At its last regular meeting the faculty gave its sanction to the adoption of the Honor System at 0 Penn State. After a long discus sion it was passed by the student body several weeks ago. The " honor system went into effect on - Monday and hereafter will be ap plicable to all written quizzes and Only a few matters of adminstra tions were doubtful in the minds of the faculty, .but these matters will rest entirely with the student body through the Student Board. Al • though a few unimportant gram matical changes in the wording are yet to be made by the Board, there was no opposition whatever to any of the fundamental principles of the honor system. • The attitude of the faculty was strongly in favor of the proposed system and the vast majority were anxious to give it a, fair trial at Penn State. With the honor system a reality, 0 Penn State can now boast of a real student self goverment.

But Three Defeats in Five Years. When Captain "Levi” Lamb pin ned the shoulders of the Pitt heavy weight to the mat in the Armory, a short time since, he completed a very successful season of wrestling for State. Few realize just how wonderfully this sport has grown here. Although wrestling was in augurated at State in 1902, when it was substituted for a class rush not until 1910 did a team represent State against another school. That first year, Penn was defeated by a 7-0 score, and the only other meet lost was to the Navy, 4 1-2 to 2 1-2. The very next year State maintained a clean record while disposing of such teams as Yale, Cornell, Colum bia, and Lehigh. In 1912 State lost to Cornell upon rolling falls but defeated Yale, Lehigh, and Penn twice. In the next year five vic tories were added from five meets with McGill University, Toronto, Canadian champions; Cornell, Inter collegiate Champions, Indiana, and Lehigh. Last season a like en viable record was established when Navy, Pittsburg, Lehigh, Indiana, and Lafayette were met without a single defeat. The third defeat in five years came in the first meet of the past season, and the distinction again goes to the Navy wrestlers. Their 19-10 victory was earned but we think the remark .is warranted that we should have liked to have seen a return match later in the season. Next Penn was met in the Armory and defeated by a 20-11 score. Then the team journeyed again, this time to Lehigh where they won a 19-11 victory. The next meet was Columbia upon the home floor and despite Columbia’s purely de fensive tactics. State was an easy winner 25-6. The final meet of the season was with Pitt. For the second time in two years Pitt lost all seven bouts. Our men were very fortunate as to injuries this year; the same team, Long, Brown, Kirk, Pickett, Yerger, Stecker, and Lamb, wrestled every meet with one exception: Hill wrestled the 145 pound class at Lehigh. Notwithstanding the marked success, not a single varsity letter will "be given. To earn the straight S, a wrestler must win every bout of the season and no one has filled the requirement this year. Junior Prom Question Settled At the 1916 class meeting the matter of a junior prom was settled. It is the idea of the committee to reorganize the method of conduct ing the prom whereby a general assessment may be eliminated and requiring each junior and senior at tending to pay a reasonable amount for the dance. With this policy in view the class adopted the sugges tion of the committee to levy a gen eral assessment of $1.50 on all jun iors and $1 on seniors attending the dance. The juniors attending the dance are to pay $3.50 extra. Girls Will Give
