Member of Eastern Intercollegiate Newspaper Association News Editor this Issue TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1922 A GOOD BEGINNING The exhibits that were viewed on the campus last Saturday morn ing by the visitors of the college reflected much credit to the various schools and departments responsible for them. It is not the first time that the dairy department has publicly displayed its work, but it was the initial attempt on the part of the engineering school. It is, in* deed, unnecessary to announce that the day was a success for the great number who were seen during the morning to walk through the en gineering units attest this fact. It is with great pleasure that the friends of Penn Slate see such a use being made of Pennsylvania Day. The growth of the college and the change in business life which prevents frequent visits to Nit tany Valley on the part of citizens of the commonwealth has served to defeat one of the best advertising schemes , that the institution has ever possessed. Pennsylvania Day has been set aside for the enter tainment of the citizenry who have not been slow in accepting the in vitation to witness a Blue and White team in action or to participate in the festivities of the occasion. The week end this year saw the larg est attendance and speaks well for the future of the college. Here was an opportunity to portray in a striking manner the func tion of the state college. Here was an unusual chance to show every one the work of the many schools and departments interested in pro ducing men who are capable of entering the mechanic arts and sciences and attaining success in the post graduate life! It gives a great deal of satisfaction to the student body when they realize that at last, the college is taking advantage of this opportunity. * REVENGE IS SWEET It is characteristic of human nature that revenge should prove sweet to the victor who has previously tasted the dregs of defeat. There are few announcements that could have sounded better to the ear of the Penn State students than the returns of the Penn State-Navy soccer game played at Annapolis where the Nittany booters avenged the football setback by a 3-2 victory. The student body has been slow in recognizing the merits of the Penn State soccer team. For three years, this eleven has met the strongest college teams in this sport and has not yet suffered defeat during this period of time. For three successive seasons, this team has met and defeated such teams as Toronto, Syracuse, Cornell, Le high, Haverford and the Navy. This is certainly a record of which any team might well be proud. And the booters have had their handicaps to overcome. Three different coaches wth practically three different styles of instruction have in turn supervised the scrimmage and prac tice. This continual shifting of coaches is not the best thing in the world for a team but it could not be helped. Next week, the Haverford team is being entertained at New Beaver Field and it is hoped that they will be defeated. The season could then be considered a success. There is always the tendency to become overconfident, especially after a victory such as was won at Annapolis. Over-confidence is an enemy that is hard to conquer and it is the rot that destroys many a good team. May the Penn State team be impervious to it and finish their season by winning over Haverford! A GREAT WEEK-END Nothing but memories remain now of the glorious week-end that has passed. The H. P. Qs\ are gone and so are many of the frater nity pins. Guests have come and returned to their homes and the average student is coming out of a dream that lasted two days and the rude awakening brings him to the cold realization that books and classes have not yet been abolished. With only a few weeks remaining before the beginning of the hol iday recess, it behooves the stude to "come back to earth" as quickly as possible. Below grades are in the mail and are being received daily. There is but one conclusion and that is the student body must get down to work and make up for any lost time that may have been suffered because of football games and house-parties. Too often it is the case that the primary purpose of college attend ance is dimmed by the brilliance of a temporary happening. The means of education, daily class room work, is essential and cannot be denied for sooner or later he, who fails, eventually falls prey to the "powers that be" and is left by the wayside forever. A RIFLE TEAM LETTER The proposed amendment to the constitution of the Athletic Asso ciation which provides that the college regard rifle shooting as a minor sport recommends itself favorably to the consideration of the students. As announced at the last mass meeting, the amendment stipulates that the letter rSt be awarded tomembers of the rifle squad who shall rep resent the college in two or more intercollegiate matches. Statistics compiled show that more than forty American colleges and universities have already taken this action, many of these.hold a high rating in collegiate circles. As rifle shooting is now conducted, steady arms and quiet nerves are essential and these are acquired only after intensive training-both in the gymnasium and out-of-doors. In fact, it is stated that a stud ent who would make the Penn State rifle team must survive close com petition and must work as hard as in some of the present minor sports. If the Nittany institution is to be well represented at the rifle matches, it must produce a team of the highest calibre as in other sports. If this team is forthcoming, surely the members, of it should be suitably rewarded, which would be the granting of the minor "6". The only regrettable feature about the Carnegie Tech-Penn State football game last Saturday was the action on the part of the students alumni, and friends of the college in leaving the field before the. Alma Mater had been sung. In years past, this is the custom that has been enforced rigidly and no disobedience was tolerated. The singing of Alma Mater after every athletic contest is a testimony of the loyalty cf the sons and daughters of Penn State to their Mater and they who fail to respond to the strains of this dear old song, stifle in their bosom the greatest virtue that animates the heart of mankind. This is even much stronger in American collegiate life. The football contest has ever been considered typically collegiate and has served to bring out all the pent-up enthusiasm that the college student has for his college. Penn State students are no exceptions to this rule and the great majority have been zealous to observe this H. It. McCulloch, '24 REPORTERS K. P. George, *25 F> \y. Gold, '25 11. S. Morris '25 A . \v. Petre, *25 W.J. Ward. Jr., '25 THE ALMA MATER custom. Perhaps, it was carelessness that caused this neglect and if it is such, it is hoped that it will never be repeated. The showing that the football team made on Saturday stimulates the hope that the Penn State luck would eventually, turn for the better. The re juvenatcd Blue and White eleven seems to have great possibil ities. Luck to them! On the other hand, Carnegie Tech succeeded in finding several Flaws during the course of the afternoon. A- game was witnessed on New Beaver that exemplfied true sportsmanship in very sense of the word and that is the main reason why the wearers of the plaid are al ways so welcome on the Penn State campus.

