Student Leaders Advocate Enforcement of Customs • Ryan, Anderson, Suchors, Pruitt Favor Strict Adherence to Tribunal Regulations "If freshman customs are to be con tinued at Penn State, they should be strictly enforced. If they can not 'be enforced properly, they should be abolished entirely," declared John T. Ryan '34, newly-elected senior. class President, in commenting on the criticism that has been directed at the Student Tribunal and its work. This sentiment Was also expressed by William C. Anderson, president of next year's Tribunal, by, William J. Suchors '34, chairman of the commit tee appointed by Student Council to investigate the tribunal, mid by J. Briggs Pruitt '36,. sophomore class president and tribunal secretary. They stated that •the enforcement of cus toms has lagged :noticeably during the past few years.

He declared that he would seek the cooperation of mem: bers of campus societies in reporting violations; and in. enforcing punish ments meted mit to offenders. "I believe .that with a few minor changes, customs should be left as they were this year," Pruit said. "I am in favor of lifting all ,regulations at the end of the first semester, since other schools stop them by that time. VOLUNTEERS ENTER MEMORIAL PARADE Herbert R.

It was established after very exhaustive study participated in by students, alumni, faculty, and trustees, and it is in keeping with the current trend of policy and organization in the leading col leges and universities of the coun try. It, makes physical education and athletics a part of the educa tional program of the College and provides for the largest measure of student participation under the di rection of teachers and coaches who are members of the College faculty. "We are still in the transitional period between the old order and the new, but we are making grati fying progress. Naturally there are problems concerning the ad ministration of the new policy which must be settled upon their merits as they arise. "It is to be expected that during the transitional period the College intercollegiate teams will be under some measure of handicap, par ticularly in competition with the colleges which have not yet adopt ed the new policy. However, the fact that this institution was one of the first in the East to adopt the new order. will give our intercol legiate teams a corresponding ad vantage as time goes on and other institutions come into line. The new policy should mean stronger intercollegiate athletic teams be cause of the, more extensive par ticipation in sports and games on the part of the student body. Un der able and expert instruction and coaching there will be a natural de velopment of student athletic skills which will provide better and more plattiful material for the College sports teams. '.'Every day, bring.S..added, : proof that the new policy is in harmony with the most progressive develop ments in the field of higher educa tion." R. D.

Of Control PAJAMA I'ARADE HELD TO SHOW DISAPPROVAL Wood, Ryan Disperse Carouseis After Explaining Results Of Former Events Complete confidence in the athletic policy of the College was expressed by• President Ralph D. Hetzel in a statement relative to the institutional athletic program which was released to the COLLEGIAN yesterday morning. Student sentiment favoring the re tention of Prof. Nate J. Cartmell, who recently tendered his resignation as Lion track mentor, has been aired by means of petitions sponsored by in dividual organizations and by a mass demonstration in the form of a "pa jama parade." Wood Halts Parade At least three petitions agitating for the retention of Professor Cart melt were known to be circulating among the undergraduates since Tues day. One petition was confined to members of the track team alone, while the other two were circulating among pro-Cartmell adherents in the student body at large, according to reports. About 150 freshmen protested against the possible dismissal of Coach Cartmell by a "pajama parade" Wed nesday night. The parade formed at 0:45 o'clock but was broken up after John A. Wood '33 and John T. Ryan '34, retiring president and president elsct of the senior class, explained the possible consequences of such ac tion. Intervention Explained As a representative of Student Board, Wood explained that, any dam age clone would be taken out of the deposits for military equipment. To prove that Student Board is vested with the authority to carry this into effect, Wood pointed out a test case in 1927 when costs for damages clone to College property were defrayed from 11. 0. T. C. deposits. "Our sole object in breaking up the rally was to acquaint the fresh man participants of possible results," Wood said when explaining his ac tion. "In the past it has always been the case that upperclassmen enter these freshman 'pajama parades' and do the damage. They know that they will' not be blamed and that, each freshman will be saddled with the costs." Petitions Circulated "Our interference was only to in form the participants that they would be made to defray all of the expenses for possible damage, regardless of who was to blame," Wood continued. "Since Student Board has complete executive authority over general stu dent discipline, we thought it best to explain what has generally happened in the past." Although the petition circulated among members of the track team was not unanimously signed yester day, its backers were expecting to have the action unanimous, it was reported. About 250 names had been signed to each of the petitions cir culating among the undergraduate student body at large. DR. DARROW WILL TALK HERE TODAY, TOMORROW Director or New York Laboratory.
