Things were very nearly perfect. Not, even a poor football game marred the week-ehd. The mass meeting Fridiy night was easily the best held here in years. tßy clever advertising and parading the bands through town, a.large crowd was assembled. The program was short and interesting; the spirit was fine, and the size of the crowd proved that Recreation hall is the logical place for big pep rallies hereafter. "Without a doubt, the highlight of the whole week end was the football game. The same self-appointed critics who were speaking so freely last week are now going around with hanging heads—and rightly so. What a comeback it was! Those who know the game say that the backs were shiftier, the line charged harder, the passes were more accurate—Abe whole team played, good football. And the old spirit was there. The cheering was hearty and well-organized. The Blue Band repeated its fine between-the-halves performance, thereby dis missing one of the main criticisms of Alumni Day last year when the band did not appear at halftime. Student and alumni enthusiasm was vividly demonstrated in the parade which formed immediately after the game. It was the expression of a spirit which has been pent up for a long time and has been waiting for just such an occasion as Saturday's victory. The large number of fraternity decorations, among both the men's and wo men's houses, was another evidence of student interest in Alumni Day. And; the cider party in the Armory Saturday night, with its informal .and friendly atmos phere, was characteristic of the temper of the entire week-end. As a result of the Homecoming events there is un doubtedly a better and deeper feeling of loyalty to the College on the part of both alumni and students. DESERVES SUPPORT Tn the next four days, every student will be asked to contribute funds in the annual finance drive made by the Penn State Christian association. Most students, when accosted by a thing of this sort ; will want to know what they get out of it. The, requesi is natural—and answerable. As in almost every other organization, some of the activities of the Christian association are confined to those students who can actively participate in them. But there are other services performed by the association which touch every student, and these are the reason for asking complete student financial support. Every student is familiar with the services which were af forded to him as a freshman--ithe Student Handbook, the welcoming mass meeting, the counselors, the room lists, the information bureau, as well as others of a More restricted nature. Then there is the very excellent ar ray of speakers which the association brings to the Col lege every year. Sherwood Eddy, Norman Thomas, Margaret Sanger, and Paul Blanchard, to mention only a few, were on the list last year. In addition, there are the fireside sessions, the open forums, the cabin re treats, and other activities. Such an extensive and helpful program obviously requires funds for its continuance. It's up to the stu dents and faculty to see that the program is in no way "ON TO COLUMBIA" is the cry of many students after Saturday's game with Lehigh. iWith the chances for a victory good, the Penn State rooting section at New York should be fairly large. Several round trip and 'accommodation offers to students going to the game have been published elsewhere in this issue. They are worth considering. JUST AS ONE OF the congratulatory messages in the last issue pointed out, the present COLLEGIAN is really one year old—although it did celebrate its thir tieth year of existence on the campus. With every change of "staff, there is a change of policy and a change of atmosphere. Ulhat can be said , of- one year's COLLEGIAN is rarely true of the next. This year's staff They can't tell us that the youth of this country isn't observant. No, sir. Modern youth is quick and keen when it comes to evaluating even our most cherished institutions . A freshman, bright-eyed and eager, walked into a room in •Frear Hall recently to see a friend. He knocked on the door and walked in, then stumbled over a chair just inside the entrance. He picked up the chair and a uniform which had been laying over it. In an instant he was all excitement.. Rushing over to his friend's desk he grabbed him by the shoulder and glancing around at the room's other occupants fairly I=l shouted, "Which one of you guys is a Sea Scout?" We picked up a bit of verse in the Froth den not so long ago. Out of the wastebasket. Something about it struck our fancy so we're offering it to you.

And when a full-grown person goes to extremes in inflicting torture upon helpless animals it arouses our ire science. But we believe in a swift and merciful death rather than a life of shame and disgrace, and (Hs Mrs. Mack, you've just got to stop putting pink pants on rats to see how long they'll wear!

And they're only one-horse words, too all underneath everything we're all nudists has discovered one thing, however, which previous staffs probably also learned—that you can't please everyone. There will always be people who say the student paper is ignoring their news, and playing up that of another sort. Some will say that the humor co'umns are ex cellent, and some will say that they are not befitting a dignified newspaper. Some will call the editorial policy progressive, while others will brand it as "Bol shevik" and harmful. And so on Without attempt ing a long sermon of justification, the COLLEGIAN wishes to say just this: it has endeavored to treat all news fairly as to its value to the reader, to be accurate in the treatment of the news, to encourage the expression of student sentiment regardless of the side taken, to pub lish live humor columns, and to pursue a liberal and thoughtful eclitorial 'policy. It will continue ,to strive for these goals. FRATERNITY ROBBERIES here are becoming a periodic performance. Obviously, the local police are working under handicaps in trying to prevent the rob beries, and in most instances their chalices of catching the thieves are slight. The fault lies with the current fraternity practice of leaving doors unlocked all night. Such a situation, coupled with the reckless manner in which some students take care of their valuables, in vites thievery. The real solution to the problem lies in locking the houses at, night and supplying members with treys. Of course this is more inconvenient than leaving doors unlocked, but a choice must be made be tween slight inconveniences and the possibility of theft.
