Additional hun dreds gathered until the numbers became uncon trollable Finally the doors were opened and the ru,h started After risking life and limb, the ma jority who but a moment before were outside the portals, gained access to the Armory only to find that their battle had been In vain—there were no seats But Ciat was to be expected The Armory doors should be opened at least one hour before the appointed time for the starting of any spot ring event Perhaps there was some good reason for the delay Saturday night. If so, very few are male of 'it, particularly those who found them . - selves numbered among the provoked multitude outside A NFjv ERA , • Almost invariably, in' her many efferti to Mpand, Pcnn State has found herself severely , handicapped, by absOlute'qubservance to a' lekiSfaturd'and corn= monwealth often fickle in political activities and only occasionally in sympathy wtih the demands for pro gress of such a vibrant organization as the College Complete understanding has not always existed be twLen the institution in the Mutiny valley and the firarcial supc, iors in Harrisburg, \viten it did not, the the loser. Evidences of the resulting stunted growth are still visible about the campus, whLre it is plain that the intellectual faculties have greatly outstripped the physical capacities in the race of progress Unlike many other colleges and universities, Pcnn State is not showered with enormous endow ments nor does she possess bountiful benefactors. With the exception of the Schwab Auditorium and tile Carnegia Library, the College has been dependent for improvements, on the allowance eked out front the Legislature The two exceptions cited base proved indispensable factors in establishing the pres ent status of Penn State Now, however, another gift is about to be pre sented to the Nittany Institution It is the Grange Memorial Dormitory and its erection will represent the harmony existent between both the College ad ministration and the student body and the people of the state. Of the two hundred and fifty thousand dollars required for its completion, approximately ninety thousand dollars have already been raised by the Granges of the Commonwealth. Credit is due each of the contributing lodges for the co-operation accorded the protect, and we feel Justly proud that of these, the Penn State organization has proved' itself the largest contributor as well as the one Most vitally interested After all, that is but a natural state of all airs With the start of construction' work on the new building (probably early in the spring) we look for further cementation of the friendship between the College and the people of the State, a greater reali zation of the service of the Institution, which will manifest itself in the result of the eight million , dollar bond issue referendum next fall and most of all a new ei a tat Penn State. S1:1':“ f`TA.EGIATE VS. INTICAMUICAL I ,lishing eight minor sports in favor of an intenso.,, system of intramural activities the Athletic Governing Board of Syracuse university has aroused more that the disapproval of its own student body. It has stirred the curiosity of other institutions who are anxious to see how this drastic reorganization will be e \ ecuted and just what results will be attained. Western colleges have developed intramural athletics to a very satisfactory basis but have also maintained a high standrd of intercollegiate compe tition Eastern universities on the other hand have concentrated on varsity teams with casual or indiffer ent attention to athletics within the college. But Syracuse has gone to an e•treme Against the hearty resentment of its student body it has inaugurated a radical project, the feasibility of which remains to be determined President Vice-President Trensurcr Editor-In-Chief Assistant Editor Managing Editor Associate Editor Associate Editor The development of intramural athletics, how ever, is a most medient step for in this manner the greatest number of students will be enabled to en gage m their favorite sport. In carrying on a broad athletic program For the general student body and not for n small minority, the mammum benefits are ,to be derived H P. 11111eham '29 L. Mastlfer '29 Yet, what are sports without intercollegiate com petitioro The very spark of college sport, the stan dard of athletics is embodied in rivalry with other colleges A dozen intramuial football teams playing on the college fields would furnish the student body as a whole, less enjoyment than one game in which the varsity eleven was participating Intramural ac tivities are devoid of that competitive incentive that characterizes intercollegiate engagements The pres tige of the college is not at stake and there would be no chance to win a block "S" After all, we like to fight to earn some athletic insignia It is the spirit of competition But this is counterbalanced by the fact that greater.phystcal benefits would accrue to the individual student from intramural athletics. At Penn State where a high standard of manor and minor sport activities have been maintained, the idea of abolition of any blanch is n reconcilable By all means the advancement of intramural athletics should be encouraged and it is only a ntattsr of I.llllc before the proper equipment can be procured for the promotion of an intensive program H E H.
