A SUGGESTION
Although only three weeks have passed since the opening of the
college term, yet students and organizations are beginning to look for
ward to the first notable social affair on the Penn State calendar.
But five weeks remain and Pennsylvania Day will claim the attention
of all friends of the college and the Nittany hospitality will be tested.
Pennsylvania Day is generally regarded as a week-end set aside
for the entertainment of guests and incidentally, it has been used to
show visitors the campus and buildings. In a very few of the de
partments, exhibits have been prepared to give some insight into the
work of the school or department concerned. Without doubt, this is a
good idea.
There are many citizens of the commonwealth, wholly un
acquainted with their state college and its functioning. Many of
them are parents who visit their sons and daughters at this time of |
the year. Invariably they are taken on a tour of inspection. With
such an opportunity presented, why do not the various departments of
the different schools prepare interesting exhibits to illustrate the work
carried on by that department- What would be of more interest to a
visitor than to see an exhibit of this kind? The School of Agriculture
has not been backward in realizing the advantages thus offered, and
much time and labor is spent each year in preparing for Pennsylvania
Day. The annual stock parade on New Beaver Field on Saturday
afternoon may be mentioned as a characteristic example. ,
The other schools would do well to follow the example set by the
Ags. Guests of the college and visitors would enjoy an engineering
exhibit or a forestry display as much as one concerned with Dairy or
Animal HAandry. A presentation of some kind by each department
of each school would transform the campus into a world of wonders
and mysteries which would provide no little amount of entertain
ment to all sight-seers. But what is just as important, the college
would benefit to a great degree. Each visitor would gain a true con
ception of Penn State and what it is doing; he would be t initiated
into the serious part of collegiate work; and he might be impressed
by the claims of the institution to rank with the best of the country,
if only the necessary financial support of the state is forthcoming.
Let us think this over.
THE CHEERING IS BETTER
The cheering at the football contest last Saturday afternoon and
at the mass meeting the previous night, showed a marked improve
ment over the feeble attempts of the proceeding week. But there is
still room for improvement. Slower rhythm made the locomotive yell
so much more attractive and pleasing that one could hardly associate
it with the same yell given earlier in the season. But the technique
of yelling is still foreign to most of the students it seems. The tend
ency to slur and drag out the syllables instead of cutting them short
to produce a snappy effect should be discouraged. Efforts should be
made to get some semblancce of unity so that the entire group starts
at one time and at the beginning of the yell. When only a small
part of those cheering start a yell and the remainder join when the
cheering is well started, the result is far from satisfactory.
Work on the part of the cheering staff and cooperation on the
part of the student body should eliminate this complaint. The
cheerleaders can explain the proper way to give each cheer but thev
must have the support of the students to effect a change for the
better.
THE TOWN ORCHESTRAS
Following the action of the interfraternity council in limiting
the prices to be paid the orchestras of the town for dance music, the
orchestra men have decided to agree to the price set. They are to be
commended for this. Both parties would have been affected if the
musicians had refused to accept the offer of the fraternities.
is, peace reigns once more, dances arc being staged, and everyone is
apparently enjoying himself.
THE STUDENT CAMPAIGN
Headquarters for the Student Campaign made announcement at
the end of the week that the students had subscribed over one hun
dred and seventy-five thousand dollars to the Health and Welfare
movement. But this amount is far under the goal set and so it has
been decided to continue the dri v e for subscriptions over for a few
more days in order that the canvassers may be given time to see each
man enrolled.
Up to the present time, the difficulty has not been in convincing
a man of his duty but in getting around to see each man.
There is not one argument that a student can present for not
signing one hundred dollars over to his Alma Mater which will stand
the test of logic or gratitude. And those in charge of the campaign
have proudly announced that there arc only a very few of those who
have been approached and who have refused to come to the aid of
Penn State.
Student Council has had a problem to face in the disorganization
of the Freshmen class. The other three regular classes and the Two
year Ags were well organized at the beginning of the year and little
trouble was experienced in canvassing these. The Ags forged ahead
of all other classes during the early part of the student drive and rc
remaind in the forefront during the week although the Senior thermo
meter rose to seventy percent. The Freshman mercury hovered
around ten and fifteen percent until Saturday afternoon. At that
time, the members of the 1926 class were approached at the football
game and the response was generous to such an extent that fifty
percent was attained. At the present time, the goat is still wearing
Freshmen colors.
The Senior class should be the first to attain its goal of one hun
dred percent as an example for others to follow. No let-up should
mark the prosecution of the campaign among the other classes. The
three hundred thousand dollar mark is in sight and by postponing
the close of the drive chould be obtained.
The Junior class should not allow itself to be outdone by the low-

