Business Office Phone 292-W FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1933 BECAUSE OF EXISTING economic conditions, the awarding of College scholarships in recent years has been made with financial necessity an outstanding fac- tor. That some reward, not necessarily of intrinsic val- ue, should be set up for the recognition of scholastic at- tainment alone has become increasingly apparent. The establishment of the Evan Pugh scholarships by the College Senate, will, if approved by the Board of Trus- tees, provido this needed recognition. It is generally con- ceded that the monetary awards should be granted to tho most needy students of the highest scholastic rank and, accordingly, there is no point of controversy if the recipients fall outside the group that maintains only the highest scholarship and is not hard-pressed for funds. That this group should go entirely without acknowledg- ment is not consistent with the main purpose for which scholarships arc established—that of recognizing at- tainment. Serving not only to commemorate the name of an outstanding figure in the history of the College hut also providing recognition on purely a scholastic basis, tho proposed Evan Pugh awards should meet with tho approval of the Trustees and eventually take their place as distinctive honors for which undergraduates will aspire. WHEN A YEAR ago the management of the local theatres announced a program of foreign-produced pic- tures, a popular wish seemed to have been gratified. The continuance of the program, bringing to State Col- lege audiences pictures that have been discussed widely in the metropolitan press, will again this year be hailed in many quarters with satisfaction. THE BILL now being bruited about the legislature which proposes to give campus police power to make ar- rests has caused more stir than it merits. Not well- acquainted with the situation as it exists here, a few legislators fear that such a change would jeopardize the right of free speech in the’ College. The bill is further opposed on the ground that it is a step toward the re- turn of the coal and iron police, with all the evil associa- tions .that arise in that connection. That the campus polfcb'would become much changed in their relationships with the students and College community seems as im- probable as it is inadvisable. To equip them with the arrest power would make possible their use as a prac- tical force in dealing with such violations of law where immediate -detention is almost necessary in bringing of- fenders to justice. That such a change would endanger tho cherished ideal of free speech seems too far-fetched in its grizzly wickedness to be of much significance. STARTING OFF the dizzy social whirl of the sec ond semester, a free Student Union dance will be held in Recreation hall tonight. For its work in providing social functions within the budget of every student and tho resultant good effects of those gatherings, the Union is deserving of praise. Additional dances later in the year; with nominal charges for the benefit of the loan fund, should continue to receive the support of the stu dent body. ANNOUNCEMENT of a course in stenography comes as welcome news—not so much because the lack of such instruction was ever keenly felt in this depart ment but because of the fact that no College credit will bo given for the work. It is this tangible indication that thero is some difference between courses of academic standards and those that are not, which is especially appreciated. Perhaps some time in the future, when this idea has assumed wider recognition, such courses as tho required physical education, military training, hygiene, and others, no doubt, will bo stripped of their credit and honor-point basis. Whether or not they are necessary units in the equipment of every student, these courses and tho matter of which they treat are certainly not of generally accepted academic standing.

It sports a tasteful pink cover with the Campus Cop coat of arms, consisting of u revolver rampant super imposed on a pair of handcuffs eouehatit. “Well, I’ll Be Jiggered’' is the title of the featur ed article, which an editorial note informs is not in tended 'Ho convey to the render’s mind ideas which would belittle procedures of the patrol.” Here are re lated such illuminating incidents as the thrilling step ping upon of a cat, the terrorizing of a dark-skinned marauder, tho sitting upon of an electrified chair, and tho kicking by a cow of two members of the force. Tho editorial matter, they admit, is supposed to be “essentially readable,” of which we approve. How ever, when one of the Ptl. sweated out six stanzas of “Just a Campus Cop,” your correspondent folded. For after all, looking for respectable prosody in a Campus Cop is sort of like trying to find the lost chord with a ukelele. ****** Alas?, and alachman, we hope all Laßelle Tal mud's brats have korans.

We’ve stood for this kind of weather about long enough. It’s all very well to sit dreamily on the radi ator and think of Spring, with its twirpy robins per ambulating about atop the steam line across front Campus, but, as Mister Brisbane would say, WHY doesn’t the administration do something to relieve con ditions NOW?
