Wednesday, September 24, 1913 Penn State has for some time enjoyed a Government system of student government, and the system which has been developed here, seems to have reached a high degree of efficiency. Naturally all college men here are familiar with the student council, which is the Now that definite plans have been made for enlarging and im proving educational tacilities at Penn State, a re-statement of the latest legislative appropriation and of other resources of the college a high "executive committee" of I may be of interest. "representative assembly" of the classes, and with the student board, which may be considered as the council, created_ to , make for convenience in handling affairs. These two bodies, although with periodically changing membership, have served the student body well for years in "shaping legislation", that is bringing matters to the stu dent body for consideration. The latest change in our govern ment has been the creation of the new student tribunal, composed of three seniors, four ' juniors and five sophomores, elected by the council and directly responsible to that body. There seems to be a more or less general misunderstanding of the functions of this tribunal. It has been called a "hazing commit tee", but this term seems hardly an accurate one. For while the tri- bunal does look into cases concern ing the infringement of college cus- torn, and may prescribe penalties, it by no means advocates or takes part in hazing. It is still the duty of sophomores to watch for offend- ers, and to report serious infringe- The fact that the upper classes are represented makes the tribunal one of sufficient power and dignity to deal adequately with violations of college rules. Other important functions are the compiling and publishing of a list of college cus- toms, and the interpretation of these customs whenever any ques- tions arise. It was in accordance with the latter power that the tri- bunal has interpreted resolutions, passed by the student council on May 26, 1913, to mean that except on poster night, all forms of indis criminate hazing have been abolish ed. The intense inl Remember terest shown to the Sidelines ward this year's football season is evidenced by the crowd of students who attend practice each afternoon. Such interest, however, may be come a detriment rather than an en couragement when a hundred or so of interested spectators crowd in so close to a scrimmage as to interfere with the plays or even to hinder the coaches. It would seem that the sidelines provide an excellent viewpoint. Every year it seems necessary to make this ancient re minder.

COLLEGE FINANCES A Re•statement of Federal and State Appropriations The School of Agriculture re ceives from the state for mainte nance the sum of $275,000, all other schools receive $530,000. For the erection, equipment and en largement of buildings, $375,000 has been appropriated, and for the construction of a sewage disposal plant, $20,000 is at hand. More over, $20,000 will be used in furth ering agricultural extension, and $6,000 in making special agricultur al experiments on tobacco growing. The entire sum received from the commonwealth amounts to $1,226,- 000, to be used for two years. The federal government provides the college . with $llO,OOO each year, divided as follows by the Morrill and Nelson Act, $50,000; by the Hatch Act, $15,000; by the Adams Act, $15,000; and from in terest on bonds, $30,000. The final item of the college income is $lO2O, interest on bonds from sale of land. Thus the college will have at its disposal during the next two years almost a million and a half. New English Course The Department of English wish es to call the attention of students to a new elective course scheduled as "Public Speaking 15", which was added to their list too late to be included in this year's college bulletin. The course is known as "Dramatic Expression" and will be devoted to the practical side of the drama, very little theory being studied. Several plays will be read and rehearsed during the term, and, if possible, one will be produced at the end of the semester. The hours for Public Speaking 'l5 will be Monday and 'lhursday evenings at 7:00 p. m., in room 286 Main—the four hours practicum counting as two credit hours. The course will be given by Mr. Arthur Deer ing. THE PENN: STATE COLLEGIAN Distinctively Individual To turn out high grade laundry work is a fine art.

The annual reception to new men was held last Saturday evening under the auspices of the Y. M. CI A. The event took place on the veranda of the Woman's Building and on the lawn in front, which was temporarily lighted with electricity. Though the weather was very threatening. the attendance was large, about fifteen hundred being present, and an enjoyable evening was spent by all. Musical selections were supplied by the glee club and band, and "Dick" Harlow 'l2 made an appro priate speech. Old and new men seemed to be making the most of the occasion in becoming acquaint ed, and congeniality prevailed. President Sparks, Dean Holmes and many faculty members were present to extend a hearty welcome to new students. Dr. Holmes' Trip Dean Holmes and family took an interesting European trip last year, their route including the British Isles, France, Germany, Switzer land, Austria and Italy.
