AN IMPORTANT VACATION
Of all the seventy or more Christmas vacations
that have been observed by ; succeeding groups of
Penn State students, the period that officially begins!
next Friday afternoon is by far the most imporrint
as far as the welfare of old Penn State is concerned
All because of the sery important reason that within
the short space of one year, the people of Pennsyl. !
ania will have voted "Yes" or "Na" to the eight mil I
lion dollar bond issue The success or failure of they
bond Issue depends somewhat on the activities of
Penn 'State undergraduates during the coming hole-;
days, the greater the amount of favorable activity x !
the greater the chances for the successful passage l
of the eight million dollar "life-saver"
There are far too many citizens in this common
wealth who are totally ignorant of the fact that Penn
State exists; people who would become ardent boost
ers of the institution, if they only knew the true data
as related from the lips of an enthusiastic undergrad
uate Each student, whether he be a resident of a
hamlet or metropolis has a task cut out for him dur
ing the coming holiday season It is a task that reaps
an abundance of personal satisfaction, but then any
worthy cause does lust that thing—and the worthier
the task, the greater the personal satisfaction ,
THE POWER OF THE DOLLAR
Just one week ago the entire staffs of the College
publications, mining in one common canoe, set about
securing subscriptions front students and faculty
members for the "Old Main Bell," Penn State's one
medium o f
‘ intellectual eipression. Neither students
nor faculty have responded to the call' tb - aid a bril
liant but„,ill-supported protect Without monetary
support of the College members, 'sad though it ma)
seem, it is impossible for the magazine to exist Ex
cellent, exclaim the cynics, it is no good anyhow.
Tough, aver the ordinary prospects sympathetically
aid chitzh their pocketbooks the tighter
It is well-knoxn that education in the process of
being education is not self-paying. A lamentable
tact, but true It is also a mell-known tact that lit
erature in its incept= fails to earn its bread and
butter The statement that a man is never a hero in
his own home is aptly fitted to the "Old Main Bell"
case Outside of Penn State the magazine has won
prompt and unqualified approval Two years ago it
was ranked first among the PI Delta Epsilon-sponsor
ed magazines of the United States and it has not de
teriorated in that time Penn State donates to the
cause of better literature nothing better than ne
glect, if not scorn and ridicule, which is peculiar, 12e
cause the magazine is read by the majority Perhaps
it may be remembered that there was once a young
lady who made delicious cookies which she offered
for sale at a local grocery Everybody ate them but
nobody even thought to pal for them. The same is
applicable here
Penn State is well able to maintain herself on
the athletic field, to c\press herself either journalist
ically or jokingly. It remains for her students—atd
ed to some degree by the faculty—to attempt the
pen and typewriter The pages of the "Old Main
Bell" ore open to all who wish to submit their liter
ary efforts. The tenderly nurtured Muse of Poesy
is cultivated between its covers, Science uncovers
her secrets to the inquiring 'reader; reviews of cur
rent authors are set forth; pen and ink drawings serve
to relieve the possible tedium of unbroken print,
short plays, one act in length, emulate the worthy
bard-nubject of Quee'h Ell7abeth, m short, a wealth
of in.aertal is cocered nod only the best of all that
tti •übnutted in aced.
One dollar is the price of two issues of the "Old
Main Bell." In answer to the ft equent protests that
Christmas shopping looms in the oiling, we might ad
vance the seggestion that while it is true Christmas
thaws on apace, the recouping of lost fortunes is
more than probable, in fact it is an almost certainty.

The decision to give an "S" banquet nnt spring
may be looked upon by sincere Penn State men with'.
commendation and hearty approval The first of its
Lind at the College, the function will replace the num
erous. spasmodic dinners now sponsored by individ
ual athletic teams at the close of each season, and.
by including letter-men of all sports, will foster a
spii it of co-operation and understanding among those
who contend on field and floor for the glory of the
Nittanv Lion As of old, it is still fitting to fete the
hero and croon him with the deserving laurel of
fame.

In the past, athletic banquets at Penn State have
necessarily been confined in their influence to our
own campus, the "S" banquet, as planned by the;
committee in charge, will be state-wide to scope
High School students of outstanding sports
will he honored with invitations, and by attending
will not only obtain an acquaintanceship with thC Col
lege in its exterior aspects, but will find themselve
gaming an insight into the dominating spirit which,
we pride oursehcs, exists on the campus Contact
with the institution and with student lenders cannot
hclp but stimulate an interest which %ill ultimately I
be of no small benefit to Penn 'State
I/==l
It is no secret that the actuating motive of enter
taining prep school stars on such an occasion is to
induce .t number of them to matriculate here as
freshmen Not should it be regarded as something
to be spoken of in whispers' The visitors will have
the opportunity to inform themselves at first hand
emicerning the College and conditions here It is
altogether commendable that such an opportunity
be given them and we know that Penn State still
find tenor in tncir eves
