WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1918 News Editor for This Issue With the early beginning of a new semester tomorrow morning, each student should take upon himself the necessity of looking gravely into the reasons that brought about the change from the routine of other years, and govern himself accordingly. As a war measure the change is one of great merit, and from the other side, the inconvenience of the rearrangement to the college officials brings to our attention the graveness of the situation, and should encourage us to strive to the best of our ability to make the new semester a successful one in every respect. The unbroken strain from now until the last of April will doubt less prove tedious, especially towards the end, but every time an attack of the "blues" comes on—and some of them are sure to come—just think of the purpose of the entire arrangement; think that it is aiding your country to win the war. Our influence here may be very slight, but these are times when "every little bit helps." Collectively, we are just a little cog in Uncle Sam's affairs. No cog dare slip. It is unfortunate that there is no definite, uniform system in vogue throughout every department of . the college whereby the "cutting" of classes might be regulated and thoroughly understbod by every student. But even if a definite "cut" system were in effect here this is no time to take undue advantage of its absence. - A well known member of the faculty has brought class attendance down to a business-like basis, a viewpoint that is seldom taken by the average, student. _ . It is conservatively estimated that to-keep the student 13'ody at Penn State for one ordinary" year costs in the neighborhood of one million dollars. For two thousand students this would mean an annual expenditure by the State of $5OO per student. (With a student body now several hundred less than that number, the expense for each stu dent is naturally greater, for overhead expenses must be met.) Figures show that the average man at Penn State spends about $5OO a year for fees, room, board, clothing, traveling and miscellaneous expenses. It therefore costs an average of $l,OOO a year per student for his education. The average student has a total of 578 recitations a year, at a cost of $1.75 for each one. A class of 'thirty-is costing no less than $52.50! Time is money—why waste it? With the approval of the government officials back of extended college athletics, colleges and universities all ever the country are encouraging .all forms of sport and pushing them just as though conditions •were normal in every respect. Intra-mural sports are receiving special attention on all sides, and at Penn State there should be no exception to the rule. With the practical abandonment of. the spring baseball and track programs of the 'varsity teams there are .great opportunities for the development of inter-class sports of all kinds, and they should be pushed to the utmost. The inter-class basketball, wrestling and boxing seasons are just starting, and indoor track work offers the best of training. For men who never before have had an idea of train ing in any of these special lines there is now the opportunity of not only helping themselves to better health, but of helping the college in the development of perhaps latent'material, and conforming with the desire of the government to have better men, physically, for its service. The season of minor sports is still in its infancy, and it is planned to operate all of them on larger scales than heretofore. More stress will likely be laid upon early baseball training that ever before and the same is true of track, in order that as many students as possible will be allowed to participate, chiefly for the benefits derived in physi cal development. The inter-class basketball race is to start soon, and we trust that this, as well as all other forms of sport, will receive the best kindiof support from the students, not only as spectators, but as participants, as well. Thoughtlessness, prompted by undue impatience and a lack of means whereby an excess of energy could 'be diverted in another direction, was, we believe, directly responsible for the ungentlemanly conduct on the part of a number of students at one of the town theatres last Thursday night. In their anxiety to gain admission to the place of amusement, these students overlooked for the time being the comfort and safety of the women and children on the in side. It is unfortunate that women and children were put to any dis comfort, and had these students stopped to think of this phase of the matter, we have no doubt that their attitude at the/time would have been different. We regret sincerely that the incident occurred, and trust that the students will in the future be a little more thought ful towards the management - of the theatre and their patrons. We must not forget that the management is doing its best to give us the best service possible, and that others than ourselves are desirous of reaping the benefit therefrom.

This is the sixth of these courses which have proved to be such valuable training for men who wish to enter the Ord nance Section of the _luny. The course is under the personal dilection of Ord nance Sergeant Mack and J. 0. Keller, who was recently commissioned a Sec ond Lieutenant in the Ordnance Re serve Corps On January he was assigned to State College until the re ceipt of further orders. The member ship in the si th course is limited to,one hundred men, and the list of appli cants now Nei y neatly reaches this number course is somewhat different from those The status dr the men taking this in proceeding courses. Lieutenant Kel ler has just recently returned from Washington v. here he learned that from this date on, the men in the Ordnance Stores course:, would be drafted into the Ordnance Section of the Army. It has not been decided whether the men during their stay in State College be considoi ed as on the pay roll, or merely as being on a furlough. The decision concerning this important the near future by the authorities - In point will probably be made public in charge of this Section. The purpose of the Ordnance cow se is preparation lot Ordnance. Field Ser vice. It covers a period of six weeks, no fee is charged, and strict military disciphne is in force tin oughout Men mho satisfactorily complete the course are sent to an arsen•il or permanent ordnanco deplct for fui Cher training, im mediately. It may be however, that the successful 1114.11 will be sent first to a cantonment to be equipped, and will go to their final place of instruction as soon as their equipment Is complete. Dui ing the course all men are on duty actically eight hours per day, except Si turday. A thorough study of army regulations, oidnance property regulations, army , paperwork including company admin istration, property accountability,'and accountithility for public funds, manual of cool t-mart al, scientific management, and principles of stop eskeeping au e in cluded in the course. Calisthenics and military di ill are required every day. Supplemental y lectures al e also given on such subjects as militai y dttil, cor iespondence, customs of the service, notes on ordnance lield service, hand ling of explosives, first aid, camp sanita tion and military hygiene. The policy of the govei mnent, effec tive with the course starting January 30th, is to hao all men taking the work , inducted into the kl:ivice through their local boards In advance of the opening - of the course that in every case the local boards can assign the men to the en listed Ordnance Corjis, National Army as of the date of the opening of the course and older them to report on that date at this training school. It Is Probable that rations and quarters will be furnished by the Government dur ing the course, and it is possible that the pay of the 111011 as privates It ill start with the opening of the course. Satisfactory completion of this course fits every into for apppmtment as a non-curnmissianc , i - eflicei , with excellent chances for eventually receiving a com mission.

This form of bport has always been especially popular among the students and is also very interesting for the spectators. One of the most enjoyable attractions last win ter was the inter-class meet in this sport. From present indications, the inter class meet will be held this year about the second week in Mai ch. This is the time - When interest is the Ing:test, and, March usually sees the close of the basket ball season, :t good meet should be staged. Up to the present lime, no 'varsity manager has been elected and the Sophomore and Freshman classes are the only ones which have elected class managers. -,L L. Holland was elected to manage boxing for 1920 at a class meeting held some time ago When the remainder of the managers are elected, tiials will be arranged and held iii ample time to prepaie for the meen m March.

If Smith The plans which were discussed ,iml recommended to the General Education Board call for an investigation of the practices of the athletic board's of all the colleges in order that a new stand ard of-athletic competition may be es tablished after the war before .i uni versal return to the old conditions has been completed. The :suggestion that a universal investigation of athletics be made came as a result of the lealization that physical education should be con balered a part of every college curricu lum. The investigations as recommended to the Gene al Education Board will con sist of a general survey of conditions and the establishment of an athletic standaid that ail colleges can follow. It is hoped by the sponsors of the recom mendations that pi oselyting of athletes and other practices of undesirable character will be quickly wiped out in many of the educational Institutions of the country. Specialization in athletics was also condemned by the Association and in the future it is hoped that the keynote of post-war athletics will be "the gi eat est participation by the largest possible number of -students." _High pi iced coaching is also liable to receive a hard blow for it is certain that the future is going to see a 'eduction in the size of the coaching ~ toffs with a conse quent saving of salaries, which money can be devoted to encom aging the mme general participation of the general student bodies in athletics Professor Alonzo A.
