The chief feels that he has teen cheated of his prey. When one discovers twenty or more suspicious looking blanks and does considerable unravelling only to find out that they are the handiwork of twenty or more harmless students, one’s feelings are apt to be outraged. The chief feels wounded. ' “They can buy chapel seats and skirmish lines and oil wells”—the chief referred somewhat pointedly to Penn State's radio station —“but why freshman can’t write a check the way checks are meant to be written, beats me. One freshman made out a check to himself, signed it and endorsed it. Another made one out in pencil, an other dated it 1927. The College ought to give a course in check writ ing. It seems to be a lost art.” ' The chief was quite candid about it. Something should be done. Senate Makes Senior Exam Ruling Clear A new interpretation of the rule that no examinations will be sched uled for seniors during the second semester was made at the College Senate meeting last Thursday.

On the other hand, graduating seniors who arc taking subjects regularly scheduled for mem bers of the three lower classes will be excused from examinations in those subjects.

STATE COLLEGE, PA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24. 1926 FRESHMAN ELEVEN MAKES FIRST REAL DISPLAY OF POWER New Quarterback Revives Plebe Team—Linesmen, Backs Work Smoothly BELLEFONTE TO RELY UPON EIGHT VETERANS Opening Game With Blue and Gold To Be Trying Start for Cubs A new quarterback has made Coach Dutch Hermann’s freshman football team an inspired crew of pate-crack ers. Last week the yearlings were eleven individuals. For the last three days the eleven leather-toters work ed like one individual. But despite the discovery of Get tings, snappy Langley quarterback, the chances of toppling Bellefonte Academy when the Prep school cham pions open the plebc’s season here are slim.

WARNOCK EXPLAINS STUDENT CAR RULE Dean of Men Gives Reason for Strict Enforcement of Automobile Ban SAYS OWNERS ABUSED ! PRIVILEGES LAST YEAR Regarding the general disfavor which greeted the College ban on au tomobiles, Mr. A. R. Warnock, Dean of Men has issued the following state ment: “Many students have been trying to uncover reasons- for the stricter policy in the application of the stu dent auotomible rule. A few have hinted, humorously no doubt, that lo cal taxi and garage interests were moving in the background. “Two years of -liberal application of the rule have proved that this is a rule that must be evenly enforced to be effective, bast year many permits were issued in seemingly deserving cases. The result was that in a ma jority of cases holders of these per mits abused their privileges and many other students, resenting apparent favoritism, kept cars here without permits. In short,; student car own ers themselves demonstrated the weakness of a liberp f *.policy. - “The rule and. is.'be; ing adopted by an increasingly large number of colleges. For this com munity it is a necessary rule. The presence of four or five hundred stu dent cars in daily use on the streets would be a menace to safety and comfort in this small town. "I believe its application to all cases, evenly is the only defensible and the only fair policy.” — Who’s Dancing ._ _ ; Friday Beta Lambda Sigma Tau Kappa Epsilon Theta Chi Saturday Omega Epsilon Phi Kappa Sigma Sigma Chi PARMI NOUS ELECTIONS 3.
