INCREASE IN STUDENT
PROBATION LIST SHOWN
Number of Failures Last Semestft.,
Estimated Lower Than Before
The student probationary list is
much larger this year than it has been
for quite some time, it was learned
through an interview with the Dean
of Men Arthur R.. Warnock. Al
though there has be . en no official list
published of those students who have
officially been ousted from the Col
lege, it is estimated that the number
of• failures were somewhat smaller
than in preceding. years.
The Deans . of the various Schools
feel that a. student's intellectual and
practical knowledge would be greatly
advanced 'were he able to secure, em
ploment in his specific field for a per
iod of time. As a result, it has been
the principle of the College to keep
the probationary list as small as pos
sible, according to Dean Warnock.
However, owing to the scarcity 'Of
jobs, the' Dean of Men explained, it
has been ddemed advisable to carry
the student 'along on probation for
another:semester,'as his only alterna
tive would be::the street. ..
Dean Warnock expressed the belief
that as employment picks up, the Col
lege will , becorne stricter- regarding
the flunk-outs.- •

`Hell Week' Visitors
Cautioned To Avoid
Police Chief's Home
Warning to the Young Bloods:
Chief of Police Albert E. Yougel' wish
es the student body to know that he is
well and happy and that his wife can
use a shot gun. All of which goes to
show that freshmen on "Hell Week"
assignments had better refrdin from
visiting Chief Yougel at his home late
at night, or in fact, any time.
"If you would care to learn more
about this," he continued, "Mrs. Yong
el practiced in'Texas, where we spent
last suMmer.and if any students both
er you, just let me know," he smiling
ly told a freshman woman reporter of
the' COLIEGIAN yesterday.
"I also want to warn students
against„ parking their cars in the
'downtown district and in front of fra
ternity-houses all night as they are in
the - habit of doing," Chief Yougel
stated. "They are likely to awake
some morning to be brought before the
Burgess to be 'fined."

.Most • students are in sympathy,
with the purpose of the public works
program, of putting men to, work.
But some students are convinced that
a much wiser, use than building, ar
mories could be found for public funds
social, civil, and other projects of
unquestionable' ,Value . .Which would
not result in recurring,expense to the
taxpayer. And after all, should they
have no say in these matters? Should
sttidents have no voice in - .deciding
whether they.are to:be - prepared for
Cannon fodder, to live in another de
pression, and. to, face, the threat of
dictatorial regiMes, or whether they
are to live in a• world society provid
ing freedom, equal opportunity, and
a sense of security?
I ask you, Mr. Editor: who has a
better right to protest than they—
the near -voters, the near-taxpayers,
and the near-cannon fodder of the
nation? , •

To the Editor
In the light of the resolution of a
member of the Borough Planning
Commission,. one is inclined to ques
tion just what is'being planned for es
of the younger generation.. yVe are
beginning to realize the futility of
attempting to enforce our so-called
democracy and tole;;ance upon a 'world
torn nearly asunder by the Franken
stein which Uncle .Sain himself help
ed to create.. We' question whether
the best in' our civilization can be sal-
I.vaged by reliance upon primitive and
stupid means that are so brilliantly
Clothed in the 'industrial mechaniza
tion of modern war. • •
If we are to consider ourselves en
titled to the description of being ad
vanced and :educated youth, we must
refuse to depend so complacently upon
the War Department's method of con
tributing to. the Penn State of the fu
ture. In the attempts to study and
solve . as best we can the problems
handed down. to our generation we
must stoutly resist the intolerances
and selfish prejudices that marked
the inefficient leadership of our el
deri." And tho' we cannot hope to
find. Utopian solutions, we protest
against a path spelling retrogression.
Student opinion In these matters is
not to be taken lightly. As the many
are educated, they Will rebel against
pulling the chestnuts out 'of the fire
