This program changes only slightly from administration to administration; the chief changes concern those student problems which present themselves during the progress of a College year. It is in the inter ests of those problems that each new administration pub lishes its editorial policy. Evaluation of the various items contained in an ed itorial policy makes it difficult to rank the items in a def inite order. For this reason each item is presented with- out any attention being paid to its especial importance. Following in the footsteps of their predecessors, the COLLEGIAN editors reiterate their faith in President Het zel's administrative program. They further endorse the establishment of women's fraternities on the Penn State campus firm in the belief that such social groups will cre ate the desired good-will betwien the men and women of the College. Recognizing the prominent place which athletics now hold in the college curriculum the COLLEGIAN reaffirms its loyalty to Athletic Director Hugo Bezdek and his assist ants. Consistent with its past policy, however, a more extensive system of intramural athletics is urged. Not unmindful of its duty in the experiment with a system of "open politics" on the Penn State campus, the COLLEGIAN has adopted a "hands-off" policy hi all matters of polit ical significance. It has also promised to support any efforts toward the betterment of student-faculty relations. There are numberless problems which face the stu dent body during the year,'and the COLLEGIAN' shall pike an active interest in these questions, looking only toward a satisfactory solution. Some of the problems which con; front student leaders now, and to which the -COLLEGIAN subscribes concern the abolition of compulsory R- 0. T. C., unlimited cuts for seniors, a solution to the "stag" prob lem, more freedom in the election of courses, an efficient system of freshman advisers, more emphasis on'periodic examinations and less stress on final examinations, and the abolition of inhumane practices during fraternity initia- WIDER CUTTING PRIVILEGIZ The coming of spring invariably raises the question of class-cutting and the penalty exacted for this disregard or faculty discipline. fly universal usage it has become the cuctam here to limit'the number of cuts in each course to the r.umbsr of credit hours which the course gives. The hay solution, as one instructor has pointed Out, is for the student to attend classes religiously during the early part of the semester, and thus save his quota of cuts for the ',Warm afternoons in late April and May. • , Ty joint action of its.callege.,f4raltina:o4.i,lplifiiilti of Idaho recently granted'indinati4:6ita:a'airzinde44: notes. Quite naturally Idaho students greeted the an nouncement with acclaim. The action was censured in ed ucational circles, however, as being too liberal. After due consideration it does seem like a foolhardy move to givo all undergraduates, particularly freshmen and sophomores, untrammeled freedom. Unprepared to overcome such an, alluring temptation so early in their college career under.; classmen would undoubtedly sound their own death knell' by indiscriminate use of the privilege.• On the other hand, seniors should be versed in the art of gaining a col lege education without abusing their own effort's. They have come to a realization of the needs and advantages a college education, and are not likely to kill the goose that lays the golden egg. Alter experimenting for a year with a system whereby only those seniors who distinguished themselves in schol arship were eligible for unlimited cuts, the Arts college at Syracusnuniveisity granted unlimited cuts to all seniors. Lagging behind her sister colleges in the liberal movement at present, Penn State might find it profitable to introduce a similar plan here. Complaining that voluntary attendance at Sunday chapel opened the way for a week-end exodus of from 40 to CO per cent of the student body, Dr. Henry Sloane Coffin, president of Union Theological seminary and a leading member of the Yale corporation, favors the return of the compulsory chapel plan at Yale. It seems to us that lifting' the ban on student automobiles would likewise destroy the solidarity of Penn State life and prevent the happy eon• tacts that are made possible by more leisurely week-ends on the campus. •Apparently it is not irreligious to deride B. 0: T.

A. Dutcher Spring fever is out of date and there is no excuse for it, Prof. R. Adams Dutcher, head of the depart ment of agricultural and biological chemistry declares. Modern dietary habits, based on scientific information, prevent the run-down condition form erly so prevalent when winter ended i t and the warm days came, he believes. t I In what some folks call the "good old days," winter was a time when dried fruits and vegetables were the only kind available and these in in sufficient amounts, Professor Dutcher reminiseenced. With the coming of spring there was a rush for herbs to tone up the human system burdened with a lack of energy, he said. "Fresh fruits and vegetables, avail able the year around, now bring to their consumers vitamins and min eral salts to keep the body always in good condition," Professor Dutcher stated. "Modern manufacturing meth ods permit the retention of these health-giving, substances in canned and prepared foods. Rome canning has • reached a high state of perfec tion in providing ample supplies of fruits and vegetables to supplement the other foods eaten by modern folks." Doctor Dutcher declares that the press, the radio, and modern trans portation and distribution systems have been helpful agencies in helping people to acquire correct dietary prac tices. Advertising, too, has brought before the public the value of a var ied diet and the advantages of eating to keep fit, he asserted. Scientific production, dissemination of food re search results, wide distribution, and intelligent consumption have made nutritional spring fever a back num ber, the scientist declared. Twenty Years Ago . Our nine will open its season this week with a game at Annapolis to day, Georgetown tomorrow and' the University of Pennsylvania at Phila delphia on Saturday. It is interesting to note that we have defeated the Mid shipmen in the only games ever played with them on their diamond in 'O3 it was 1-to-0 and two years later Har mony Ray's team won by the over whelming score of 11-to-0. -o__. The spring performance of the Pharsonians rag given last Friday night before, a large audience. Though the show dragged a little owing to the fiequent changes of costumes and stage changes besides .the fact that several characters forgot their parts, was a big success and had many ap proving comments. -0- The stands on New Beaver Field are being erected and it is hoped that the diamond will soon bo in playing shape. Last Saturday's practice game on the old field..proved very tiring to 'the spectators who would not take the risk of sitting On the grass.
