"Collegian" the seniors on the present editorial staff step from office and the other men on the staff enter upon theh : greater duties. One junior and two sopho mores will soon be elected to the board and sh9rtly after the Easter vacation has passed there will be a call for freshman candidates. The present staff has'tried, and we hope! has succeded, in keeping the "Col ',',,legian" at the same high standard which has characterized its exist ence for, a number of years past. We have attempted several innova tions, which, although they may have been criticised at first, have proved their feasibility. The first of these was to change the form of the college paper, from that resem bling a magazine or .booklet to that 'of an up-to-date college weekly publication, which compares very favorably with other college Publi- Cations. At the same time the amount of reading ,matter was in creased by one-half. This necessi tated more work and greater ex pense,,but it was essential that the ' college paper keep pace with the growth of the college along' other lines, and it was with this end in view that the change was made. Of course we have been criticised I and rightly so, but the troubles of editors are great, especially those of the editors of a college paper, We have done our best to please all and if there is one whom we have offended either by omission, corn- Missi:in or otherwise we humbly ask his pardon. We , have made mistakes, but as a result of our little experience we are able to doubly appreciate the fact that per- feet mortals are nonentities. In short, we have enjoyed our work and we hope that you have enjoy ed the results of our labors Froth, Froth, Before our Easter vacation begins the next issue of the college humorous publication will appear. Although the sale of "Froth" heretofore has been fair, there is still a great num ber of fellows who do not purchase it. The expense of publishing 'Froth" is very great, and inasmuch as the standard of the paper is ex ceptionally high and the pike very cheap as compared with'other, col lege humorous editions, it is exceed- ingly urgent that every man, vho can possibly aftoid it, purchase the next edition which' is better than eve' and which will appear very shortly. Let us do out best, fellows, to make the publication of "Froth" a permanent feature of our college activities Intercollegiate Wrestling Athletic Director Golden, upon returning, from the Intercollegiate Wrestling , Association meeting held at Princeton, reports faiorably on our chances of being admitted to that organization. The committee representing the I. W. A. consisted of the four captains and the four managers of Colunibia, Cornell, Pennsylvania and Princeton: As was expected several arguments were advanced against, Penn State. In the first place the question of pro fessionalism in baseball came up. "Pop" Golden mentioned that this same argument came up last year when we applied for admission to the I. C. A. A. A. A. He said that Penn State was fair and square in the matter, that they did their work in the open while several of the other colleges were dishonest in the mat ter. The next question had to deal with the location of Penn State. Our representative had little dffi culty 'in convincing the I. C. W. committee that it is as easy for Princeton, Penn, and Columbia to reach State College as it is for them to reach Ithaca. Then the standing of the men in college was mentioned. The mem bers of the committee were sur prised to hear that no Penn State man is allowed to participate in any intercollegiate athletic event unless he has the equivalent of a freshman standing and further that he 'is re quired to have a five per cent. high er grade than a student who is not directly connected with athletics. They were also informed that every man before taking a trip must pre sent a slip to each of his instructors and have it signed above. or below grades as the case "may be. If be low grade the student is barred from the trip. Next came the matter of expense. The committee was assured that Penn State would pay enough money to defray the actual expense of any team, coming here. The fifth and final argument against' admitting us was 'that the association should confine themselves to the members now in on account of the time element, as they were unable to finish this year's intercollegiate meet in one evening. However a certain member of the committee said it was time that they mak6 this a real intercollegiate association and that they should not confine it to a select few. After all of the above arguments had been thoroughly discussed, a Columbia man made a motion that the Pennsylvania State College be admitted, into the Intercollegiate Wrestling Association. Every man present was strongly in favor of our admission, but the Penn and Cornell men had come with instructions to vote against'us and could, therefore, make no deoisive vote in our favor until they saw their advisors. Stewart, Pennsylvania's captain and Norton, Columbia's manager, brought out a very strong point in favor of State when they mentioned that the courtesy shown them while at State College was better than they had received at any other college. Shortly before the meeting ad journed Director Golden asked, "Is it the concensus of opinion that Penn State will be accepted as a member of this association?" In answer to this question "Pop" received an affirma tive reply from every man, so it is very probable that Penn State will be admitted into the I. W. A. this coming week. Dur:tig the Easter vacation, the planting of catalpa and locust on the new farm will be thoroly pruned, and incidentally a test will be made pruning sheari,. and other in struments used in pruning forest u ees.
