War Time Developments Are Coming Thick And Fast VOL. Xlll. No. 15 MAY CONTINUE COLLEGE THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER Trustees Will Consider Plan to Graduate a Senior Class Next February COLLEGE WILL CLOSE PRESENT YEAR APRIL 23---NO FINALS A plan _will be _considered by the Board of Ti ustees of the college at its annual meeting in flai i isburg on Janu ary 21 wherby arrangements would be - made to continue college classes for upper-class enginem ing, mming and chemistry students during the summer months with the end in vies• of gradu ating the Senims in these corn ses in Fein nary, 1919, instead of June. There are no positive indications that this plan %%ill be .authorized, other than it is being considered by the trustees - as a pai t ,of the i wiliest by the govern ment that colleges aid as much as pos sible in getting thcir men out in active semi e for the benefit of the country. However, it is slated to receive grave consideration. Further details of the plan - might be outlined tentatively as follow,: Under the prese . nt plans the college will close with commencement exer cises on Ain it 24. At that time the piesent Juniors will have become Seniors.• and the Sophomores •will be Juniors After a short vacation their Senior and Junioi years, respectively, _will open, probably about the first of May. The first semester of tl.eir year would be closed about the middle of August, and then would follow a month of ‘acation, ihul the second semester would start at the same time that col lege would open under ordinary condi tions. about the middle of Septembei. At that time the present Freshmen would come back as Sophomores, and the new Fieslunan class would start iLs yeas. Then during the fall and until the commencement in February the student enrollment would be at its greatest height. IVould Cause Conflicts , The then Juniors would become Seniors with the eliding of then semes ter, and if the war conditions still 'e:Eist at that time, they could be kept at continuous work until August 1919, when they would be graduated, ten months ahead of the time now set. The under classes would tit into the schedule as they are moved up at the end of each semester, and as they reach then• Junior year the extr.t time would be effective and they would he rushed to graduation. .\ serious conflict in Fresh man and Sophomore chemist' y would result that would have to be cared for. Confining' the change to only the stu dents in engineming and chemistry Infiniti cause additional mix-ups all along the line. it is thought • for the agricultural and [Alma] At is students objections to the min.} ing out of this COUrSQS already given by certain in structors who teach all students in similar lines. Then too, thole ai e many students %silo rely upon thee• summer vacation earnings to a great extent in defraing thee• college expenses, and they would without doubt hold serious objections to the Thai•rying out of this plan. However, the scheme is by no means settled as yet, and there are great chances that the trustees will abandon it altogether. One of the biggest factors to be con sidered in the adoption of such a plan 'Could he the provision of ample funds with tt hich to c.u•i} on the work at this State institution. No funds are avail able for maintenance during the extra time that college would be forced to re main open, and unless this phase of the question can he settled in a satisfac tory manner, the entire scheme will have to be abandoned. It is true that only abort one-half of the present stu dent body ttould be hme for the extra simmer session, and that expenses could not be so great milli that number _of students on hand But even at that, the expense %%mild be prohibitive in view of the fact that no moi e than enough money was given by the last Legislature to maintain the collge under _ordinary en cumstances for the next Ono ears Voluntary service on the Dart of the necessary instructors would solve the question and aid the govern ment in its work, but at that thi sacri fice %Could he of great magnitude. These aie many other phases of the situation that have not yet been brought out, and it is thought that no further information will be available until aftei the meeting of the- la ustees.

