STUNT NIGHT FOR FROSH
Paddles, Bonfire, Molasses Feed

the Principal Features
The Stunt Night, held on
proved to be a “safe and sane" substi
tute for the traditional‘Poster Night of
former years. The Frosh were humbled
and shown their place, the Sophomores
given a chance to wield their paddles
and the two upper* classes afforded a
good deal of amusement, all with a
minimum of casualties to tho Frosh,
that have always marked Poster Night.
As no proclamations were posted by tho
Sophomores, the usual clashes with the
Juniors were averted, and at midnight
a Sabbath peace prevailed on the
usually troubled Co-op corner.
Tho excitement Itcgart when a long
Waat from the fire whistle at tho holler
room brought the paddle-armed Sopho
mnrts out into the streets. In a mo
ment the familiar cry. ”all l-'reshriien
out”, resounded throughout the streets
and the first year men. heeding tho e.v
iwtotl fliiminims, came tumbling from
their moms to is* lined up by Sopho
more paddles. The town had been di
vided into five sections with Artelt,
Wleand, Delaney. Shatter and Block

the Kreshmett in his section. Bach

In Recent Years
JVith untested powers and weaken

uable and experienced players who
were so important to the success gain

and with the uncertainty of some of
the most needed players being able to
tenter the contest on account of injur
ies. the Nittany gridiron squad opens
the 1922 football season tomorrow
afternoon when they meet the repre
sentatives of St. Bonuventure's College
on Now Reaver Field at two thirty
o'clock. Having undergone three
weeks of intensive training since the
first of September under the direction
of conches Rezdek. Martin and Her
munn until lie took tho yearling can
didates in hand, tho varsity candidates
have been whipped from a looso gath
ering to a workable combination. The
added problem of building nearly an
entire new backfiold has given tho
coaching staff a difficult Job to round
the players into necessary condition
and at this late day the gridiron ma
chine is not what it should be to mako
the prospects for the season very
bright Although the first games of
the season are unusually onesided vic
tory for the Nittany Lions, tho out

In any great danger, yet upsets in
predicJtions of football games often

CROSS COUNTRY SQUAD
BEGINS LIGHT PRACTICE
Nothing Further Announced Con
cerning Schedule—Probab
ly Only One Home Meet
Penn State’s squad of cross country
runners and track men has been prac
ticing on short distance running, around
tho golf course and the track.
Intensive training has not begun yet,
as Coach Martin is staging these light
work-outs in order •that tho men may
get into running condition by easy
stages. The freshmen whose names
Imvet oftati ePontmoP a!....ossbleoet
wore mentioned in an earlier Issue of
the COLLEGIAN are showing up well,
as are also several others, and the var
sity men and members of last year’s
freshman team are exhibiting good form.
As yet, nothing further Is known con
cerning the schedule to be run by tho
Penn State speed men. except thnt they
will outer the indoor intor-collogiatea at!
New York this fall, and that there will ho
at least one home meet, probably with
Penn, ami on© trip, the opponent for
tho latter contest not yot being an

YEARLINGS IMPROVE

Freshman Gridiron Candidates
Preparing for Contest
With Beliefonte
After a week of intonsivo scrimmage

pear to bo rounding into shape and if
the squad keeps developing In the next
two weeks the way it has been going
this week, tho initial game with Belle
fume Academy which 1r to be played
on October seventh, should result in a
victory for the Blue and White team.
The majority of the squad of nearly
fifty men who are out for the team are
in excellent condition, the hard knocks
of the scrimmage affecting thorn slight
ly.
The large number of candidates who
report daily gives Conch Hermann the
chance to form two teams of different
combinations each afternoon. These
teams arc being put through scrimmag
es which bring out the points of offen
sive and defensive work. At times the
yearlings have the appearance of var
sity material but again slump into
rough, ragged movements which show
that they have not entirely mastered
the Nittany methods of football. Des

Visitors Have Veteran Team
At least nine members of the St
Bonaventure’s oioven which will ap
pear hero tomorrow afternoon are vet
erans of tho Brown and White Institu
tion which is a fact vory much in fa
vor for the visitors inasmuch os a
veteran aggregation has the advan
tage of smoother team work early In
the season than most other teams.
In addition to tho majority of last
season's players who have returned to
St. Bonaventure their squad has
been greatly strengthened by some
crack players from other colleges
who have entered the northern in
stitution. With these facts on their
side, the visitors believe that they have
a squad of gridiron men stronger than
any other in tho history of the col
lege. All members of the squad have
had at least one years' experience and
they are coming to Penn State with
the avowed purpose of givin gtho Nit
tany Lions the groateat battle pos
sible.
An added advantage which the
Brown and White eleven will have
over tho Penn State pigskin chasers in
tho fact that they have had a greater
amount of practice In preparation for
the season than have had most col
eges. Their first practice began dur
ing tho middle of August which com
bined with a veteran combination,
should forecast a team which will put
Bezdek’s prodigies to the test.
This Is not tho first time in foot
ball history that the Brown and
White have met the blue and white on

