WHAT ACTIVITY HAVE YOU ENTERED?
This year, perhaps more so than has been the case for a number
of years. Penn State student organizations and positions are going
begging for sufficient material to carry on their work effectively for
the present and future. Numerous calls have been issued, especially
for underclassmen, to try out for the various student publications and
for managerial positions, as well as for candidates for the sports
themselves. However, in spite of these calls, men fail to put in ap
pearance for tryouts for the positions. Why this condition exists is
pretty much problematical. The fact remains that it is so and that
there must be explanation given and a concerted effort made to induce
underclassmen to take up such work as side issues to their school
•work.
It is without question that men are here to obtain knowledge from 1
books and in the classroom, but it is equally true that they must seek
other avenues of endeavor in order to broaden their lives and to ob
tain knowledge and pleasure which they do not receive in their regu
lar scholastic work. There are many opportunities at Penn State for
men to enter into activities which, when followed through with all
the endevor possible, will prove profitable and beneficial to them.
No man is suited for all the work that may be done. Many do not
know what they may be able to accomplish. A great number seem
to have no desire to learn of other things but are content to enjoy the
results of others' work. Men enter sports for which they are absolute
ly unfitted. They take no consideration of their capabilities nor of
the use they might make of them. Some sports are over-crowded
with applicants while others go begging. The real reason of this
phase of the matter is apparently due to the fact that at Penn State
are several sports which are not found in preparatory or high schools
and consequently the new men do not know of them. Therefore it
is evident that they must be educated to the benefits to be obtained
from the various types of physical education offered. There is but
one way to learn of the character of a sport and that is to go out and
enter that sport. If one is satisfied that it is not the sport for him,
then he should enter another, more suited to him. If one is capable
of entering into it with the best of his ability, then he should remain at
it and with constant application of his faculties, will make something
of that sport and of himself. The same is true of managerial posi
tions. Men who are unsuited or who do not care for particular phases
of athletics, have opportunities in other directions. College publica
tions are likewise suffering because there is not a sufficient number of
men who are willing to work for positions on their staffs. Many men
would enter into these activities but they feel that they have had little
or no training along these lines. However there is no bar to en
trance into the lists, and has never been, because in most cases, the
men who have come out on top of the ladder in their climb for the
highest position on these publicatiions are men who have had no prev
ious experience, but who had confidence enough in themselves to try
to make good and to achieve the coveted post.
_ Many students do not realize the benefits to be obtained by work
done during college days at some certain activities. They do not
think of the future, but rather incline toward a leisurely life during
their term at college. A man who spends his spare hours profitable
along-some line of work will on some future day reap* the reward of
that work. ‘ Penn State is without a School of journalism, but the day
may come when she will be able to offer courses in this type of work
which will parallel those of other institutions. In the meantime the
opportunities offered by.student publications should not be over look
ed. By this type of work the student becomes acquainted with men
who are active in the work of the college and outside world. Here' is
opportunity for a wealth of knowledge which is not to be obtained in
any other fashion. The COLLEGIAN hopes that the underclassmen will,
avail themselves of the opportunities thus afforded.
A FURTHER INCENTIVE
Elsewhere in these columns appears a copy of resolutions recently
drawn up for the purpose of showing student appreciation of work
done for futherance of the name and glory of the college. In them
selves these resolutions provide incentive for students to put forth
their very best efforts to achieve glory in parallel respects. There are
many ways in which the student may materially aid himself and the
college and the reward is always a sweet from life’s horn of plenty,
ever memorable for the associations under which it was obtained.
The men to whom these tokens of appreciation are addressed are men
who have labored many hours that they might be of service. They
have received in return for their ‘efforts the highest student appre
ciation which can be given. It is a notable example to other students.
May they make use of it.
COUNTY CLUBS CAN HELP
Several weeks ago the Publicity Department asked for aid from
the various county clubs in order to prepare a type of work for them
which would materially aid in sending news'of the college and of its
students to the many cities and towns from which they come. Very
few have responded. They should, on the contrary, enter into this
work with whole-hearted desire, inasmuch as it is for the good of Penn
State. Through their efforts, the people of the state may learn of the
activities of their student representatives at the college and incident
ally more of the work at the college. • Thus they will be better prepar
ed to appreciate the needs of this great institution and to support any
movement for its growth and improvement. The county clubs and
reporters can assuredly do a great work and it is to be sincerely hoped
that they will not be found wanting in their endeavors for Penn
State.

Tor extension work such as never be
fore attempted by a college ft r min

Classes for the instruction t f mine
workers will be started in twenty towns
during the coming month, more than
trebling the first efforts of the college
mine extension work when last year six
<-nal region towns had night classes
for miners. Professor W. G. Duncan,
former mine worker, foreman, ir spector
and safety engineer, conduc ed the
work with success last year, and as
supervisor and extension will start a
tour through the Central Pennsylvania
coal district on Monday morning, or
ganizing classes. The School o! Mines
will supervise the operation of the
classes, furnisli lessons and di 'cct in
struction. Lack of funds for this
work will be a handicap for the col
lege at first, but with the splendid co
operation offered by mining men, little
dillieulty is expected in getting the
work well established.

Dairy Judging Team
Wins High Honors
The Pennsylvania State College Dairy
Judging Team, composed of Leßoy
HofTor ’2l. W. H. Davis ’2l. C 13. Rub
ner ’2l, and C. E. Mowrer ’2l. alter
nate. make a splendid record in the
Student Dairy Cattle Judging Contest
at the National Dairy Show at Chicago
last week. The Pennsylvania Team
was excelled by only four other colleges
out of the twenty-one entered in Die
contest. Kansas won first, followed by
lowa. Kentucky and Indiana.
Three different classes, consisting of
cows, hulls and heifers, were judged in
each of the four main dairy breeds—
Ayrshlres, Guernseys, Jerseys amid Hol
stelns. The Pennsylvania State Coll
ege Team did exceptionally well in
Judging Holstelns and Ayrshires, and
won second place in the Ayrshire class.
Mr. Rubnor, who was the high man
on the team at the Eastern States Ex
position, also did excellent work at
Chicago. Mr. Hoffer was second highest
man out of the sixty-three contestants
in Holstein judging and thus stands a
good chance of securing the $4OO Hol
stein Scholarship for post-graduate
work awarded by the Holstein Fresian
Association of America to the man
ranking highest In judging Holstelns.
Mr. Hoffer was also fourth highest
man in Ayrshire judging. Mr. Davis
was third highest man among tiie sixty
three contestants in Judging all breeds.
He thus receives ono of the Gold Medals
awarded by the National Dairy Show
Association to the three students mak
ing the highest average score in judg
ing all breeds.
The good showing made by the Penn
State men reflects credit not only on
the members of the team but also upon
the conch, Professor A. L. Beam, and
will be an incentive for future Dairy
Judging Teams.
Mrs. Fox was bragging one day about the large
number of her cubs.
“How many cubs do you bring into the world at
one time?” she asked the LIONESS.
“Only ONE,” replied the Lioness — “but iris a
LION.”
MURADS COST 20 CENTS for a EOX
of 10—BUT THEY’RE MURADS!
MURADS would be lower priced if we left out
all or part of the 100% Turkish tobaccos of the purest
and beS: varieties grown —or if we substituted inferior
grades of Turkish tobacco.
But they wouldn’t beMUßADS—they’d only be
Foxes!
