TWO MILLION DOLLARS
A publicity campaign which is to pave the way for a gigantic
effort on the part of Penn State to raise two million dollars was start
ed last week. The opening gun has been fired which is to start a drive
which in turn will culminate in a state-wide offensive for recognition as
a state university The college is passing through a period which
will probably write more history than its past decades of existence.
Students attending Penn State in these - present years will probably
witness a transformation of a greater and more extensive character
than has happened in the past. A battle of no mean consequence is on!
The publicity that is to be given the coming campaign will reach
every nook and cranny of the commonwealth Through the news and
editorial columns of the city dailies and the rural publications will be
sent out a call to the men of the state to approve of an Emergency
Building Fund, the canter's of which may be used for the erection of
those buildings most needed on the campus at the present time
Posters will be scattered throughout the countryside announcing the
latest plans of the college. Nothing is to be left undone to acquaint
the citizens of the state with the imperative needs of the institution.
The use of the Emergency Building Fund will not be c limited,
although it will be called upon first to sponsor the erection of build
ings for social, athletic, and health activities of the student body. The
thirty-two hundred students that now attend Penn State need more
than the small and inadequate hospital that is located on the campus
at the present time, more than one gymnasium that must accommodate
in the winter months the throngs attending an indoor athletic event.
A social hall is needed as was proved this last week end and a larger
track house must be erected if the collegeis to keep abreast of the
times At present, the girl students are neglected entirely and must
be satisfied with the use of the boys' gymnasium at certain times in the
week. Both the men and the women of ,Penn State must haiie better
residential facilities if the college is to expand. e
This is a matter that deserves the support of every Pennsylvanian
and no citizen of the state should hesitate to stamp his whole-hearted
approval to the project that will start in a few months. The records
of the past few years show that the college authorities have been com
pelled to refuse admittance to deserving applicants on an ever in
creasing scale until last year, a total of eleven hundred were denied
a privilege that is rightfully theirs And the answer of "No room" is
given the indignant tax-payer who wishes to know why the richest
state in the union does not foster an educational system suited to its
needs.
The provision in the plans for residences for both men and women
will solve one of the greatest problems facing the college, and the
erection of the other proposed buildings will give the college equip
ment to meet the expansion that is surely coming. Raising the aca
demic standards, continued success in athletics, adequate social and
recreational facilities will cause an influx of applicants that will de
mand recognition and this will forcibly impress upon the voters of the
state the justice of Penn State's cause.
THE TWO YEAR AGS
The action of Student Council one week ago in appi oving the
constitution of the two year ag class is the culmination of a long
time endeavor for recognition by the members of the class The fact
that these students are not enrolled in any regular four year course
and that they are not required to present entrance credit was consid
ered sufficient reason for disregarding their existance completely, but
the folly of this course of action has asserted itself more strongly
during recent years
Penn State customs occupy an enviable position in collegiate
circles today. However, our friends in the two year course were not
satisfied with the attitude of the regular student and they have sub
mitted a petition that has been granted Henceforh, they must obey
certain customs that will take away some of the freedom previously
enjoyed No longer will they be permitted to walk in the town or on
the campus with the privileges that belong only to upperclassmen
They must wear hats and coats at all times and must obey other regu
lations. This is but a fair stand to take 'and everyone should endorse
this move on the part of Student Council
WHERE WERE THE "ROUGH-NECK" 'SOPHOMORES?
We wonder where all the proverbial "rough-neck" Sophomores
were concealing themselves last Saturday afternoon when class spirit
would demand that every able and true man rally to the class yell to
compete against the Freshmen in the annual tie-up scrap. Barely
enough members of the second year class reported for the battle to
make up one heat of fifty men. Credit is due this paltry number for
successfully taking part in four rushes and winning the scrap for the
Sophomores. But, we repeat, where were their classmates
Such scraps serve as a tangible way to measure class spirit and, if
the spirit of the 1924 class was to be measured by its turnout' last
Saturday afternoon, we wonder what the future of the class and the
future of Penn State will be. If the class can not muster enough
members in its Sophomore year for a scrap, it is debatrlble if it will be
able to interest its members for the remainder of its college career.
If this is an indication of a declining Penn State spirit, something
must be done to remedy this condition
And, we further assert that there was no excuse for every able
Sophomore not being present. Student Council takes special precau
tions that all obiectionable practices and dangerous results are elimi
nated. Speaking of class scraps, the Student's Handbook clearly
states, "All members of the Freshman and Sophomore classes are
eligible to take part in the contests except those who are excused on
account of physical disability or are on approved athletic lists. All
other men are expected to be on hand ready to take part. Real class
spirit depends upon it?' . -
