“TAG—YOU’RE IT’
Tomonow we all will be tagged. 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. Tho Intel fraternity and Intra-mural Coun
cils, after their evenings spent out theie, agieed
with Student Council Delta Sigma Pi and all
the girls’ clubs fell right into line. 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?
And we know we can hear the student body an-
Kweiiiig: “Well, vhy make a question about it 9
We’ie all going to give twenty-fixc cents to ‘Andy
L> He’—and maybe more!”
“CLICK-CLICK-CLICK!”
Organized “log-rolling” at Penn-State; within
the past few' years, has leached ahummg propor
tions. , (“Log-rolling” because the more vulgar
w ord * clique” has been shunned and hushed by the
students so that its use may not shock the sensi
tive ear ) Penn State has been ruled by political
machines, non-fiateinity as well as fraternity, for
so long a period that the initials “P.S.C.” may
well carry the meaning of “Perfectly Systematized
Cliques ”
The subject is not a sweet-smelling one, to be
suie; : needs a little light, though, to keep it
forming a mouldy wash about our shoes.
'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!

“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.

The COLLEGIAN has made a mistake! There
is an exception which we must make to an article
printed some time ago regarding the conduct ol
gentlemen in the movies! And that exception
“happened” on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
of this week —Wanngs’ Pennsyh amans Thiee
whoops and a holler!
There are times, by golly, when the’ e is no
holding of emotions. When Wanngs’ aie here,
when these Pennsylvanians to whom we point with
pndc are ensconced upon the stage of the Cath
aum, when we give ’em a good, substantial yell
(sic) —what’s the use of sitting solemnly like a
flock of bloodless bilge-bariels and applauding
with finger-taps? There is no use—we iust yell*
The only way we can show our appreciation
to Mr. Maurice Baum for having such a group
of modem musical artists here for out enlei Lini
ment is to yell. And, thank goodness, we cet-i

Editor, COLLEGIAN,
State College, Pa,
Dear Sir.—
I am convinced, after four .years of
observance, that Penn State is some
distance below par in its organized
cheering at outdoor games, particu
larly duung football scuson. Little
or no oignmzcd cheering can be ob
tained fiom the upper classmen in the
west stand at a football game The
fteshman element is the one which
<lie cheer leadeis can do good woik
and it is that element of which I will
speak.
Theie aie big possibilities in it.
At the Dads’ Day game when the
u <*i d, D \D, was formed w ith blue
and white squares of pasteboard a lit
tle of what is possible was shown.
Tho new stunt biought foith this year
which consists in hand clapping and
a unified swinging of the hands from
■adc to side while a song is in progress
is one wherein a chance for a fin;
effect is missed. The loss is due to
the fact that the gr.oup is allowed to
scatter itself too widely over the fresh
man section. If the whole body of
fiist year men was brought into moie
compact form a much finer result
could be obtained. This is work for
llu, cheer leaders
The efforts these men expend upon
Ihc freshmen each fall arc doubtless
earnest, but there Is misduection.
Practically' all of the piactice is done
in Old Chanel This is well enough
when songs and cheers are being learn
ed but there its usefulness stops
After that point is reached the fresh
man section of ‘the cast stand should
be used. Here the body should be
made to sit closely packed, pieferubly
in the center of the section with any'
