Save The Woods The College has staked out a portion of Hort Woods which is 'Scheduled soon to fall under the blows of a crew of - akriien. Thus, trees and vegetation which have stood for many years, longer than the oldest buildings on campus, are to be destroyed. THE AREA to be cleared is to serve as addi tional parking space for the heavy stream of campus automobiles. Considering both College traffic and building demands, this action may well be only the first in a series of moves which could readily lay low the entire woods. Hort Woods is tl•e last remaining area of natural growth on campus. In the quiet way of all nature, it has contributed much to the College life. Students of botany and other natural sciences use HOrt Woods as an outdoor laboratory, for low-lying growth beneath its old trees has long attracted Migrant birds and the plants in them selves are a source of much study material. THE NEW parking area west of Beaver Field beside Nittany Lion Inn stands as an example of what will result from the leveling of any part or of all of Hort Woods. Last spring that area was a small woods, not unlike Hort Woods, which lent much in beauty to the surrounding land. Today, it is a bare plot of asphalt. Hort Woods is a valuable College property which should not be altered without a great deal of thought on the consequences of such a change. The campus parking problem is, indeed, in need of an immediate solution. But it would be hard lo call it progress to sacrifice a portion of the last campus habitat of real nature in the name of bigger and better parking lots. Alumni Help Announcement of planned alumni support for the Student Union building should help smooth over some of the bitter feeling aroused by the student assessment approved last spring. It should indicate to the student body that they alone will not bear the full cost of the building. ONE OF the major gripes concerning the Student Union has been the fear that all funds would come from students and that no one else would contribute. Partly to allay this fear, All- College cabinet last spring gave the student Student Union committee the power to investi gate further methods of financing the building. The surprising element is that the proposal to seek alumni support came not from the com mittee but from three individual members of cabinet, which then authorized All-College President Robert Davis to broach the matter to alumni officials. A report of the Student Union committee also was submitted at the cabinet meeting, but the real essence of the statement was that the committee had little to report. One might suggest, that, now that part of ifs work has been done by others, the com mittee• get on its toes and come up with some suggestions itself. One also might comment on the quick ac ceptance of part of the burden by alumni, who have set an example for the future by their readiness to contribute toward a project from which they will obtain no large material benefit.

Landon Business Mgr. —John Ashbrook THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Well Spent Class A professor in the physical science •depart ment occupied a lecture period recently by playing the record, "Mr. Atom," to his' class. THIS SONG tells in haunting words the story of the atomic bomb, and begins with the whistle of a bomb, and then a tremendous explosion. A narrator tells in harsh words how the devas tating force was spiting upon the World. and how the world must now live in peace. or in piece's. The record ends, "We hold these truths self-evident, that all men can be cremated equal." . . Because in a subtle way it is a warning to the Western world, the record has been branded as Communist propaganda, and banned by several large radio stations. The professor told his class since they were college students, and potential leaders in the world they should consider the words of the song earnestly, and decide for themselves whether it is communistic. Although the record may not have pertained completely to physics, it caused the clasS to think, and was a class period well spent Unsigned Letters Collegian again has received a number of un signed letters to the editor which the writers apparently hoped would be published. In view of the fact, it might be well to point out again, for the sake of those who derive pleasure from letter-writing ,and those who , care to express their views in the Safety Valve column; the standard policy of Collegian and other news papers toward unsigned letters.. IF REQUESTED by the writer, his name will be withheld from publication. However, Col legian insists, for the information of the letters, that writers include their names. At times ques tionable material is submitted and with the name of the writer it is possible to make con firmation. Publication of letters depends upon good taste and good writing. Brief letters are pre feted, and Collegian reserves the right to condense lengthy letters. Gazette ... Meetings of campus organizations will be announced in this column throughout the_s emeste r.

Cravat Condition We have just been made aware of one of the most shocking, the most disgraceful, the most shameful facts of masculine life in this great skirtocracy. 0, how manhood is gone out of man, how the mighty have fallen. For incredible as it may seem, it is a documented truth that women buy 85 percent of the ties produced in the United States today. We have given them enough rope, and they've made a cravat out of it. WHAT HAS become of the sex which for five thousand years con trolled the destiny o the hopes and the dirty politics, of the world, that it has so meekly ceded its sovereignty to • these upstarts, these radicals, these tie-buyers, these . . . women? Where is the splendor that was wife-beating Rome, the glory of the Indian majestically mounted on his mule as his wife trudged a dutiful six paces behind with the groceries? What has become of the progres sive movement so successfully initiated by our Mormon bro thers? And what of the sturdy 15 per cent of men who, resisting all en croachments of the infamous New Woman, hold back the tide of femininity, man the battlements •of maleness, bravely and coura geously venture out into the stores and buy their own ties? Are they to be left, pitifully • Penn State baseball teams once had a winning streak of 30 consecutive games. Ten of them were at the end of the 1920 season and 20 at the beginning of the 1921 season. One of them was an 18 to 0 victory over Carnegie Tech, coached by Honus Wagner, Pitts burgh Pirate great. Listed as a utility outfielder with the Penn State squad was one F. J.

Located in the southern district of Allegheny Na tional forest, Blue Jay is a former CCC camp operated under a "free use" permit granted by the U. S. Forest Service.

Will the daily until it is too late, always saying, "Well, maybe next time I'll buy my own tie?" The time is now, the battle is joined, almost hourly, some where in this land, another hap less male yields to his bride's crafty wheedlings and allows her to get him a lie "just this once." The ranks of the 15 per cent are being whittled down, the war of attrition is being _ successfully prosecuted by the enemy. The tragic fact is that the grave Cravat Condition is but a straw in the hurricane of female war fare.
