At the 'first meeting, all applications for release from, and shortening, of cus toms will be considered. • This year , the student interpretive and punitive body will follow a' con stitution. draWn up by the College committee on.custdms, of which Wil liam J.

General forms for the election of officers to the judicial body will in all probability follow the general-system used now, although the method of election of the president of the body will be altered, agcording to members of the committee in charge of draft ing the new constitution. It is-an attempt to remove-as much as possible the mockery of former Tribunal . trials, as well as to. elim inate chance of partiality due to fraternity affiliations, 'that the new code specifies closed meetings of the staff. This'year, as before, Tribunal will be the, sole judge of those who may be excused from customs, • No other, body or any one person has au thority. , In an interview last night, Suchors pointed out 'several .violations of the customs code that , have been much in 'evidence during the first few days under the rules. • First year men wearing knickers must wear all black sox, black anklets over colored stock ings are not sufficient while no sweat ers may be worn by freshinen unless under a coat or jacket, he noted. "The greatest thing lacking in cus toms procedure. this year is the lack of the old. Tenn State, Hello,'" the chairman declared. "It is in this in stance' above all others that makes one realize that it is, only by 'the co operation of the entire student body that customs can be • enforced and perpetuated. It's up to all upper classnien, not merely the sophomores, and not merely the upperclass mem bers of tribunal. Until everyone co operates, the 'Hello'-'custom, as well as all others, will be ineffective." ' OCT. 15 DEADLINE SET FOR SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS Applications for the John W.

EDMONDS SPEAKS IN SUNDAY CHAPEL Declares That College Is No More Than Laboratory Where We ' Pointing out that in the strictest sense College is no more than a lab oratory in which young men search for truth, Dr% Franklin S. Edmonds, Philadelphia lawyer, addressed the first chapel service of the College year in Schawb auditorium Sunday morn ! inn\ "Reform of society must come from within, rather than from outside forces," the chapel speaker explained. ,':Changes in the structure of sociey will do no good towards remedying present (lay evils. Cheaters and 'chis lers' will work just as well under any 'new deal' as under the old. What is really needed is a change in ideals; a change in the inner noon." The Philadelphia tax specialist de clared that the modern generation. has advantages over his generation in all but one thing, ability to respect the ideals of others. "Until the moderns learn to have tolerance in regard to the accomplishments of others, they have a long way to gq," he added. "In forty years great changes have taken place in the scientific and engi neering worlds. However, hardly an alteration has taken .place in life it self; in thb souls of men during all that time. To turn our attention to the need for changes in the personali ties of today's young people is our great need," he concluded. LEIVIS TO ATTEND MEETING Representing Penn State, Willard P. Lewis, College librarian, will attend the annual meeting of the American Library association to be held in Chi cago from 'October 10 to 20.

Gets 5 Opportunity to vie for a new Woolens Athletic association trophy is offered all woolen's dormitories with the adoption of an intramural point system by the W. A. A. Board at its meeting last Tuesday. 'Tourn aments will be held in eight sports, opening with the volleyball competi tion this fall. With basketball as the major con test, indoor volleyball, deck tennis, shuffleboard, and badminton will form the minor tournaments during the winter season, during which one woman may represent. her group in only two sports, according to board ruling. Tennis and baseball, the spring season's competition, will close the contest. Will Transfer Interclass Points Ten points will be awarded the dormitories which win the champion ships in the major sport tournaments, while a minor sport championship will count five points, according to the new system. One point Will be given for each victory or advance up the tourn ament ladder. A transfdr of points from, the pres ent W. A. A. interclass point system to the new intramural record is an important feature, according to Doris M. - Acker '34, president of the Women's Athletic association. "Any points a girl has acquired will he ad ded to the, points dier' dormitory has' accumulated on its ..intramural sport record," she explained, "although the transfer will not work the other way." Points will he awarded, up to cer tain limits, for regular attendance, giving a dormitory one point for each of its members who report for two thirds 'of the scheduled practices and games. Falling below a minimum at tendance for the same percentage of practices will mean the loss of all points for that sport. Baseball Becoines Major Sport Senior women trying to earn their numerals or "S" sweaters must earn I the necessary points before Move-up day this year, according to the board, which also made several minor changes in the W. A. A. interclass point sys tem. "S" sweaters or blazers are to be awarded in the future not 'only on the basis of an accumulation of 125 points but also on standards of scholarship and sportsmanship set by the board. Baseball has been raised to a ma jor sport position while track has been changed to a minor sport in the in terclass system. A more just award of points for managers was another of the changes which the board made to improve the system. Copies of both the point systems will be posted on the bulletin board . in SszAllister ! hall and will he given to all fratern ity or dormitory representatives. A hike for freshmen women to the new W: A. A. cabin on Saturday af ternoon was also planned by the board. Freshmen planning to go are asked to sign up on the, bulletin board in McAllister hall. Cider, pretzels, and apples will be served to officially "open tiro house." Songs, dances and general enter tainment for n Women's mass meet ing to be held at 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon were planned by the IV. A. A. board in an attempt to revive the old custom Of women's meetings. Men tion of the new intramural point system will be made in addition to a short explanation of changes in the interclass system. Managers for sports of the fall season will be selected at the board meeting tonight. Interclass hockey practice and intramural volleyball will start soon after these appoint ments have been. made WORKMEN DISCOVER STREAM UNDER NEW DAIRY BUILDING Discovery of an underground stream of water by workmen engaged in de termining the firmness of the rock for the foundation of the new Creamery Dairy building has uncovered the rea son for the settling of the old founda tion, contractors believe.
