Tagged for twenty-five cents What a great big sum, and how we will hate to pait with the measly two-bit piece or tho twm dimes and a lit in our pocket. Why, by gosh, well ket*p the twenty-five pennies and, plus a iu< K« 1, chop into Hie movies and be entcilamed. (And alter we do that, and see ev en y other student wealing a little white tag with “T bought a shingle*’ punted on it, we’ll feci a •hamed enough to pull the old stick about I-bought onc-bul-ilVin-another-suit. How like us!) That Andy Lytle Cabin out on the slope of the big mountain that rubs shoulders with the far famed Tus^ey—that ti icndly hut u hich looks from the ridge into the \nlley that harbors Penn State—tile cabin that was built for us, but for which someone else will have to pay. “When the evening twilight deepens, and the shadows fall”— have you never been up on tho roof of the Lytle cabin viion the sun v\is sotting behind the Alle ghanies, when a hlniy mist wax gathering about State College—’way down there m the valley— when only a few lights could he seen and then, un expectod-like—the big football lights on the prac tice field break out like a welcome from home? Take a try, you case-hardened grind or tea-totaler —take a try at seeing what that Andy Lytle Cabin really can do for you ’’ Tho Cabin is out there to help you enjoy na ture.

The Penn State Club is behind the movement. And—“ Tag —You’re It.” And you should feel “IT.” Be cause you’ie going to get a chance to lend your aid—to buy a shingle for the roof of “Andy Lytle ” Every member of every fraternity, every member of eveiy gills’ club, every member of Stu dent Council and Delta Sigma Pi has agieed to “buy a shingle ” Every member of the Penn State Club tomorrow will dig into his jeans to pro tect “Andy Lytle” fiom the wind and ram Why shouldn’t we all give twenty-five cents?

'Should the *cnch be so disagreeable as to throw the College open to caicfully planned graft— what’s the hfference? It’s “only Penn State” that filters 1 And we still pride ouiselves—we, the student body—as having "a deep and abiding love for all things for which the College stands!” Hero the half of us are liars! Few students, if any, have not come in contact with these political organizations at one time or another. Fewer still have mustered the courage to denounce them openly. We love Penn State? Hokum! We love good old Chi Zeta Mu befoie wc love our College! How often Penn State’s student elections have boon settled long before the actual vote— anti by a “party” caucus! How many times the fiateimty—or the club—, rathei than the man, has been elected. Were true statistics to be com piled, the i esults would be astonishing to very lew and dead news to the majority. , If conditions as they exist now are to con tinue, Penn State will be turning out'men with a generous education in “How to win an election by cornering the votes of Pickle Hill or Lemont.” Wo are not confronted with the handling of an organised minonty, but with several organized minorities. Each clique has its own set of candi dates; chosen seldom with an eye to putting the most capable man in office, and usually with an eye to putting the man in power “who has prom ised us the chairmanship of the Bubble Commit tee.” llow insane—when “we love the College.” It is time to put our house in oidei—time to think of Penn State instead ot the cheap fratern ity which compiomises its conscience to get the castoff spoils of the machine leader—it is time for Penn State students to find that latent respect for the fair name of Penn State—and stay out of these office-cuddling, blood-squeezing, con science-compromising cliques—and the sooner we think of Penn State, the better! - President Vice-President - Treasurer “CUSSINGLY GOOD” SPIRIT “Y-E-A State! Fight Like Hell!!” Time ; and again this yell pealed forth from the North ■stands at the Syracuse game Satuiday The idea ot making words “State” and “Hell” svnonomous must, to all loyal Penn State adherents, sound ir ritating and repulsive How, then, did it stui L and why should it be allowed to continue? This same yell we might say, is a faxoritc cheer at the University of Blank. Perhaps that is the origin of Penn State’s newest conveyor of enthusiasm to the team while m action. In years past, no such yell was needed to exhort the team to greater aggressiveness and theie is no leason why this crude expression of profanity should ac complish a better effect than a real Penn State cheer. It might be noted that the Syracuse cheer leaders on one occasion called upon their rooters to give the "Fight Like Hell” cheer, but the \ isi tors from New York showed their good taste by not lespondmg. Such high school display—certainly it can not be anything else—has no pait in a college's spirit. If it can be pioved that this cheer produc es better results than another of oui yells, then by all means it should be kept. To the average student “Fight like HeU” is nothing more than an expression. But to our visitors it may appear crude and debasing—and not at all what they would expect fiom an insti tution with the reputation held by Penn Slate Since theie is no good leason justifying its use and since many of our recent visitors have lound it displeasing, the “fight like hell” should l emam distinctly a Univeisity of Blank yell.
