N<»*v» Editor This Iwite Tuesday, March 15, 1938 RECESSION IN SPORTSMANSHIP PKNN STATE has been recognized as having a stu dent body who were good sports. Win or lose, the op ponents were given the courtesies that gentlemen would accord one to the other. This week-end, however, the students were neither gentlemen nor sportsmen. We have often complained of the poor reception given our teams in their competit'on at other colleges. After this week-end, we should never again murmur dissent until a reversal of attitude is noticed ’here. This whole year the attitude .has been particularly poor but it reached its height on Saturday when pro longed booing greeted several of the judges’ decisions. Ami oven though'these opinions were at times question able, it is not. the duty of the student body to roar out ts dissatisfaction in the Bronx cheer stylo. A good port may not agree with all the decisions hut he also .eels that bo is nut obligated to tell the other Fans his Only" poor sports let others around them know their e-moiioiis and their partisan feeling and, Saturday, Penn State undergraduates were poor sports of the lowest Stale fans naturally wore hoping for an Army vic tory when they realized that the Lion team was defin itely out of the running. But when the spectators al lowed their emotions to take the form of booing, they Lhemselves put a black mark on the sportsmanship of Penn State. •'} This year we were host to two new competitors for IheM.oxing championship title, and the reception that they received may well decide whether or not they will continue entering teams. On March 25 and 2G, Penn State will he a host, this time to wrestlers from all over the country. The stu dent body can redeem itself somewhat by acting as sportsmen at this tourney and at the remaining sports contests this spring. Our reputation was greatly depressed Saturday, hut in courtesy the upturn is far easier to attain than in the business eyelef'-A little restraint from the fans will accomplish tJie upward-swing. Let’s have some pros- perity in sportsmanship.—T. A.'lb W. S. <;. A. PRIMARIES TO CHOOSE KEPKI2SRNTATIVK officers, the votes of every woman should he placed in the primaries and final elections. No one should forget that it may Lt l her vote Hint will elecL the nominee into office. The nominees have been chosen by the nominating committee, and the added names have been approved by it. W.'th the exception of a few names which have l*eea dropped by the committee, in each case for a pro- •rril ed reason, the nominations stand as they were These women are the candidates that have been nom inated by all of the women. It is up to them now to se lect. their officers. While there are no definite cliques similar to the -men’s, it is useless to deny that there are faction*. Most of these factions have presented wo men for election. Some have been accepted. Ileyardless of which fuction may have brought about the nomination, it is the suitability of the candidates, not the faction, which should govern the women's votes. With primaries tomorrow and final elections Friday, the Collegian has presented short sketches of the nomi nees to help acquaint the women with their candidates for the respective offices. Unless the candidate’s quali- fications are felt sufficient to entitle her to-a particular posl, women should not vote for that candidate.—-It.E.S. TO DIRECTOR* RICHARD W. GRANT, members of the Glee Club, and other musicians who participated in the concert in Schwab Auditorium on Sunday after- noon go our congratulations. More than 1,100 students, ' faculty members, and townspeople filled every seat and stood in the aisles. The program was longer than that of the other Sunday afternoon concerts but the audience showed its approval by asking for encores. This year’s series,.includes two more concerts than were presented last year. One is a program by the two R. <). T. C. bands scheduled for next Sunday and the other is a re-appearance of the symphony orchestra. A re-uppearance of the Glee club, possibly on the Sunday after the last scheduled concert, planned'for March 27, would he appropriate and well received, we feel, by students and faculty members. The audience OLD MANIA Mother of Men: A freshman’s father was in town last week check ing on his non. "I found out h's grades hut I want to know about Ids conduct," the providing parent said. *‘J want to know whether he comes in late or early, whether he behaves or not, whether he .studies or not, etc. And I don’t trust the landlady." So Lhe man repaired to the Doan of Men Wnrnoek’s office where he was reassured by Mrs. Kicker of his son's ‘‘excellent behaviour.’’ ft. 0. T. C. Merrg-Go-Rouiul: Following a lady and her little son up the campus on Saturday we heard an interesting conversation. “What is that?" said the hoy. “That’s the armory," said the lady. “What’s that for?" said the. hoy. “Oh, ihat’s whore the hoys march Youndaiul ’round and have lots of fun," said the lady. Made us think of Mussolini and Hitler hut we couldn’t agree. Rclla E. Sheen *39 Thnma* A. Boat ’39 .John A. Trnnnovitrh ’39 Fnn on Wheels: The armory! The armory! I roller skate 'til my ‘muscles are sore. I land on my seat with a lupty roar - When my pants coincide with the wooden floor 'Hie armory! the armory! ‘ tf’ll never go there any more. o $ •>- “Silence”—“No Smoking” “Etc.”: Most interesting of the recent campaigns in augurated on the campus is the quiet campaign now in full bloom at the Cnjmegie Library. The author is Mr. Willard P. Lewis, College librarian, who “pus sy-foots” around the shack as if his heels were filled with tacks. The biggest obstacle to he overcome in the drive is presented by clas-es held there because of the lack of class rooms in the water tower. So Willie has pre pared a two-minute speech that he presents to the classes, asking their cooperation and less noise in going up and down the circular staircases (a feu lur;. of ihe library building.) And before we forget *t, no smoking in that building. Cause of the campaign was the little eo-ed who complained about the noise in Lhe building. .Results of the campaign—we hesitate to predict. Culie Queens Not satisfied with the selection for May Queen ihal Dampy made last issue we nominate the follow ing candidates for their sheer beauty: Jimmy Mitchell, Phi Cam; Eddie Feinblatt, Pin Ep; Bud (Baby-Face) Gordon, Beta Pie; Johnny GciUher, Theta Chi; Tommy Deitz, PS Club; and *.lcmmy Moeller, KDR. for disqualification because of intimacy ' with Student Board and WSGA. Shearing of the Sheep Howie Anderson (not to be confused wiih Bud Anderson), sigma nu and second assistant to the 1 oxing manager in charge of resin sprinkling, was selected guardian of the Army hoys, uniform and all. fBuL Howie just couldn’t be an Army boy with l hose long golden locks. So Bess and the boys took •Howie to one of the local tonsorial artists on Satur day and the tonsorial artist sheared Howie’s locks. Now Howie looks just like the Army hoys—in his K. 0. T.

Equipment will include a large num-, her of exhaust fans, compressors, heating units and other appliances. The, new Library building, largest unit' to be constructed at this time, will house seven t’ers or floors of book stacks in the rear .wing. Humidity and temperatures in the “stack rooms will be automatically controlled at>a!l times. Electrical circuits for lighting fixtures in reading rooms will be'op ; erated automatically by photo-elec tric cells, which will turn lights on when daylight falls below a pre-de termined normal intensity and turn lights off when normal intensity-re occurs. The Electrical Engineering build ing will provide more headaches per square foot for electricians than any other building in the group, it was said. Underground duet work, con duits, and raceways will carry hun dreds of miles of electrical conduct ors. .The Mineral Industries building ad dition will have a typical deep well pump unit, similar to those used in | the oil industry. Instead of pumping Soil, this well will pump water for cooling the air-conditioning unit that will service the new addition. Trenches for installation of water, gas, air, telephone, electrical lines for light and power, sanitary and storm sewers, and,heating lines to new and old buildings will crof.s and recross campus walks and' paths when the major construction work on the build-' ings opens next month. Actual work on these underground service lines began this month.