FACULTY PLEDGES NEAR
FORTY THOUSAND MARK
Committee Practically Assured
Of Unanimous Response by
Saturday Evening
That Penn State's faculty Is backing
"Proxy" Thomas In the campaign for
a greater Penn State with cheerful zeal
and loyalty had been proved beyond a
doubt when tho COLLEGIAN went .to
press.
According to latest available Informa
tion throe hundred and flftyioight
mombers of the staff, or seventy-five
per cent of tho total number had par
ticipated, tholr subscriptions amounting
to $30,575. While there has been no
quota set for tho faculty, and no goal
established ns to an amount desired,
this sum already exceeds tho amount
that tho Campaign Committee had ex
pected to raise among Penn State's
corps of instructors and ofllce employ
ees. and It Is calculated that If the re
maining members of the faculty con
tribute in equal proportion, the prob
ability is that the sum will be well over
forty thousand dollars, but tho mem
bers of the committee emphasised tho
fact that it is "100% participation" that
is tho aim of the faculty campaign, and
not a given amount of money.
The School of Mines, with sixteen on
Us staff, reached tho 100% mark before
tho campaign began,‘while the School
of Agriculture with a staff of 206, had
jAissed tho ninety por cent mark whon
the- COLLEGIAN wont to press, and
every Indication was that it woutd go
100% beforo Saturday. Tho other div
isions of the college havo boon slower
in making returns, and on Wednesday
ovening ranged from thirty to fifty per
cent, but it is fully oxpeoted that they
will come in during tho timo that re
mains, and the Committee is of the
belief that the goal of “100% particV
pation” will have been reached by to
morrow evening, and If it is not quite
attained, the results will be eo unani
mous by that time that there will be no
doubt whatever that the faculty Is back
of "Prexy" and the State University
plan, practically to a man.
DR. ROBERT BAGNELL TO

STUDENT COUNCIL
ADOPTS MEASURES
Stunt Night Substituted for
Poster Night and Campaign
Committee Organized
DISCOURAGES BETTING
ON ATHLETIC CONTESTS
Stunt Night and the coming Student
Campaign were the chief topics of
business considered by Student Council
at tho meeting held last Tuesday night.
The oletion of two sophomores to the
Tribunal and the adoption of a sot of
resolutions discouraging the practice
of gambling on tne results of athletic
contests concluded the business of tho
meeting.
Slant Night Explained
At tho meeting of the Council hold last
year, tho organization went on record
as abolishing tho holding of Poster
Night as had been done in recent years
and authorized tho President of tho
Council to appoint a comltteo, whose
duty it would be to consider ways and
means of strengthening tho observance
of customs here at the college and to
find a satisfactory substitute for Poster
Night.
As chairmnn of the committee, W. H.
Payne ’23 submitted the .recommenda
tions of this committee, which embodied
the establishment of Stunt Night ns a
substitute for Poster Night and as an
inaugural for a more strict observance
of Penn State customs. The plans for
the occasion called for an assembly of
all freshmen at on. the
following evening at points In the town
to be selected by the sophomoro class
which was delegated to escort the frosh
to Holmes Field on the campus.
Upon the arrival of the different
groups at the field, the person in’ charge
would designate that part of the field
to which they were assigned. A gener
al program of original stunts, designed
to provldo thrills and to satisfy the
lust of the average student for strenu
ous action, should follow. At the close
of tho night, Conch Bezdek would talk
to those gathered on the field on some
matters of importance, and then the
sophomores would escort tho freehmen
to their rospoctivo rooms In tho same
manner as before.
No poators • would be stuck around
the town but they would be sold only
to tho froshmen. Any painting, defac
ing, or otherwise destroying property
would l»o considered as a misdemeanor
by Student Council and the Tribunal
would act accordingly.
President Kerr of tho Sophomore class
thon reported that he had appointed
captains for different sections of the
town and that they would bo hold re
iqwmslblo. for tho conduct of their class
mates. Student Council thon votod un
animously to adopt those rocomuiend-

