Member of Eastern Intercollegiate .Xe«sj»n|ier Association News Editor this Issue - - FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1922 TWO ANNIVERSARIES Tomorrow, the college will observe two anniversaries; one of them, Pennsylvania Day, concerns the college and commonwealth, and the other. Armistice Day, will be celebrated the world over. Anniversar ies are in a way, arbitrary affairs. Cold logic seems to dictate that they be observed in commemoration of some past event of an historical nature. But in the affairs of mankind, cold logic ofttimes needs the backing of warm sentiment. And it is warm sentiment which makes these two anniversaries so noteworthy. Anniversaries are needed to make people think in a purposeful way about the same thing at the same time. Pennsylvania Day is an old tradition of Penn State that posesses that warm sentiment. Penn State recognizes and celebrates Pennsyl vania Day in a fashion similar to that in which other instituitons com memorate Founder's Day. Its observance serves as a mark of recog nition to the citizens of Pennsylvania who have made the present in stitution possible. Years ago, before the pressure of public affairs became as urgent as it is today, it was the custom of the entire legislature of the com monwealth to visit the college in a body once a year. The day of the visit was set apart for the purpose of showing the people of the state and their representatives something of the work which the college is trying to accomplish. At present, it is no longer possible to have all of our legislators present on Pennsylvania Day—in fact, the Board of Trustees has found it necessary to confine Pennsylvania Day to cam pus and student activities rather than an occasion for the entertain ment of the public in general. Nevertheless, Pennsylvania Day of this year will find thousands of visitors on hand for the celebration of the holiday. In fact, it is quite likely that Penn State will entertain a record breaking crowd tomorrow. It is therefore a pleasure to know that, due to the efforts of the various departments of the School of Engineering, the Dairy Husbandry Department of the School of Agri culture, the Military Department and many other organizations, visit ors will be given the opportunity of seeing something of the work of Penn State. How far more appropriate can be the celebration of Pennsylvania Day be made, when Armistice Day is observed at the same time. Penn State is proud of her sons, especially those who fought and died for their country. Surely no man ever died more nobly than the man who is being honored in tomorrow’s celebration of the fourth anniversary of the signing of the Armistice. Fitting exercises by'the American Legion and the Rehabilitation Club in connection with the Pennsyl vania Day program will mark the observance of the day here at the college. Throughout the world, people will pause to indulge in silent thanks to God for the valor of The Glorious Dead. Large numbers will think in a purposeful way about the same thing at the same time and will be reminded of the supreme need of justice in the relations of men and nations. Each succeeding November brings us another anniversary of Pennsylvania Day and we are glad to note the progress which Penn State is making during the interval from one anniversary to another. Each succeeding November will bring us another anniversary of Arm istice Day and we are glad to note the forward march of civilization. AN APPRECIATION Only a few years ago there came to Penn State a man who was a total stranger to the student body, to the alumni, and to the institution. Now that same personage is, perhaps, the most popular on the campus and his name is being heralded daily in all sections of the country as a coach who stands above all others. To Penn State he is known as Hugo Bezdek, enthusiastic supporter of all projects that will benefit the college, a coach without equal, and a true friend of the student. To the world, he is known as a producer of winning teams. Surely this is a reputation worthy of the man whom we know. It is commonly acknowledged that an American collegiate student body is the most critical of any group. It is a difficult attainment to secure approval in its eyes, which is accomplished only after many notable and sanctioned accomplishments. Coach Bezdek has won for himself a prominent place in the regard of each Penn State man. He has been entrusted with the faith of sev eral thousands who are ever willing to support him. Why can this man claim so much? Since coming to college, “Bez” has shown on many occasions that he is one who can produce; every plan that he has spon sored has succeeded. Always he has done all in his power for the wel fare of the students whose friendship he wanted to win. His teachings have been those of a man who is fearless in proclaiming what is right. He has maintained zealously the high ideals of clean sportsmanship in Penn State athletics. He has been an ardent supporter of the admin istration, ever willing to do all in his power for the betterment of the institution. More than any other man, he has carried the name of Penn State to all sections of the country and has been instrumental in placing the college in the position that it holds today. They still remember in Seattle, in Boston, in New York in Phila delphia, and in Pittsburgh the work of his teams of past years Char acterized by a tenacious fighting spirit and clean cut playing, his teams have made history. At Penn State, he began to create victorious teams as soon as he took charge and has never yet failed. Although beset bv disappointments that would cause others to give up in despair “Bez” d . o lf dly W aT in l d 3t hi l ,aSk and h ? s almost accomplished the impossible. What other coach would have bucked circumstances as he has this year and yet produced a team that could hold and gain on a combination as heavy and as strong as the Navy team? The alumni can rest assured that as long as Bezdek remains under wl? w*n‘l ardS of ~ h e ? lu ? and White, there is a coach at Penn State who will keep the institution on a par with the best.

