College Health Service; and Arthur R. War nock, Dean of Men. - Fellows Editorials Announcement of the committee fol iowS - closely after two,COLLEGIAN ed itorials -in the issues of February 23 and 26, advocating administration ac tion in the Health Service. Morse said, however, that the President had given the members of the committee memoranda telling of their appoint ment on February 18. No reason was given as to why the investigation had not'been revealed before.' Morse said that the committee would 'have seven definite things in mind when it made its survey and re port of recommendation to the Pres ident: • l'rinrram of Action 1. What is the College Health Se vice 'doing now? 2. What of .those services could It do better? •3. What additiorial services should c.i. ,oes need to do these additional things? , 5. What would - these additional services cost? 6. Where would such money could from? 7. The separate' question. of free hospitalization. . This last consideration , is the out•' growth of a student opinion expres sed in campus elections last spring when there was a heavy favoring of an increase in health fees to make possible free hospitalization. • Morse pointed out that there is no accurate method available . to deter mine how many students would use a free service in comparison to the number who use the present•infrmary system. He said that it appeared that should any such recommendation be included in the committee's report, College's Laziest Man To Receive Brown Derby Who will be the ..wearer of the brown derby this year is a question that is rising in the minds of. campus leadem• today 'as Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity, continues its 'preparations for its an nual Gridiron banquet scheduled .for the Nittany Cion lon on Thursday March 18. Each year, the fraternity presents a brown derby to.the graduating sen ior whom it deeMs has, gone through college with the least amount of effort . Many similar awards will be made at the banquet, such is a big red bomb to the .most radical person on the campus. A lily also will be pre sented to an appropriate person.

It is during these • presentations that-the audience will learn how Maisie,saved the Syracuse game, how Penn State returned to the forest primeval, and how vitally necessary the nevi College 'building.program is. Invitations are being sent this week to many campus leaders; Col lege administration officials, and faeL ulty. Governor George H. Earle and President Ralph D. Hetzel will be among those tendered invitations. The banquet will be patterened to some extent 'aftet the annual Grid iron Banquet of the National Press Club in Washington where prominent figures' are roasted in good fun, and where they make 'off the record" remarks. thene.wpuld be qualifying sections to limit and regulate the use of such a service. It is understood that when the President receives the committee re port, it will be submitted to the Board of Trustees for action. ' Morse could make_ no estimate as to how soon the report would be ready, but. it' is thought that it will require several months' time.

The CULLMAN poll proves this conclusively along with three other points which we have believed for sonic time and which prompted our campaign to have the rule abolished. It has established that: s The majority of co-eds drink here and while they are away from school. .2) An overwhelming majority feel that the rule against drinking is not being enforced. 3) Only 'a very small group would object to other girls drinking moderately if there were no rule against it. W. S. G. A. is now conducting its own campaign to determine co-ed sentiment on the question. Perhaps the whole business has been brought sufficiently into the open during the past few weeks that women will not be afraid to say what they think. If that is the case, W. S. G. A.'s finding will merely duplicate our own. If their conclu sions are different, it will simply mean that the co-eds still feel toe heavily the preszure of "what the other girls will think" to openly say what they honestly believe.

Instructor- Commits Suicide Ira Dis Singer's Body Discovered In Thicket Near Sunbury; 1 Death by Poison "This is the city dump, I believe." This ironic end to a brief note found in his trousers led Sunbury po lice to believe today that Ira T. C. Dissinger, of the department of Eng lish composition, bad committed sui cide with slew poison. Ili: hat pulled down over his eyes and his hands in his pockets, Dis singer's dead body was discovered by two boys in a thicket in Sunbury Sat urday. Dissinger, who had been missing from State College since Monday morning when he boarded a bus for Sunbury, had been despondent for several weeks, his roommate, .R. M. Roney, also an English composition instructor, said. 131:1!=l9 Dr. A. .1. Ancerawaico, acting cor oner of Northumberland county, trac ed what arc believed to have been Dissinger's actions since he left State College, and decided that no inquest would be necessary to determine the suicide theory. No autopsy will be made'unless requested by the family, the coroner said. Funeral services for Dissinger were held yesterday in Sunbury, his home town. The coroner's investigation uncov ered a small bottle believed to have contained slow poison iron hotel room in Sunbury where Dissingo• had reg istered Monday, paying in advance because he had checked his bag in the nearby railroad station. It is thought that Dissingo• swal lowed the poison in his hotel room and then wandered out to die in the thicket. Searching, parties had been seeking the man Friday when Roney had notified Sunbury police of the English instructor's disappearance through Dissinger's relatives. The note found on Dissingo• said: "Please notify Ann Welker, of 1132 North Front Street, Sunbury, or Bosse Beek, of Arch Etreet, Sunbury. Arrived here Feb. 23. This is the city dump, I believe." Prof. Theodore .1. Gates, head of the department of English composi tion, said that in a phone talk with the Mis's Welker mentioned, she claimed the ncte gave no immediate cause for the believed action, but that general despondency was the reason. Ile said that the disappearance on Monday of Dlisinger was not made public in hope that the instructor could be brought back to continue in his posit inn. PRICE FIVE CENTS 450 Returned Ballots Show 68% Drinkers Large Majority Sees No Objection To Use •of Liquor 82% Say Enforcement Of Rule Is Insufficient Complete results of the COLUMAN poll to . determine co-ed opinion on the question of drinking show that 67.0 per cent drink while• away from Col lege, that 5(3.4 per cent drink while attending College, and that 60.5 per cent favor the abolition of the pres sent rule which prohibits co-'ed drink ing. Approximately 450 returned bal lots. Other result., show that only 18.9 per cent feel that the present• rule is being efficiently enforced. An over whelming majority of 80.2 per cent say that they would not object to moderate drinking if there were no rule against it. Most Drink on Big Week-ends Over half, 56 per cent a those who drink while attending College do so in fraternities and apartments. About 53 per cent drink out-of-town while attending College. Local beer gardens account for 3S per cent. Most of the drinking, apparently, is done over big week-ends for this was the item most often checked-128 times—when the voter.; were asked to tell how often they drank. Sixty seven drink only once or twice a year and thirty-one: once-,a ; ,-month. Only eleven girls drink once a week. Forty eight say they drink "anytime they can." The poll was conduited by the wom en's junior editorial hoard of the Cot vows:, assisted by other women on the paper, •and several interested co eds., An attempt was made to make ballots available for all women living in fraternities and dormitories and for several days last week ballots were available at the Student Union office fel'• ttny women who were missed. All balloting was anonymous, the only personal information requested being for the class and whether or not the voter belonged to a fratern ity. On the whole there was little difference in opinion between these various groups with the exception of the freshman class. A slight major ity of the freshmen drink away front College but only 'about one-third of them drink while in school. The announced purpose of the bal lot, printed on each of them, was "to find out what cc-eds themselves think about .. . co-ed drinking . before taking a more definite stand on the question." The editorial in this issue explains the COLLEGIAN'S present stand.