Stahl '2-1 The example set by the engineering extension department of Penn State in starting a school for fifteen of the twenty prisoners in the Northumber land County Jail will bo followed by other county penal institutions where work is practicable and desired by pris oners and olllcials. Professor N. C. Miller, assistant director of the depart ment. visited the Northumberland insti tution at Sunbury and arranged for class and correspondence training in automobile mechanics, architectural drawing, business law, shop mathemat ics, and similar subjects. While the schooling of most of the prisoners is not above the fourth grade, all are an xious to take the free State College courses to pass away the weary hours and secure a beginning, in un honest trade.

RECEIVES VALUABLE GIFTS An exceptionally valuable gift has been made by the T H. Symington Company, Baltimore, Md., to the Me chanical Engineering Department for its use In the course in Railroad Me cbnical Bnginedflng. This apparatus includes a set of draft attachment mod els including a 6" x 8" shank American Railway Association type ”D” coupler, n heavy capacity friction draft gear pocket on stub car sills, together with several standard journal boxes. As an indication of the interest of the Com pany, it may be noted that this gift was shipped by express from Roches ter New York on Wednesday of last week in order to arrive in time for the Pennsylvania Day exhibit. The ex hibit was designed especially for this college under the direction of B. W. Kndcl, Consulting Engineer of the Company. An additional interest is at tached to this gift inasmuch us the Company very carefully looked into the work In Railroad Mechanical Engineering at this college before de ciding It was desirable to present it. These models are useful for labora tory work and will be placed in the Me chanical laboratory with the other railroad equipment until a Transporta tion Building is provided to house all of the Railroad Mechanical equipment. Professor Wood states, this gift Is the most valuable one for the Railroad Mo chanlcal Engineering course which has been received for a number of years. DR. CHAPMAN TO SPEAK ON YUKON EXPERIENCES The Reverend J. W. Chapman, mis sionary for thirty-five years in Aluska, will speak on “Opportunities for Home Mission Work” in the Old Chapel to night. Dr. Chapman is well fitted to talk on this subject because of his vast experience in the Yukon wilds. Accom panying the lecture wifi be stereoptican views of the region from which he comes, illustrating the country and the type of work in which he is engaged. It will be remembered that Mr. Chap man spoke at Sunday chapel some throe weeks ago in a very interesting manner and those wishing to hear another good lecture should be on hand tonight at sevon o'clock. MANY ARTICLES AT “Y” LOST AND FOUND DEPT. Students of the college are urged to use the Dost and Found department that Is maintained at the "I" Hut. Judging from the much greater number of artic les-that are reported as lost, compared to the things that are turned in, only a few students know of the existence of suck a department. A varied assortment of lost articles, including fountain pens, Evorsharps, books, a watch, and some jewelry have accumulated at the Hut. Unless these : articles are claimed by their owners, i they will be returned to the finders, as has been the custom, after a reasonable length of time. RECORDS PLAYER,ROLLS FOR QUALITY IN .

Comer Spring and High Streets THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN A TURN OF LUCK Campus Gossip Sleeping practicum for all house par ty victims started with Monday morn- ing classes. Being seniors, we are sad. We hap pened to think that we have witnessed our last home football contest as un dergraduates. LOST: one fraternity pin, with heart attached. Thought to have been lost near some H. P. Q. Life seems pretty dark just now. The only thing we have to look forward to is that letter from Adeline. Adeline was our H. P. Q. We're will ing to make her our permanent “Q”. If Pennsylvania Day crowds con tinue tu increase, we’ll huvo to build mure stands on New Beaver. Nuvy can’t win all of the time. The Blue and White soccer team proved that on Saturday. It was Penn State’s day on Saturday. Nlttany warriors came through with five victories. If Adeline’s presence helped bring the victories wo wish that 'she were ‘hero all of • the time. But we wish that anyway An Apology to Tech We want to foster and increase the feeling of friendly rivalry which exists between Carnegie Tech and Penn State. The failure to provide any seating ac commodations at the football game for the members of the Carnegie Tech band did not aid in bringing about a better relationship between the two schools. It was a discourtesy which a little fore thought might have prevented. In our small way we want to ajiologizo to Tech for tliis neglect. Incidentally, the Plaid band was the best student band we ever hoard, next to Penn State's. The Nittany Valley Is going to have on invasion of Indians and this time it's no athletic Invasion. On Tuesduy night in the Old Chapet we shall see lantern slides of the Alask an Indians. Princess Tslanlna (Chi-Nee-Nn) the Indian soloist Is coming on the “V” Course. And the Players are presenting Alice Sit-By-The-Fire. W. St J. FRESHMEN OBJECT TO SOCK INSPECTION BY SOPHS What a relief for the sophomores'. With Pa.
