Despite the scheduled Armistice Da>... hostilities on the gridiron between the op posing squads will not lie slack. The fact that the game is the last of the current series between the rivals wilt aid consideiablv in assuring a hard-fought contest. With such spirit-provoking incentives it will not be an easy task to calm the huge gathering of Nittany Lion rooters. The Collegian is happy to see the in creased display of (the so-termed “collegp spirit.” but it would not lie happy to see n iccurrence of last year’s damaging “rough neck riot.” If Penn State students do not pralicipate m such post-game outbreaks, Penn Stale lannot lie unjustly accused of producing re negated roughnecks. POLITICAL BREEZES POLITICAL WINDS have begun m the Class of 1943 and interest among all fresh men should be—if it isn’t— focusing on pos sible candidates among their classmates With elections only one month away, it is important that the members of the first year" class 1 endeavor, to hecome acquainted among, hecoqie, .faruiljar, with the method ofsefecting class'officers However, it is not so important to dwell more on personalities than on issues, < , Today there exists on this campus a new and enlightened student attitude toward student problems, an attitude which has aided materially in lifting campus politics to a more decent and more sensible level. Because of this fact it is necessary to have opposing parties follow the prevailing political thought and devote more consider ation to issues rather than to personalities. Minor preliminaries are now underway and soon competing parties will have com mitteemen whose problem will be to recom mend nominations for class officers and to recommend a platform Both problems are important not only to the members of the committee or the par ty, but also—past attitudes dispelled—to every member of the freshman class and even to the student body as a whole. If the great improvement noted in camp us politics during the past two years or so is to continue, it is of prime importance that sufficient consideration be given to candidates and especially to issues. Such will insure the continued upswing of student welfare. AN EDITORIAL—“WiII the Price Be High ?”—in the October 3,1936 issue of the Collegian following Hugo Bezdek’s remov al contained this statement: “The alumni got what they wanted with the removal of Bezdek. If that does not produce results they will try again.” CAMPUSEER We were all set to pound out the usual pre-Penr game column, full of “whcie to go before and af ter the gome” and all the rest of the usual tripe when we inn across a big black book that tells the story of 73 men who should be attending the alumni smokei at the Ben Franklin tonight—or possibly planning to stay at home tomonow af ternoon with their wives and children to listen to tlie ladio account of the game, and tell aboui the big Penn games back in the good old days The Missing 73: But those 73 men will be absent fiom the fe>- tivities Foi they went out to *ave the world foi democracy, 01 so they weie told Some of them lie beneath their native sod, then places maiked by little tatteied fags that maik a heio's giavo Still more lie “somewhere jn F ance” thats all we know about them In the big black book that no one looks at anv more, a book called “Penn State in the World War,” the Alumni Association has recorded the tale of the thousands who left their test tubes ami slide iules for gun« and bayonets »n it we read th<» story of two stalwarts named Levi Lamb and “Red” Bebout a left tackle and a guaid whose pre*>ence added much to the power of those strong Nittany elevens that whipped Penn by 22-6 in 1911 and by 14-0 in 1912 rsi's mi | in Flanders Fields: _ sin U Kemp *•)! Of Lieutenant Levi Lorenzo Lamb the book has this to say. “He was killed instantaneously while leading his command in action (hiring the allied advance south of»Soissons Tuly 18, 1918 just foui years after he made his mark on the gndihon, mat, and track here at State) ” « And of Lamb’s team mate a.id pal, “Red" Be bout, a classmate wrote this “1 saw him rise to fire his rifle at a machine gunner and he irtime riiately fell foiward The men in his company tried- to help him back, but death was practically instantaneous ” It was less than a year after his last 1 season on the Blue and White baseball team that Dave Mingle met disaster He was giving flying instruc tions over Pensacola when hi< plane nose-dived 600 feet into the^bay Many of them *died in hospitals of influenza Theie was Frartk Fredette 'l5 of the varsity track team . and Walter Jones ’lB of the glee club and Thespians . and Tom Keefe *l3, baseball star and ag student leader .

Howevei, now is the ideal time to suggest what I have in mind— a Spring vacation rather than an Easter‘vacation iThatime is ideal because it is far enough in "ad vance of necessary action to allow something to be done about it Reason formy suggestion is that too often—as last yeai—Eastei falls so late that there are only a few weeks between it and final examinations, and also that the stretch from Christmas to Eastei begins to diag very heavily ' Next vear, Eastei comes on March 24 r which isn’t a bad date, but'the following year we can ex pect it to be much later and can took for a repetition of last spring I think that the College would do well to consider substituting for Easter'vacation a holiday that would exactly divide the period between Christmas vacation and Commencement. This would fall in the latter part of March and I should think most students would jirefei it to a vacation in mid •>■ iate April. ' . - A great many other institutions have already adopted the plan and we might do well to consider it. - Strangely enough, now we women. Lend them an eai l OUR SADDLE OXFORD ERA it apparently here to stay This is not written with any hope of per suading you women to leave off wearing your saddle *hoes, though voui gym shoes may be cleaner and would look as well. No, you’re too 'far along o’i the back-on-the heel comfort to mind the obliga tions you owe us men to look like something other than the camp •fiie girls on a wiener roast One of the Collegian staff ic cently blasted the “high-heeled imports,” but, honest, if some of us lads are pietty fed up on a weekly diet of coeds in rainy-day playground getups, maybe it s worth something to lean the tired eye down a stocking seam that doesn't cut off brutally like an amputation And what those saddle shoes do to you posture-spavined mares’ If you must mouse aiound on the Lones of your ankles, try to trade that slouch of a shufflmg Mose for a stride with a'little roll onto ’er, and a heads up illusion of reallv going somewhere. There’s only one right way to walk in low heels You've got to adopt about 25 percent of a drum major’s strut The knees must bend, that’s a leal joint you have there The toes don’t have to point up like a clown act, and if you could get a little heel-to-toe shift of weight m the stride, you would not look like divers oozing along a deep sea bottom in leaden shoes Please, if you gotta wear ’em, act as if you meant it It has been done There was a girl graduated last year, Betty Long, who knew how. And the daik-haired gul who goes with the blond wrestlei (Frances Zufall, a phys-edder) knows how to walk in saddle ox fords But they don’t come often See what you can do. time to act even though it be only foi 1941 The College has already approved its 1940-41 calendar But it is not_too late to make a change. Sincerely,' '4l Student To the Editor Fenn State Collegian We* have .jus, finished reading an article in the current issue en titled “Beware, Co Eds! That Woman's Here Again” by a cer tain .Junior co-ed and we feel that the time has come when the co-eds should be told the real reason why more of them are not asked to houseparty Can it be that our deal htt’e co-eds with their ego inflated by an unfortunate 5 to 1 ratio, fin# that they cannot “hold a candle” tc the girl from home visiting but twice a year’ Can it be that they arc so vain as to think that no othei girls could possibly be as mce as they think they aie’ Competition is said to be one of the most stimulating factors in self-improvement Do our catty co-eds wish us to believe that there -s no room for improvement?
