While other colleges have tossed upon the altar of the “spectacle sports" games which do not draw so much money, this College sticks steadfastly to the belief that student participation in athletics is the important factor in determining appropriations to the sports. Of course, general student interest in watching the contests must have some influence. But if athletics, intercollegiate and otherwise, do not provide for the par ticipation of as many students as possible, th’eathey have failed to fulfill their original and only valid reason for existence. Too long have the colleges, including this one, catered to the Roman desires of the paying cus tomers. This College broke away. It considers its stu dents’ welfare first. It must'stay away. SOMjE DELICACY is required in dealing with the Tiroblcm of allowing women students in the fraternity houses at night. The students all believe, and; rightly from personal standpoint, that each student should be allowed to determine his own code of conduct and each fraternity should control its own house problems on the question. However, it is apparent in State-supported and public institutions such as this College that these affairs ai*e subject to outside scrutiny and criticism which must be heeded. It is also apparent that the Col lege has an obligation.to the parents of young men 1 ’ and young women who come here. ..The College must show that it pursues the policy which; provides the best pos sible moral and-ethical atmosphere for its students. It is difficult to persuade doting parents that a policy of absolute laissez-faire is healthy. Yet, on the other hand, if a strict policy is pursued to satisfy parents and critics, then the student revolts at the restrictions and.is driven to unhealthy practices on the rebound. The solution offered by the Interfraternity Council is no solution. Ti is just a change. The basic conflict between restric tion and freedom still remains. The situation, now as always, calls for no permanent panacea but for student understanding and College tact. GLOATING a bit might be in order when it appears that the University of Pennsylvania students squecked a little last week through their newspaper as they began to feel the pinch of their new policy in athletics. The Daily Pennsylvanian advocated t editorially the return of athletic scholarships to that institution. After glorying with a great deal of front page newsprint upon their pioneering advance in purity—modeled rather closely after, this College’s policy which was effective three years before tho Gates plan came out—they begin to. wriggle now when it means some sacrifice. This College is sacrificing many times more severely. And it does it with, good cheer. -THE PROPOSAL to revise the entire student gov erning mechanisnvis good if for no other reason than that more students will become acquainted with their own agencies of government. From previous surveys and ether indications the degree of student ignorance on this subject is surprising. Few students really know that Student Council members are like Congressional representatives in that they are i responsible to constitu ents in particular schools as the Congressmen are to their districts. Student Board is better kno.wn although even its functions'are somewhat hazy in the student mind. Tho Interclass Finance committee, seldom, if ever, enters the consciousness of many undergraduates. And so it is that a revision will be beneficial in bringing self-govern ment to the attention of the student body as well as in making the system more up to date. SEVERAL CHANGES in the policy of the physical education school are worthy of recognition as furthering the program of bringing physical development to as many students as possible. The women students arc deserving of the.use of Recreation hall at least on one night a week. By a recent change, Monday night after seven-thirty o’clock is now reserved for their use. It is, also possible now for any student to join in the work of a regularly scheduled gymnasium class at any time of the day. The politician who keeps his car close to the ground can’t see over tho nearest clod of dirt. And ; then there’s the inevitable temptation in his position to the person with more feet than gentlemanly in stincts.' MARION I*.

Main No, it isn’t the -Boilermakers’ Union holding a convention; it’s just Mister Alderfer’s Political Sci ence At 0 o’clock this very morning you will, do, or di.d have the unusual opportunity to see a num ber of apparently sane students lugging fine large boilers up the campus and into SLA building. It all came about thusly. Mr. Aldcrfer had the temerity to announce a blue book for the last day of school before vacation; A large number of ME students came back at him with the protest that they had scheduled boiler tests for that same day. He, being nothing if not fair minded,'made the mistake of relenting and saying that anybody'who could, bring a boiler to class would be exempted from the Pol. Sci. quiz.
