout the final examinations for {his semester. The attitudft throughout the past semester hus been far from favorable; the number’of'persons caught has been very large; and the conduct in the pomtng' finals is being regarded as a decisive tactor, especially as far as the under classmen are concerned. The COLLEGIAN, which for years has stood hand in hand 1 with the Honor Committee in trying to make for a stronger and more efficient system, as well us a student body void'from the evils of dis honesty, hopes thut in the coming week the students will bear upon themselves the responsibility both ns n body and individually of see ing that there be no cribbing. Numerous times has the incessant cheating been bemoaned. Except for the cooperation of stude*nts in reporting cases, the Honor Committee has had its hands tied,' pur posely, wilfully, by the students themselves * Why this is so, no one really tell, except that no man desires to take the responsibility upon himself. In short, students are afruid that student sentiment will be against them if they report a case. The COLLEGIAN wishes to say that in such event, no student cun perform a greater obligation for the student body, as a whole, than by reporting an offender. One who is so low as to crib, ''re gardless of the circumstances under which he does it, is not fit to" be a college student, nor is he fit to leave his Alma Mater and represent her in the world after he has done sa vile an act while a*student. Too many men fear the consequences for the offender and do not realize that he may be calloused in his offending. For him the worst punishment to be given is none too good. Penn “State stu dents, let us get at the bottom of thd matter. Let us stop this cheating. DAYLIGHT SAVING NEXT YEAH After one has noted the success with which the daylight saving plan has met with this spring, it might be well to ask whether or not such a plan would not be successful at the beginning of a school year also.