I saw with; no small concern the number of its stu dents increase from nine hundred to three thousand and the facilities for giving them an all-’rouml training not increasing .in the same proportion. The state appropriations supplied to a cer tain degree the necessary class-rooms, laboratories, and shops for the student: hut did not take care of ills eating and sleeping uuarters, of his needs in time of sickness, of his training in the social usages and customs of life, and especial ly of his religious ami ethical training. _ R. B. Colvin To supply these essentials of life at Penn State is the object of the present call that Is being made upon the college alumni and people of the stato. The success of the effort to raise an emer gency building fund of two million dol lars will enable the college of the people to supply a well-rounded training to the ambitious and worthy hoys and girls of the Commonwealth. That Is why I want to see it succeed. BOTANISTS TO STUDY VEGETABLE DISEASES An investigation of a very serious cabbage disease, commonly known as P.lark Leg, has been started by the de partment of Botany. This disease has proved itself extremely destructive in growers losing as high as fifty per cent nf their crop. 10. G. Ilex. ’22 has been secured as graduate research assist ant and will spend most of bis time on this disease. The experiments will he conducted in the college laboratories during the winter and Held experiments will be |>erformed during the growing season in cabbage raising sections of the state. The potato wart work, conducted by Professor Orton of this department, will be continued and the ctVect of the soil temperature ti|*on the disease will be thoroughly studied. New types of soil temperature tanks have been installed In the greenhouse ami they are ex pected to' l>e imieh more accurate and satisfactory than the early apparatus used. Tile experiment is being con ducted In cooperation with the United States Depart men of Agriculture. TWELVE GLEE CLUES ENTER ANNUAL CONTEST The seventh annual Intercollegiate Glee Club contest will be held in Car negie Mall. .March third. 1922. Glee Clubs from Amherst. Columbia, Cornell. Dartmouth, Harvard. New York Uni versity. Penn Stale. Princeton Univer sity of Pennsylvania. Wesleyan, and Vile have already entered this contest. It is interesting to note that Cornell has entered the contest this year and with this addition, nil of the larger Ku&t ern colleges are now represented. During .the summer Albert F. Picker uell. President of the Intercollegiate Musical Corporation, of New York City, organized a Glee Club Contest among the larger colleges in the Middle "West which included University of Chicago. University of Illinois, Northwestern, .Millikon. Beloit. lowa, Perdue, Univer sity of Michigan, etc. This group will hold a contest In Chicago early in Feb ruary and it is planned to bring the winner of this group to New York to appear at the March-third contest of Fastern Colleges.

P. Ritenour takes this opportunity to warn the stu dent body of the danger of the disease. The Pennsylvania Department of Health sends forth the following men tion: “Scarlet fever is a highly contagious disease but not all persons are highly susceptible to it. Failure to contract the disease when intimately exposed to it unforunutely does not give the assur ante that one may not develop it on a similar occasion. “It is essential that each case of scar let fever be isolated at the earliest pos sible stage of the disease and that oth er members of the household are kept away from the patient until the physi cian pronounces him recovered. It is just as important to quarantine mild types of scarlet fever as the severe forms for they are almost equally con tagious. The fact that many mild cases escape detection and quarantine ac counts largely for the j>ervalcnee of the ' disease." Scarlet fever is caused by an uniden tified microorganism which is readily transferred from the sick to other per- sons. Tim disease develops in from three to seven days after exposure to the infection. Scarlet fever begins sud denly. usually with vomiting and a fev er. After about twenty-four hours the skin breaks out with a red eruption be ginning in the throat and on the chest. Tlte eruption in the throat causes it to be sore and the tongue to be red like ti strawberry. The principal diagnostic marks are sudden onset of fever with vomiting and sore throat, followed in a few hours by a red eruption on the skin. The scarlet fever germs themselves may be so viru lent that they produce death. They may produce.poisons which often cause kid ney diseases. The severe complications of the disease are usually due to strep tococci that grow on the special germs of scarlet fever. Tho streptcocci often produce earache, running ears, mastoid disease, enlarge dglumls, and abscesses of the neck. Although there is no reason to pro claim an epidemic of scarlet fever In State College it behooves tho students to be on the lookout for these symptoms. Uvea use of the necessary quarantine which follows the contraction of this disease it is par.ifiilarly desirable that it be kept within control. The Health Service is endeavoring 10 detect these first cases ami i-a.h • them, thereby preventing a ser! -u.- spread of the dis- During the month of October the fol lowing work was performed by the Col lege Health Service: Number of Calls S-1U Number of New Patients 547 Number of New Conditions 419 Number of Excuses iao Number of days absent 355 •Number of Bed Cases 12 Number of Undiagnosed Cases 41 Number of eases referred to other doctors $ Home Made Candies Milk Chocolate, nuts, fruits Nut Taffy Bars Real Cream Caramels Peppermint and Wintergreen Waffers French Nugent, etc. Fancy Boxes at all prices for all occasions.
