RECEPTION TO NEW STUDENTS
Get acquainted’ Every college man needs friends; they are of
incalculable'value to him Acquaintanceship leads to friendship and
true friendship is one of tn cthings to be most desired in life At Penn
State, where a man is in college twenty-four hours of the day, ever,
student needs many friends The fellow who goes through college,
and does not toim some of his most esteemed friendships among his
classmates and fellow-students i sfoosing much that life at this insti
tution holds loi him. New men, it is up to you to become acquaint
ed. One of your first opportunities lies in the Y M C A Reception
which will be held on the front campus tonight at seven o’clock The
program which has been arianged includes short talks by some of the
most prominent officials of the college and selections by the Band
and Glee Club Ihcse will make the evening interesting, but the
greatest value tnat is to oe obtained from the reception is promotion
ot acquaintanceship Do not miss this opportunity of getting nr,
injection of the "hello habit” Now men, you will be on the front
campus tonight at seven. Penn State tradition demands it
STAMPS FOR FOOTBALL TRIPS
The novel plan, wnereby the athletic authorities ot the Carnegie
Institute of 'lechnology hope to have almost-one hundred per cent
|attenrL“\ce_of the student body~.it the Carnegie lecn;—Penn State
Undergraduates^
Savings Stamps pun and will be conducted under the title of ‘ iVnr
State I rip Savings Stamp Campaign.” Stamps will be sold to the
students at twenty-rive cents each and the latter will then paste
them in a folder, winch will hold stamps to the total of fourteen dol
lars, a sum equivalent to the cost of-the trip From Pittsburgh to State
College and return A special appeal will be made to the Tech stud
ents during the next two months to Forgo a few luxuries such as candy
movies, cigarettes, etc, and it is hoped that in this manner the move
ment will go through with'decided success.
The enthusiasm with which the school as a whole is taking up the
stamp idea at Carnegie Tech indicates the possibility of inaugurating
a similar plan at Penn State This season the Blue and White gridiron
team will be called upon to face perhaps the hardest schedule in the
history ot the college and it is obvious that the full support of the
students will be necessary This stamp idea might be a big help in
boosting the undergraduate attendance at the Navy, Georgia Tech, and
Harvard games The active students, in addition to the many alumni
who always attend the contests away from home, would make a fine
impression at the games and would greatly strengthen the morale of
the team Never before lias a Nittany eleven support of
her rooters so much, and this scheme seems quite feasible. Approxi
mately two months remain before the big away games and the stud
ents have suflicient time to raise the necessary carfare, but there is
no time to wait. We must act at once if the plan" is'to be effective
this year '
THE LIBRARY SITUATION
The important changes in the regulations concerning the use of
the library will greatly increase the service of that department of the
college to the student body. Because of the crowded conditions at
Penn State, the executive of the College has ruled that the Library
shall no longer furnish study room and that the book stacks shall be
closed Some student sentiment has been expressed that the library
is being curtailed, but upon giving due consideratom to the facts it
may be seen that under the new Tulmgs the interests of all concerned
will be bettered.
Since the construction of the library in 1904, the size of the stud
ent body has increased from about five hundred to over three thousand
undergraduates. This growth of the college has been especially felt
in the Library, where the seating capacity of the main, or reference
room, is only one hundred and seventy. In the past it has been the
habit of students to use this building as a studying place during vac
ant hours and, as a result, its strictly legitimate use had been hampered.
In this advance in the size of the student body, the hbi ary has been
forced to endure the crowded conditions more than any other division
of the college. Among the other departments, this increase has been
evenly divided and the congestion has not been so severe To the
library, however, come all the students from all the different schools
and, thus, the massed state of affairs has greatly hampered their work..
* 1° losing the book stacks and the seminer rooms, the officials
have only taken the final step in the plan which they have been gradu
ally putting into effect for the past few years. The library is ap
proaching the number of eighty thousand volumes and it is no longer
possible to permit unrestricted access to the books. The larger libi
nries all operate under this closed stack system by which jt is pos
sible to allow a greater distribution of books among a greater number
of people. -
All books in the building are still available to readers by merely
presenting a call slip containing the number of the book desired. As
before, small open shelf collections of new books, of books recom
mended for general reading, and of selected fiction will be maintained.
Ihe reference books in the reading room are also freely available for
use within the room
After a short time under the new regulations, students will dis
covei that they arc receiving a better library service and that the
change has been made for the better It may take an interval to be
come adjusted to the new conditions but time will test the wisdom of
