THE OLD SPIRIT The mass meeting Inst Wednesday evening was indicative of what Penn State requires throughout the entire year. It was the time for student gathering in force, and for demonstration of student spirit and zeal for the institution. It gave indication of the true feeling of Penn State men and women toward those who have faithfully served the college. It showed the newer students what the great meaning and feeling is that underlies the success of student activities and enter prises at this college Let us have more of these evening mass meetings. Lcjt us have one a week if it is possible The present critical situation of the football season is a good example of this need. The men on the team and the scrubs who work that these men may be better and more fit to play on the varsity, alt need the moral support which can only be given by a student body that is heart and soul in back of them. Penn State men have always been true to the ideals of the college and with their characteristic big-heartedness have given their support to those who needed it most. Let us not fail in this present need. Every man on that team ncedsthc backing of the student body. At the games, in the classroom, on the street, give the men that look, that word, that feel ing that means everything to them, that knowledge that you are back of them, that will jnake this season and this college year even greater | than ever bpfore. Students must forget All-American possibilities. They must realize that the season is yet young and that the men are, yet in the molding stage. They must realize that the team is not the same as was the one at the end of last season. They must realize that the really hard part of the schedule is yet to come, and that the men. must be encouraged in their work if they are to do their best. Penn State men have never failed to give their support. Give it now and give it freely and give it with your whole heart. Back up the team. After giving several weeks notice, the COLLEGIAN, at a gathering last Wednesday evening, received ten applicants from the Freshman class for positions on the editorial staff. A call had been issued for both Sophomores and Freshmen and as a result, ten men reported, none of them belonging to the seconc) year (lass. The result has been very disappointing. Out of classes as large ns these two, cer tninly more men should be found who have some natural ability or at least some inclination toward newspaper work, even if it is but for the duration of their cotlegc course. Surely there are more men in the first year class who have inclinations toward that type of work. The clnss is one which has been picked from the very best men in high schools and preparatory schools throughout the state, and there should be more who desire positions on the staff. The ten men who have reported are a credit to the class. Is it possible that the Fresh man class has but ten men who arc desirous of trying their abilities 9 Are there no Sophomores who have enough confidence in themselves to be candidates for this work. Another chance will be given those who were unable to be present at the last meeting. Next Wednesday evening, another meeting will be held at the COLLEGIAN office at seven thirty o’clock. Let us sincerely hope that at this time the numbers will be greatly swelled. There is only one way for the COLLEGIAN to become a first class newspaper and a daily, which is the goal, and that is by receiving men who arc desirous of undertaking the work. It is not an easy work and is one which requires constant pegging away. But there are men in the underclasses who are capable of doing the work. Where is their spirit? Let us see a manifestation of it at the next meeting. The COLLEGIAN wishes to congratulate the student body on the excellent manner in which it supported the campaign for more funds to support Penn State’s missionary in China. The work has been a great one and “Daddy” Groff is to be honored for the great sacrifices he has made of self, the denial he has placed on himself and the willing way in which he carried on the Christian work in foreign lands. He has been a great factor in the building up of the Canton Christian College and is educating and relieving the primitative condi tions of the people of the district in which he has worked. He has done a worthy work with Penn State in back of him. Penn State should be proud of him and proud to have been the indirect cause of all this betterment. Those who have not yet filled in their pledge blank should do so at once and have the great consolation rest upon their minds and hearts that they arc having a part in this great work. Penn State should have a student county club representing every county in the state, from which students are attending this college. Several of our largest counties are without active organizations here and the students from these counties should get together and organ ize one or reorganize the old one and make it a live wire club. There is a great work for the county clubs both at Penn State and at home and it should be every Penn State man and woman’s special duty to see that they do their utmost for the collegt. The COLLEGIAN feels sure that those who have the love of Penn State 'at heart will arise and make these organizations worth while. Educate the people of the state to the work of the Pennsylvania State College! It is surprising how little the people know of this wonderful place. It is your duty to inform them of all things pertaining the college. Get busy, county club members. It's for Penn State.
