COOPERATE WITH STUDENT COUNCIL For the information oi those students who do not realile fhat there is a student council which regulates student action annd decides on all matters of importance to the student body, it is deemed neces sary that the students be told of some of the functions of this body, what it has done this year for the students and what the students should do in return. Each class elects an allotted number of men to represent it in the council it is te duty and privilege of these men to decide on matters of interest to their class and to the college in gen eral. They arc responsible for the action of the class and to the college in general. ( They arc responsible for the action of the class as a whole in the council and are delegated there for that purpose. Therefore it is without reason that any class should not abide by the decisions made by its representatives, nor the college as a whole by the council as sembled in regular session However, in spite of these facts, there have been a number of students who have not lived up to the regula tions set forth and it is to these men that the COLLEGIAN sends its message, because they lay responsibility on the college as a whole by their actions Student Council, believing it was acting for the best interests of the students and the college, made certain petitions to the Council of Administration for vacation and leave of absence periods so that the students might be accommodated at these times. All were granted as requested, save one, and in this case, the change made was slight j However, in the case of the recent week end, those students desiring to attend the Penn game were permitted to leave college at noon on Friday, and providing they did not leave earlier and returned not later than noon last Monday, permission was to be grantdd for them to moke up the work missed. Under no circumstances, however, was n student permitted to leave college. That this ruling was not lived up to is well nown In many cases it was most flagrantly violated, j Those men who did act within the limits prescribed are allowed to make j up their work and it is not those that we criticise. It is those who left i college before the prescribed time and who thus gave up all hope oii making up the work they were missing They stole from themselves; in this case what benefit had been granted them. This case sets forth very plainly that the students do not seem to care whether they obey rules or not They do not think a single iota of the responsibility they laid in the hands of student council when they brooe the rules Whether the student body knows it or not, the fact is certain that the council is responsible for all the former docs and makes its rules accordingly. The council believed that the stud ents would live up to the rules. Instead, some heedlessly broke them. Consequently student council was placed m a bad light, because it had guaranteed, and had believed in the students sufficiently, when it made the petition, that the rules would be lived up to However, now that this event is passed, let us make it a point to get back of the council in all that it docs Through its action it has obtained for the students several very nice vacotion periods. It is up to the students to see that all rules governing these occasions are obeyed. Without the council's consent, the free periods would not have been obtained. Students get back of the council and give it your hearty support. TRAFFIC CONDITIONS Because of the great number of out-of-town visitors and friends with machines that hnvc been at Penn State this year on special occa sions like the Alumni Home-Coming week-end and the more recent Pennsylvania Day celebration, the COLLEGIAN deems it advisable to suggest that some regulations be made for a more proficient accommo dation of these people and their cars, as far as traffic ts concerned. Allen Street, leading into and through the campus was the scene of a * steady stream of cars coming in both directions and many were parked on this drive on the campus Would ft not be advisable on such occa sions to make Allen Street a one-way street, making it only an en trance to the campus and allowing traffic to proceed only north on that street. Cars coming from New Beaver or the other portions of the campus could return to the town proper by McAllister street, making it also a one-way street, traffic going south. BRYAN LECTURE This evening Penn State students will have the opportunity of hearing one of the foremost speakers in America, William Jcnninßs Bryan, n man of great mental abilities, strong principles and staunch in what he believes to be best for all. Mr. Bryans endeavors during the last twenty yenrs have been the cause of many great topics of na tional interest. His activity in the campaign for prohibition was but one example of the many works he has undertaken to make this country a better one for its people. The Phi Kappa Phi has done 9 big thing in obtaining this great orator for an evening in State" College and any man of woman who fails to attend thts lecture will have thrown away a rare opportunity. The COLLEGIAN trusts that as many will attend as enn possibly do so. The very smallness of the admission fee will make it doubly possible for those to attend who could not do so were the lecture to take place in some large city. PENN STATE COLLEGIAN “WRITING OF BOOKS”'-' DR.

What Is wiltten in this indelible book deter mines the author's future. About two thousand years ago, a lone pi Isonur on an island of tho Aegean Sea had much time for rcllectldn. Ho wrote many letters and sunt them to his people although he coui'l never get to his own country tiirdn. Ko hud a luond vision, and from a statement of his come a few words which contain space for much thought—“ And the books weto open." It Is a pleasure to open books tha’ one has novel read before, and to go from page to page to dlscovt*. what they contain.
