“There.has been a decided advance

• “The outstanding successful feature
here has been the added interest and
consequent rise in scholarship.”
“It is’ a'strong factor in raising the

of nine national fraternities which

COUNCIL APPROVES
MEDALS PROPOSAL
Honor Society Body Will Submit
Senior Awards Plan to
Trustee Board
The proposal for awarding honor
medals to high-standing seniors was
passed by the Honor Society Council
at its meeting Wednesday afternoon,
Benjamin L. Wise ’33, president of the
organization, has announced.
Submission of the plan to the Board
of Trustees for its approval at the
next meeting will be necessary before
the proposal will, go into effect, Wise
stated. A committee appointed by .the
council first ■ formulated the new
system early this month," and it is-ex
pected it will be passed 1 on.by the end
of February, according :to Wise.
To Decide On Average
. In former years it.has'been the cus
tom of the Honor Society Council to
award medals for, high to
sixty members of the iTreshman and
sophomore classes. By. the new plan
seniors with high averages, who do
not receive scholarships or. fellow
ships, wiH be presented with the hon
orary-awards.' •' - k
.. “When the system of awarding the
medals to high scholastic, men and
w.omen in the freshman and sopho
more classes was started there was
no other recognition for high scholar
ship. among- the undergraduates,”
-Wise said, commenting on the pro*
'posed system. believe that the
.recently organized, undergraduate
! scholarship honoraries confer suffi
cient honor for freshmen, and sopho
mores,”. he added.

ate committee- on academic standards
will decide on the scholastic average
the seniors must obtain in order to
receive one of the medals, while pres

33 Fraternities Favor ‘Hell Week ’ in
Present Form, Questionnaire Shows
' “Hell Week,” in its present form on
the Penn State campus, is favored by
thirty-three of fifty-two fraternity
presidents, who replied to a question
naire distributed this week. However,
the survey revealed a decided ten
dency toward moderation of the In
formal initiation, period.
Defending the traditional prepar
atory period, one fraternity leader
pointed out that the informal initia
tion has been an institution in the
Penn State fraternity life for so long
a time that it has become a custom —
something for the active,members to
look forward to.
“To take it away would mean taking
away part of the fraternity from'both
the freshmen and the actives. The
type of initiation referred to is of the
Mess severe’ class, and when such is
used, ho particular harm will be done
to the freshman,’ ’’ he concludes.
A second president favoring the
period believes that “llcll Week” tends
to bind together the men in the class,
while another declares that “since
College Customs have conic to be pf
such smull consequence, I believe
that the .freshmen should-have some
taste of College life in respect to cus-

for. the faculty student loan fund, cr

Appreciation Expressed
Student aid not* comprehended in
the faculty student loan fund is being j
studied by the disbursing committee,j
in addition to consideration of the |
need for relief in the College town-)
ship and Centre county, the report]
states. An unexpected demand for:
aid for undernourished students as
well as those financially unable toj
secure needed treatment at the Col-j
lege infirmary is responsible for study!
of further student relief. j
.The report also expresses the ap-j
predation of the committee for the
•response since January'lo, the num
ber of contributors and the total
amount pledged having almost doubled:
since that time. A total of 220 j
pledges had been received on Jan
uary 10.
May Designate .Donation
Contributions to the fund may be

which will be maintained in later j

• Athough the number of - contribu-J
tors to' the fund does not compare]
with that'of last year at this time,'
the committee has pointed out that
the average' contribution compares*
favorably in amount with that of the!

I CONFINED TO INFIRMARY
Four students, three men and a
woman, have been confined to the in

College physician. • Residents of the
houses of the confined students have
been given tests to determine their

toms.” A desire to test a man’s phy
sical courage, as well ns his mental
traits and abilities' was another rea
son given for retention of the “Hell
Week.”
That the stigma which now sur
rounds the ordinary conception of
“Hell Week” • should be removed, is
the belief of one of the fraternity
leadcis questioned, although he de
clared himself against total abolition
of' the preparatory program.
In the opposition to the opinions of
those favoring retention of “Hell
Week,” nineteen presidents united in
characterizing the period as a “relic
of medieval times,” “of little value
to the fraternity,” and “too collegiate
for this institution.”
“It. serves no purpose except to les
sen any fraternal-spirit which a pledge
may have gained during his pledge
.period, and interrupts the life of. the
whole organization for a number of
days,” declares one opponent. An
other claims that it is “a waste of
time and energy, is more of a burden
to' the active chanter than to the
pledges, and that men will think no
more of the fraternity after a severe
‘Hell Week’.”
