BUSINESS IS PICKING UP Last Saturday night proved that the Student Tribunal is fully aware of the important trust imposed upon it and that it is determined to per form its duties to the oest of its ability. The men on the tribunal are to be commended for the zeal with which they are carrying on their work. Seven freshmen were punished for violations of customs. Two of these were seen to talk with girls and another has been too for ward in his behavior. The remaining four were found in the vicinity of Co-op while the barbering was going on. All cases were flagrant misdemeanors of the frosh code and have been punished in the proper manner. This should impress the members of the freshman class with the necessity for obeying the “letter of the law” and with the ser iousness of evading these regulations. Three of the cases were clear cases of disobedience with suffic ient evidence to warrant rhe punishment meted our. The other four cases were concerned with the unwritten law that no freshman is to be in the vicinity of that place where a classmate is being punished. Sure ly there is not a “wearer of the dink” who is not acquainted with this regulation before the first week of school ends. The freshmen who were given haircuts Saturday night for disobeying this regulation knew of this and they deserved th sentence carried out. This tribunal and the sophomores on the “cutting committee” acted within their rights and performed their duty as they should. There is probably not a man of the three upper classes who is a firm believer in the value of, and who is anxious to uphold the traditions of the college provid ing they are up-to-date and beneficial, who will not approve of this action. Up to the present time, the tribunal has had a very successful start on what promises to be a good year for Penn State customs. All that is doubtful is the support which the student body will give to this body of men. In the past years, there has been a tendency to show indifference to the enforcement of customs and this has weakened the power of the tribunal. But this year, conditions have changed for the better and the students are taking an active interest in this side of college life. If each individual upperclassman will but continue to keep a watchful eye on the behavior of the yearlings and report any infraction of customs to the student tribunal, this phase of campus life will be healthier and a credit to the institution. The rain over the last week-end and the football game on Saturday combined to show the college wherein an improvement is needed. Cannot a cinder path be placed on New Beaver Field leading over to the new stands and which will not interfere with the plans for any of the playing fields? During the past year, the Athletic Association has been busy in changing the arrangement of the fields with the result that a better diamond has been made for the baseball team, new bleachers and stands have been erected for the football and baseball fields, the entire plot has been regraded and in some places sodded, and a general improve ment made in all respects except the walking conditions. A soccer field for the varsity team has been laid out, and a practice gridiron set out. Surely the Association has accomplished much in a short period of time. The improvement suggested here would not entail great expense and it could probably be made without encroaching upon the limits of any of the fields. The conditions last week certainly call for action if it be possible to do something. For the rest of the season inclement weather is to be expected. It is decidedly unpleasant to walk in the yellow mud found on New Beaver Field after a rain. Students, faculty, and visitors must pick their way through a stretch of this mud in order to reach the bleachers or the new stands from the Allen Street campus road. A cinder path might be laid out about one hundred ieet north of the present entrance and directed straight to the new stands. Thus, it would not cut in on the baseball diamond. As to the soccer field, the limits do not reach up to the baseball diamond and there is apparently a narrow strip of land unused. Why not place the cinder path between these fields? The sport followers would be thankful for such a change. It is pleasure to the Penn State student body to see the 1923 foot ball team in action. The clean sportsmanship, the harmony between the coaching staff and the squad, and the co-operation among the in dividual players is responsible for the admiration and regard felt on the campus for the gridiron warriors. Such an attitude insures an enjoyable season. It is a pleasure to the Penn State student body to see the 1923 foot the Nittany eleven in the games that are to follow. Success is an er ratic element in this sport that is kindred to Fate. An injury or some happening in the early part of the season is apt to upset the sport for the remainder of the season. But it is within the power of any one ac quainted with the true Penn State to predict an enjoyable season when such spirit characterizes the work of the athletes. No wonder Coach Bezdek is seen wearing a smile these days. M. ./in;**;- Aij*# s. el. 'Jr- '.iA-'.AbirJits V. W. ti-j'A, A. W. i'etr-. A! *:•;**, : V.'jr-i .if. •s li, 1j22.

