DISPENSARY ADOPTS DIEHL
COLD TREATMENT METHOD
A new ',method in the treatment
of the common cold, which was ad
opted by the College health .depart
ment this winter, was developed by
Dr. Harold S. Diehl, a former resi
dent of State College and present di
rector of the health service at the
University of "Minnesota. -
The treatment, which is successful
only in the early stages of the eV,
'has been copyrighted and is sold by
only one company in the country.
The method was discovered by ex
periment .at the Minnesota dispen
sary. It depends upon a certain com
bination of drugs which was found to
be almost invariably effective in cur
ing the cold. Dr... Diehl first pub
lished his findings in the Journal of
the American Medical Association in
December.

To Seek Studetit Attitude
Seeking the stud4nt attitude on
practical preventives';of major armed

The final question 'o the ballot will
ask, "Do you favor ;discontinuing all
commercial relationgiwith belligerent
nations (so far as'l,eismpatible with
the League covenant?)" The League
covenant advocates'this measure only
as a last resort.

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.

Host To Matmen
COACH CHARLIE SPEIDEL
WERNER WILL GIVE
LAST L. A. 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.

Twelve students took the sixth
herdsman's short course held here
last week. Men came from all sec
tions of the State for the course and
their ages ranged from 16 to 42
years
siltation would be in a position to
maintain and strengthen that most
vital element in educational organiza
tion—an efficient, self-respecting, en
thusiastic, and loyal staff," he stated.
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.
