WARNOCK `Earn as Much as Possible, Borrow Balance for Education,' Alumni Say A judicious combination of earn ing as much as possible and borrow ing the rest is the advice offered by prominent Penn State alumni to stu dents who do not have sufficient funds to go through college. Twenty of the list of outstanding graduates who answered a COLLEGIAN questionnaire believe that a combin ation of the two is the best method. Ten advise working to earn all of the necessary funds. Only two- alumni think that the needy student should borrow all of tho money needed to finance his years in college, while four indicate that it is more desirable to stay out long enough to earn sufficient money to go through all or several years of col lege. Five say that working out of college a year or. two and then earn ing money while attending college is the best, while eight believe that the three methods shobld be combined. Of the fifty-two alumni who an swered the questionnaire, thirty-three earned part of their college expenses, eight earned all of the necessary funds, while eleven did not earn any of the money needed for their ex penses. Of those who worked; ten earned the money during the regular college, session, eight during the sum mer, and twenty-one during both the regular session and the -summer: The concensus of alumni opinion as indicated by additional• ' comments seems to be that students should work part-time only, borrowing some mon 'ey toward the end of their junior or senior years, and then not too much., Preferably, one year and not more than two years is cited as' the maxi mum time that a student should stay out of college to earn money for-his MISS CHARLOTTE E. RAY 1:13=2 "A man does not get full benefit of his . college course when all his time is • devoted to earning his way through," one alumnus says. "There fore, a man should get together thirty or forty percent of his college ex penSes and then earn the rest as lie goes through." "My 'advice to students would 'be, don't borrow too much," adds another alumnus. "I should fix $l,OOO as the maximum. And by all means borrow under the proper 'business terms— pay interest, protect yourself with in- - surance, and. pay back a' stipulated amount yearly after graduation. Otherwise your borrowing will be come a nightmare to. you." Pumps With Black -Both Held Student Style 40 Years Ago Penn State students in the era just following the "gay nineties" wore pumps with dainty black bows, in stead of the more sturdy laced-type shoes in vogue today, according to James Matthews ; 50-year-old negro who has been shining shoes here for over forty , years.

There ,are few graduates of Penn State during this span of years who have not felt the influence of Jimmy Leyden's stirring song of Penn State. And there are few students at Penn State today whose pulse has not been quickened by the strains of "Victory" on the athletic field. There are not quite so many stu dents; however, who have learned of the incidents responsible for the com position of this song. The story of its origin was told by Albert A. Han sen 'l3, Leyden's roommate, to Ed ward K.:Hibshman, alumni secretary. Hansen was one year ahead of Ley den in College but both students re sided in one of the old wooden rooms of the ancient and historic track house, once the home of Penn State athletes, but, recently torn down to make way for a more imposing struc ture. According to Hansen, Jimmy pos- 190 . 3-04 Freshman Handbook Reveals Early College Custorps;Agulations Eighteen freshman handbooks rang ing,from 1903-04 to the present time and. preserved in the Penn State Christian association headquarters in Old.Xain, cast an interesting light on Colrege . customs and conditions in days gimp by. , • In tho earliest book of the collec tion, board for students. is quoted at $2.50 a week i .while room rent is rated $1.00.-The statement, "Tuition is free in all courses," is inserted in a con spicuous place to further convince the student.that his education may be re ieived at a bargain.

'Football offers the opportunity for a new student to begin his campaign for a sport managership. Early in the fall a call is issued for freshmen "third assistant" managers and those who enter the coMpetition •are' put I to work taking care'of football equip moot and performing many duties on I the gridiron and in the gymnasium. In this manner freshmen arc given an opportunity to Make early acquaint ances with a laige number of stu dents. • After football season the freshmen who have retrained in the competition are officially knot n as "second as sistants" managers. They are re quested to report dUring the next foot ball season about a'week before prac tice begins. During their second year as assistant managers they perform duties entailing greater responsibility. Elected from• 'Firsts' At the 'end of the second season, three of the surviving'group are elect-, ed "first assistant" managers. They are elected by the •football manager, football captain,' football coach, grad uate manager of athletics, and the president of the 'Athletic Association largely through the recommendations of the three out-going "first assist ant" managers. The "first assistants" usually snake a majority of. the, football trips and are placed 'in charge ,of most of the arrangements. They supervise the work of the "seconds" and "thirds." At the end of 'the season the foot ball manager is elected from the three "firsts" in practically the same man ner as 'the "first 'assistants" were chosen. The two candidates other than the newly,-elected manager be come freshman.ri4ger'and associate manager, accordinOo the number of votes that they.ieeeive. Other sport managerships at Penn State are gained. in ,practically the same way except. that candidates do not "turn out" until their sophomore year in some, competitions.

One spring morning Leyden • arcme , singing. a song about Penn State that sounded unusually attractive -to 'Hansen. "Wthere'd you get the song, Jimmy?" he yelled. "Just made it up," came the an swer. "Write it down and I'll publish it and give you two' cents royalty on every copy sold," Hansen replied. "I'll do it," came the reponse. And so "Victory" was composed. Clarence Robinson ; then director of music at Tenn State, assisted in the preparation of the song, and several editions were successfully placed on the market.' , So from its modest beginning "Vic tory" has developed into a song that was sung ,by the soldiers',during the World War, a song that has been adopted by hundreds of schools in the United States, and shove all, one of Penn State's most cherished tradi tions, • logo customs. In this code of restric tions, the student is directed to leave all class rooini..in the order of his class precedence. Freshmen were pro hibited from going,out after 9 o'clock unless . aecompabledliy an upperclass man. The handbook for the following year adds to the customs code a few re strictions which have survived down to this year. In the 1912-13 "bible" there are a series of stringent "don'ts" that prohibit freshmen from wearing cuffs on .their trousers and warn the new students against any destruction of property on Hallowe'en. According to the list of customs, only members of ,the three 'upper classes, were permittedAAFk the football between halves of a varsity encounter. Green clinks for freshmen became a custom for the firsb time in 1912: Three years ego fkYylocir stu dents appeared in blue and, white dinks after nearly two decades of the green hats.
