Hetzel Proposes Reestablishment Of Wages, Provision for Retirement "Efficient, enthusiastic and loyal service on the part of the College per sonnel can best be guaranteed, first by the earliest practicable re-estab lishment of salary scales, and second by provision at the earliest practic able date for an adequate plan of re tirement and pension." These salient points were included in a recent report made by . President Ralph D. Hetzel to the trustees of the College. Dr. Hetzers survey includ ed recent trends and readjustments connected with this institution. "Recent developments and trends seem to justify the assumption that in the near future we will• be able to transfer gradually the emphasis in institutional planning from the hard necessity of restraint and restriction to the more normal process of plan ning for efficient, constructive work," Dr. Hetzel said. • "Some changes in organization, par ticularly designed to bring about at better correlation of work and a clear er definition of objectives, particular ly in curricula dealing with profes sional courses, seem highly desirable," the. preSident believes.

LECTURE Recordings of Gilbert-Sullivan Music Will Feature Talk Tomorrow Night In concluding the twenty-fourth an nual Liberal Arts lecture series, Prof. William L. Werner of the department of English literature will discuss "Gil bert and Sullivan" in the Home Eco nomics auditorium at 7 o'clock tomor row night. Prof. Werner will discuss the works of Sir William Gilbert and Sir Ar thur Sullivan. These two men col laborated on comic opera in the 1880's and '9o's, producing the most success ful examples of this type of literature in English history. Divided Into 2 Parts At one time over forty companies were acting simultaneously in the Gilbert and Sullivan operas. Prob ably their best known works were "Pinafore," which was presented twice by the Thespians, "The Mikado," "The Pirates of Penzance," "lolan the," and "Trial by Jury." Prof. Werner's lecture will be divid ed into two parts. Half of the hour will be devoted to a consideration of the satire of Gilbert as applied to his day as well as to our own. The rest of the hour will be spent in playing vic trola records to illustrate Sullivan's diversity of treatment. The illustra tions will be taken chiefly from the "Pirates of Penzance." Professor Werner was graduated from Muhlcnberg Collage in 1915. Several years later he came here to 'become an associate professor in the English literature department. Ite took his Master's degree here in 1922 and has since done graduate work in Columbia University, the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Clermont-Ferrand in. France. SHOW!'

The improved employment situation, which has offered positions to advan ced students who could find no work last year, and the retrenchment pro gram of the College, which has re duced the number of part-time teach ing positions giving financial assis tance were marked as reasons for the drop in last year's enrollment figures. Enrollment is increasing in corres pondence classes; class instruction is increasing .both in numbers of units and in enrollment of individual class es; requests for publications are in creasing; in short, every branch and function of the extension organiza tion is being called upon for enlarged service, the report states. The report also discussed student initiated campuS reforms, including publication of financial transactions and expenditures; .the progress made by the College library in the past two years, and the need for a new build ing; and the changes and proposed changes in the curricula of the vari ous schools.
