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.
