AMong the remedies the speaker list ed for human maladies are rest, and travel,: marriage, divorce, and a simple or strenuous life. Professor Frizzell mime& the four life-savers us beinework, 'play;• love, and worship, which may be defined us an act of showing reverence for something worthwhile. The lack of one ofthese abstract qualities leaves a gap in the complete makeup of living. • "What we need is something to give life unity r as'a whole to keep us from flying-MT itt random.

Grid Coaching Staff • Slowly Takes Shape By 808 GRUBB Sports Editor With the selection of a new basket ball coach still pending upon un agreement between Director Hugo Bezdek and the personnel committee of the Athletic Board of Control, it became apparent today that at least one of the vacancies existing on the Lion coaching staff is about to be It was learned on reliable author ity that Marty' McAndrews, former Lion varsity center and boxing cap tain in 1900, is to be recommended for the post of freshman football couch which will be vacated by Nels Welke, who is applying for a year's leave of absence. Appointment of McAndiews to the freshman coaching position would be the first link in the new coaching staff. Head Coach Bob Higgins is expected to recommend to Director Bezdek a new man to take a position on the varsity coaching staff. Then, with Joe Bedenk remaining as line coach, the varsity football staff would be completed by the naming of a successor to Earl S. (Spike) Leslie, who, in addition to his ditties as bas ketball coach, held a position on the football staff. McAndrews Now at Bucknell The name of McAndrews is some thing of an institution in Penn -State athletic circles. His prowess in . the boxing ring and on the gridiron won Marty the 1030 award of Outstand ing Athlete. During his senior year he:was varsity center on the football team-- and --captained • -the -ringinen. winning the light-heavyweight crown in the Eastern Association. After completing work for his mas ter's degree here in 1931, McAndrews went to Lebanon Valley where be served as assistant to Edward E. "Hooks"' Mylin. 'When Mylin went to Bucknell as head football coach the next year, Marty •accompanied him and 'has been on the Bison coaching staff ever since. • A mai fitment Not Definite While McAndrews' selection awaits final action of the Board of Trustees, his recommendation by the personnel committee and Director Bezdek is tantamount to appointment to the position. While McAndrews would fill the coaching position left vacant by Wilke, it is not probable that he will take over entirely the instruc tion duties which Walke held because he lacks certain academic qualifica tions. A current' rumor in local athletic circles concerning the selection of Dr. James G. Meanwell, now director of athletics at the University of Wiscon sin, as basketball coach seems to be without foundation. While it is known that Meanwell was one of the ap plicants for the position, it appears unlikely that he meets with the favor of the personnel committee. Prom a list of candidates for the position, the personnel committee will make a se lection when it meets June 6 and a recommendation will be mode to the Board of Trustees at that time. taVie' To Introduce Change in Design, Arrangement The 1:136 IA Vie, which, ;wcurding to editor James 11. Armstrong '36, will be available next 3londay, will introduce many new ideas and schemes of make-op, theme, and de sign. The most outstanding change is the arrangement of the various sections. Instead of the usual outline of con tents that has been used during the past few years, the following order will be employed: the College, Activi ties, Organizations, Classes, and Ath letics. A section, entitled "Glimpses," is composed of various pictures of ath letic champions. as well as scenes from the May Day ceremonies, Com mencement exercises, athletic events, the gridiron dance, and other activi ties of the past year. Another new feature is the lay-out used in the fraternity section. The picture of the house is along the out er margin of the page, balanced on the other side by the seal of the or ganization. In the portion devoted to honorary societies, pictures of the groups are not used this year, but a list of the names, several organiza tions to the page, arc given.