Whereas, betting and gambling
-prevents tho development of

NITTANY SOCCERITES TO
BEGIN DAILY SCRIMMAGE
Foot and Head Work and Other
Elementary Instruction Con
stituted This Week’s Work
A fair-sized squad of not unpromising
aspirants to the soccer team has been
practicing each evening this week on
tho Armory field, the coach devoting
attention to the fundamental depart-
ments of the game. Although ' .the
turn-out of candidates for the varsity
team is reasonably large, there are still
several lockers in tho gym for any who
inay still come out.
Six letter men have returned this fall,
including Captain H. D. Hurr&l, W. 3.
Miller, L, C. 'Longhurst, H. E. Warner,
\V. A. Kelly, C. H. Blnns, and they
furnish valuable assistance to coach
P&kennutu in iustructing tho now men.
Of the others who are trying uut sev
eral have played on their class teams,
and do not make a poor showing dur
ing practice, although nothing definite
cun he soon yet, since the work is too
elementary, having Included footwork,
such as booting, kicking through tho
goal, and so forth, and also practice
in hoadwork. Next week heavy prac
tice will be in full swing, ss the coach
expects to begin dally scrimmage.
No definite announcement in rogard
to the soccer team's northeastern trip
can now be made, as arrangeinnts with
Harvard have not been effected yot.
"lies" and Coach Pskonbam are par
ticularly anxious to send tho undefeated
Nltuuiy aggregation iuto New England,
however, and It is probable that satis
factory urangemenls with these Insti
tutions can be made.
ALUMNI ISSUE OF PENN
STATE ENGINEER PLANNED
The second issue of tho "Ponn
Englneor" will bo put on salo Alumni
Day. This issue of tbo Engineer will
bo Htrictly a Alumni issue, the cotumns
being givon over almost entirely to
former Ponn Stnto men. One of the
main articles that will appear was
Written by J. Q. White, one of Penn
State’s foremost alumni. Other leading
graduates will write and this issue will
be one of the best and most important
that has ever been published. Included
in the comlDg edition will be articles
which will be of direct interest to
miners.
The Penn State Engineer is now
recognized as one of .the leading tech
nical magazines in collegiate circles and
is now being published four times an
nually. This is a distinct*achievement
for Penn State's Engineers, and it is
hoped by the staff that they will be
able to progress as favorably in the
future.
LOCAL BANKS COMBINE WITH
CAPITALIZATION OF $126,000.00
A consolidation of the two local
banks resulted during the past week,
when the stock of the Farmers Trust
Company was bought by the National
Bank. The building Is being remodeled.
“Make the Nittany Lion Roar” Taken
as Slogan of Student Council for
100 Per Cent Participation
THIS IS WHAT YOUR $lOO WILL DO
The Penn State Students* Union, or social hall which has
rHj n „ Se -* aS lor l ' le coming Student Drive, is to be
Old Mam remodeled. As rite oldest building on the campus, it
is felt that no other structure would be more suitable for this
purpose and no other objective more worthy for the Student
Campaign. Because of the weakened condition of the present
building, almost complete reconstruction must be made and it
is for this purpose that the $300,000 to be raised by Student
Campaign will be used.
This is what the Union will mean to Penn State for the
comfort, convenience, and welfare of students and alumni:
Cafeteria and dining room, with large kitchens attached.
Tea room, lunch room, and lobby on main floor.
Recepton and rest room.
Offices and rooms For Alumni Association.
Of ices and rooms for the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion.
A theatre seating 800 people, with balcony.
A large reading room, study halls, and committee room
Offices and rooms for the Student Publication Boards
and similar student organizations.
Meeting room for country dubs, campus organizations
Two small dance Jloors with kitchenetts adjoining.
Taking ns their campaign slogan
"Make the Lion Roar", the entire stu
dent body of Penn State will launch
out on their drive for $lOO from each
man and woman now enrolled next
Monday evening at the monster mass
meeting to be held on the front camp
us at seven o'clock. And if the four
classes now entered at Penn State suc
ceed in putting across their share of
the Health and Welfare Campaign in
the coming drive, the entire sum will
be used for the. exclusive purpose of
remodeling Old Main into the Penn
State Students’ Union that is to form
the center of Penn State’s Hoeial life
in the coming years.
This latest objective of the student
drive was announced yestrday by G. B.
Lane ’23, general chairman of the Stu
dent Campaign, after the sanction of
President John M. Thomas had been
obtained. According to the idea as it is
now planned, If the present student
body succeeds In raising their alloted
share of the campaign’s drive for
$2,000,000, tho now Student’s Union
will ho dedicated to the four classes
now enrolled at Penn State and tho
two-year Ags 'and tho Rehabilitation
Following the pledge of the Poultry
Rn’aors’ Association of Pennsylvania
to raise tho money needed for the sec
ond unit uf tho now men's dormitory,
