NOW OR NEVER!
For months the Bond Issue has been tinging with
almost maddening insistency in the eats of Penn State men
Students hate been advises and ate alt king, admtmstta
ttve men hate been del icng. loosing, planning, alumni
anl has been 'ought, flamers, business men newspapers
all hate heard the ple.t. The Issue has been present , d
faithfully and exhaustively and we watt anxiously, almost
grimly, the result. We rent, relax. feeling that out sales
talk has been presented, and that we must look forward to
a purchase or a dull refusal.
Put there is no season to rest The fight has just
begun and by icttest no may lose much of the grourd
gained Thine .us postcaids to be sent, letters to he
'written, voting to be done. Anil the last impression is
the hest and most forceful because of its timeliness Tne
tune has seine when ere, student may rinse the worth of
his college existence, ,hen mery Penn State man may
lustily that drum by action, walk, light, tireless effort
Sonia unsympathetic political faction has spread
last-minute broadside at all bond issues, including out ov n,
with the hope of dispel sing with a single moment's effort
what months of work has organized That means fight,
action, retaliation Will sic stand passii. ely , unmoved,
undistutbed, n ithout a counter attack , If we will, it
will mail< the hest lisle that an', Penn State tams—anl
MC tie a tram—has ainanled to the ground, defeated
without a tetuin blow, without the spirited and determined
effort that has character zed Penn State nien in their men
enterprise.
Scarcely thice drys lemon, The thoat.ands of nen
votes ulto sod' enlist in Penn State's cause must he
minted now. It is the duty of Limy student to Ucqk
faithful's. petsevo melt, until the Issue is decided Not
une can he smiled Not one is exempt
AFTER THE ELEVENTH HOUR
In iceent 1. ears the phrase, "character building," has
occupied a prominent place in the socabulmy of those who

Juice of the tabled piano' Think a moment. What is
ch ttacter building' , It is the fin matatin of mental habits
and attitudes during the plastic retied called "solith "
What, then, are some of the habits that the undergradu
ates form" One is the habit of tardiness, of being Just
a few minutes late fee everything Any one with half an
eye can see the truth of this statement at htst hoot classes.
A blind nun with a bad eat on the off side can note the
luotalcnce of late comers At Sunday chapel,
Late minims are of two types The fast and molt
numerous type procinstinate because they have formcd
the habit And haven't enough enmity to snap themsekca
nut of it. The second group dehberately appear late in
aides to att., act attention to theniseb.es, to bulge thou ego,
The habit is Militia to um out If you are customatily
late for chapel, you'll probably ptopose to the "milt gut

Romeo; you'll probably Irritate lons friends and relatives
by hesitating lk hen it comes time to climb into that little
black box; a little rod devil will probably have to prod

fire-feeding gambol. So much for the personal evils of
prociastmation
Front another Nienpoint these use strenuous objec
tions to late comers at Sunday chapel Every time a
sleepy student walks into the Auditorium after the
clot oath hour, attention is deflected from the speaker.
Such compaintivelv instil insults as loudly masticating
gain and leading the Sunday scandal sheets in the rent
rows might be pardoned, but continual interruptions by
lute arrivals can no longer be brooked If a •'ttord to the
wise is sufficient," no action on the part of the College till
be necessary. If not, mongols should he stationed at the
