Yet the constant reminder is necessary, es psciolly it the project, and it is a stupendously im pot tont one, is to be carried out successfully. The student must he educated to knew that he is a vital instrument whose work it is to boost the bond issue at every occasion, great or small, in the interest ann ler the hetterment of Penn State hroughout the various districts of PennsOvania are thousands of votes which could lust as happily as nit he mustered to the College's cause In every student home there is an average of two or three votes which, converted to aid the protect, will serva as potential determining power.when the final count is made Friends, relatives, business men and all others of franchise rights should be persuaded to add their impetus and should he convinced of Penn State's worthiness and of her real need II the student instrument cannot estract the vote, it can at least, distribute helptul mformaion concerning the College, her situation, her inadequate equipment, her dire need, her real and spiritual ac eomplishments and her gratitude for anything that might aid her rapid' growth During the coming Easter vacation, the student till have more than one opportunity to make use of the persuasive powers that a liberal education devel op, so naturally He should feel it his duty to be come a staunch booster of Penn 'State Should he consider his preachmgs only a petty contribution, and so a fruitless one, to the whole pi ojcct, he should Lnow that his share, combined with those of the re 'naming thousands, will combine to shape the great est rister gilt ever presented to Penn State Pm MISSING LINE Inhabitants of State College and the surrounding tanning communities are looking forward with mote than ordinary interest to the raging legal battle whin will doubtless be waged in the Bellefonte cow thouse tornorrotk mot zung when the Pennsylvania Railroad Lompany opposes the action of the Bellefonte Central rival in issuing bonds to finance the completion of a railway line coin Fairbraok to State College While local townspeople arc agog over the tilt, students Lv'to, after all are vitally concerned and affected, continue their indfferent MIVS without the 1,..1 , 1 panicle of interest Yet, they have atten ut tersd lamentations tor the lack of a direct connecting link of transportation to State College.

THE EASTER. DATE Easter, as observed today, is popularly suppdsbd to dam from the Resurrection of Christ, but as it spring religious festival, developed from ancient customs For ages the coming of spring has been celcb•ated with iestivals of some sort With the passing of winter, the fires of the 'temple of Ve=ta woe lighted anew on the first of March, the beginning of the New Vent according to the ancient Romans In parts of Europe the priests to this day light the tires on Easter Eve and the peas- Hilary believe that the toys from these beacons shin ing on their fields would insure fertility The carry ing of candles in Easter processions is regarded as link with unbent obsei sauces. In northern Europe before the Christian era theie were feasts ui honoi of the goddess of dawn, Eastte. who in the'tectonic mythology ranks with the Aurora of the Romans. The Anglo-Salons, or early firitons, knew of Eostre, or °stern, goddess of the spring or dawn, long before the missionaries brought the Christian faith to their remote island It was several centuries after the death of Christ that his followers began the observance of the day at the Resuirection 'I here soon rose a difference of opinion as to the date of the ceremonies The fist converts as Jews considered Jesus as the Paschal Lamb—as being a saclike connected with the Pass over which pieceded the escape of the children of Israel front Egypt. file cruciEstion took place about the time the Jewish Passover was being held in Jerusalem President Vice-President Ethlor-in-Chier A,lNlant. Editor M tn.t;:ing Etlltor A....ouate liditot AN,oLlate Edam. H P AI tleham '29 I. Altklater 29 Christians who were not of the Hebrew race did not accept the seine date The western Christians insisted that the Restutection he commemorated on the first day of the week, after the Passover A sect called "rourteen-Day Heretics" used the date of the Passover Manager Ids ert M onager ( iiettl it lion 11.1 n gel !EINEM After centuries of dispute the date of Easter 4/4. (Ned as the first Sunday after the new moon, after the vernal eqlllllo%, of March twenty-first. Due to the vartations of the pass tges of the moon, this "fixed" date fall , : anywhere between March twenty second and April twenty-fifth Since a numbei of other holidays are fled by the date at Easter, a hill was introduced in the Brit ish House of Commons, providing that this festival of the Christian faiths be celebrated on the first Sunday atter the first Saturday in April. fhe whims of the weather give rise to another argument in favor of the proposed change. In late years Easter has become more and more of an oc casion on which people of all troths array themselves in new garments and go forth to see and be seen Whether they attend houses of worship or not, theme is this same bowing to fashion. If Easter always came in the sunny part of April instead of falling, as it sometimes does, in blustering March or in the chilly part of April, there would be less doubt as to whether it is best for one to Venture out with the new, and =betimes fragile, spring regalia The Vatican opposes the change, the English are conservative, in America the state does not interfere with the church, and the bill remains a bill.
