There is no doubt that with new buildings in the fu ture and a continued increase in applications for en trance here that a larger enrollment is planned in the next few years. But there is no room for that now. • There are many problems to be solved before the en- rollment can safely be increased. The College has enough welfare problems with the 5,600 students it has now without adding new ones to an unsolved list. One of the chief of these is the Health Service situa- tion which appears no nearer a desirable solution than it was this winter. Another is the housing situation. Adequate, clean, and healthy living quarters for men and women are sadly lacking here. Still another prob lem is the recreational activities of the students under the proposed new outdoor program to be fostered by the new Dean of - Physical -Education and ,Athietieltight now there is neither room nor money and personnel to supervise this. These will have to be answered before an increased enrollment is possible. Continual pressure from state taxpayers, demanding that their children be taken care of and the return of good times will be the strongest factors in bringing them to a head. PANHELLENIC PROGRESS .B REAKING AWAY from the dictatorship of the mlvioory board and officers, Panhellenic Coun- cil is stepping forward and becoming a co-oper ative organization. Mangled before by sorority pre judices and timid representatives the council became such a weak body that.it will take time to revive it com pletely. The definite progress that has been shown lately is encouraging. Adequate discussion in meeting was the 'flint ,representatives 'nre now:encOuraged to give thi4'.opiiiiitis and, if they refuse' to speak, they tire called okithe officers deliberately ICeep their own vieWS . in the background until general agreement has been reached. • Aiming to a more. harmonious feeling among' the different sororities, Panhellenic sponsored a pledge party for the whole group instead of having the individual parties as they have done in the past. Each• pledge ex plained the origin of her sorority. • The picnic sing on Holmes field Tuesday night proved that sorority women can get together on a. friendly basis without the prickling burrs of rivalry. Far from a clannish affair the women visited around and became reacquainted with friends from other sor orities. Panhellenic is steering in the right direction, and if it progresses as it has lately it will become as im portant here as on other campuses in eliminating cut throat competition and promoting a feeling of unity among sororities with different Greek letters. —S. R. 11. A STUDENT AMONG OTHER TAX-PAYERS THE NAMING OF David Ludwig as the student representative on the State College Council places upon that individual a responsibility that will luoie its share of headaches. It has only been of recent years that the students who pay taxes• and whose money keeps the town alive have been represented there, with no vote. It is still difficult to make townspeople see things the way stu dents loolc at them. It is still difficult for them to real ize how important students are to them, how import ant it is that - the money they spend here be given repre sentation. Ludwig's job will be a hard and responsible one. He can de much toward bettering student-townspeople re lationi. He can do much to instill confidence in the Council toward student activities. OLD MANIA Bill Rings the Bell Again Def,nence to the ladies is shown even by street brawling rowdies, as this yarn, current with Regis trar Bill Hoffman, will testify. A bit more than a week ago, Bill and the Missus, and George Donovan and his podner, attended a for mal (lance at the Dußois Extension Center. Walking along a lonely street at a lonely hour, the two coupres, dressed formally, happened upon two gents mauling Hell out of each other. Both were badly lacerated and bleeding freely. Courteously, but with the confi dence of a referee, Hoffman stepped toward the brawlers. "As gentlemen," he bid them, "eask you to sepa rate in order to allow the ladies to pass." The men parted. The ladies passed. Hoffman turned to the men: "Now continue fighting, boys," he said.

The lad had been so thoroughly hypnotized that he remained in a semi-comma (or is it semi -colon?) enroute to his next class in S. L. 'A.

Dean Will C. Chambers, director of summer sessions, expects this year's enrollment to exceed the 3.575 stu dents who were on the campus during the summer of 1936. Inter-session, the first of the three separate summer sessions, will take place from June 9 to June 26; the main summer session from June 29 to August 7; and the post-session from August 10 to August 2S. To Try New Experiment An experiment is being conducted this summer in interweaving courses in music and English literature. Stu dents who enroll in "Musical Litera ture of the Romantic Period" arc be ing urged to register in "World Lit erature in English: Revolution to Ro mance." This is the first Wile that these courses are being presented in an interrelated way. Other features of the sessions will be nature camps, instructions in safe driving, the French institute, adult education, demonstration classes, con smiler education, and physical educa tion facilities. High school students and graduates will take part in a speech course, the only sub-collegiate feature of the sessions. Psych Experiment Shows Up Late 8 O'clockers Never call a cc-ed a slacker. The men students'are the ones who arrive latest for their S &clocks. A class in experimental psychology with opera tors stationed at the• doors of Main Engineering and N. L. A. have found that generally the co-eds excel in promptness. With graphs and charts to prove their point; the experimenters discov ered that because the walk from down town to NL L. A. is longer than to Main Engineering, this accounts for the fact that the former building has more late arrivals than the latter. Most tafditstudents arrive within . a two-minuto'period with many walkipg in four minutes late. The 12 to'l6-minute interval has an increase in the number late. As Main Engineering has more coming in this time, it is probably caused by desire for dramatic effect in entering the labs. The class; that conducted this ex periment far practice decided from its results that co-eds' promptness is effected by dull, cloudy days and week ends. On these days the percentage of their lateness increases. One rea son • given for their superiority in promptness is that women are con sidered by some to be more serious in regard to doss work and attendance. There is a spark of hope, however, for the male student. The psychology students, encourage him with the in formation that most of the women live on campus and, thus, the build ings are neater to their dormitories. Brenneman '37 To Get P.S.C.

Under this rigid regime the co-eds have one consolation—a little game that appeals to their feline tendencies. They can turn their noisy neighbor's names in for black marks without having their sacred identities reveal ed. This must settle quite a few grudges. A few days ago one. of the girls was reported for shouting around at 11 o'clock at night. which rather irked her. as she had been given late permission and wasn't even in the dorm at the time.
