Penn' State University Idea and
_ Father's Day Should Also
_ Be Described
Was your Dad here for Fathers'
Day? If not, you surely want to tell
him about It
Why not make tonight a letter writ
ing night for ,Dad, and send him O.
something,lika the following:
Well, Dad, you surely did miss a
great time here last Saturday. Seven
or eight hundred Fathers came up here
and had the time of their lives, and
you can bet I'm mighty sorry you
weren't here The Dads not only took
the keys to the college when they got
started, but eve helped them almost
raise the root of the Auditorium in the
evening mass meeting, the peppiest we
have had In many months.
I have a favor to ask of you, Dad. I
want you to join the "POPS," and get
Mother in on it, too No, It is not a
fluke organization like the "Shifters"
or the "Pleas," nor a new fraternity,
but It is an honest-to-goodness associa
tion called "Parents of Penn State"—
get the Idea? P—O—P--S. Some of
the Dads came here Saturday with the
idea of an organization to help the col
lege along, and they called all the rest
of the Dads together in the morning
and got the thing started. It took like
wild-
' fire and In the evening they adopt- I
ed a constitution and by-laws, elected
officers and: right there got almost 200
charter members The dues are only.a
dollar a year and every parent of pres
ent, past and future Penn Slate stu
dents is eligible to Join
After you Join you will be advised
as to whom you can "tie up to" In the
hOme district. There will be a local
er
ganizatlon of "Pops" at or near home
We figure there are 12,000 parents eli

of the many advantagm to be received
from joining the Parents of Penn State
Association, but right now the thing
everyone here le interested In le the
building fund campaign for 12.000.000
which will get under way neat Octob

The purr.eo of this campaign is not
only to raise money for the buildings
WO need so badly here, but also to -cre
ate sentiment in favor of the college
and the great work it has been doing
so far on a shoe-string allowance If
the Alumni, aided by,the "Posit" can
get ten people talking Penn State
where but one talked before, Old Penn
State is going to come right along and
before you know it she will be a big
University and able to take care of
every qualified applicant instead of
turning them away at the rate of a

PENN STATE WINS
ANNUAL WESTERN
INTERCOLLEGIATES
Nittany Stars Place in All But Two
Events---Pittsburgh University
Takes Second Honors
Placing in all but two of the fifteen
events listed for the afternoon, Penn
State's track and field athletes carried
off first honors in the annual Western
Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Meet of
the University ,if Pittsburgh at Schen
ly Oval lost Saturday by scoring a
total of 91 points, almost 21 better
than the Pitt stars, their nearest riv
als.,' This was the Nittany Institution's
second consecutive victory as the Blue
and White runners won the meet last
year with a total of more than one
hundred points
Pitt's athletes took second place In
the college events with a point score of
70 1.2, Washingon and Jeffereon being
third with 31, Bethany fourth with 22
and Westminster fifth with 1 1-2 Penn
State cleaned up all the choice places
In the dashes and hurdles and captured
first place In all of the distance runs,
while the University of Pittsburgh
showed up to best advantage In the
field events and sprints West Vir
ginia University, West Virginia Wesle
yan and Ohio State failed to enter any
men in the intercollegiate meet.
The Nlttany hurdlers, Harold Bar
ron, Kauffman and Hilo, snatched the
laurels In these events with little' dif
ficulty, although Brickley of Pitt and
Conn and Alderette of W. & J won
place', in both the low and high hurd

SENIOR MEMORIAL
FUND IS GROWING
Half Way Mark in Fifty Thousand
Dollar Campaign Is Ens

COMMITTEE IS MAKING
REMARKABLE PROGRESS
The 'Seniors have now passed the
half way mark in !wetting notes to
raise fifty thousand dollars for the 1922
closs memorial fund, and the class me
morial committee is making remarkable
Progress In rounding up the remaining
classmates Who have not yet subscrib
ed to the /and.
An almost one hundred percent back
ing is assured, since enthusiasm and
cooperation among the Seniors for the
memorial is unexampled Fifty 1922
men who aro members of the commit
tee gre now canvassing Seniors who
have not yet signed the notes At,tr
meeting on Sunday evening they, re
ported rapid progress and these Sen
iors are renewing their efforts to close
up the campaign successfully so that
the classof 1922 will be able to present
a swimming pool to Penn State as a
class memoriaL
Little Opposition To Tian
Very little opposition has been re
ported to this unique proposition where
by the members of the class sign a
note to pay at least ono hundred dol
lars to the college within five years and
In as many paymente as the individual
designates. The fact that It is not
necessary to make an initial payment
at once Is proving popular and the suc
cess of this method Indicates that the
note Issue plan is well fitted for this
purpose
Such unpridecedented success of an
attempt to raise money for a class me
morial by the use of the note deinie,
method has been reported that it le r
likely that future classes will adopt
this same plan to raise funds. Em
ploying this method, the members of a
class are able to pledge their future to
a worthy purpose and to present to
the college a memorial of which the
class and Penn State may be proud.

Large Audience Sees Production
of Miss Spark's Gorgeous
Pageant Fantasy
"The Set en Singing Seamen" by Miss
Ethel Sparks was presented in the
Auditorium last Friday and Saturday
evenings to a large audience of dads
and their eons The spectacle was In
the nature of a pageant and much of its
success was due to the way In which
the scenery, costumes, and lighting ef
fects were executed.
The scenery was of a type unique to
the play-going public of State Col
lege as it was based on the near fourth
dimension theory Henry , Porterfield
'23 - had Charge of the color scheme and
he is to be congratulated on his method
of handling that part of the program
Another mature of the fantasy was
the costuming which was under the su
pervision of Mr. George Horner and
Mr J. Gordon Amend Every costume
was a thing of beauty with colors no
harmoniously blended as to lend an air
of gorgeous magnificence to the en
tire performance
To Miss Sparks goes the credit for
the success of the dances, not only for
her own interpretation of various
phases o f the spectacle but for the ef
fects obtained In the other dances
which were under her supervision

description of the numerous buildings

The equipment of laboratories and oth

the inability of the college to maintain

academic Interests of the college to
