In keeping with the idea of acquainting the college admin,stra tion with student sentiment on this matter, both the sophomore and freshman classes have gone on record as lavoring the erection of the Recreation Hall as the nest building on Penn State's campus And it IS expected that the upperclasses will fall in line at then next meetings It is a worthy movement started by a worthy leader and merits the unquestioning and unstinted support of all loyal Penn State men and women interested in the sane development of the institution. AN OPPORTUNITY FOR FIRST YEAR MEN Ideas for a freshman campaign as an issue of the two million dollar project for health and welfare buildings at Penn State are materializing rapidly, and it is planned to start progressive wheels in motion immediately upon the termination of the Christmas recess. It is well. ror this year's newcomers nre now well-established mem ber,: of the great Nittany family and deserve an opportunity to help share its burdens. The splendid manner in which the older Ineinhe , s of the family arose to the call of emergency last fall should be an inspiration to the first year men and serve as a challenge, spurring them en to even greater efforts For it is this year's freshman class that will rear the most material benefits from an ultimate realization of the Impose of the campaign. Truly, it is an opportunity, a privilege accorded each and every Penn State undergraduate to do something for his college It is all of this and more. For those students who do not see it in the light of an opportunity, must regard it in the foist of an oblige.: tion. And it is an obligation to be met by the individual himself, not by his parents or guardian. Payments on pledges may start after graduation and do not necessitate incurring additional expense while in college. It is a supreme test of the loyalty of Penn State's new sons and daughters Their older brothers and sisters have met the test in a highly commendable manner. It is felt that this year's newcomers are equal to the occasion. And it must be remembered that a mone tary interest in Penn State insures a greater personll interest in her welfare. A SUGGESTION 1 In this day and age, 'mid the glamour and comparative con fusion incident to the pursuance of individual interests and desires, repeated inquiries are made by followers of the old school as to the untimely and altogether apparent decline of that intangible some thing called "spirit" of which Penn State students were wont to be do proud. The general situation is deplored and ninny reasons, all of which seem more or less plausible, are advanced as attempted ex planations for its existence. It is, perhaps, more than a mere coincidence that the trend of thought in each case reverts directly or indirectly to the underclass men and the blame descends, involuntarily, upon the unsuspecting heads of the,first and second year men It is true that the freshmen and sophomores are shaping the dominant tone of the college. But they, alone, are not to blame for the prevailing condition Intelligent steps for its correction might well be taken tinder the guidance of in terested •upperclassmen. A Spirit or Customs' Week, arranged by the Juniors and seniors and carried out by the underclassmen, might start things on the right road immediately after the Christmas re cess.
