FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1928 GALA NIGHT FOR 1932 Tonight, Freshmen, the stars will shine for you alone The "Y" is entertaining the entire yeas ling group on the front campus at thew an nual reception Theie will be worth-while speech es, entertainment, eats. Each neophyte will have his first opportunity to meet and shake hands with the notables of the faculty and student body. The high moguls of the vaimus college actrt sties viii be about the campus, ready and willing to greet and advise any oi the newcomers who ale Intel ested in their line of activity. Customs will be "oft" on the campus. A spirit of congeniality and good fellowship will prom' It is hardly necessary to urge the freshmen to be there. A number of the yearlings who at tended the Reception three years ago liked it 30 much that they haven't missed one since They will probably come back in force tonight One can only suggest that they be broadminded enough to give the freshmen a chance because the Recep tion is really for the freshmen after all. The "Y" Is to be congratulated upon the suc cess of their tieshman receptions of past years They spend a ,ga eat deal of time, effort and money in order to stage this inception every yeas, but thee• effort is by no means wasted There is evely lesson to expect that tonight's affair m ill be even better than last year's, all depending, of course, upon that fickle and changeable old plutocrat, the weather man. To the freshmen, "Be there, enjoy yourself, and go easy on the hands of the notables!" THE BOND ISSUE To the members of the three upper classes the $8,000,000 Bond Issue which will come before the voters of the State this fall needs no introduc tion. To the recently-admitted class of freshmen, however, a brief summary of the facts is neces ,sary.. , , • The number ,of applieentt for , admissiOn to Penn State 'has increased with surprising timidity during the past few years. The last two decades has seen the student body increase by 540 per cent, w hile the space in which to educate these students has grown only by 140 per cent. For some time Penn State's physical plant for higher education has been inadequate. Classiooms hale been ovei ciowded, administiative offices have been huddled into rooms so small that the efficiency or the mganization has been seriously hampered, and unsuitable rooms and buildings have been messed into service. After seventy years ot service tradition-hoary Old Main has been condemned for further use after February 1, 1929. Last yeas a section of the plaster in the stairway of this building fell without apparent cause and rendered one of the women students who happened to be passing through temporarily unconscious The zig-zag rents in the masonry on the north side ot Old Main are leminiscent of Poe's famous short story, "The Fall of the House of Usher." The crowded and unsatisfactory condition of almost all the college buildings will soon be apparent to the newcomers. Many of the students have wondered why the number of women students at Penn State is so small in proportion to the number of men. Ap plicants have not been lacking, but dm mitones in which to house additional women students are wanting. It was necessary to place 125 of this year's ireshmen girls in lodging houses in the town. The increase in the annual State appropriation to the College has lagged far behind the gi owth of the student body. The proposed Bond Issue offers the only immediate, practical solution to Penn State's problems. The Bond Issue provides the most efficient and economical means of provid ing for the necessary building replacements and additional buildings by a program extending over a period of years. The Bond Issue offers the sole way of placing Penn State's physical plant on a par with those of other institutions. President Hetzel has found the majority of important individuals in the State warmly in fav- or of the proposed Bond Issue. A number of the editors of l'ennsylvarna's leading newspapers have Pledged themsel% es to support a r.orthy cause. Up to the present time the results of the campaign have been gratifying. Penn State is Pennsylvania's college, the pen ple's college The influence of the College is not limited to its campus and environs. Thioughout the State the people as a whole benefit both direct ly and indirectly by the woik carried on here Last year less than four thousand regular foul-year students linen ed training for their role in assur ing the futui e pi asperity and progress of Penn syls ama. Thiough the extension department 13,571 students wei e given instruction during the past year. Annually mode than two hundred le : heal Ch projects which result in added health, corn fort and NN ell-being to the utwens ol the State are carried on __Editor-in-Met _Assistant Editor _Managing Edam _Associate Editor The new students Hill readily understand the ;campus need for Inca ea,ed building facilites on the ;campus and should explain the situation to their 'relatives and friends at home in older that they may vote intelhgenth upon the Bond Issue at the fall elections This is an age of mass production. Vast num bei s of machines turn out Last numbers of other 'machines, each the image of its neighbor. Vast i numbers of mechanically-minded authors grind out reams of shot t stories and novels according to the same formula. Motion piettne studios feel l out vast numbers of stereotyped drama and melo ama. The punciples of big business have been cal ied into popular magazine wi iting and the movies. Why'? Into the art of the silver screen because the men who control production were once strug gling gi Ewers and butchers who never Lull know the ditibience between cottage cheese and smear case anyway. Into magazine writing because, they say, the public devours it and yells for more.. But behind it all clinks the silt er dollar and the lousy dime. Any product that can be made to slide down the gullible throat of the unthinking and open-pocketed mass is justified. The majority of us want to get rich quick It's natural. It's the expression of the masculine protest. We want to fasten our greasy talons about a tidy foi tune and don't care how we ac complish it, pi oviding w e don't hat e to w oi k too hard for it. Some will even go to the extent of man ying a rich girl whose physiognomy would send a lion into fits of fear and trembling. .Even our institutions of higher lea' lung have been accused of being mere factories and turning out a standardized pr oduct, but as long as students continue to smoke different brands 01 tobacco and girl-smitten amateur veisifieis rhyme "dove" w rth love." there is some hope.

"Penn State welcomes the oppor tunity to place its case squarely be fore the public," the College head declared in a recent message to the parents, "because lie think our claims for liberal public support are based upon demon atic principles that are dear to the hearts of all Pennsyl. vamans "Something tome IS invohed than mete appiosal of an issue of state bonds.
