MemtiLT of Kas't-ni Intprcollct: i;t 11- Newspaper Association TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1922 News Editor this Issue ANOTHER CHANCE FOR THE STUDENTS The appeal that has been made by the college authorities to the undergraduates to help during the holiday vacation to secure sub scriptions for the campaign supplies another opportunity to the stu dent body to pul a big project across For their Alma Mater. It is fitting.and proper that this appeal should be directed to the student. There is no doubt but that the student has done his share in the campaign if such a division can be made. The entire undergraduate body was asked to give one hundred dollars apiece and it signed up nearly one hundred per cent, a mark that was considered almost im possible. Now comes this generai plea for help again. It is a call that can not be disregarded. it is a summons to duty, imperative in nature and all-important in scope. The success of the campaign hinges on the response that is made to this appeal. Since the end or the student drive, the subscriptons have been slow in coming to the campaign headquarters. This was due to the fact that the county organizations were slow in getting tinder way and that the number of canvassers was inadequate. The state must be covered and the number of alumni who are free to do this work is limited. It is but natural that Penn State should turn to the undergraduate to help in this hour of need. It is he who is to benefit by the new buildings and who is acquainted with the needs of the institution. It is he who can approach a man with that con fidence borne of a true knowledge of the conditions and a faith in his Alma Mater. Meetings are being held this week, at which the principles of salesmanship are to be expounded to the volunteers. This is ad visable if a convincing talk is to be made to the prospective pledge. These lectures are not to be valued lightly since they are to be given by college instructors and might well be considered an asset by any college graduate. For these reasons, each student is urged to attend the meetings and fully prepare himself for the work at vacation time. Let it be understood that the student is not expeetd to give up his regular work at home for campaign work for such is not the case. It is the opinion at Campaign Headquarters that the spare hour dur ing the day or at night could be utilized by interviewing a prospect. Surely a student can afford to give a little of his unoccupied time during the vacation for the promotion of the campaign. It means much to Penn State. Prexy Thomas has made the announcement that a student will be compensated for the time which he may miss at the Christmas recess. If a student secures five hundred dollars in subscriptions, he will be given an extra day at the Easter vacation. If he is successful to the extent of a thousand dollars, he will be given three extra days at Easter. This plan insures the student of his allotted vacation time during the year. If he will but sacrifice some of his Christmas vacation for the good of the college when it is most needed, he will be compensated for his sacrifice by an addition to his Easter vacation. • This is certainly a generous offer on the part of President Thomas. The cause is worthy; the students are capable; the money awaits the canvasser. Never before has a Pen State student been known to fail when such an opportunity has been granted him. Never be fore has the need been so great. The campaign has recently started to boom but it needs that extra punch to put it across strong. When ever this has been desired, the undergraduate has been the one to do it. He will not sit back now with arms folded, content to let the other person do it. He will answer the call for help, ninety-eight per cent strong, for "the harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few." A TRIBUTE TO THE TEAM With the football season practically over, it is but natural that a review of the various contests should be made. There is one fea ture that stands out above all the rest; in every game and against each opponfcnt, the Blue and White team fought its hardest till the end or the game and never could the charge of unsportsmanlike con duct be lodged against it. It was a team of which any clean-minded American might be proud. They might have lost games, they might have been forced to bow before superiors, but not once did they re • sort to questionable tactics. Coach Bezdek and his squad of gridmen have been buffeted since the beginning of the season by the uncompromising whims of Fate. The loss of a few men at the very beginning of practice was the first blow. It had been hoped that these had gained a true in sight into the real Penn State but such was not the case They pre ferred to leave rather than bring fame to their Alma Mater and to themselves by feats of prowness on the gridiron. Soon afterwards a dependable lineman was forced to quit the scrimmage line through no negligence on his part but because of a technical rule that had been unknowingly disregarded. He will, no doubt, atone for this next year and prove to be one of the main bulwarks in the Nittany line. Great things may be expected from "Dick” Shuster. Injuries claimed their toll as in previous seasons but never before have these been so serious. Some of the best men on the team have a l a T,r, e , d *“*■ Ca P tain Bentz . “Hap” Frank, "Dutch” Bedenk and Bill Hamilton have been on the bench when most needed. Quarterback Palm has been nursing a tender ankle ail year. - . Al, £ ou S ha weakened condition, the team has faced the best !!r lu EaS , t wltho “ t ? theught of despair and given a good account of themselves. It is impossible to name any l certain man on the team as being superior to the others. Each man hasr'foiight and struggled till human endurance could stand no more. No better example of this could be cited than the clash with the Pitt Panther where the Nittany line received the onslaughts of a heavier line and a heavier backfield; where Captain Bentz was the pivot of a stone wall that stood impervious to attack until brute strength broke through; where “Mike", Palm played a battle of wits to perfection and slipped through the opposing team for many substantial gains wnere Harry Wilson, Wentz, and Hufford repeatedly hurled Iheml selves against a mass of humanity; where Bedenk; Logue Flock Rh C n af 0y an a T '" y ’ dis P utcd ever y yard with the Gold and Blue and time and again stemmed the advance that was not to he denied m the end.

