I-'AGE TWO Editorials Never Again This Outrage! The Class of 1940 presented as a gift to the College a statue of the Nittany Lion by Heinz Warneke, an American sculptor of note. This imposing figure in its land scaped setting to the right of Recreation Hall cost several thousand dollars. It has been called by experts an outstanding work of art, of which the College has been justifiably proud. These values of money and artistic worth, however, are dwarfed by another value of the Lion —one which cannot be measured in terms of cash or art. The Lion Shrine has come to be a; tangible, living expression of the spirit and tradition of the College. Apart from' the beauty of the sculpture it is the honored symbol of this school and in the three short years it has graced the campus it has oc cupied a place equal in traditional value to Old Main in the affection of the students and alumni. Saturday night was dark and overcast. It suited the purpose of the stupid vandals who smeared crude blobs of black paint on the sculptured lines of the Lion Shrine. They painted its head and tail a filthy black; they slopped their paint about the statue; they finished the job by painting the degrading title “Hep Cat” in foot-high letters on its side. p. Every effort is being made to find the persons whose defacing of the Lion is as vicious and senseless a crime as has ever been committed on this campus.

Ther is little left for the students to do —this time. X'* However the student body by its own initiative can do a lot to preventjand dis courage a possible repetition of thisoutrage. The proper body to take such action is the All-College Cabinet. Collegian suggests that Cabinet raise a fund through voluntary contributions by student organizations to offer and per petuate a standing reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any person defacing v the Lion Shrine in any manner. Collegian will contribute to such a fund. 4tv.‘ •* = A sign should be placed near the statue stating the amount of the reward and list ing the penalties provided by law for the destruction of private property. .This measure may do. much to change the mind of any potential.future vandals. While the Collegian can not suggest or condone violence in any form, it would not be surprised to learn of a person found tampering with the Shrine delivered to .the Campus Patrol in a slightly battered con dition due to the inevitable scuffle., ■ It is impossible to predict what meas ures will be taken, to protect the Lion Shrine but one thing is . certain—the students of Penn‘State will'not suffer the'-mutilation ' v -.v ' r of their symbol, regardless of circum stances. - —BJC Calendar THE COLLEGIAN' Tuesday ■ Women’s Rifle Club Organiza tion Meeting, 2 White' Hall, 7:30 p.m. ~ - ■- Collegian meeting for all fresh men' candidates, 8 Carnegie Hall, 7:3oXp.m!' r ';- .. .
