To the contrary the Col- lege probably has improved immeasurably since the al umnus left. With the advancement of scientific and transporta tional progress has come a closer tie-in between the col lege and the world around it. A broader significance has•been found for the phrase "preparing for life." As the article states, the college student has become real istic. Students here pinch pennies, feel the pangs of hun ger much as does civilizationmroundit. There are more students today •who are seeking college education on a slim financial margin than in the days of Siwash. They are doing it to keep pace with the social struggle for preeminence. Yesterday's limited and manufactured recreation has been replaced with recreation made possible by the movement away from isolati'on. It is not that students and citizens have become regimented, but that they have to a large degree been standardized. The college com munity is not the clan, the Economy, Pa., that it was. All this does not mean that movements to revive and foster school . spirit are out of step. It does not imply observance of customs as they are defined today should be abolished. For just as individuals strive for preem- inenee, so must groups of similhr aims and purposes Customs and spirit are forwarded today to increase school spirit and unity of purpose. But that purpose has crystallized through the. years toWard seeking a place in the world as . it is at large, and not as it is at one given spot. And it will through the years to come ROBBERY RECURRENCE AxoT HER EPIDEMIC of thievery has cropped out over the week-end. A week or so ago robberies here (..xurred. Still earlier a football player lost $1(10 from theft. Hardest hit have been fraternity houses, the thieves evidently accepting the fallacy of "where there's fraternities there's money." At any rate they seem to have found sonic. Last year two students were apprehended and convict ed of stealing. One was psyche-analyzed and released. This leniency may have minimized the fear of punish ment in the minds of those inclined to steal. Students themselves can do the best work toward solving this tendency by locking up their money and val uables. Carelessness in leaving their belongings lying around unprotected divides the blame between the per petrator of the deed and the object of his affection. At any rate the best protectioh the student can have is his own preventitive measures. It seems here that something has to be locked up and 'if it can't or won't be the burglars, it might as well be their prospective spoils. TT MUST 131 s DISCOURAGING to Bill Jeffrey and his players, possessors of State's finest athletic record and one built solely from coaching and developing of material, to have the Alumni Office omit Saturday's game with Bucknell from the posters announcing the Alumni Day program. Such carelessneas and inefficiency is inexcusable. A lot of other useless things were included on the pro gram, but a team that• is deserving of honor above all others was omitted. Such faux pas may be one reason why so few alumni subscribe to the Alumni News. THE COLLEGIAN has receiveil many complaints about the seating arrangement Saturday. While it is al ways glad to listen to student troubles and problems, the Collegian wishes to assure'one and all that it has nothing to do with seating people at athletic , contests. The closest it gets to a contest is selecting a beauty Mr. Gilbert of Old Main, Pa.,inight be a good person to hear reaction on the .new method of group seating. He might be interested in learning of Its weekness. It is a new system that was tried as an experiment. OLD MANIA In the first grmle of the Frazier street grammar school it is customary to have n short prayer before classes begin. The other day the prayer started as usual when a young lad shouted. "Teacher, I smell OEMS Woody Llewellyn's phone bill is reputed to resemble the national debt. The cause—seven phone calls in ' the post wctilc to a vormili smoothy who is wearing his i pin. The loss of this bit of bright shiny hardware has caused a lack or memory as well as the debt. May we renihal you, Woody, that formal tieo are to he worn en the big week-ends that eornell visits you, and are not to be worn in rote parades? The kappa's pet gripe is errors Phyllis. It seems that Lacy Pascoe was tired of waiting for Phyllis to get her a package of cigarettes. Lucy reached under _Salvatore S. Sala '39 Alan G. Mclntyre '39 the counter to get her own. As she touched them, Phyllis run up and hit her on the arm. The cigarettes and money flew• and Lucy heard her shout, "Don't let 1110 'catch you doing that,again." Lucille Giles 'reports that she asked Phyllis if b (Nina was in the emu and Phyllis snootily replied that she did not know the girls' names Can it he that Phyllis only knows the .1,000 boys' It all goes hack to the guy who asked ler coffee a Ia phyllis, you iCTIOW—vrm drip. _A wearer of the green was willed to go out to din ncr by a prospective employer.

Clausen in a dynamic address entitled "The Claw of the Lobster," to a capacity chapel audiene in Schwab auditorium Sun \ day. "The trouble is that we waste our power on insignilleant things, de luding ourselveir that they are crises." Doctor Clausen pointed out the as tonishing =mint of human. power poured out in football games as an example of what men can do in what they helimie to be a crisis. With half this power, Doctor Clausen believes he could raise the plane of American life. Cites Lobster as Example "livery lobster possesses ingenious rower in an emergency," Doctor Clausen elaborated, "But he has no skill in dealing with ordinary circum stances of everyday life. In this re spect, nine are like lobsters. "It's magnificent' the way people will (lie for their countries in war," cried Doctor Clausen, "If only they were willing to , exert the same forces —to live. as powerfully. for peace! But, like lobsters, most of us live for crises. We can't live every 'clay as though it were of momentous impor tance. "To live as Christ advised his fol lowers to live," Doctor Clausen con cluded, "we must tan our energies as though we were in a crisis - - must treat every man as though he were the most- important man in the world, and act in every event as if it were big in our Co-Edits Among those hack for the week-end Alpha Chi Omega: Kay Fredericks Ludy.

Cadavers In Rec Hall Satisfy Students' Desire For Realism Chemistry and physics students may deride the practability of • courses in economics, philosophy, history, etc., but for reality "in the raw," the dis secting room in the basement of Ree hall, used by physical education, pre medical, and hospital technician stu dents, probably has no equal on the campus. Back in 1932-11ugo Bezdek, then Di rector of ,the School of Physical Edu cation and Athletics, felt the need' for physical education students to learn human anatomy by actually dissecting and examining cadavers. Bezdek Pro vided a roost in Recreation Hall and facilities to institute the course under the direction of Dr. Harrison M. Tietz, of the department; of. zoology, who is still in charge. The number of students taking the course has increased from SO to a total of over 150. . One shipment of human cadavers is received each semester, the average number varying from seven to four teen, depending on the number of stu dents taking the course. Each corpse is approved by the-State Anatomical board in Philadelphia from which place the bodies are distributed for scientific purposes to all parts of thd' state. Because of rigid examination, the possibility of, the cadavers bearing contagious diseases is entirely elim inated. Added precautions are taken nevertheless—students, six of whom H. A.

Open Forums to Be Held I The Forensic Council plans to 'bring many interesting features to the campus this year in an attempt to giVe the students a well balanced I speaking program. Several open stu dent forums on questions of current !interest, an international debate, and about 50 intercollegiate debates ' are being arranged in conjunction with the men's debating team schedule.

When they have been dissected and counter-dissected, the remains of the cadavers are cremated in the College incinerator. No person is allowed to take any part of a body outside the building. The College is' required to post a bond with the Anatomical board in insure the proper care and disposal of the bodies. Dr. Tietz is convinced that there is nothing like dissection to work up the students' appetites after they harp once become acclimated to the some what gruesome business. He recalls the statement recently made by his students, "After this ;sort of work, I can't look a hamburger in the face."
