They will have a first hand opportunity of seeing the college and its varied activities while with us and will be witnesses of the track meet between Penn State and Colgate, which also occurs tomorrow on New Beaver Field. it is from these boys and their comrades through out the state that Penn State draws its new men and upon which the college depends for its supply of raw material _for the perpetuation of the college traditions and high ideals. Many of these boys will no doubt enter here as Freshmen this fall and will come under the influence of our traditions and in turn will exert an influence of their own. The example of college spirit and uprightness of character as shown mpon the athletic field tomorrow will serve to demonstrate to them the ideals of Penn State, and the plane_which we strive to maintain here. They will have a chance to see what this institution is like. They will view our buildings and explore our campus, and lastly, but by far the most important, they will have a glimpse of the student body. This last is what they. will, remember, and this will largely decide the report of our institution which they will carry to the four corners of the state._ The bearing and - attitude of the student body will be the impression which will last the longest. In truth we will be under the keen-eyed inspection of the observing youth of the state tomorrow, and we want them to see Penn State in its best light,- as the molder of the lives of her students WANTED-A SONG WRITER Some x weeks ago, the Department of Music announced a contest open to all for a represedtaive Penn State song, either the words or music alone or both, preferably the latter. The aim of the depart ment was to stir up interest in college song writing and to obtain a song of a serious and thoughtful nature that would contain the spirit of Penn State and would breathe the atmosphere of the college. It was realized that Perin State is in need of such n a - song which so many other colleges and universities have, and by 'offering a prize of one hundred dollars it was hoped to gain the desired end and obtain the much needed song. The contest is open to-all students, faculty members, or alumni. So far very little response has met the an nouncement and the prize is still unawarded. As the contest closes at Commencement time, there is only a short period left in which to write a good song and those who intend to enter the contest should submit their manuscript immediately. This need of more college songs has been long felt and the complaint is •frequently made that Penn State has too few good songs. This is true and we hope that this contest with the hundred dollar prize awaiting the successful entrant will produce the required manuscript. All manu script and music should be sent to the Secretary of Song Contest, care of the Department of Music. CAMPUS SINGING • Only slight support has been given by the college to the campus singing movement which was launched Tuesday evening - by the De partment of Music. At the first gathering on the Front Campus for the purpose of a combined song fest, there were approximately sixty people present. This movement deserves the active support of every man and woman in State College, as everyone likes singing and there is no better way of satisfying this desire than mass sing ing. In this way, the fine technique of the solo singer is obviated and all are free to join in with the combined group. Such services as these, which will be held every Tuesday evening at seven o'clock by the flag poles, have a great although unappreciated influence on the college. They foster our democratic spirit and serve to unify the student body. They also act to better acquaint the men with each other and broaden us to a considerable extent. They also cre ate a certain esprit de corps, as was demonstrated by the community singing conducted during the war to raise the morale of the people. These services can be made a big factor in our college life and if supported will exert a big influence. - THE LAWN Iran The annual lawn fete which is being held by the Senior girls this evening in front of the Woman's Building will no doubt be an enjoyable affair if past experiences are any indications. The object of the fete is a most worthy one, namely the increase of the woman's loan fund and for this reason as well as on account of the enjoyable time which is sure to be had, it should receive the support of every one. The features of the affair including dancing, cards, and edibles will provide ample entertainment and all who attend are sure of a delightful time besides the knowledie that they are aiding a worthy cause. - , .
