GIVE WILSON A CHANCE
Penn State is exceptionally fortunate in having such a man as J.
Stitt Wilson present a series of addresses. He comes here with a
reputation as a political scientist of world wide reputation and a labor
leader of great ability, having a remarkable insight into the discus
sion which is taking place between labor and capital. Ho knows the
Socialist party and the platform of that party as very few men know
it. He has at the same time a remarkable faith in the value of the
teachings of Christ as a solution for the present day problems His
personality is very unique and holds the interest of his audiences.
Other colleges have been deeply interested in the man and record
crowds have heard all his addresses. He comes here hoping to put
his message before the entire Penn State student body. It is hardly
fair to the man if any criticism is offered before hearing his message.
Certainly no Penn State man is going to miss hearing the most prac
tical idealist who has visited Penn State for some time. Logical
thinking marks j. Stitt Wilson as a man particularly well adapted to
speak to students. Here's a proposition—hear him at least once on
Thursday and if he doesn’t have some message, don't go again** If he
has something real—don’t miss the remaining lectures of the Wilson
World Series.
COUNTY CLUBS—GET BUSY!
What is your county doing? How many county club mem
bers are active enough to be able to fully answer that question? At
Penn State are many county organizations whose power for good to
tho individual and the college is only limited by the members interest
and initiative. Being such a factor for good to the college, it is hardly
conceivable that some of the clubs could be classed as "back numbers"
as regards this very point. Yet such is the case and it is to be hoped
that it ma be remedied promptly.
The publicity department of the college has attempted to organ
ize the various county clubs into units of a publicity organization that
will spread into every section of the state. Clubs were requested to
elect reporters whose duty it would be to turn in county club notes to
the publicity office every two or three weeks, the department offering
to see that the news was sent to the papers and also that it was written
up in good newspaper form. Ihc work of the reporters was to be
about fifteen minutes every two weeks. The movement was started
last spring and the county papers have been anxious to receive articles
concerning the activities of their own students. Thus far, about
seven clubs have been on the job, and the department Is appreciative
of their efforts. But this number is so little in comparison to What it
should b*c that the work as a whole has not progressed one whit since
last year.
It is the duty of every county club reporter to do the work ap
pointed him. 'lt is likewise the duty of every county club officer to
see that the reporters are on the job, giving the people of their sec
tion of the state the news which they are so desirous of obtaining in
regard to the college and the students from their counties.. It is,
further, the duty of the individual members of the clubs to prod the
reporters and to assist them in making their work more efficient. If
the officers of the clubs arc at fault, get after them. And above all,
be awake to the fact that your organization is the one and only one
which can exert real influence for the students of your section, in
that section of the state. Again, the COLLEGIAN would suggest
that during the Christmas holidays the county clubs have a date set
when they will meet at a convenient center and present to an open
meeting of all interested, regardless of their affiliations in the outside
world, the big problem before the college in securing sufficient fin
ancial aid to carry on the work of educating the sons and daughters
of the commonwealth. This meeting might bo of a type which would
make a specialty of having business men and all others interested in
the county come to this meeting and hear more fully, from'studenis
who understand the proposition, or faculty members delegated for that
purpose, of the needs of th collqge. It would aid greatly in spreading'
broadcast the requirements of the college. It would be doing the col :
lege a great service. It would show the people of the state and that
particular county that the boys and girls from that county that go to
Penn State for their education have a whole-hearted interest in her
welfare. It is a duty which we can ill afford to lose sight erf. County
club members, awaken to the possibilities before you.
LEST WE FORGET
Penn State’s name and fame was again carried to a higher crest
when the soccer team made such a glorious achievement on its last
trip. The fact that the victories won then have caused sufficient stir
among other large institutions having successful soccer teams makes
the Penn tate Steam team doubly prominent. It is most pleasing 'to
npte the success which the sport has met this year and it is to be hoped
that other minor sports will receive the same backing and enthusiastic
support that soccer has received.