W. Stahl '2* E. M. Jameson listen and participate in the program with feelings that almost defy analysis. But there stood out above all, two figurs which completely captured the support and love of all assembled, President Thomas and Coach Hugo Bezdek. After an absence oi a month, President Thomas once more ap peared before the students to combat some misunderstandings and to represent the college in asking Coach Bezdek to stay at Penn State. As he. stood there, talking in a frank and 'open way, the students recognized the friend who was working night and day for the college and for themselves. They saw him as he asked “Bez” to stay in "the family" and work for the common good of all. And when he had finished, they realized that he was "their Prexy” in every sense of the word, a personage to be admired, respected, supported, and loved. He may rely upon the sincere co-operation of thirty three hundred students. THE SECOND BIG DRIVE This week has been selected by the V. M. C. A. cabinet for the drive for funds which that organization makes annually among the students of the college. This year, the drive is to assume greater proportions for it will sponsor a year’s work covering a wider field of endeavor and to a greater degree than has ever before been at tempted. The “Y” contemplates broadening its field of work and needs only the support of the student body, to bring success to its plan. The money'that is raised this year will not only be devoted to Y. M. C. A. projects at the college, but will be utilized in overseas work. Conditions have been revealed in Russia where the students of colleges in that country are starving to death and dying from ex posure. The "Y” will clothe and feed the students at the Moscow Agricultural College if the funds are but provided. This can be ac complished through the Hoover Relief Commission that guarantees that all money will be a direct benefit to those for whom it is intended. The expenses' of the commission are paid from other sources. This cause in itself is so worthy that it heartily commends itself to the Penn State student. But besides this charitable work, the local branch.of the organi zation will not iail to carry on its work here.at the College. The publication of the freshman handbook, the staging of the annual en tertainmentcourse in the winter, the formation of a lecture course, the running of free weekly entertainments,—these are but a few of the many projects that.have been carried on by the “Y" in years past and for which some of the proceeds will be allotted. The individual student should not hesitate to recognize the work of this worthy organization. This can best be done by subscribing to the campaign. The sum to be asked this year is higher than usual, but the “Y” cabinet has set it at as low a figure as is possible and yet provide for the year’s work. This drive is the only one be sides that for the college endowment campaign that is to be sanc tioned by the auhorities this year, which is proof in itself that it is considered worthy of student consideration and heln. The "Rprf Triangle" calls for help. , SPANISH SOCIETY WILL . OFFER SPECIAL PROGRAM A .special program of ten numbers will be given at the next meeting of the 'Clrculo Do lais Amigos Do L:i K.-ipan ula", on Wednesday evening at seven-' thirty in room 31-1 Old Main. This program has been aiyangcd by members of the Spanish Club under the direction and management of Professor J. Martinez, and will consist of.short talks and Spanish songs, intermingled with selected musical pieces on live different instruments. Tile Chib extends their usual hearty invitation to those who wish to attend this opnlar just because every other person wearing a dink speaks to him. It may he. hut we doubt it. They say we have some Kg .games here next year. Navy. Syracuse, and perhaps Georgia Tech or Not tv Dante will visit the Nlttany Valley. Those seniors that Hunk out will he lucky after ail. But you can just bet that the rest of us are going to come hack in .see some of those games. It seems as though Penn State ought :o have a world heater of a team next If only Rez stays, we might reason ably expect a season like 1921. | The! Letter Box j Editor Collegian. Winter is coming! Penn State is s>rely in need at a place to skate. The place available for a skating pond is the field which lies between the old road and the new. just above the Evergreens. The Held was ?d with *• . .Seld was once coverec a water ami a dam which held the water back is .still in good condition except for a small break at the center where the streuiu which flows the whole length of the field goes through. If the opening in the dam was closed, this stream would soon over-fiow Us hunks :uid cover the Held. The water needs to be raised enough to cover the grass In the Held and a spill-way'could he ('(instructed at the center of the dam to kc.'p the water at the correct depth. When the pond freezes, It would'make ,an Ideal place to skate. If this were In vestigated and made use of, I am sure the whole Penn State student body would appreciate It. Yours Truly, A Frosh. Editor Collegian, State College, Pa. Ijiist year, as you no doubt remember, an endeavor was mude by the A. A. to construct 'a!n Ice skating rink on Old Beaver Field, but without much suc cess. The failure, I believe, was due partially to the frozen condition of .the grouh‘d which rendered the making of the water-tight embankment difficult. A promise was made at thnt time that a more determined effort' would be made this year. Now that the football season is over ttnd the Held Is not being used, may I suggest thnt some action be taken in the near future to insltre for the stu dents of Penn State this winter the healthful, Invigorating, and recreative exercise >vhich an Ice skating rink pro tides.
