HOW ABOUT THAT SUBSCRIPTION Penn State students evidently do not appreciate the work being done by the COLLEGIAN board in publishing the paper twice a week this year This fact is forcibly brought out by the meager subscrip tion list that we have this year. But a little over 1100 students have taken subscriptions and some of these are yet unpaid. This has been but one of the many dilliculties which have boon-confronted by those publishing the paper this year and should be the least However, the stand taken has shown that it is one ol the largest and that some remedy should be had. Previous COLLEGIAN boards have publish ed the paper but once each week and then the ratio of subscriptions to the number of students in college has been greater than it is this year Other colleges are more tortunate Their student publications receive better support In most cuscs over half of the students sub scribe and a- goodly portion ot the alumni. In some instances, the subscription percent is almost perfect. There is no reason why this should not be the case at Penn State. The COLLEGIAN board is doing nil in its power to produce a paper twice a week and to make it a part of each student’s life. The Bulletin was taken up this year by the COLLEGIAN und additional features are being contemplated. Printing expenses are far above what they were last year. The cost of publishing the paper is much more. Paper has risen in price and with all the accessories which naturally fall in this lmc of work, it has been hard sledding to make ends meet. Yet, in site of all these price.increases, the COLLEGIAN Is producing the paper at a price ' Which'is really lesS~thun it was lust "year. Last'ycur the paper wus issued but once a week and the price was one dollar annd a half for the year This year the COLLCGIAN started a new thing, issued the paper* twice a week, and the price is two dollars seventy five cents, in short twenty-five cents cheaper. This deficit, it was thought would be made up by a much larger student subscription. Last spring, when the project was put before the student body for its support, the idea was greeted with pleasure and when asked for an indication of sup port, nearly every person in the Auditoroum at the time raised his hand in assent. Howcvcd, ’they have failed to “come through" this year. The students do not realize the problems that arise in thc-pub bcation of a paper, especially when so radically a change has been made, ns has been the case this year For a semi-weekly publication many changes must be made in advertising rates and in printing and these changes come slowly. Therefore, in order to make up for the loss ot advertising, which must pay a major portion of the cost ol publishing, the subscription list is used. And this year it-also has fallen down. The COLLEGIAN made the change this year entirely because it would some day bring to Penn State a daily newspaper and because it was felt that Penn State had grown suliiciently to support a semi-weekly publication as it should be supported. Il the stud ents still feel that they desire a pnpci of the size of the COLLEGIAN, nnd twice a week, then it is most urgent that those who have not sub scribed do so at once. One thing is certain. If more subscriptions are not forth-coming, the COLLEGIAN will be decreased in column width, although it will still be published twice a week SO, DO YOUR PART! THE MUSICAL The COLLEGIAN desires to call attention to the second number of the Y. M. C. A. and Department of Music entertainment course. This number is a very commendable one and while not of the same calibre as the New York Players, is the very best in its type. Stud ents who were present for the last concert received an expression of music that was wonderful. They heard music that was meant for per sons who understood and who can live the message of the notes in their soul. Many college students are not educated sufficiently in the art to be able to appreciate such work intelligently They do under stand the particular beauty of the music nnd the remarkable harmony of the players, along with their splendid technique, but the vital, inner meaning is lost. We arc none of masters at the art and consequent ly much of it is far beyond our reach. The Leiter Light Opera Com pany, however, presents light operatic music that is more readily un derstood. This is true because the majority of students have seen nnd heard most of the famous operas and portions are familiar to them. It will be a very good number and should be attended to by as many as can possibly do so. When Poverty Day is held next fall, the COLLEGIAN hopes that the present Freshman class will not be discourteous enough to do some of the things which were done this year. The matter referred to is the seizing of women nnd forcing Freshmen to perform in ludicrous fashion before them. In several instances they were women of ma ture years and elderly women and it was far from pleasant for them to be thus rudely seized and forced to hear the prntmgs of some half nude Freshman on his knees. These cases were rare, but neverthe less they existed nnd it is hoped that they will never occur again. Other cases occurred which were of similar type but not so extreme. Most of the girls were prone to look upon these mild instances as pleasantries, but in the few instances mentioned, they were anything but j'okcs. If the person who is being entertained is willing to take part in it, then all is well, but when they do not desire to be a party to it then it were far wiser they were let alone. Editor J. W.
