May S, 1915 The question of at- tendance at the class The Roll scraps is rapidly be- coming a big problem. At the present rate of decrease, the class scrap will s ion die from lack of interest. Unquestionably one cause is the unequal conditions which prevail. Very apparently the task of the sophomores in the flag scrap is much harder than that of the fieshrnen. They are to be congratulated for not throwing flour when money is so scarce as it is at present. The Student Board on the other hand is to be equally con gratulated for placing a ban on the former practice of soot throwing. No matter what the opinion of the sophomores was in regard to new rules, however, it was their duty ro be present on Saturday as veil as it was the duty of every freshman. It was not very very long ago when the absence of an underclass man from a scrap meant that he was branded as a quitter and frequently found his way into a cold tub of water. The i ties are so modified now that pbj deal in- jury is impossible and ..there is absolutely no excuse for any man staying out. It is just as necessary for a man to be in that scrap as it is for a freshman to wear a grt en cap. The question of the right or wrong of the matter is not to be argued. When a man entered State he ac cepted these conditions and if he does not like them he cau leave. The class roll can be obtaini d from the Registrar’s office and b/ divid- ing it into five parts no m re than 10 minutes would be cons'.med in finding the absentees. Eil Her this must be done or else the scraps must be abolished. They were not instituted for one third of each class. The Collegian recommends that the freshmen go on record this year as being in favor of the roll call for all scraps next > ear. The constitution o! Proposed the proposed Inter- Legislation class Sports council, which was p. esented at the last mass meeting and is printed in this issue of the Col legian, will if passed, fili a long felt need at Penn State. Co-oper ative buying without a salary for the buyer is certain to bring re duced costs. Once passed num erous improvements might be add sn from time to time. The ques tion of officials for instance might be considered by such a council. Some rule to the effect that officials for an interclass contest should be in the hands of the secretary one week before the con test would do away with the chaotic condition which prevailed on Saturday at the interclass meet when officials were appointed by the wholesale just before the events were started. The Collegian Congratulations believes in ex tending credit where credit is due and for this reason extends its congratulations to the band and its leader for the splendid concert rendered last Sun day afternoon. Both the choice of pieces and the rendition of them merit praise and the brilliant suc cess predicted for the band under a resident director seems to be nearing realization. Fraternities on the Track Twenty-four fraternities compet ed last Saturday in the trials for the annual interfraternity half mile re lay. The trials were run off in three heats, eight teams being entered in each heat. The Sigma Nu fraternity won the fastest heat by a close margin. Summary: First heat —Sigma Nu, first; Phi Kappa Psi, second; Phi Kappa Sig ma, third. Time, 1:40 4-5. | Second heat —Phi Delta Theta, first; Phi Gamma Delta, second; Delta Upsilon, third. Time, 1:43 4-5. Third heat —Sigma Epsi lon, first; Sigma Pi, second; Beta Theta Pi, third. Time, 1:43 35. The first three fraternities to finish in each heat are qualified for the finals which will be held on May 15 after the interscholastic track meet. Band Concert a Great Success The College band gave its third concert of the year, Sunday after noon last on the terrace in front of Main Building. A large and very appreciative crowd attended, by far, the most enjoyable concert of the year. The program as rendered was, Penn State March 1915; Morning Noon and Night in Vienna; Echoes from the Metropolitan Opera House; Double Sextette from Lucia; Venetian Suite, Dawn, Gondolier Song, Venitian Love Song, Goodnight; American Sketch, Swanee River and The Star Span gled Banner, Buchman Joins Flying Squadron. F. N. D. Buchman, secretary of the college Y. M. C. A., will sail from New York July 6th, bound for the war zone. Mr. Buchman is go ing at the special request of John R. Mott. He will spend the entire summer at the front where he will come in direct contact with the men who are on the firing line, and also with the injured in the hos pitals. Flying Squadrons of six men each are organized, the mem bers of which go from place to place along the front and minister to the spiritual needs of the men, as well as adding to the physical comfort of the wounded.