The; first st.-p in that development ia th*; raising of a fund of 12.000.000 with which to provide welfare and other buildings f..r the college. This, with] further steps to he taken later, will pro-1 vide f»r an eventual enrollment of 10. 000 hoys and girls in the regular cours- • *h and an increase in the work done among the other groups. Each year. | for the pas: few years, it has been ne i >-..-ssary for the college to turn away ' practically a thousand students deslr , ing to enter th« freshman class. If the ! future university is to be of as great ! assistance to the state as it ought to he. ■ its capacity will have to be increased proportionally to the increasing de : mantis upon it. What that expansion Into a univers ity will mean to the state of Pennsyl vania is h-st to be judgd by considera tion of what Pennsylvania State College has already meant to the state and what some of the great state universi ties have meant in their own districts. It is not ( -try to measure how much has beep done for the farmers, for the in dustrial clays and for the mining in terests of the state, by the researches carried or. in the laboratories of the college. »r.VJ>ftKr>-FOIJ> AKITA** Who can say what widespread dis ease among potatoes has been prevent ed by the plant pathologist? in the lab oratories -and the college agents who have carried information and practical j assistance to the farm managers of thej state? President David Kinely. of the I’niver.-ity of Illinois, recently said that that I'nivcn-ity "has. In one department .alone, been conducting a set of experi ments for fourteen years in a certain Industry, which, when equally success ful on a commercial plan will pay hack through that single in dustry in the state of Illinois more than the univer sity will gep in appropriations in a hun dred years”. Penn State can say as much. The re sults of the experiments conducted by the Institute of Animal Nutrition, through the means of the respiration calorimeter designed by a Penn State professor, would alone pay the farmers of this country enough to set up a state university with the facilities that this state should have. Hut there is an al most inexhaustible series of other prob lems that the agricultural laboratories of a university are asked to solve. For instance, the School of Agricul ture at the State College would like to he able to tell the farmer what to do a bout root and .-vllar rot, it would like to ten him whether or not milk products will act as a substitute for meat scraps in feeding poultry, and it would like to tell him what can be done toward the conservation of soil for future genera tions. Hut up to the present, either Irf'cause of a lack of time or available funds, these problems have not been worked to completion. Expand Research Field And so with the Engineering School. .Much has been done at the college in the perfection of safety devices for rail roads. and at the present time experi ments in railroad refrigeration are be ing carried on. Through the assistance of a het meter, tests are now being conducted on the transmission of heat through various building materials, and it is esisy to see how valuable may.be the completion of this problem. Hut here, too. there is an alomst in finite fund of problems to be worked, in all of the schools and depart ments of the college, only the surface of the great pieces of research has been scratched. An expansion of the college into a university will 'mean a propor tional expansion of the facilities for carrying on much needed research. These problems are not merely aca demic or theoretical. The farmer and the manufacturer, the miner and the banker, the housewife and the teacher, are waiting for the answers to many or the questions that are now in the pro cess of being answered. As soon as the results are determined, the Infor : mation will be made immediately avail able for them through the extension work done by the college. The Penn sylvania state College ia the college of the people and so will the university be.

Accord ing to information given out at the col-' lege yesterday by Dr. D. F. McFarland] of the Department of Metallurgy, It la! expected that not only will it be pos sible to make a satisfactory domestic] substitute for anthracite coal but also) to conserve by-products such as motor) fuel, wood-preservative, road materials.' fertilizer and other portions of coal, which now go up the chimney. ) The coai strike and the attending i possibilities of coat shortage with high prices for domestic fuel have revived 'nteresr'in experiments looking toward’ a better utilization of our poorer grades of bituminous coal. It Is a well known fact that most house-heating furnaces waste much of the potential heating value of bituminous coal burned In them by the loss of volatile gases and tarry materials up the flue, these vol atile products which are of great heat ing value being distilled off and lost before it is possible to burn them. Not only is the heat lost but the soot and smoke produced are a great domestic nuisance. It has long been the dream of fuel vjqierts to modify coal of this type so that they will burn with a smokeless flame, .giving off their heat in the fur nace and allowing all of it to be used. Experiments are being carried on In the Department of Metallurgy of the Pennsylvania State College School of Mines, looking toward the development of such a process. Preliminary exper iments have been so promising that a specially trained investigator has been secured to devote a large portion of his time to the work. F. G. Straub, chosen for the- work, has spent two years in the study of fuel technology, under Professor S. W. Parr, of the University of Illinois. Be fore coming to Penn State, he did spe cial coking research with one of the largest builders of coke ovens.

Each extension worker paid a dollar for every year h*- has been :a Pen n State's service, with a minimum of five dollars. The fund now totals about six hundred dollars. The money was pledged at an extension conference held on August 25. at the time of the Potato 'Growers' Ground Breaking Ceremony fur the hospital.
