Member of Intercollegiate Newspaper Assoc FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1921 News editor this issue J. \V. Snorer DID YOU SAVE FOR THAT PLEDGE? The campaign conducted directly before the close of college for the Christmas recess for the relief of students in central Europe net ted a sum total of $2OOO with approximately hundrd students participating At that time it was asked that each student take it upon himself to give aid to the sufferers in foreign lands, making up the amount he pledged by foregoing some pleasure while at home during the holidays. As previously stated about one-fifth of the student body were courageous enough to take this matter upon their hands Noteworthy among this number are Iwo hundred girl stu d.mts who participated. In other words, one-third of tne number of students who pledged support were girls Twenty members of the faculty gave four hundred dollars. Less than lour hundred men students out of approximately twenty-eight hundred pledged them selves to provide on the average five dollars per inns to this relief work. Where arc the other twenty-four hundred men students? Where do they classify themselves? Apparently they could not forego a Lingle pleasure while at home. Evidently they could not find some means of obtaining a few dollars to aid some needy student in cen tral Europe to combat the perils of n life which to him has.become 'niinrrdr because of the very lack of the essentials of life While we students were enjoying the comforts of home, partaking of the joys of the yuletide season, men and women students in Europe were perishing daily for want of the very nutrients required to hold body and soul together. Any heart that failed to keep in touch with the agonies of teen and women across the waters, during that period when the world rejoiced in the fact that there was at one time born Him Who is the Son of Man, lost the full significance of the Christ mas spirit. But the opportunity for nid still lies open. Those who pledged sums of money to aid these unfortunates may make good their pledges by paying the same this week end. Those who did not pledge themselves at the appointed time before the holidays may yet play a part in this great relief work. Let us fervently hope that out of the remaining four-fifths of the student hody„who have not been heard from in this matter, aid will be forthcoming In a matter of this kind self-consideration is not the prime point. Ser vice to others, espcially in such a worthy cause as this is, makes for a demonstration of the highest type of Christine fraternalism. FIFTY MINUTE PERIODS The general faculty of the college, m its December meeting, voted to return to the former schedule of classes and the conven tional fifty minute period. This change was not made, as might be supposed, as a punishment upon the students for failing to make the'best use possible of the extra hour granted for athletics, but for a very good educational reason This college has always been placed among the very highst in the country on the fifty -minute class hour basis. To have remained all year at the temporary schedule observed last fall would have meant a loss of this highly desired position; in fact the college would have been seriously discredited among other educational institutions of the country. That the general faculty believes an earlier closing hour to be the best for academic as well as athletic reasons is demonstrated by the fact that a special committee was appointed to look into the matter of devising, if possible, a plan whereby the college could go on a sven-period per day basis and thus close the day's work at four-thirty and permit of an hour for mass athletics. However, to maintain the college's standing, this change has very wisely been made. The student body is always in sympathy with any movement to keep Penn State at a level with other educa tional institutions to enable them to obtain the best results possible in their course of study and so the fifty minute period is adjudged, the best Whether a seven-hour day, as proposed, will be feasible with the present student body and facilities, is a matter of concern It is apparent that a curtailment of the length of the school day will be beneficial because it will permit of an hour each day for athletic purposes. Students manage to obtain sufficient exercise during the fall and spring months but during the winter season, they are unable to receive this aid to health and it is without question that the seven-hour school day will make this possible. The faculty is ever considerate of the students and the college in matters of this kind and its findings and decisions will be awaited with interest. The Athletic Association is to be commended on the splendid football schedule arranged for the season of 1021. Each succeed ing season finds Pcnn State playing athletic contests with institu tions that have never before met in that sport, and each in its turn finds the athletic relationship between 'this institution and others raised to higher levels than ever attained before. The scheduling of a contest with Harvard marks the return •to former relations be tween the two institutions. For the next three seasons the Naval Academy will be met. Georgia Tech is another new arrival. There is but one conclusion to be drawn from the appearances of these institutions on the gridiron schedule. Penn State is becoming re cognized more and more throughout the country and her fame the past two years is but indicative of her success in years to come.

Air is composed of molecules—billio.is and billions of them flying About in all directions and often colliding. The physicist's pump is - designed to make the molecules travel in one direction—out through' the exhaust. The molecules are much too small to be seen even with a microscope, but ,the pump jogs them along and at least starts them in the right direction. . A perfect vacuum would be one in which, there is not a single free molecule. For over forty years scientists have been trying to pump and jog and herd more molecules out of vessels. There are stall in the best vacuum obtainable more molecules per cubic centimeter than there are people in the world, in other words, about two,bilhon. Whenever a new jogging device is invented, it becomes possible to eject a few million more molecules. The Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company have spent years in trying to drive more and more molecules of air from containers. The duel purpose has been to study the effects obtained, as, for example, the boiling away,of metals in a vacuum. This investigation or high vacua had unexpected results. It became possible to make better X - ray tubes—better beEause the X -rays could be controlled; to make. the electron tubes now so essen tial in long-range wireless communication more efficient and trust worthy; and to develop an entirely ,dew type of incandescent lamp, one which is filled with a gas and which gives more light than any of the older lamps. • No one can foretell what will be the outcome of research in pure science. New knowledge, new ideas inevitably are gained. And sooner or later this new knowledge, these new ideas, find a practical application. For this reason the' prupary purpose of the Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company is the broadening of human knowledge. ON CO-OP CORNER What Is Vacuum?
