HAVE WE LEFT GOD OUT?
"Pray without ceasing" commanded the Men centuries
ago, and from that time, the foundation of Christianity has been pray
er. To accept prayer blindly is a fallacy likewise to follow a set form
merely from habit usually is of little avail. Real prayer is intensive,
requiring energy and effort. It’s no small task to really pray—it’s a
job large enough to challenge all.
Prayer is a heartfelt desire spontaneously expressed to God. A
real prayer grips the person who prays man unmistakeable way. It is
man’s means of communication with God—as Frank Buchman sayS "A
Long Distance Telephone with God.." By it, man is lifted to higher
planes, ideals are strengthened and an inspiration for work results.
Prayer satisfies, for by it man tends to forget himself and lays his
burdens and problems on God. Prayer is an acknowledgement of
the omnipotence and omniprcscce of God. By this acknowledgement
man becomes a better servant to his fellows.
Penn State has problems to solve, problems of the individual and
of the group. The Honor System time and again is discussed. Gam
bling, petty thieving, hazing and a multitude of other questions face
us every year, and in the majority of cases, little seems to be accom
plished in their alleviation Can it be possible that God has been left
out of the calculations? Penn State is not t&o small for God to no
tice, nor so good that He is not needed Why not give Him a chance?
When these problems again arise, should we not be prepared'to meet
them with a sense,of Judgmcaumre-ihan human? We areall_anx
timeto occasionally turn out desires God-ward, believing that from
Him, a degree of satisfaction and an abundance of wisdom will come.
WHERE WE STAND
Student Council’s action last Tuesday evening in regard to the
betting of large sums of money on athletic contests and in general, was
a most commendable one. It was decided that gambling on a large
scale, pooling of large sums of money and telegraphic wiring of money
from organizations and individuals of one college to those of another
should be most decidedly discouraged. It is also very pleasing to note
how the leading men about college, not only students connected with
student affairs, but faculty men connected with both faculty and
student affairs have lined up on one side against the practice which,
unfortunately, has been with us at several instances this fall. The
decision thus reached is a weighty one and one which should in the
future bring about a better relationship between college students.here
and at other institutions.
Whether betting, as it is meant in this sense, is right or not from
the college man’s standpoint is a matter which we believe will in some
future day be thrashed out and recommendations toward discourage
ment of which will also be made. Wc arc more vitally concerned at
present with the proposition of decreasing the amount and the num
ber of bets that arc being handled between students and student or
ganizations of contesting colleges. It is a high hope which has been
reached by the opponents of betting that the amount and number of
bets will soon be decreased to a sufficient degree and sentiment creat
ed against it so greatly that in the near future there will be no more
such practices conducted by college students, whether for their own
desires or acting for another. Betting on the whole has always been
looked upon ns an undesirable method of handling one’s money, the
belief being that it rather encourages men to be reckless, tends to
make them less law or conscience abiding and certainly has no moral
backing.
Telegraphing large sums of money, pooling, and betting on a large
scale, are certainly undesirable things for college men. Not one of
these increases their love and loyalty to tho college; It does not
increase their ardor and faith in the teams. .It does place sports and
college activities on a commercial basis and detracts mightily from the
true meaning of college spirit. At Penn State men are strong in
their faith and loyalty to all that means Alma Mater. There is not
a single act which would detract from the good name of the college
that a Penn State man would perform were he advised properly be
forehand that it were a wrong against himself and his college. No
college can afford to go on with a name held high when its students
make of their activities and those of the student representatives, a
commercial proposition. The great difficulty in most cases lies in the
fact that a college student or group of students will advise those
of other colleges that they have a certain,amount of money which they
are desirous of laying against a like amount or a proportionate am
ount produced by tho other student or students, on tho results of a
contest in which teams of the two colleges in quesion will meet. It is
possible that these men call this operation an example of college loy
alty and spirit, but in truth it is merely a hollow, selfish desire to,pro
fit in any easy manner by the recklessness and chance taking spirit of
another, leaving the contest itself, or the work of the men on the
teams but a minor feature, to be commended if the team wins and to
be Tidiculed or mocked if it loses. It is this spirit of recklessness, this
desire for personal gain, this desire to appear well in the eyes' of one’s
fellows ,by n- large display of currency, that will in some future day
wreck the fondest dreams of many a future citizen and many, a.col*
lege. Remember, above all, your college comes first. Let this-point
guide you in the future when personal acts may jeopardize her*good
name.

