ANDY LIME
Andy Lytle has gone The grand old
gentleman uilo remembered the pioneer days
of the, College has been beckoned by the Great
Spirit He leases behind him a host of students,
alumni, faculty and townspeople, who all were
his friends, who are grieving his loss.
There is a cabin hidden away in the moun
tains near Shingletov.n Gap tc,tat bears the name
of the only •man to own the title of "Penn
'State's oldest freshman." That cabin will serve
vs a monument to the memory of the man who
lased and was loved by everything that is Penit
State That cabin will overlook the College
and town, wiil watch its progress and develop
ment, lust as Andy was wont to do
He was an honorary member of teac Class
of 1928 His classmates, the present seniors,
have lost a staunch ft lend. Penn State has lust
es:perienced the passing of a supporter who
always had the best interests of the institution
foremost Andy Lytle has gone but his spirit
will Inc' fore‘er in the minds of all who knew
him.
BEYOND CITY LIMITS
Someone, well-versed in fraternity grans, has
said that the two best colleges for the placing of Ira
termites were Dartmouth and Penn State The fact
that both institutions are situated at sonic distance
train cities was undoubtedly the basis for that
ME=
With the first Peon Sttiie Interfraternity Confer
} nce seaeduled for FehiMarY fourth, fifth and mull,
the spotlight: is being turned on,the.fit,ty,',or more
Ii aternities with greater intensity than has ever be
tore been the case What \mil the strong rays of
flare caused by the Conference reveal' Will it show
health , . co-operatne condition existing or will it
ci cal that the many fraternities are not big enough
t a project that is certain to prove of west -I
unable benefit to the fraternity system at Penn Stem'
There is a stupendous task facing fraternities'
who arc members of either the lnterfroterntty or
Intl amm al Councils if this project is to be written
down as a S./ CCCSS. The many details, the odds and
ends that must be gathered together and accounted
Ini in older to produce a smooth-working program,
all enter into any conference or convention. Minute
particulars must be given as much attention as the
main meetings if the Interfraternity Conference is
to result in a strong, helpful conclave. Co-operation
is essential in any united effort.
. The announced plans for the Conference already
indicate that it bids fair to be one of the best attrac
tions that Ibsen been staged here. TWO or the fore
most fraternity men in the country have been se . -
cured as speakers for the affair, in Dr. Francis
Shepardson and Dr Joseph Nate instruction will be
obtained front two fraternity workers who have
&voted their time to college fraternities and their
problems It is quite probable that they will be able
to give many fraternity men who hear them an en
tly new insight regarding the true purposes of a
fraternity With these two men as a nucleus, the
fraternity members are afforded an unusual
opportunity
Thc , Penn State fraternities will be placed on
exhibition, not only to each other but to visitors from
out•of-town. The organizations will be garbed in
their very best in order to establish themselves in
critical eyes Collectively, the group will endeavor
to show that the basis for the remark about Dart
mouth and Penn State fraternities had a more
definite basis than the fact that organizations hero

Wilt the time for the acquisition of a new gym
nasium for Penn State drawing near the Department
of Physical Education has taken a decidedly prudent
step in abandoning its former system of mass ath
letic. No longer do two or three hundred students, to
pursuit of one basketball, cavort on the Armory floor
like a pack of hoodlums. Cases of broken bones,
sprained wrists and scratched faces arising from
accidents in the antiquated gymnasium have dis
appeared. And so has an intolerable system of
athletics after an eight-year trial ,
The physical education department has put into
effect a ness plan of athletic recreation which may
be conveniently transferred from the old Armory to
the modern gymnasium when the time arrives Each
freshman and sophomot e is required to report to the
Armory at designated hours, twice a week, for calis
thenic exercises. ' But I would rather go out for a
sport." clamor many This plea has been recognized.
Physical education students may participate in any
sport with the sanction of the respective coach who
considers attitude and ability only as prerequisites.

Under the new system, however, every student
is put through a. period of comprehensive exercises
in the co-ordination of mind and body. Games under
the supervision of the instructors are included. No
one to injured. Everyone is physically benefited.
Formerly, only a few snapping fellows could derive
some pleasure from the unorganized games, or rather
battles, on the Armory hoof For those with physical
defects, the new system provides special exercises
such as swinging Indian clubs or lighter apparatus
o orb
A few students have derided the reorganization
of the physical education methods. But only a small
minority fail to realize that a course of this nature
cannot be successful wi thout supervision or discipline
Only a beginning has been made A broad
athletic program to include more students and satisfy
a greater number of interests is being planned A
huge athletic plant with modern equipment and
gieater facilities will place Penn State sport activities
upon a higher level
AFTER THE HORSE HAS BEEN STOLEN
Sometime ago it was ut ged through these col
umns that the proper authorities take steps to legis
late against anyone smoking within the confines of
Old Main. The proposition was greeted V. ith brio or
by many people but that was all that was done. For
a time, it appeared as though the matter would gain
headway through the in oper channels, and later result
into an actuality, but those hopes were soon to on
dashed into the obit\ ion that is the final resting place
of far too many worth while projects
Months hose passed and a burning cigarette or
carelessly tossed match have as yet failed to find a
spot to then liking—Old Main has been spared by
that rcspector of nothing, fire, Valuable papers,
priceless documents human lives daily risk complete
destruction while within the confines of a building
that uotdd be to flames what a juicy steak is to a
tr^rir
EIMMIIIaI
•me day vhe inevitable will happen. Old Main
will tall prey to ravenous flames. Rules will become
immediately effective pi ohibiting smoking in the
Chemistry, Old Mining buildings and other "fire
traps" but the main damage will have been done
Within a year, Old Main will be given over to
architects, laborers and carpenters while the interior
,undergoes a violent change. The outside walls will
remain, for tradition's sake, as they are But fire
does not consider tradition.
No one would be seriously handicapped by being
forced to refrain from smoking in Old Main Every
one would be willing to forego a cigarette if human
life is endangered. Perhaps undue alarm has been
raised. The main reason is based on sanity and
common-sense.

A hank is more than the building it occupies.
It is more than the capital and surplus. It is
a living institution, made so by the men who
manage it.
Their character is the bank's character. Their
reputation Tor .sagacity, for conservation, for
good judgment becomes the bank's reputation.
The officer's of this institution fully realize this
fact and are.determined to guard the fine repu

Dear Sus•
Justaconfessionandanappreciation.
A number of years ago I was a user
of your Edgeworth smoking tobacco
But like some others, perhaps,' was led
by allunng advertisements to change.
A few days ago I went into a drug
store to get some tobacco. ands= the
case was the familiar can of Edgeworth.
I bought it and since then I have en
joyed old-time comfort.
So my confession is that I made a
mistake in changing to other brands,
and my appreciation mooch that Edge
north will be my Smoke Pal while life
lasts, which may not be long, for I
have passed my "three score years and
ten "
