Tuesday, October 23, 1934 EXPLANATION Faculty members and students alike have long been annoyed by the petty observance of detail that is maintained by those working under the head of the Grounds and Buildings department. One example of this slavish devotion to red-tape is of interest as the explanation for a large white space on the sports page of today’s issue of this paper. Official orders had gone out from the office of de- partmental cliief George W. Ebert that students would not he allowed in the new West Stands during Satur- day’s freshman game, as they were being painted. Three people violated that rule. Noticing that a swarm of workmen were wandering vaguely about the new structure, and that the press box was not being paint- ed. the publicity department reporter, his telegrapher, and the Collegian football writer went there to work. Early in the second half they were peremptorily ordered out by a campus patrolman, who stated that Mr. Ebert's orders were to allow no one in the stands. The newspapermen stopped their work to argue the telegrapher got his way. Then the publicity depart- ment man won his point. The student writer, however, was less fortunate. He was thrown out. There’s a nice big white space on the sports page today. It’s where the freshman football write-up should be. Until representatives of this paper receive at least a modicum of consideration from officious mem- bers of the janitorial force, there just won’t'be any re- ports on games played on New Beaver field. IN A SINCERE EFFORT to make the Artists Course this year as successful and as interesting as last year, the committee in charge of selecting attractions has requested the cooperation of the Collegian and the student body in choosing artists. Elsewhere in this is- sue is a ballot, which they ask you to clip and turn in at the Student Union desk before 7 o’clock tomorrow night. On the ballot are listed suggestions, five of which may be checked, or five new suggestions may be written on, just as the individual prefers. The com- mittee asks for a large scale vote in order to best serve the interests of the student body as a whole. Is it too much to ask? Yi OF 1 PERCENT Members of the Penn State Christian Association will this week solicit students for support towards the continuation of the organization’s work this year. They ask for $3,000 from students, for $l,OOO from faculty In their booklet, appropriately enough entitled, “Tlic P.S.C.A. Deserves Your Support,” the finance committee has outlined thirty reasons for their conten tion. Many of the items are familiar to Penn State students:—fireside sessions, open forums, employment bureau, the Handbook, fraternity pledge dinner but others will be a surprise. The Association, in its prospectus, points out that, even with a limited expenditure of $6OO for a college year, the $2.50 asked for the issuance of a membership card is one-half of one percent of the total. It is ob vious to note here that this is a small, although not by any moans a trivial amount, a sum which the Asso ciation justifiably feels is well within the means of every student. “When we realize that this Association is organ ized to aid nil students, to make our campus life friendlier and finer, to help the individual student in his religious life, wc should all want to have a part in the work and to support it>—” the words are President Hetzel’s. The thought is one which even those on this campus who do not entirely agree with the letter of P.S.C.A. work must admit. Dorm have been drifting past these non-too-observ- ant ears for quite some little time now. and finally the very strength of numbers demanded an investigation. For a couple of days we tried to get someone to look into things, but without notable success." So, like the boy in the grammar school ‘You-Can-Be-Presidcnt’ books, we did it ourselves. Brace yourselves the findings of the research department are about to be made public. 1. Grange Dorm has a. new chaperone, a dis tinctive one, one with ideas. The latest quotations have it that she hails from East Stroudsburg State Teachers College (Deah ole Stroudsburg) where she held down the office of Dean of Women, or some thing. To her friends (we haven’t located any of them yet) she is known as. Caroline; to the multi tude of cowering co-eds under her, simply and straight forwardly as Miss Dyson. 2. Freshman women now know now to sneer at the boorish advances made by fraternity men, thanks to the intuitive ability of Miss Dyson. (Or Caroline, if you pi'efer.) At a meeting for their benefit/ she outlined the evils of going upstairs to look at real hand-painted art work, and so forth, until now the poor dear little innocents are about as male able as a sizeable chunk of Pottsvillc anthracite. ..Harry B. Henderson jr. '3C 3. Ladies who have arranged engagements, (some vulgar people call them ‘dates’) now have :v new system. Gone is the days of yelling-upstaira ism and of vain attempts to get the third floor on the creaky phone. Now the girl who’s expecting ‘callers’ is expected to sit in the ‘lobby’ reading a good ‘book’ (yeah, they've got one there, just for the purpose) until' the ‘swain’ arrives, clad in his best suit of armor. 4. Upperclass ‘gilds’ with the evening, or a few minutes to spare, are supposed to hang around down stairs and ‘entertain’ guys who are waiting for dolls. (There are some mighty embarrassing situations that can arise from that, my good woman. —Ed. Note.) • 6. The local ‘pie man’ is getting robbed of his nights’ pajama-clad pageant. It’s immodest, it seejns, for the ‘girls’ to go order hamburgs while clad only in sleeping apparel. (We never had heard of the cus tom. Ah, if we only had in the ‘good old days.’) Coats are to be worn now, at least coats. 7. People like Boots Carroll, who recently dashed over to Grange for a quick shower (upon dis covering that the Theta Phi Alpha hot water supply was non-existent) are foiled. They either take baths at home, or join the great unwashed. Grange is no place for carryings on like quick showers, etc. 8. Smoking. Ohhhhhhhh! ! ! ! Miss Caroline (we feci as if we almost know her, by now) has our whole hearted support in one mat ter,- though. She thinks the women should study a lot more. One of this sheet’s sports aces went to the Temple-West .Virginia night fray (How we doin’, F. W. W.?) the other night and got a lot of sugges tions as to how the game ought to he played. The nice feature, he says, was the rendition of ‘Love in Bloom,’ by the gigantic Temple Military Band, during the half. They’re pretty good, he says. ****** About Town & Campus: Prof. X had a sudden, un fortunate immersion while strolling about the Sewage Disposal Plant the other day.

