DEAN JACKSON NEW
LABOR COMMISSIONER
Head of Engineering School to
Direct Newly Created State
Dean John Price Jackson, of the
School of Engineering has accepted
an appointment by Governor Tener
to the position of Labor Commis
sioner of Pennsylvania. He will be
at the head of a new department,
recently created by law, which will
have the enormous responsibility of
supervison of labor conditions as to
safety, health and the like, includ
ing a far reaching system of fac
tory inspection. In all probability
the department will consist of at
least one hundred and fifty men.
Dean Jackson's term of office pre
scribed by law is four years, and
his salary at $B,OOO per year.
Governor Tener is to be com
mended for his choice, and for the
fact that his appointment was
made, not for political reasons, but
because of Dean Jackson's qualifi
cations for the position. More
over, the college is greatly honored.
Dean Jackson has been granted a
leave of absence from his duties
here, but will maintain an advisory
relationship with the School of Engi
neering. The administration of his
school will be divided in the fol
lowing way: finance and faculty,
Prof. Walker; registration, course
of study, and student standing,
Prof. Kinsloe; experiments and
publications, Prof. Moyer; business
interests, Prof. Diemer.
Varsity Tennis
Our varsity tennis team received
its second defeat at the hands of
Pitt last week, losing all the
matches.
This was the closing event of a
fairly successful season, the remain
ing tournaments, with the exception
of that with Penn, having been won
by the varsity.
Material for the team was hardly
abundant, but those taking part
deserve much credit for their show
ing. The men who made regular
places on the team are Irish 'l3,
Patterson 'l3, Flay 'l5, Jones 'l5,
Harris 'l3, Nevin 'l6, and Smed
ley 'l6.
Middle States' late rcollegiates
At the annual meeting of the
Middle States Track Conference,
held at the time of the recent mid
dle states intercollegiate meet at
Lafayette College, Penn State Gras
effectively barred from entering the
conference. This was brought
about by a rule passed providing
for the exclusion of all institutions
with student bodies numbering
more than a thousand. A little in
consistency may be noted here,
when it is remembered that New
York University, which is a mem
ber of the conference, has a student
enrollment of over three thousand.
The Next Thespian Show
It is customary in, all large col
leges and universities for indivi
dual students to write the plays,
music and lyrics for the dramatic
organization. To start the spirit at
Penn State the Thespian organi
zation offers the privilege of
membership to the student writing
the show for the coming year, and
suggests that the musicians and
authors begin work during the sum
mer and present their music and
lyric in the fall.
All will be glad to know that, if
his health permits, General Beaver
will attend the regimental parade
on Beaver Field Saturday. This
will be his first appearance at the
college for some time, and Penn
State men would appreciate an op
portunity to give him a hearty wel
come.
All students are requested to re
turn library books on or before
June 5.
BY THE WAY
Track House men take notice:
one hundred Cornell athletes on
the training table at Ithaca "get
away with" the following amounts
of food staples daily; eighty quarts
of milk, thirty dozen of eggs, a
hundred loaves of bread, two bush
els of potatoes and twenty five
pounds of prunes,
A recent issue of the Syracuse
Daily Orange was delivered to city
subscribers by a number of Co-eds,
apparently with great success.
During a recent Cornell-Syracuse
controversy as to athletic relations,
the statement was made by Cornell
that as Syracuse was not considered
a fit opponent athletically and
scholastically for the Red team, the
thought of a football game be
tween the two institutions was an
absurdity.
College Tribunal
At a recent meeting of the stu
dent body, a series of resolutions
were passed by an overwhelming
majority, by which the establish
ment of a tribunal was assured, that
is to have charge of all cases
involving the infringement of col
lege customs.
The tribunal is to be subservient
to the Student Council, and all its
actions must be countenanced by
the Student Council. The body
consists of three seniors, four jun
iors and five sophomores. A sen
ior member of the organization will
act as chairman.
This body will judge all cases of
hazing' and it will pass upon the in
fringement of college customs by
freshmen and sophomores. This
body will also impose punishment
for the violation of such customs
and precedents. It will be the
privilege of the tribunal to interpret
all the laws, written and unwritten,
which by custom and tradition
govern the student body.
With the creation of such a body
as this, the students of the Penn
sylvania State Callege, have clearly
evidenced their foresight, their
sense of justice, and their progres
sive spirit. Not alone will justice
be meted out to everyone, but our
traditions will be maintained in
peace and order.
In the establishment of such
is tribunal Penn State has followed
the precedent maintained by many
of our grert institutions today. As
n the University of Wisconsin, our
rules will be enforced, our customs
observed, the freshmen will be
made to know their place, and yet
with all this, justice and courtesy
will predominate throughout our
college life.
The student body and the origin
ators and the promoters of this
admirable project must be con
gratulated. This, with many other
resolutions and reforms of the year,
has marked it as the acme of pro
giessiveness—not progressiveness
ahead of the times—but progressive
ness which keeps pace with the
times, and which takes the future
into consideration.
Thespians Tuesday
"The Yankee Brigands", to be
presented in the Auditorium Tues
day night, perfected by the ex
perience of a long trip, and by
routine rehearsal, is sure to be a
great success. Thespian shows
have built up a reputation which
this year's production has no dif
ficulty in maintaining, as to music,
comedy, characters, scene and plot.
The Thespians can be sure of a
crowded house on Tuesday evening.
This year's senior class will
graduate 293 members, 28 more
than in 1912. Of their number the
school of engineering furnishes 133,
agriculture 98, natural science 20,
liberal arts 12, home economics 4.

port—du.ing our first year with a
