MILITARY COMPANY AT STATE COLLEGE.
The action taken by the men of State College last Friday morn-
ing, when a committee was appointed which is to take steps
leading to the establishment of a military company here, is in
keeping with their standing as college men, Records show that
college men have always been among the first to respond to the
President's call in time of need. For inst is known that
over twenty-three hundred University men took
part in the civil war. Again to-day, as anoth
threatening the peace and safety of our country, the college men
are making the most determined demand for universal military
training, ‘The men in all the univei great and small, have
drawn a valuable lesson from the great war in Europe. ‘They
are willing to sacrifice their lives for their flag, demanding at the
same time, however, that they be not usclessly slaughtered by
unpreparedness. ‘They ask for the protection which training and
the guidance by trained officers give, If ever they will have to
fight they will have to fight a trained enemy. They have a right
to expect enough training before the battle to make the odds
even, man for man, when the fight begins.
College men are expecting Congress to act. ‘They are expect-
ing Congress to pass an act providing for universal military
ig. In the meantime, however, many colleges are taking
the initiative, in that there are being formed among the students
military companies, designed to train them for active serv
‘The men of State College are proud of the part they are taking
in this movement. ‘They are grateful for the chatice that has
heen promised them, which will enable them to do their bit if
the need arises. They hope for peace, but if jt is to be war they
will go in a body and fight as did the men who left this institu-
tion « half century ago for southern battlefields,
Editor, State College News:
There are many things for which the student body of a college
is responsible. Its good sportsmanship often forms the basis for
judgment from outsiders, Is it not poor sportsmanship for the
students to applaud at a basketball game when the opposing team
fails to score a foul? At the game with Hobart the poor spirit
of several S. C. T. students led them to cheer when a Hobart
n was called out. ‘The student hody as a whole undoubtedly
pproves of such a demonstration, “We hope that, during the
coming haseball season, the general spirit of good sportsmanship
will prevent anys m cheering at the hard luck of our
opponents,
