LOCATING THE SHRINE
'I HE ERECTION OF A’LION SHRINE
nn Him campus seems to be a certainty Rut,
wcere will it be erected?
Approximately two weeks ago an over
w he'mmg majority of students favored the
-linne plan according to the results of a
c'iegian poll. All of the 91 per cent who
approved the erection stated that it should
lie located nn campus.
Obviously, if the lion shiine is to be used
1 cr large pep rallies, victory celebrations, or
mass meetings, it should be located on the
campus.
—"i'feseiitjjlgns indicate that it will be lm-
I ossible to construct the first conception
ol LP.e shrine—“A Nittany Lion—with an
open space nearby foi a bonfire." No de
an able location is available for such a com
bination Thus, efforts now are concentrat
et in an attempt to favorably locate the
shi mo.
Ymong the suggested locations, it seems
flat the center of the Liberal Arts quad
■■ .rtle wouU prove most favorable because
of the stadium-tikeMrrangement provided
liv the steps of the .buildings.
iileamvhile, as the discussion ovei the lo
cation becomes moie involved, the All-Col
'ege Cabinet committee continues to con
s’dei the pioiecl itseit, not forgetting that
ike oi igmal oliieetive was to uncover a suit
able localipn foi the overflow of “college
spirit ” (
POST ELECTION THOUGHT
A NEIV HIGH in political activity and
interest m freshman elections has been at
tained this yeai. Never befoie has a con
test for fust-year offices received such a
build-up.
The Collegian heartily welcomes this do
\ e'opment, and lias done its best to encoui -
age it For the Collegian believes that ev
eiy undergiaduate should maintain an ac
tive intei est in his student government
A democratic student government needs
the active support and criticism of all its
“citizens” lust as badly as does any demo
cratic government. Lack of interest and
public apathy inevitably leads to machine
conlrlol bv minorities
PRE-CHRISTMAS CHARITY appeals
will be made for both local and foreign ben
efits this w'eek-end. The Charity Ball lo
mon ow night offers its contribution to lo
cal" lelief, while a collection to be made at
the Carol Sing Monday night will be used
loi suffering college students in war-torn
ai eas Both are equally deserving your sup
port
, BURIED PEEP m the columns of a re
cent Collegian was the following filler;
“Since inauguration of an unlimited cut
system, Williams College leports a steady
improvement in the grade averages of sen
iors ”
Hmmm 1 .Something to think about.
PORTFOLIO, its second issue “on the
street,” seems to have achieved its original
purpose of publishing to fill a need for a
college magazine. The experiment has been
successful.
Campy, the wandering bard, slings his trusty
typewriter over his shoulder and takes his
mythical readers to a mythical college—the Ag
ricultural School of the Commonwealth of
Transylvania
As soon as he enters the campus, Carripy
sees an ever-increasing queue of students, all
obviously in distress Curious, he walks along
beside the line until he comes to its destina
tion, a small led brick building 1 from which
oozes that unmistakable hosp tal odor
Showing his Collegian Press Card, Campy is
immediately ushered into the sanctum sancto
rum of that guardian of the health of the Agri
cultural, School of the Commonwealth of Tran
sylvania-—one Dr Butchsour
A student, obviously a reporter, is interview
