News Editor Thi3 Issue- TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 102 G “DECORATE THE MAHOGANY” We borrow a current expression from our re serve vocabulary, “Decorate the Mahogany”,' so that you are warned not to read the remainder of this article if you wish to connect a religious sen timent to the subject under the microscope. The Y. M. C. A. (if you wish, stop reading) has a place on the campus of every college. It has an important position at Penn State because the young bull-calves who run wild in our pas tures think themselves lb he “anti-Christs” and imagine that they act as 'such. At the same time, these gamboling bull-calves probably couldn’t de fine “anti-Christ”; they act obliquely in order to create an effect. Without regard for the religious clement which attaches itself to Y. M. C. A. work, we come across the idea that the “Y” is really a “Young Men's Association”, and performs in the manner signified by that title. Without the “Y”, Penn State would have no Freshman Handbook, no freshman reception, no efficient list of rooming facilities, no information for students who seek odd jobs; in fact, without the “Y", there would he so much lost motion on the campus that the Administration would have to subject the students to a more efficient Robot producing machinery than it does at present. The “Y” means too much to this College to be cast aside lightly; it is not the “something for noth ing” scheme that these “self-designated anti- Christs” dub it; ignorantly. / The “Y” is your association; managed by stu dents, controlled by students, assisted by students. Lend it your support. OPPORTUNITY The inauguration of the women’s department in the COLLEGIAN and the consequent changes in the girls’ organization on the paper are making it possible to offer to the freshmen as well as to sophomore girls a new opportunity for practical experience in journalism. Freshman and sopho more candidates for the paper are asked to report to Room M Liberal Arts Building Thursday night at eight o’clock. Until this year the girls’ work on the paper has consisted in writing the stories assigned, to them by (he news editors and an occasional edi torial the women's editor. Under the new sys tem, ail the girls will have a variety of experience in writing news stories with special attention to girls’ sports, and special feature articles, while'for the juniors there will also be practice in writing headlines, and later'in the year, editorials. They will learn, too, something about the makeup of the women’s section. The establishment of this department is a rec ognition of the needs/and lot us hope, of the possi bilities, of-Penn State'women.. May-tiie response to'this call for reporters be a guarantee of their interest and support. “WHAT IT TAKES, WE’VE GOT” A loyal body of Penn State students welcomed its vanquished football team home on Sunday; welcomed it with cheers of hope and songs of vic tories yet to come. Syracuse probably received the same kind of fighting encouragement when the Orange returned‘home from a last-minute j defeat at the hands of the Army. Football spirit is that dee)) and abiding love for the gridiron !.squad no matter whether it wins or loses-—so long i as there is still a football team and a college for it ito represent. We have the spirit and the college ; —and the football team. Oid Main stops with the top of the roof. No more does the old building have a tower; it has a four-sided bank of slats, a couple pieces of broken glass, and a shattered broom-handle decorating the roof, but tlie old building has ho tower. To tell the time by the Old Main clock, if’one is standing west of the building, is an impossi bility. The “stone-pile” isn’t complete unless the bank of slats contains a four-way giant’s time piece—all four sides working in unison and dis playing the same type of background. The Main building isn’t Old Main unless there is a flagpole atop the bank of slats; a good flag pole, capable of supporting a flag if neetl be. But perhaps, since the tower is not suited to the type of architecture of the building, the de partment which has as a function the repairing of buildings, will refuse to rebuild the tower, hoping that Penn State will again be honored with a streak of lightning—and again and again— in or der that Old Main may be demolished bit by bit within the span of a few years. But can’t we have the old building complete? We do like it. - President Vice-President Treasurer Editor '..i-Chief ,?si2tan: Editor Managing Editor Women’s Editor U. Kaplan ’2B P. H.

There wasn’t anyone in the lobby when I got there and I stood around a while, and then a girl I didn’t know came loping down the stairs. She grinned at me, so I asked her hov.* I could notify :ny Dulciana that I was there. “I’ll get her,” she said and turned and shrieked up the stairway “Rc-e-enie? Oh, Rc-e-en! Smithers is here. Come on down.” Now is that anyway to treat a gentle man, I ask you?” “No, Smithers, it really isn’t. You’d hardly expect to find that sort of social usage in a center of culture like Mac Hall. Next time you have a “date” with Dul ciana, why don’t you ask her, just as an object lesson, to have a freshman girl watching the door, and when you enter, —send up your card. It’s the proper. way, you ; know.” •R. M. Atkinson Smithers:—“Yeah! And get my girl razzed by all those other kittens? I don’t have the nerve. I’ll bet, if you listen long about meal time, outside the Hall, you’d hear cm: ‘Ham and!’ ‘Two on and wreck em!’ ‘Stack o’ wheats!’” “No, Smithers. Oh, no. I understand they aren’t foil as well as that!" “I’ve been in the Tea Rooms about town lots of times lately when the places were filled with co-eddies storming, between bites, about the ’perfectly awful fod der’ ,they were expected to eat at the Hall.” . Smithers:—“My girl wasn’t a bit bashful after, the dance Saturday night. She does love sandwiches.” “Don’t blame her a bit, Smithers. • From wlmt I hear, the girls get enough, but to consume it”, they must have either pltbian tastes, or lots of wilUpower and determi nation. Last spring, you know, they raised quite a fuss about it; complained for weeks to Mr. Hostcttcr and the kind lady who has charge of the com'missariat—what’s her name? You know-her, Smithers; she wears one of the nine fur coais on the campus. But our Penn State women continued to he presented with potatoes boiled in their skins, undressed macaroni, chipped beef lacking in succulence, boiled beans, fried potatoes with Crisco dres sing—good, wholesome food. Rumor says that the kind lady gets a bonus for keeping the kitchen expenses at a minimum. Smithers:—“How much do they pay a week? Why don’t they eat in town all the time, if they don’t like the food.” There’s the Ilea in the ointment! They pay six and a half a week, one semester in advance! It’s really a pret ty proposition; the girls want to come to Penn State; to come, most of them have to live on the campus; to live on the campus, they’ve got to cat at the Hall-r-and what they.eat! Most.of the girls will admit the food’s digestible;, none of 'them, will admit it's appetizing; - all of them eat in town when they can afford it—it’s worth the difference.” ••THE MIZZENMASTS GONE” The Bullosopher’s Chair In the Old Days— CO-OP.

THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN Three-year Old ‘Harry’ Livens Practice House A pretty blue-oyeil, curly haired three-year-old now reigns over the’ Practice House, favorite home of Penn State home economic girls. Henry Wood Warth. commonly known as Harry, ’is the youngster whose mothers number nineteen; Mrs. Warth is in charge of Practice House and Harry is the center of'attraction. Harry is a bright active youngster and-has lots of fun-with his various nurses. He has a very precious box in which he keeps leaves and pebbles which attract him' during his play hours out of doors. Indoors hisTav orite pastime is playing the victrola. “On the Road to Mandalay” appeals to Harry, perhaps because it is such a nice., large record, more than the small ones, such as various Nursery Rhymes.' ■ Though only three years old Harry has already decided what he is going Fire Insurance f X Eugene 11.
