CLASS RESPECT
Several weeks ago the COLLEGIAN commented on the conduct
of students at meets in the Armory -While to some extent observance
of the seating arrangements has resulted, yet the portions regarding
reservations for seniors and letter men are being flagrantly violat
ed. When one looks over these sections of the stands, it is easy to
note the number of underclassmen and even juniors who occupy the
places - that should be held by •seniors and men who have won their
letters in varsity sports.
Is class respect dead at Penn State 2 Have the members of the
three lower classes no honor for those men, who, through long hours
of endeavor have won what some less inspired members of the
student body covet 9 We believe that for the most part students still
hold to the principles of_class superiority, but that there are those
among us who have little regard for it. It is 'very true that each man
has paid the same athletic fee as the other, and that the seating space
IS woefully lacking, but it is equally true that the rights of those men
who are enjoying the fruits of their last year in college should be
observed. There will be more indoor meets this semester and it is
highly important that students emphasize the' rights of others. It
is impossible to enforce the rules of ,the seating committee other than
by student sentiment g that cannot bring results , then we may feel
safe in surmising that student sentiment and class respect is indeed
at a very low ebb, and that our highly touted Penn State spirit is not
what we claim • it to be. Let us note a greater observance to rules
hereafter. When and then only can we feel, that our, beloved, college
spirit really means something to
BACK UP ME OUTING CLUB
After considerable work and effort that has lasted' throughout
the past semester, the students in charge of the activities of the
embryo Outing Club have succeeded in a number of their attempts
to obtain something tangible for the club to work upon. Now they
are ready for a vast student support. This Wednesday evening a meet
ing will be held when, it is safe to say, much of the future success of
the organization will tie determined. Penn State can and must have
an Outing Club that is a live wire affair. Only the studenls can make
it such. Without further ado regarding the numerous benefits to be
obtained from association with such a club, it is hoped that this meet
ing will be widely -attended and that an enthusiasm so virile and' so
marked, will result that in the future the Penn State Outing Club will
be a big portion of the students of the college
The Letter Box
rebruary-1, 1921
The tinker has observed in a recent
Issue of the State College Times that
State College has been promoted to a
postonice of the first class.
We are glad to be informed of the
fact, for one would never guess it with
out being told. Personally, we Seal that
It should be put in a class by Itself, be
came for all around Inefficiency and
lack of service, It can't be beat.
Perhaps now that It Is a first class

a week and maybe It will be open on
Tuesdays between one and two Such
shocks would be more than we could
bear and would only be made worse
If they Informed us that mail would be
