And theic is a holiday tomonow And there's that twelvc-dollar excursion to Philadelphia still open at Tyrone. It’s Ihe chance-of a lifetime—to get down to a Penn game at such nominal expen dit'iu es Twelve-nmety*fivc for train, lon dollars for room and boaid, four dollars for admittance to Ihc game, live dollais for miscellaneous use— just a nickel slioit of thirty-two dollars for the week-end. “Gel to Penn!” See that fighting troupe of Nittany Lions put the skids under the Red and Blue machine! Watch Lou Young’s face turn in to a rainbow when the Big Blue from Pennsyl vania’s mountains reverses the stoiy of its past defeats and continues the tide of victories over the Quaker City eleven. Theie’s nothing else like it’ “Get to Penn 1 ” GET ON THE BALL! Penn Slate has at last found a freshman class in which disobedience is the exception rather than the lule! Regulations are being observed religiously, breaking of customs is frowned upon by the class of I9RO, every member know’s his po sition—that of a humble obedient, freshman. Ktnv fo.'tpivtto aie Lho upppi classmen in having such r oCivre jt of yearlings* Is ii that to date only fourteen m fnngcmcrr* fn-t-year regulations have been detect Vis, it is only too true. The Student Tr'bunal will soon have seen the last of its use fulness on the campus All because some twenty five hundred students have blinded themaeh es to the tact that mles, regulations and customs are made to be observed. Not a day passes that some yearling docs not break Penn State's freshman regulations. The students seeing these actions (thcie must be some witnesses) are either too kind-heat ted or too in different to care what becomes of the transgress or. Regulation is becoming more lax each day. The yeai lings are becoming more and more open in waung the red shirt of misconduct m the faces of the uppei classmen. Custom has it that sophomores arc the ones directly icsponsible for keeping the freshmen fiom breaking rules—they have clearly failed in: doing so The fault, however, lies not entirely with the second-year men for too often upperclass men giant immunities to the yearlings; and fam iliarity bleeds contempt Penn Slate lcgulations need a revival. Get on the ball 1 “BUZZ—BUZZ—BUZZ. STUNG!” The studious studes studied studiously, lean ing languidly over luxuriously-lighted desks. The talkative tattlers tittered triumphantly, singing psalms of six-pence, saxophones and silvery slip pers. The studious studes stared strangely out from their luxuriously-lighted coiners, distinctly disturbed by the disgraceful dribbles dropping drip by drap from the mushy mouths of the musi cally-minded miscreants. Diabolical dartings of winnowy wise-cracks, calmly calculated to stop the steam of the senile sheiks and shebas as they ailed their asmine “Ohs” and “Ahs”, failed to frustrate the frivolous friends in their attempt to assume the role of library lounge lizards. All of which goes to prove that every day time date is held loudly in the library, and that anyone who goes to. Carnegie is likely to get no work done—and more likely to hear why Shiela is wearing her oars “out” and why John is looking for another co-ed to take to the Junior Prom. Buzz-z-z-z-z-z-z. And if you go to the library to study, you will be STUNG! Because theie is no study there! It has turned, almost, into a cland estine meeting place for illustrious sophomore shicks and man-craving shebas. How about taking the dates out to the Ghost Walk? We see quite a few photographs of the famous walk, and we opine that it would be a much better place to talk than the library—al though if you want to have the library remodeled into a “Hanging Gardens of Babble-on” we’ll ex ert every ounce of strength to see just what can be done about it Keep the library for learning!

We expect the uneducated and untrained, the poor devils who are guided by maudlin sentimentality and emotion, to submit to the outrage of being confronted by Mac- Fadden publications But Smithers, it’s a surprise, and a disagreeable one, to note how may Penn State men are regulm readeis of “Seciets," "True Story,” “Ro mance," "Classic,” and such frippery. They seem to have no conception whatever of worthwhile literature—and their sm is all the greater because they have every oppor tunity to learn.

Since that time individual bequests and build* mg drives have incieused the num ber of buildings to their present sta tus. The faculty also has been in creased to cope with a student body that grew from a few score to as many thousand The only vent for the surplus en ergy of students in the '‘eighties" was a course in military exercises, given by an officer of the regular ar my, stationed at Penn State. Base hall was the first sport lccognired at the College and was followed, about 1893, b> organized football. At all times Mr Fox was one of the pio gres3tve element of the Board of Trustees and was decidedly in favor of the introduction of sports Penn Slate, after a comparatively long period os an agricultural train ing school, branched out into othei fields of instruction by the introduc tion of a rcgularly-3cheduled course in chemistry.

He now makes Ills home in that city. At present his occupation is secietary of the Beiks County Historical So ciety, and in this connection he was culled upon to manage the hundred and seventy-fifth anniversary of the city of Reading. A sincere politician, Mr Fox pude3 himself on fifty-nine years of con tinuous connection with the Republi can paity. Dining this time he has not missed one opportunity to go to the polls, and always has voted a. straight ticket In 1860, while still a boy, Fox marched in the ranks of the Wide awake Society of Ameiica, which took part in a polutcal campaign at that time.
