President Sparks has announced registration statistics for the present year of The Pennsylvania State College. The total attendance of students is 2,949, of whom 1,904 are in the four year courses; 563 in the Summer Session for Teachers and 426 are special or “short course” students. The total num ber has increased nearly 500 during the year notwithstanding the lim itation of 600 placed upon the freshman class last September. The number of students has doubled in five years and quadrupl ed in ten years. The college is this year the largest institution on a col legiate basis in the United States. Every county in the state is represented in the student body, Allegheny leading with 227, and Philadelphia coming second with 220. Center, Luzerne and Dauphin rank next, each having over 100 students; York, Blair Lackawana and Westmoreland follow in order. Of the 2,949 students, only 268 reside outside the State of Pennsyl vania. New York and New Jersey supply most of these, but other states as well as China, Peru, Porto Rico and Turkey are represented. These statistics include only students actually in residence at the college. In the correspondence courses in Agriculture and Domes tic Science over 4,000 are enrolled. The Extension Schools at Pitts burgh, Altoona, Bellwood, Harris burg, West Philadelphia and Wilmington enroll 338 students, mostly apprentices. Prevocational schools at other points in the state have 73 -students, while vocational night schools in Philadelphia, Al lentown, Pottstown, Chester, Sun bury, Tyrone, Erie, Pittsburgh, Johnstown, and Conellsville under the Extension division accom modate 536 students. Junior Class Actions As a result of action taken by the junior class on Tuesday even ing, March 3, freshman are here after forbidden the use of the main entrance of Main Building at all times throughout the college year. In order that this custom may be effective, it is urged that the soph omore and upper classes give their support and that the freshmen show their willingness to observe it. Another matter which is of im portance and which will be acted upon at the next meeting of the junior class is that the junior piom committee be limited to an expend iture of $lOOO. This question mer ts the serious consideration of every man whom it affects, and it seems almost unnecessary to urge that a large representation of the class should be present at the time of its disposal. The members of the junior prom committee were announced and are as follows: Gleason, Chairman; W. Weaver, Fraleigh, Mikaloff, R. E. Rankin, Liebensberger, McCon eghy, C. F. Kennedy,. By a unanimous vote Professor J. M. Willard was chosen as dedicatee of the 1915 La Vie. A movement has been started for the establishment of a national university in Washington D. C. Indoor Track McAllister Hall continues to be the attraction for track men. Every afternoon the track and jumping pits are taxed to the limit and results are beginning to appear. Palmer T 6 is jumping consistently over 21 feet 5 inches and should easily do 22 feet outdoors. Harold T 6 has improved to such an extent that Coach Martin will send him after the McAllister mile record this afternoon. He is strong and has grit enough to develop into a four-thirty man this spring. Humble T 7 gives promise of beating every quarter miler in col lege while Page T 7 in the sprints and Farland T 7 in the half mile are fast rounding into condition. Relays will be held every Satur day afternoon until the outdoor season commences. Next Satur day Main will run McAllister Hall and the dormitories will compete against the students boarding in town. The training table for the Penn relays has been started. Hammitt and Lamb will enter the special events and the other men have been divided into 440 men and milers. The two mile relay will be picked from the two classes men tioned. The first trials will be held April first and will continue weekly until the few days prior to the meet. The quarter milers on the table are Mason T 6, White T 6, Leyden T 4, Brown T 6, Hornich T 7, Hum ble T 7, Piner T 5, Barron T 5, Lewis T 7, Dolbin T 6, and Trainor T 7. The mile runners are Keyser T 4, Schroeder T 6, Staiger T 6, Henning T 5, Entwisle 'l6, Harold T 6, Gar land T 7, Hunter T 7, Lewis T 4, Horst T 4. Prohibition League Activities, The Penn State Prohibition League, which is an auxiliary of the Intercollegiate Prohibition Asso ciation with state and national organization, is a live factor in this college. This year a study class in the liquor problem has been con ducted by Chaplain Reed. The class numbers about 35 and meets on alternate Monday evenings with the Agricultural Society at 7 o’clock in Room K of the Library. A newspaper campaign is in prog ress in which the members of the class write articles for the newspapers on the liquor question. Eleven men are preparing orations to be given at a local oratorical contest on March 12. This contest will be open to the public and will be held in Old Chapel at 7 o’clock. The winner of this contest later speaks at the State contest. Some deputation work is being planned in which members of the study class will speak on the liquor prob lem at meetings held in other com munities. The work in all these activities is purely educational. The meetings are always open to visitors. This year the Pennsylvania In tercollegiate Prohibition Associa tion will hold its annual contest here on April 4 and 5. At that time Dan A. Poling will be here to speak Dan Poling is a college man from the Northwest who is much inter ested in this movement. He is one of the best known temperance speakers in this county.