FAREWELL TO THE PENN STATE UNIT With-the expected departure. of the Penn State Unit of the U. S. A. A. C. from the - campus today, we will bid farewell to a group of men of whom we students _of Penn State might well '-be proud We have been fortunate in having them with us for the past six weeks and not only. do we feel that we have been greatly benefited by their presence, but we hope that they have beeu equally benefitted by their visit. They have brought us a more intense Military atmosphere; they have inspired us with. _ a vision of true patriotism; they have assisted in training us in - military matters, and altogether, we have been more than glad that they were able to be with us. We only regr,et _that we have been unable to show this due appreciation in more appro priate ways. We extend our best wishes to these staunch Penn State men in their coming duties "over there." They go now to Allentown, and expect soon to be in active service. ter •jpNj rg'41855 • CHEMISTS TO WORK IN POWDER PLANTS Seniors Will Spend Second Sem ester In Dupont and -Hercules Works—Receive College Credit -In accord %%WI Penn State's war-time policy of releasing students for indus trial and agricultural work during the Nummei, and following closely upon the decision of the Council of Administra tion to shorten the college year the Chemistry Department has taken the first actual step In this direction, by re leasing the Senior Chemists for work in several of the large powder plants. which are at present working almost entirely on government orders for am munition. In view of the reputation which is widely held of Dean Pond's chemists, it was not very hard to secure openings for all the members of the Senior chemist section •in the DuPont and I lei miles Powder plants, at Wilmington, Delaware. This was especially true at the present time, when the scarcity of chemists has reached such an acute stage - The men will be gone during the enthe second semester, leaving here immeliately upon the close of the pres ent half of the college year. However; even though they miss a whole semes ter in the most important of their years at college, they will receive full college ciedit.- The only condition Imposed is that they continue to VOI k with "`here companies during the coming thi ee months The pi esent plan calls for their re turn for the commencement exercises on April 21, at which time they will re ceive their degiees, the same as if they were here ptersuing their scholastic, %%uric durmg the interim Although they will not be enlisted in the government set vice, they will liter ally, if not actually, be in that condi tion. The total amount of work that is being Um tied out by these plants is on huge government war coders, and for this reason it is pi obable, that they will be exempt from the draft After their ginduation, they will therefore be free to return to this work, or to engage In any other line 01 work that they mav desit o. • Orchestra Concert Sun dcw Afternoon The first of it set ies of.

The Orchestra will be the first number of the course, presenting a program of six selections. Great clue was exer cised 'in making up the program, with the hope that many will—avail them selves of this opportunity and give the course a good start. An interesting feature of this week's program rests in the fact that the former composer of Characteristic Sketches was the son of the lath President Athdrton, former head of the College The attraction on the 20th Atli be the Glee Club. ASSISTANT APPOINTED IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION Miss Helen Wainer has been secured as an assistant in Physical Education . , to assist Physical Director Martin. "Bill" Martin had consented to take charge of the gym work in addition to hi, other duties, but the work proved to be too much and it was found neces sary to secure an assistant The ap pointment of Miss Warner is the result. Miss Warner graduated from Oberlin in 1914, and attended summer school at the same institution during 1916, taking graduate work She was an instructor in physical training at Glenwood, lowa, until Christmas, starting at Penn State immediately after the holidays. She will have charge of the gym drill for the first and second year girls. STATE COL L EGE, PA., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1918 SENIORS MAY NOW JOIN THE R. 0. T. C. Many Activities In Military Line —Large Number Apply For Engineering Exemptions . In recent rulings of the War Depart ment, Seniors will be allowed to enter the l 0. T. C. and will also be exempted from the draft until graduation, or until after the close of the camp to which they will he sent upon graduation. For sonic time, efforts have been made to have the Seniors as well as the, Juniors in cluded in the R. 0. T. C. but It was not definitely settled until the receipt of the recent orders from Washington. They will pursue the work of practically the same natuie as that being given the funioi s, and upon graduation will be sent to a three month camp, after which time they will receive commis sions, if their work is of satisfactory !,character. No ruling was made in legardrto ex emptions for the Juniors, but the deci sion still tests in the hands of the local heal d,. However, it is definitely known that in several cases iit least, men have been classified in "SD", on account of their R.. 0. T C. Work. All men who succeed in passing the next draft. 'a ill i be safe Rif' the remainder of their col- , lege course, as a Junior legally becomes a Senior upon the graduation of the preceding Senior class.- In view of this fact, it is probable that the local boards. I which do not wish to exempt Juniors,' will consent to a furlough until the') tune they become Seniors, when they I will automatically be exempted for the rest of their college course. It is not known as yel, what effect.