RE-ORGANIZATION
MUST TAKE PLACE
Record Breaking Enrollment of
New Men—Military Department
To Undergo Change.
W. 0. THOMPSON NOW
ACTING COMMANDANT
Never before in the history of Penn
State have such conditions that now
exist confronted so large a student body
as that which Is now starting out upon
Its year's work
Athletic teams are shot to pieces, the
tipper classes greatly reduced in num
ber, government has boon dlsorganixe•
and there is an air of don't-know-how
thinge-will-go all around Changes ga
lore have had to be made in the faculty
due to resignations and the leaves of
absence that have been granted. ..A
few positions are as yer unfilled The
military department Is without a regu
larly appointed government head, and
the reorganisation of this and the stu
dent government departments will offer
a chance for the development of new
leaderk at once.
- With regard to enrollment, President
Sparks entertains hopes that at least
seventymercent. o ftho membership of
ho three upper classes will be back The
registration of Freshmen by Monday
evening bad broken all previous records
for the Seat day. A total of 401 had
bean matriculated when the Wilco closed
on Monday evening. Application had
been received from over 760 by the end
of hurt week, and indications point very
favorably to a capacity enrollment of
first year - then.
The Senior class has suffered most
from the enlistments in National ser
vice. The best that can be looked for
at this time Is a 00 to 66 per cent en
rollment in this class The Junior class
is somewhat better off; and the Soph
omore% will be back In comparatively
strong numbers. Including all classes.
an enrollment of [Unmet 85 per cent of
last year's student body is expected
However, the draft and regular army
enlistments are taking more and more
mon every day, and mdny former stu
dents are not returning to college on ac
count of being very close to being draft
ed In their home districts.
"Barge" Allen Gone
The military department has lost Its
old friend. "Surge" Allen, who just re
cently left for Little Reek, Ark, rn-n
First Lieutenant in the ordnance sec
tion In the army encampment there
Major Ahrends Is needed with his regi
ment at Gettysburg and Bandmaster
W. 0. Thompson has been appointed by
President Sparks as provisional com
mandant pending the umbel of a com
mandant detailed by the government.
An attempt is being made to secure a
Canadian officer *ho has seen service In
nun& to come here and Instruct the
cadets. In this manner it is expected
that the Penn State drill squads will be
able to receive excellent training In the
methods of warfare that are being fol
lowed on the front. If title plan falls,
a retired army officer will probably be
assigned to duty here.
But the college 'anklets are willing
that the student officers take entire
charge of the drill under the supervi
sion of Bandmaster Thompson, a man
who has lived In military circles for
years. As yet a colonel has not been
appointed to load the college regiment.
Four majors were appointed last spring
and ono of these, E. W. Kruger, will not
be back, having broken a foot during
the summer The others are 9 Id Linn,
T D Richards end W It Young, all
Seniors. Linn will not return for sev
eral weeks.
No Radical Change
In Athletic Policy
A - meeting of the Alumni Advisory
Committee on Athletics was held last
Saturday In order to discuss the ath
letic situation for the year due to the
war in which this country is now in
volved. As a result, the committee de
cided that no radical changes were
necessary although recommendations
of the National Collegiate Association
for cutting down expenses and run.
ning athletics on a less elaborate scale
than In former years were approved.
The members of the committee who
were present were G. R. Meek, '9O,
chairman; C. W. Hoppenstall, '95; V.
L. Henry, 'O7; and J. L Mauthe, 'l3
'Major J. H. M. Andrews, '9B, the re
maining member of the committee, is
with the engineers at Camp Hancock,
Ga., and was unable to be present.
Due to the fact that "Dutch" Her
man, freshman football and 'varsity
basketball coach, and "Doc" Lewis,
coach of the wrestling team, have both
gone to omeers' training camps, the
coaching staff of the college Is soma
what disrupted. No arrangements
have been made as yet with reference
to filling these vacancies. The foot
ball coaches will bo Resident Coach
Harlow, Field Coach "Xen" Scott, and
Trainor Martin. "BIM Wood, 'l6, and
"Chuck" Yerger, 'lO, now an Instruc
tor In the Dairy Husbandry depart
ment, will probably oiler their services
also.
•
The chief recommendations of the
National Collegiate AssuanSloe were
that no early practice should be held:
that the eligibility rules should not be
lowered; and that no scouting should
be done In order to get a line on op•
Posing teams. All of these sugges
tions were adopted by the Penn State
athletic committee As far as is Dee•
sible; however, athletics will be con
tinued as usual.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT
FOR TRACK SEASON
Many Old Men Back, and Prep.
School Stars Insure a Strong
Freshman Squad
Despite the feet that military ear
vice has deprived Penn State of the
services of some of her best truck men
and also of some prospective cinder
path performers, Coach Martin is very
optimistic over prospects for the coming
season The Blue and White trainer Ls
particularly pleased with the material
that he is receiving in the incoming
Freshman class
Although there are not so many men
with reputations who are entering this
year. those who have arrived are all
mon who have proved their ability in
their preparatory school. Present In
dications are that they will form the
nucleons for a strong yearling track
squad and will make excelent 'varsity
material next year
. .
Among the freshman track mep are
Youkel, of Gerllllllll.olVll High School of
Philadelphia. who has a record of 2
minutes, 1-6 seconds In the halt mile.