Beaven, presi dent of the Colgate-Rochester Divin ity school, prophesied in his chapel address in Schwab auditorium Sun day morning. Dr. Beaven bases his belief upon the things he has seen in studying the religious trends in many coun tries today. He pointed out the ap parent failure of the church in Rus sia; the religious revolution in Ger many; and the new ideas t»f religion being formed in Mexico; as definite indications of an approaching crisis. “Don’t keep religion simply because we have always had it,” Dr. Beaven warned, “but study it apd thereby you will learn that it is indispensable for the advancement of mankind, and thus appreciate the real task that it is doing for you.” In conclusion Dr. Beaven appealed to the student body, and to the in telligent class of people, “to think their way out.” It is his firm belief that by sane and intelligent consid eration, the crisis can safely be pass ed. Dr. Beaven has appeared before the student body here on several oc casions in the past few years. He was the mid-year commencement speaker in 1932 and gave the bacca laureate sermon in June, 1933. • Letter Box . Editor of the Collegian As a junior in college I am begin ning to realize that I’ve been taking many things about the school for granted. The advent of the P.S.C.A. drive for funds- has made me wonder how many have been doing just that with the Christian Association. How many students realize the ideftyiite contributions it makes to our school life, and the services it renders? The P.S.C.A. makes it possible for us to hoar men like Dr. Bruce Curry, Dr. Crane, “Bill” Wood, and many others; it gives us our Student Hand books; - sponsors the Fireside Ses sions; helps us to find employment; and promotes numerous other worth while projects. In fact,-the Associa tion is decidedly a part of Penn State. The effectiveness of the P.S.C.A. depends upon and deserves student support. Let’s. show real Penn State spirit, and put The Association over for another year. +: +' + To the Editor: The performance of the. Blue Band and the ovations they so justly re ceive lead - me to reflect upon the mat ter of cheering.* Two-thirds of our football show is* running smoothly— we have the best team in recent years and a band that is second to none. But where is our cheering? I believe that we can have a cheer ing student body only by putting on a good show and by placing a pre mium on good cheering. I propose five things which, I believe, would go far towards banishing football games, during which the spectators on the top row can hear the signals being'-called. [ - .I. The old lion skin the cheerlead ers used to cavort In is worn out. Why can’t Penn State have a mas cot? Another lion skin would im measurably enhance Mr. Edwards’ dramatic possibilities. We might even have a real Nittany Lion —they are not scarce “and would certainly not cost much to ; keep. , 11. ,There should be four cheering sections of one hundred real rooters —two in each stand. (A real rooter is one who goes home from games hoarse.) Real cheering could then be continuously ibe supplied. . A bus load of the most- effective of these chcerers might accompany the team on trips and this .would certainly bol ster the team's spirits when battling on foreign turf.-' 111. Two or three short “fight” cheers should be introduced; “The Lion” is a step]‘in the right direc tion. Out of a repertoire of eight cheers, three are never used; the “Lo comotive" does not lend itself to fre-| quent usage; “The Lion” is being done to death, as is the “Short” yell while the “College” and “New” yells seem headed for similar fates. IV. At prep school we used to yell every time an individual distinguish ed himself. Are we college men too sophisticated to do likewise? V. I find it hard to cheer for a leader who doesn’t - even get hoarse. Our leaders, with the • exception. of the other senior, seem to be reserving their efforts for Junior Prom. , . —Moosenose ’36 New Ringless and Shadowless HOSIERY Golham and As You Like It.

In this manner, the student is assured of a direct benefit for his contribution. Albert '3s is serving as student co-chairman for the second year in succession, with Katherine B.
