Newspaper Aesedatlee FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1921 News editor this issue__ SHORT CUTS It seems that a college man is always looking for short cuts; short cuts in reaching a solution of some problem; short tuts to wealth and fame; in fact it is partly the object of a college education to train a man to use short cuts properly. Now there is another sort of short cut which has become entirely too prevalent around Penn State and that is the, short cut to classes, at the expense of the campus. A short cut to classes is enitrely proper when that avenue is open, but the college campus, especially in such weather as we have but recently had, is not the proper place to establish the abbreviated route ,In short—DON'T CUT ACROSS THE CAMPUS It is the old, old story of pride in the college spirit, etc, again, but it must be brought to the student's attention Several unsightly paths have been made on different parts of the college lawns and if the practice continues we shall soon have a veritable crazy quilt of grass tufts instead of a real college campus So, in the true sense of the words, watch your step It is to be hoped that the plays being presented this and tomor row evening by the Rehabilitation Club will be widely attended The Rehabs have made themselves felt upon the campus by their many favorable attitudes toward things that are for the college good So their annual production of this year is befog given with a double pur pose in view, and therein they are providing far more good and are aiding is student enterprise. The success of their shows, naturally, will 'have a direct bearing on the amount of money that wilt be the Rehabilitation Club's offering to the Memorial Fund Inasmuch as Penn State students will soon make a concerted effort themselves to raise funds for this memorial, it is .to be expected that they will alleviate the work to be done later on, by subscribing heavily now The Rehabs deserve your support for two 'very good reasons Give it. It will be a big step toward Penn State's Memorial to her sons who partook of the'supremeT sacrifice. The COLLEGIAN-wishes , to remind the members of the various county clubs that -their support of the Publicity Department's desire so recently announced will be of considerable benefit' to the clubs themselves and will at the same time add to that department's abil ity in obtaining prominence for the college in various counties. It is a work that cannot be underestimated, and above all it requires the cooperation of the members'of the county clubs themselves . Again, the county reporters have been falling short of their mark since the Christmas recess. The Publicity Department has received very 'little aid from the clubs in this respect. If the re porters would only realize it, they could do a mighty work for the college .by picking up little items regarding men in their own coun ties who are doing things at .the college . Thus they provide feature news for the people in the county at home and at the same time give publicity to the benefits , being offered students by the college Let us have more cooperation from the county clubs Right now the department wishes, the names on all county club pictures Is there not one man , in each county club .who is spirited . enough to do this for his club and for his college' Let us do this work promptly and efficiently. - Have you made your decision yet regarding the-Student Volun teer Conference to be held at Lafayette next week-end' , If you have, it is well, because it has held some degree of importance to you. If you have not, then it is time that you take up the matter seriously and consider_it from all angles. This conference will be attended by a great,number of students from the eastern colleges of the country. They will have the benefit of hearing some of the most renowned workers and leaders in the church world of today, men who are really accomplishing great things for everybody. Penn State's quota must also be filled. Remember, if you possibly c attend, it is your duty to your college, your country and yourself to do so.