Still Something I,licking
1 tut after all necessary improvement
has heeii made in tile elementary and
secondary education in Pennsylvania,
there is still something lacking. This
state, at the present time, has no state
university. With every state to the
west and every commonwealth to the
south in possession of such an instiuir,
tion. Pennsylvania's educational system
cannot he considered complete until
there is placed at the apex of her public
schools one institution of higher learn
ing giving work of university grade in
its several schools.
It s true tiiat the Pennsylvania State
College is now all hut in name a state
university. With its five schools and
its several departments, it is already
doing what the great universities in
other states tire doing for the people
in their districts. These institutions,
owned by the commonwealth in which
they are situated, and controlled by the
people, are fully a part of the public
school system. They offer such voca
tional courses as the boys and girls of
today need and demand. They engage
in research, not on problems which
iearned pmfesssors might be most inter
ested in. Inn on practical problems
pressing for solution in science, agri
culture. and industry. They conduct
a vast amount of extension work, tak
ing the knowledge of the laboratories
and the class-rooms into the homes
where people live.
Such an institution this stale should
have, and plans are now under way
for its development. The logical place
for the Pennsylvania Sstate University
's at State College, at the exact geo
graphical renter of the Slate, where, foi
sixty years, earnest and devoted men
have been laying the foundations of
such an institution. Here we have a
plant and equipment valued at four
millions of dollars. We have the con
stitution and organization of a state
university. What is most important,
we have the tradition of being an insti
tio'n fully under the control of the State
and responsive to its needs.

l.emiets Needed
The establishment of a first-class
university in Pennsylvania would be of
Cleat benefit to the agricultural, com-
inen-iai and indusir.ul interests of the
state. We* have the resources, but our
great need is men. We cannot have
ion great a supply of leaders in indus
try. It will lie tlie business of the State
University to supply such leaders, and
every man of masterly power produced
will create opportunities for many oth
ers. The supply of doctors and lawyers
may reach the saturation point; but
when Hell invented the telephone and
when Edison perfected the electric
light, they sounded the call for millions
<>f men to apply their inventions to hu
' man life.

Tile increased facilities of Slate Col

itv. will lie a great iumn to tile boys

for admission, but whom we are now
obliged to refuse at the rate of one
thousand a year. Certainly such a sit-
uation is not right in a great state like
Pennsylvania, where the hoys and girls
are tear chief interest.

Literally speaking. we can't get the
freshmen's goat because they don't own
;he critter any more. The junior Inher
ited the unwelcome beast when they
loafed into last place in the student
••nmpnign.
The two year ags must have hail
some sad experience with goats. Else
why would they scorn the animal and
tight with the seniors for first place
and the pussesion of the Hon.
We cheered the sophs when they
pulled oil' their stunt at the football
game Saturday. With their paper hats,
canes and colors they didn't look like
the same class, so we cheered all tile
louder.
Those second year men have an eye
for economy. When they didn't win the
football scrap last fall we understood
they saved their canes to use for last
Saturday's affair.
No "cow college" stuff for the juniors.
x\H dressed in white at the game, they
looked like all-college boys.
But like nil-college boys, they didn’t]
do anything. Their stunt consisted In!
shpwing as much originality as the av- 1
cragc short horn.
There might he some excuse for the
freshman class, with no organization,
to hold the last place in the student
campaign, but when the juniors drift
into It there must he something wrong.
Our NUlany Lion should strike terror
Into tin; hearts of our opponents. With
that tVro.-lous animal hacking the team,
we ought to get the lion’s share.
Bandmaster Thompson's 'P. S. O.
.Marco" made a hit with us. Our ••al
lege singing Itas never been what it
should be. hut we think that it should
improve with the new arrangement of
"Victory" and "Hail to the Lion”.
We have dope that we’re going to
have another "All-American Hand'' this
year. Spurt writers .at the big games
gave the Penn State band that title
last year and wo understand that this
year's organization is going to bo even
better than its predecessor.
We used to talk about the weather
when wo had nothing else to say. Now
it’s a matter of uncommon interest with!
the present dry spell. The freshmen:
didn't pray hard enough for rain at the
beginning of the year.
The shoe shining parlor should be do
ing a lot of business or none just now.
With so much dust, the hoys are either
getting dally shines or have given it up
as useless.
Ever since wc wore freshmen, ifre
have stumbled up that back path run
ning from McAllister St. at College
Avenue to Old Main and every time we
go up we wonder why It isn’t repaired.
We have skinned our shoes and
turned our tinkles on the rough stones
when it wsis nice and waded through
the mud when it wasn’t. Somo cinders
put there would be appreciated by all
using that path.
The volume of cheering Improved
unite retnakahly last Saturday. We
would now suggest that efforts be made
to have the students on the new stands
keep together.
