CONGRATULATIONS
The COLLEGIAN wishes to congratulate every member of the
varsity football and cross country teams for the splendid part he
played in bringing about Blue and White supremacy last Saturday.
His was a glorious portion, combined with the work of the others in
bringing more glory to his Alma Mater. Penn State teams continue
to uphold their records and with proper support will keep on doing so.
Whether we become members of any "conference" or not, the Blue
and White will continue to exhibit to the critical world away from
these Nittany hills that in Center County there is a big State College
rather than the "little" institution many have supposed it to be. It
is another method of demonsrating to the people of the state what
Penn State is doing. The COLLEGIAN feels that the men on the
teams and the scrubs who made it possible for these men to be of the
high calibre they arc, deserve the highest commendation a student
body can possibly give.
APPRECIATION
When the varsity football squad arrived in Philadelphia last week
end, they were met at the station by Mr. Oscar Coolican, Manager of
the Locomobile Company at 'Philadelphia and transported in eight
Locomobile cars to the Cricket Club where they were housed over the
week end. During their entire stay several of these cars were at
their disposal and were a great feature in the accomodation of All.
In providing this pleasant feature to the vacant hours of the foot*
ball men, Mr. Coohcan tendered them a great courtesy, one which all
will remember him by. The COLLEGIAN expresses the opinion of
the studendts of the college when it tenders its appreciation and
thanks to Mr. Coolican for his hospitality and courtesy.
PERFECT THAT UNION
Tomorrow evening, the first meeting of the year for non-fraterni
ty men of the college wilt be held It is of utmost importance to these
men as well ns to Penn State that every unit man be on hand to assist
in the organization of his unit and the governing body for all units.
The work thet the students can do by their various organizations can
not be estimated, sufficient to say that with hearty cooperation, great
results can be attained, both for*thc students and the college. The
Penn State Union cannot become d vital factor in the college life unless
the non-fraternity men become organized and their plans so arranged
that good work may be done. The unit plan is not only a good one
from this standpoint Its possibilities for social improvement are
equally as great. Every man should make nt a point to be present
at this meeting and learn of the work to be done. The great slogan
of this hour at Penn State is "Get Organized.” When that has been
completed then we can expect to do things for the college. The
fraternity men arc organized through their councils. Let the non
fratcrnity men get busy and make their council a factor to them Then,
with cooperation by the governing bodies, we will be ready for ac
tion. In the election of officers for the units, make sure that you get
the best men in the offices 'lt is not only a matter of choosing the
most popular man, but moreso in electing the man who can carry on
the work best. Get together, unit men, and make your meeting to
morrow evening a success . Its for you and you only and the benefit
you derive therefrom is proportional to the interest you put in.
HOW ABOUT IT?
Although a constitutional amendment decreed that there should
be no more intoxicating beverages sold after a certain date, it is evi
dently not being lived up to in many parts of the country. A fact
which concerns us most specifically is that such “waters” make their
way to State College in sufficient quantity to make their presence
prominent. A good example of this was noted following the Alumni
Day celebration. The condition of a number of students and former
Penn Staters at that time was far from commendable. In former
years we have also been troubled with the same sort of conduct on
Pennsylvania Day. The COLLEGIAN has made appeals from time to
time that the students realize what their actions may mean to the
college and that such activities be ceased.
This year, of all years, when'the college finds itself in the most
critical condition in its history, it is of utmost importance that Penn
State men comport themselves with strict propriety. The people of
the state are becoming more and more acquainted with this, their
state college, each day and it is certainly to be desired hhat they shall
learn only good of the institution and tits students. Inasmuch as the
student life in the greatest measure, reflects on the college, it is
therefore a matter for the students alone. They are the ones who
shall judge whether their conduct is favorable or not. If it is un
favorable, then college action can remove the disturbing factors.
However, we do not wish any such action, but father a hearty cooper
ation from the students to remove the evils.
Penn State men who really are interested in their college’s wel
fare will not do these things. They will do all in their power to
counter act the influence brought about by any such occasions. There
is only one way to look at this matter and that is through the med
ium of the college itself. Would it not be nice for word to circulate
through the State that at Stnte College, on its annual Pennsylvania
Day celebration, were under the influence of strong drink
and were ungentlemanly in their actions? Any person who stops to
think of the matter will realize that the impression thus created would
be very unfavorable. Thus, since this matter refers only to a small
number of students, let us all cooperate and see to it that the'number
is lessened to such an extent that it will be nil.