ming, of Harrisburg Teck, who has won
the half mile at the Penn State Inter
scholastic, for the post two years, Eys
ter, also of Harrisburg Tech, who does
the hundred In 10 1-5 seconds, the 220
In 23 seconds, and has a record of 21
feet In the broad Jump, and Grubb, of
Kenneth Square, brother of H. W.
Grubb 'lO, who has a record of 22 feet,
10 inches in tho broad.
Other freshman stars nre Pringle, a
inner from Episcopal Academy, Phila
delphia; Taylor and Clark of Now Eng
land, tho former a quarter-miler and
the latter a distance man, and "Dewey"
Rogers, of Northeast Moment, Philadel
phia, the sensational colored school-boy
who has been doing the quarter In GO
seconds
For the 'varsity thin year, Coach Mar
tin will have a strong squad In spite of
the loon of name of his bent performers
The greatest lose will probably he that
of Captain Barron in the hurdles, for
the Blue and White timber topper hen
been running in great form during the
summer meta passed Other men who
will not be back are Beck, Cubbago,
Janes and Dumbly. In the weights, Shea
In the quarter, Foster In the hag,

holster In the half and mile, Kithley
and Shatter In the two mile. Runyan,
Jefferies, Way and Hatfield In the Jumps
Connell and Wolfe in the hurdles, and
Smith, Unger, Black and Rauch in the
weights, Penn State should have a very
successful nelson.
Coach Martin is planning to begin
cross country training at onco and sev
eral meets will be schodued for this fall.
Tho War Department bus requested all
colleges to oncourage cross country
running because it has been found to be
excellent training for military service.

Student Body Is
Without Leaders
With the president, vice-president and

coming back to college, there is reason
for quick action on tho part of the two
upper classes, particularly the Senior

Of the 1918 chem.:President George
Wright. Vice-president A. 98 Coon, and
Secretary iv N. Given, have all received
commissions In the army and are now
In active service. S Af Linn, the treas

and ho will not return from the West
for one or two weeks
The student government Is largely dis
organized as a result. There was no
election of a Student Hoard or Student
Tribunal last spring duo to tho unusual
conditions The Honor committee Is
without a chairman, and since the Pres
ident of the Senior class acts as presi
dent of the Student Board and Coun
cil. a 0 cry unusual condition exists.
In the absence of all of the class of
ficers, members of the Senloi class are
in a quandary as to v.itat to do. It is
the opinion of an that something must
be done quickly.

GOVERNOR CUTS
APPROPRIATION
Penn State Receives a Total of
$1,275,000 From Legislature;
No Building Fund.
Governor Brumbaugh was forced to
slice large amounts off of the Penn
State appropriation this year, and tile
result Is tile disappointing fact that
any part of the new building program
will have to be abandoned. Thy
amount of the appropriation given fo ,
the college to work on for tho next
two years is $1,275,000.
However, this is a substantial In
crease over the appropriation of two
genre ago when the college was given
only $905,000 for its work The Gov.
ernor was forced to cut down all of
the elate appropriations Tile amount
given to Penn State is lust 0225,000
less than the legislature nuthori/ed,
their figure being a million and a half
The maintenance item has reduced
by the Governor by almost $lOO,OOO
When compared with the extensive
growth of the college in tile mutt feu
years this appropriation compares
most unfavorably with the funds pre
vlously given. The college was re
fused the $350,000 that was wanted
for a new armory.
The distribution of the aPpropria•
lion follows:
Maintenance
New buildings
Armory . ..
Now farm land
Agricultural and Home Eco
comics extension.. . .
Engineering extension ....
. .
Summer session ... 25,000
Tobacco experiments .... 5,000
The act of Congress, known as the
Smith. ever act, appropriates for 1917-
19 a sum of $192,000 for the agricub
tare and home economics extension.
The terms of this act require tile col•
lege to secure a like amount from the
state
The state goternment was asked for
art appropriation totaling $2,930,000,
proportioned as follows
Maintenance, $1,223,000, new build
ings, $1,001,000, armory, $350,000,
new farm land, $00.000; agricultural
and home economics extension, $lO2 •
000, engineet ing extension, $25,000%
summer session, $25,000.
The legislature atithorired the fol
lowing amounts
Maintenance, $1,100,000; new build
ings, $103,000, nothing for armory.
new farm land, $lO,OOO. agricuraural
and home economies extenalon, $23,-
000, summer session, $25,000, tobacco
experiments. $5,000.
To Other College.
The approptiations grnnted to other
colleges and universities in tile state
for the next tn•o years are as follows.
Univetsity of Penn —51,020,000
Unliersity of Pittsburgh 675,000
Temple University .... 170,000
Duquesne Unly orally ... 15,000
In acting upon college appropria
tions for the next two years tile Gov
ernor made cuts as follows front the

Penn State, 15 per cent, Temple, 15
per cent, Penn, 1J per cent; Pitt, 10
per cent.

FOOTBALL PRACTICE
IS NOW UNDER WAY
Fewer Prep School Stars
Than Former Years, But
1921 Will be Strong
MARTIN WILL COACH IN
HERMANN'S ABSENCE
From all Indications, the football
team that represents the class of 1921
this Mil will be but little Inferior to
the freshman teams of the past two
years Tills Is despite the ant time
conditions uhich hate necessarily ef
fected athletics throughout the coun
try. Tile yearlings this fall, however,
1011 not be under the coaching of
"Dutch" Herman, for the moulder of
tmo championship freshman elevens Is
now at an officers' training camp tr 2.-
lag for a commission.
According to the plans of the Ath•
!clic Committee, no special freshman
coach mill be engaged to tulle Her
man's place, but the incoming gridiron
athletes will be under the direction of
"Dill" Martin, track coach and Elaine:,
mho has assisted in coaching In pre•
sinus years. No doubt "Bill" Wood,
