Stod dart, of the Liberal Arts School. ‘Based on the total number of stu dents enrolled in all Liberal Arts courses and not upon the total num ber of students in College, the regis tration in the courses reaches 10,793, 182 of which are in graduate classes according to the report. The School of Liberal Arts has the greatest rep resentation with 4,156 units in the courses. School of Education students ac count for 2,022 of the total registra tion,, while the Schools of Engineer ing and Chemistry and Physics follow with 1,851 and 1,078 respectively. The School of Agriculture with 857, Mineral Industries with 265, and Phy sical Education with 171, constitute the remaining units in course enroll ment. In a nine-year period from 1923-24 to this semester, the economics divi sion has had the greatest increase in enrollment, advancing from 1,266 to 2,140 in class registration. The only decrease noted was in the cla&ical languages courses with the enrollment dropping from 1,350 to 804. Steady advances were made by the German and music divisions, the for mer increasing from 182 to 669 in the nine-year period, and the latter from 101 to 498. Philosophy rose from 87 to 261 in enrollment, while English, including composition, literature, and WOMEN’S GROUPS PLAN 2 SUBSCRIPTION DANCES Bring, Rapp, Head Committees for Owens, McAllister Hall Affairs Two subscription dances to be held in McAllister hall within the next two months have been planned by wo men’s groups, according to chairmen of the committees in charge of the functions. ’ .Cwens, sophomore women’s activi ties society, will sponsor a dance on Saturday, December 10, while the an nual McAllister hall dance will be held on January 6.

Enrollment in mathematics, class ical languages, and history bourses fluctuated during the period with slight increases shown. The greatest unit enrollment in Liberal Arts classes came in the first, semester last year when 11,062 grades were dis tributed. Of the 369 Liberal Arts classes be ing conducted this semester, forty-two percent of 157 contain between 21 to 30 students, while 93 number bet.ween 11 to 20 registrants. The economics, history, and English literature de partments lead in classes of 41 and’ over, with 21, 16, and 11 groups, re spectively. 8 Percent of 1936 Class Have Faulty Speech, Test Shows Nearly eight percent of the present freshman class have more or less serious defects in their speech which demand clinical attention, results of the speech test given to all first-year men during registration show. Twenty-four freshmen were found to have serious disorders which de manded immediate clinical attention, while forty-one had less serious .de fects in their. speech. In addition, there were thirty who had'disorders which merited some degree of clinical supervision. Clinical work 'is 'under the direc tion of Herbert Koepp-Baker, of the public speaking department, who is a trained clinical technician. Present procedure consists of a series of diagnostic tests, while plans for the future call for a - recording instru ment which will make, an individual, record of each student's voice. The test this year consisted of two parts, the first of which.was reading a connected paragraph which was so constructed as to test the freshmen in fifty-two different speech sounds. Pronunciation of a certain number of words was the second part of the test This year’s number.of speech dis orders was slightly higher than last year, according to Prof. John H. Friz zell, head of the public speaking de partment ' and director of the tests. However, the test this year was also more difficult than the one given last year, he said. It haunted clerks \ " for generations ' “The first of the month” used to be a time of feverish activity for ledger clerks. But the Bell System accounting staff breaking away from tradition simplified the keeping of accounts and rendering of monthly statements to customers. They applied a modern system of rotation■ bill ing to the telephone business which now spreads this work evenly throughout the month. In co operation with manufacturers, they devised special typewriters and bookkeeping machines. Thus they did away with inefficient rush and achieved greater accuracy, speed and neatness. This is but one example of a point of .view found throughout the Bell System. Even long accepted routine is constantly studied —it’s’always worth looking for the more efficient way!

Just twenty-nine years ago the two-cylin dered Ford had twice as many cylin dei*s as the Cadillac, and the riding qualities of ‘the former were superior to those of the latter because of the pneumatic tires which were used in stead ofthe solid type found on all 1903 Cadillacs.

Entitled “The Failure of the Fra ternity,” the senior’s article charac terizes the present fraternity as: “a social organization for outward ap pearance instead of a society for inner values” and maintains that “conform ity is the moth-eaten banner which the fraternity flaunts.” “One knows hardly half the names of the men he is welcoming as ‘broth ers/ the writer says in denouncing Enrollment Decrease In American Colleges Shown by Statistics Proof that Penn State is not alone among other American colleges and universities in the matter of decreased enrollment is shown by statistics pub lished by a metropolitan newspaper recently.

Maintaining that “one is a benight ed idealist if ha hopes to find ‘brother hood’" where “one joins on, flash judgment and is chosen in the same fashion," "the senior scores rushing season as a “superficial lottery." ’“A man does not choose his friends- in a half hour," he adds. “Contrary to popular opinion, the average freshman is not opposed to taking customs," according to Vance 0. Packard ’36, author of “Freshmen Like Customs." If, following frater nity. rushing, “we had not been brought quickly back to earth by these few customs, we would probably be the most conceited young asses on the face of this earth," he adds. Believing that the only' hope for freshman customs “lies not in a, change, but- in a more efficient en forcement of vthc present system,” Packard points out that freshmen don’t hesitate to break rules “because we know that the upperclassmen are usually not interested enough to pro test." ‘ENGINEER’ WINS 3 AWARDS IN MAGAZINE COMPETITION .