- the shot lening of the year will have upon the military life of the college, if any. The Sophomores and Freshmen will undoubtedly have a sufficient num ber of hours, as they are putting in five hours a week, where only duce ale re quired. However, in the case of the Juniors and Seniors, who are iequired to have five hours a week, the Matter is somew hat indefinite. If the same number of boors are le - gulled that would be needed In normal 3 ears, the summer camp will probably have to be lengthened a few days. The pi esent intention is to hold the summer camp of four weeks fur the Junims, although there have been some rumors circulat ing to the contriry. Probably other arrangements will have to be made later, as there will be no camp for col lege men alone; but the H 0. T. C. will have to be sent to one of the training camps In existence at present, but nothpig oennite has been deckled upon WI yet. $2l For Uniforms i)ui ing the Christmas holidays, Major 13aylirs was at Washington on business concerning, among other things, the It 0. T. C., and found that a new decision in regard to the uniforms had been made. In place of the fourteen dollars, which was originally announced as be ing allowed for the purchase of a uni form, a sum of twenty-three dollars and eighty cents will be given, provided the uniforms are secured during the first semester of the school year If they are not secured until after the beginning of the second semester, only half of that amount will be allowed For the Sophomotet, turd Fieshmen, the allowance still remains at fourteen dol lars as originally. That the present mem beis of the Penn State R. 0. T. C. unit will be able to avail themselves of this opportunity, seems to be.ttimost an ha possibilty, as the shot toning of ,the year leaves but a week In which to seem the unlfoi Hard Work Next Semester ‘ The work of all those under the juris diction of the military department will probably be more strenuous next semes ter, particular:y for the It. 0. T. C. men, whose course will start in real earnest with the beginning of the second half of the college year. Considerable diffi culty is still being experienced in the matte' of seem ing class rooms in which to meet As soon as the Stock Judging Pavilion can be secured, bayonet work will. be given the Juniors, and to a greater extent - the Sophomores. The Freshmen will continue, at.least for the next few weeks, their gym work. Along ,with their other work, the R. 0. T. C. will receive instruction in conversation al French, and considerable time - will be devoted to map making and reading The men as yet have not had an actual physh al examination by Dr. Ritenour, but it will be given in a short time. Many Apply For Englnec . rs' Rvierlo Applicants for enlistment in the En gineers' Reserve Coins have been pass ing in and out of the President's office in as steady stieam during the past few days. It is impossible to find out as yet the number that have applied, but Judging from appearances, a large number have taken advantage of the change of being exempt from the draft during the remainder of their course. The average grade of the highest third of the graduates of the last ten yeats is between 75 and 76 per cent — ', which allowed a large number of the pi esent undo' graduates to apply.

HARLOW FOOTBALL COACH;_ -- - - ..'k'.-: .SCHEDULE -IS ANNOUNCED Athletic Committee InstituteslCornell, Dartmouth, W. and j., Real Penn State System Pitt and Lehigh To Be Met Of Coaching Next Season HARLOW IN FULL CHARGE ON A 3-YEAR CONTRACT Penn State's football coaching problem has been solved for the next three years. ','Dick" Harlow 'l2, signed a contract at the request of the Alulnni Advisory Athletic'Committee, for that length of time just before the holiday. Through this action and the further plans of the committee, a distinctive Penn State system of coaching football will now be in effect for the first time since the gridiron sport was made one of the leading activities in this institution. It is proposed that an assistant coach be recruited from the ranks of former wearers of the Blue and White, and an attempt is now being made to secure "Bull" McCleary 'lO, looked upon'as the best fullback that has ever played for Penn State. Other Blue and White stars of former years will be brought here from time to time during the _season to give what assistance they can in the building up of a winning team The alumni, committee considered the question at llngth before'coming to its linal decision, and every member of that body Is of the firm belief that in finally reaching the absolute stage in graduate coaching, they have achieved the high est possible aims that have been in mind for several sears past-the insti tution of a strictly Penn State system. On of the main features of the change lies in the fact that Head Coach Harlow will have lull charge of every depm t ment of the work.

However, with but one capable man at the he lm it is thought that matters will be simplified, and with the old stuyle of play that won big -victories for Penn State half a dozen - sears ago being emphasized, football at 'this college should reach the sound bair that it has Been endeavoring to gain for several, years past , ' As in every other line of college :telly it3, the outlook for the football• season. ne‘t Wills indeed uncertain. It is pas; sible that an almost , entirely now team m, dl have to he 'developed from, the be ginning of 'the season and Head Coach Harlow will start spring - -practice as soon as possible. The shoi toning of the college year will also play no little part In handicapping the early work, but I larlow expects . to make the best of all opportunities. Plit yerq Pleased Tho-,e closely connected ‘Nith football affairs at Penn State have expressed themselves as being well pleased with the step_ of the Advisory Committee, and look forwaid to the ultimate de velopment of a strong system and smoothly working football machines de spite the ohm actor of the material that might be on hand froth time to time.
