For mer Chaplain Metzger, once chan man of the directing committee, said of this period “Freshman Week is intended to place the en tire College at the fieshman’s service one week before the actual College year begins, so that he may become acquainted with the conditions under which he is to work for four years, and not be forced into that acquaintance through mere chance or accident.” It is in this “welcome-plus-seivicc” attitude that Freshman Week accomplishes its purpose. For se\enty-one yeais agone the streets of State College have been filled with students greeting filends; friends who were made the year or yeais before, and friends who were to be boon com ,peers in yeais to come. This year, as in others, sees the same friendly spirit pervading the campus, but there are many among us who are as yet quite unacquainted. To these freshmen-to-be, to the men who are embaiking upon an eventful four-year journey we extend the hand of fellowship for a handclasp which betokens our gieat esteem and willing fiiendship. FRATERNITIES AND FRESHMEN Although the lestrictions placed on rushing by the Inter fraternity Council favor the fraternities in the element of time, there are many opportunities for individual organizations to dis regard the regulations and pledge new men before the season has its official conception. Freshman Week will be but two days old when lushing is permitted,,and after another penod of only two days, pledge buttons may be used on acceptable mshees. In other words, any fraternity which is guilty of the least infraction of such lenient rules should be made to feel the sting of the Council’s punishing lash—and as severe a sting as may be reasonably ap plied. There may be violations of the rushing laws. Any such act should be immediately reported to the Council for investigation. Befoie the violation, however, the would-be offenders would do well to consider the effects—sentence not only by the College au thorities and the Inteifrateinity Council, but also by the fresh men themselves.

Anderson Elected President Kent College After more than nine yeais of sei uce as head of the department of education and psychology, Di David Allen jftdcrson was elected piesidcnt of Kent State Teacheis college, Kent Ohio, by the Tiustees of that institu tion last month.

In answei to the queiy ns to why he had chosen educational and psy chological teaching as a field of life woik, Di. Anderson said “I believe that it offers the most effective field of seiwco In it there is a bettci oppoitunity for real living, in that it is one of the newer holds of study associated with educational woik. It is second to none m the held of social service.” Raised Standards When Di. Anderson came to Penn State in 1917, the department of which lie has been head was one of the minor divisions of the School of Libeial Aits.
