Students at Penn State most certainly meet the announcement wroth time than a little enthusiasm, be lieving that this contest next 44 inter sill lead to schedul ing furthet events with Pennsylvania until the tayi institutions whose Ideals in sport have become so sim ilar will once mote meet each °Oct in evely field of organized sport Penn and Penn State today have eoneunent motives in conducting and developing then athletics And when this consulciation is backed up by the fact that the two institutions ale natural geographical rivals, and that alumni _of both schools have always looked forward eagerly to contests between the Quakes and the Nit tam Lions, theme are nidisputAle reasons why athletic relations should be poi petuated Athletic officials of the two schools have well under stood the desirability of Penn-Penn State athletic events, and have made future meetings beim een the colleges ro.sible It is now up to the students of the two institu tionr to forget post differences, to forget hitter antag onisms caused chiefly by over-zealous athletic teams and student bodies who would not remember that hitter Ims-directed molly could never be condume to good sportsmanship and fair play. Thu spoiling iivalry between two gloat institu tions in the Commonwealth should be built on mutual respect fen each other. Constructed in this manner theie is eNely opportunity for Pennsylvania and Penn State to establish an athletic ielationslup as fine and lasting as any in the nation, Elimination of the heavyweight class in intercol legiate hosing has caused much discussion among fol- Icwors of the ling sport Although there air many who conclude that outstanding bosom null be deprised of their__ chance to enter the fistic arena, we believe that the Association officials had sound reasons to back their decision. It cannot be denied that beaer college fighters Inane been developed in the lighter weights, and the addition of the 155-pound class to the program should more than take the place of the unlinuted A TIMELY TOPIC It's discouraging to notice that a year has gone by since the completion of Old Main, At ithout a resumption of the use of n bell to denote class changes. Before the College turned modern, a gong in the tones signalled at ten nunutes beim° the hoot in the morning, and ten min utes altos the hour in the afternoon. But evidently it's smut not to I,no, when your class ends in begins. As a result, the class changes ate now determined by any thing from ,rist watches to professional time-pieces. At eight o'clock any mot ning the suleualks betsseen College menu° and the Armory are still ciowded with bullying flames ssho didn't realize it was so late, at five minutes of nine these are n remarkable number of classes just being dismissed The same situation esists IP the afternoon, nth a slight severest of rosin More people are late to class, and a few less classes are dis missed tardily. Why these should be no signal as there seas for merly, see have novel been able to ascettam Perhaps It's just because someone forgot to resume the old practice, perhaps sense people think that signals ate too rests seting; perhaps it's considered unnecessary. But inlets these's some fine lesson not yet unearthed for dis continuing this practice, an idle glance at the campus vtdewalks aftet classes dart should be a Lastly convinc ing as gument for the bell as a useful signal. Lack of student intmest has caused officials of the Athletic Association to cancel plans for 'cloying the retuzim of football gables to Schwab auditorium. The cancellation was entoinly wai ranted since not more than fifty students listened to the retutns of the Temple name, but it is 'other nn unfortunate state of onus when officials are forced to take such action. To insure the success of the full ultra=lel sports es cry fl ate, nity and every passible unit of non-flaternity OLD MANIA Our nich-lival, the Cnmpuseer, just recently got off a clack in re the flood-lights on Old Main toner, insinuating that the administration might be spend ing the students' incidental fees for new library books instead of 1010Matts. To this stl letly pro-administla torn depai tment, that sounds like treason, by crack} ! In the first place, anybody with i<_• a brain knows that there am more books In the library now than one person could rend in four years. In the second place, anybody with VA an eye can sec that the tower on Old Main was put there for people to look nt. There's not Men a mooring -mast for dirigibles on it. Any architect can tell you that a toner like that tuns into dough ObNiously, the College would be cheated if nobody could see the tower after dark— people ought Loon it Was up thole Sz all that, but if they couldn't sec it, what good neould it be' (Paldon me, lady, dui you say what good is it now? None of lout business—who's twining this College, anyway') We hose it lions a metty reliable source (we're net very fussy about our souices anyhow) that the Dean of Music at Temple tequiied all the students in his school to go to the game last Saturday, so they could listen to the Blue Band. This news cheers us immensely, at the same time making us wonder Just what, as you Americans say, is what. If things keep going the way they have been, we'd like to suggest that the College gn,es up the football and concentrates on the Blue Band. After a while see could just foi felt the gnnie and send the Band to Philadelphia or Pittsburgh. The spectators would come, watch the other school's football team go through a snappy signal drill, and listen to the Blue Band. With a situation like that, it's not hard to imagine Penn State scheduling a football sonic with the Now England Censer% atory of Alusie, or the Philadelphia Phi'hernia= Orchestra. Di. Dengler, in Gieck 25 the other day, re marked on Lenin, the late great Russian revolutionist It seems that upon Lenin's death, the Russians thought so ninth of him that they embalmed him 8 set him up in a glass frame Los people to look at. (We meant to ask the Dr. 55 bother they turned flood-lights on Inn , at night, but it slipped oui mind ) Dengler said that this made Lenin a classic, being as he ass pi °served for posterity, looked absolutely & natural, and acts quite harmless Or at least that Was the general idea, and it struck us as being a very ev.cellent idea indeed. Here is a chance for Penn State to acquire a bunch of classics, simply by means of some chloroform, some embalming fluid, and a few glass cases. We'‘e °Nen gone so far as to make out a list of prominent people so e'd like to see stuffed & framed & set up in 01,1 Main lobby. If {NC had to title this Paragraph, it would be labelled Sic Transit Gloria. It seems that a certain junior v,as at the Temple game, and noticed that the party sitting beside him looked sort of familiar. After a while his curiosity got the better of him and ho leaned ovei and said, "I beg your pardon, but didn't, you go to State?" The fanuliar-looking party said yes, he did "I thought so," said the Junior. "I'm sorry, but I can't recall your name." "French," replied the fella in question. "Cooper French."
