COLUMBIA FROSH ARK PRIZE WINNING CLASS The freshman class at Columbia this year has shattered several records at the institution. Its members exceed all previous classes in average weight, ■height, and intelligence. FYES* FOR Groceries Notions Dry Goods American and Canadian colleges and universities. Over titty institutions hav«- uMikutcd themselves with the Na tional ltille Association, and have par ticipated in its annual intercollegiate matches, and in addition many of the college teams have carried heavy sched ules of dual meets in which conspicuous records have been made. Among the more prominent eompeti t rs in last season's shooting wore the m.versity «*f Pennsylvania, winners of the National Uitle Association's Inter collegiate Match for 1922; Norwich University, which has been producing teams of championship calibre for the ! past live years; Vale, which won eight ’s'll of its twenty dual machos and dc- J cisivei.v .defeated Oxford and McGill in , international shoots; Dartmouth, : Princeton. Georgetown. M. I. T.. j Washington, and the University of Cal \ ifornia. Many other institutions small • as well as large, made creditable rec i orris, for ritle shooting is a sport in i which mnnll colleges have equal oppor- I amities with the "big fellows" and of j ten furnish unexpected upsets. Kill.- shooting is unique in being the only college sport Ju which It Is un necessary for the opposing leu me to meet on the same Held. As the hulk of the shooting is done on Indoor rang es. weather conditions may be ne glected. and the match cun be curried on witli each team shooting on its home range and exchanging scores by telegraph. Thus it is possible to carry on imorseotional matches without the expense of travel to a common meeting place, so that the schedule of un East ern college rllle team may throw it into competition not only with its neigh liorlng rivals, hut with the leading uni versities of the South, the West, and Great Britain. For example, in the past two seasons the Yale rifle team has met in competition not ’only Harvard, Princeton. Dartmouth, and Cornell, with whom the university competes in many of its major and minor sports, but also Alabama Polytechnic, lowa State University, the . University of Washington.'McGill University of Mon treal. and Oxford University. With the latter, Yale holds an nnuual match con ducted with tiie help of the trans-At lantic cables. Of course, under such conditions controversies and close de cisions on scoring frequently arise, and hi ihe.se the headquarters of the Na tional Kith l Association at Washington is looked to as the dual arbiter. How ever, during the last two years the need lias been felt of a. distinctive col lege organization for standardizing in tercollegiate shooting conditions, with the resjilt Unit in Uni spring of 1921 the Princeton. Yale, ami Columbia man agements met to form an IntercollegU ate Association of Alliliated Rille Clubs, open for membership to all rifle clubs alliliated with the National Bine Asso ciation. During the season of 1922 its membership included fourleon colleges and universities; —Bowdoin. Columbus. Cornell. Dartmouth, George Washing ton University. Norwich. Princeton. University of Maine, University of Pennsylvania. University of West Vir ginia. Utah Agricultural College, and Yale. • •••..- It is hoped that the coming yoar will see large increases in the membership of the Association, so that it may be made to include all the college rifle clubs alliliated with tho National Rifle Association. The ollleors for Uio sea son of 1922-23 are: president. Colonel William Libby of Princeton, director and former president of the National Rifle Assoeiatiniuvlee president, Chaun coy P. Williams, Jr„ captain of the Yolo University Rifle Team for 1923; secre tary and treasurer. A. P. Williams, of the University of Pennsylvania.

NEW PLAN FOR CLASS REUNIONS PROPOSED Dix System Will Probably Be Adopted to Take Place of Former Five Year Plan Acting upon the suggestion outlined at the annual meeting of the alumni which was held over last Alumni Day', the committee appointed by the Board of Managers drew up u tentative table of reunions for the coming years ac cording to the Dix plan and submitted their schedule to the alumni in the last issue of the Alumni -News. According to the new plan, a regu lar schedule has been made out which provides for the reunion of the mem bers of the four classes which were in college at the same time, instead of the old method of five, ten fifteen, and twenty year reunions. In other words, assuming that ’67. ’6B, '69. and '7O, also •S 6. 'B7. 'BS. 'B9; *O5. 'O6. 'O7. 'OB would reune next year then the following year 'B2 'S3. 'B4. 'B5; 'Ol, 'O2, 'O3, 'O4. and '2O '2l '22 '23 would reune. Thus with in a period of five or nine years those who return to Penn State ns per this schedule would see all the men of the seven classes whom they knew* while in college. As many other classes as want to reune every year would he welcome, but this plan which is being, adopted other institutions with success, pro vides the opportunity of seeing mem bers of the -'contiguous classes which the straight five year plan does not offer. If this plan goes into effect, as is expected at the present time, the Board decided that the class reunions should lie held under the Dix plan at Com mencement and that the Alumni . Homecoming should be reserved for the reunion of the alumni without re gard to classes. o <!OJ,F (’LASSES FOR GIIILS STARTED AT CINCINNATI A elass in golf for’girls is being or ganized by the Department of Physi cal Education of the University of Cincinnati The girls will practice on their athletic, field until they become more proficient. loiter they will he taken to the i'cai golf links where they will be given an opportunity to learn the game thoroughly.

The securing of such speakers as Mr. Ecblau is in line with the policy of the department of Farm" Machinery to give thoso taking Its courses as broad and practical experiences ns possible through association with specialists in the field of manufacture. Recently Mr. Lea of the Clay Products Association gave an address on the manufacture and use of tiles, flues, silo fbiy materials. The Dupont Powder Company sent a demonstrator tvho explained the manufacture and safe bundling uf explosives when removing stumps, draining and changing stream courses. Other men of high calibre are being secured for future dates. The department of Farm Machinery Is one of .the lust to have been formed, dating back Just eighteen months. The demand for such a division can be seen from the fact thnt America, with but seven per cent of the land and six per cent of the population of the world, is producing twenty-five por cent of the wheat, seventy-five per cent of the corn, and sixty per cent of the cotton. All this is due directly to improved farm machinery. An agriculture bulletin dating back to 1830 declares that in 'that year it took three hours and three minutes to pro duce n bushel of wheat. A 1922 pamph let of similar nature showed that to day but five and six-tenth minutes aro required to produce the same amount. In 1899 eleven hours were consumed in making a -ton of hay. Now*, one'hour and'thirty-nine minutes are sufficient. To quote from a recent government bulletin we find that "each American farmer and laborer, on the average, is feeding nine people other than himself in this country and one more person living hi foreign lands. It is In- this increased productivty of tho Amercan farm, amounting to probably fifteen per cent in the last decade, that the expend iture for scientific research, far. tech nical education, and for the improved economic organization • in agriculture finds its justification." ’v Prof. R. I’.'BlaslngJime, of the Farm •Machinery department, spoke to. the freshmen at their last weekly meeting along lines similar to the* abovei su ?. 3jJ WISCONSIN REQUESTS * - SIX MILLION BUDGET The budget demand of tho University of Wisconsin. for the bionnal period of 1923-1925 is approximately 86,000,- 000. and is described by Edward A.
