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.

I land on my seat with a lupty roar -

“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.

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. C. uniform. \

t Physics building hiul facilities added
se classes formerly housed in the old
■cture halls will lie windowless rooms
'fully air-conditioned and completely
fireproof.'
‘Mechanical apparatus that will be
installed in this and -the Agricultur
al Science buildings to obtain tem
peratures from "20’degrees below ze
ro to several hundred degrees above
and provide proper ventilation in lab
oratories will fill practically an en-
Lire floor in each of the buildings.
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.

73 accredited college sof the state
which are conducting a self-survey to
present a complete picture of educa
tional opportunities and maintain