Tiio chemists In iho bureau have
heretofore dovoloited many processes
from a laboratory standpoint that ap
pear to have great commercial value
of which wo montion especially those
which pertain to tho use of wasto pro
ducts or by-products In producing mat
erials of value olthor os food products
or for uso in tho Arts. Tho work of tho
Development Division will bo to see that
ionsldcrod from an
thoso processes aro
cnglnoorlng standponlt, to boo If they
can bo properly commercialized and, if
so, that In each case equipment Is sol*

ed to produco a givon quantity of pro
duct and tho cost of manufacture com
pared with tho prlco of such commer
cial commodity as may now bo on tho
market comparod with this cost of pro
duction. Tho problem also of geogra
phical IcoaUon of a plant or plants to

with all of Its \arying factors must
also bo caroftfliy considered. These en
gineering problems aro those of tho In

Director of tho Division, and ona of
his assistants, Mr. H. R. Brown, visited
tho college on Monday to confor with
Dean Sackott of tho Engineering School
and Professor Kunzo, head of the In

of securing tho cooiwratlon and aid of
tho I. E. Department In developing'tho
engineering foatures of commercializing
of tho chomlsts efforts.
At present tho Bureau of Chemistry
has seven different projects In more or
loss partial stato of complotlon. It Is
expected that tho work of perfecting
tho engineering features will bo carried
on in only one coso this year but tho
field of service that may bo developed
from this small beginning promlsos to
bo very great. Much loss of time, effort,
and monoy will bo saved by tho avoid
ance of too deep a plungo Into complete
organization In many projects by tho
proper engineering consideration of tho
manufacturing possibilities and costs
and tho sldo lights that may Issuo from
contemplation of tho projects may lead
to much valuable Information.

TURKEY DAY RECALLS '
FORMER PITT CLASHES
In tho lost ton years -Stato has had
many Important ‘ gamos with strong
Pitt olovons on Thanksgiving day. On
tho twonty-flfth of November, 1910, tho
biggest crowd that had over witnssed
a football gamo In Pittsburgh saw Cap
tain Gray's valiant mon loso to Pitt 11
to 0 on tho Forbes Hold gridiron. It
was'ono of tho games!‘Strugglos over
put up by any Blue and TCblto team.
Pitt's ,only i first downs came os the
result of well directed passes whllo
State's backs gained consistently by lino
plunging, yet , wore "outlucfcod” and
lout by two touchdowns. "Shorty" Mil
ler was tho star of tho gams and el
ectrified tho crowd at tlmos by splendid
end runs
Nino years ago on Thanksgiving day.
Penn Stato closed a brilliant football
season with a three to nothing victory
ovor tho University of Pittsburgh. Tho
game was played on Forbos Field In
mud ankio-doop but this did not provont
It from being a remarkablo gamo. It
was one of tho closest and most bitterly
contested battles ovor staged by teams
representing tho two Institutions. Cap
tain Very, loador of tho Btuo and White
elovon, played a wonderful gamo at
right end and provod himself worthy of
tho honor conferred upon him when ho
was chosen as a-running partner to
White of Princeton on several All-Am
erican teams.
On "Turkey 1 ' day oight years ago,
Captain Mautho, with hts Blue and
Whlto warriors, administered to Pitt
an overwhelming dofeat on Forbos
Field, conquering thorn by a score of
38 to 0. Tho Bluo and Whllo outclassed
tho Bluo and Gold in every department
of tho gamo. Stato had more speed, was
hotter trained, possessed moro versat
ility In her groatcr number of plays, and
showed better command of all plays at
tempted. In this gamo Captain Mautho
kicked tho longest field goal reported
for tho soason.
