Pitt defeat was made the bitterer for Penn Stite sport fans. 1.-Tad the game been the first on. the schedule, had the Lions gone on to take everything after that pad finished with a 25-0 victory over N.Y.U., everything would have been glorious by now. The record reads the same either way: Six vic tories. one tie, one defeat—,better than any other Penn State football team since 1921. Out of the .season has emerged, too, a Penn State All-Ameri can, the first since 1923. Hats off then to a great captain, a ,great team, and a great season. The College - Considers Assistance For The Dean Of Men Whether the College will increase the size of the Dean of Men's office as recommended by the All ,College Cabinet and the Dean himself is no .longer a matter of whether 'this change is desirable. Since the suggestion has been made publicly there has appeared no opposition to it. Everyone, : from President Hetzel down, has expressed ap• proval of the general outlines of the plan. It is reasonable to believe that, knowing this. the Board of Trustees will also approve. The reasons for not appointing the desired as sistants now are wholly financial. If the College had the financies it considers necessary for full and best operation of its plant the assistant deans would already be at work. The truth is that the College probably never has had all the money it thinks it .needs, at least not for long. Like a growing boy, even its biggest suit is soon too small. There are apparently two course: the College can follow: (1) It can enlarge the Dean of Men's office right away out of funds held back for an emergency; or (2) It can wait until the State legislature and Governor James decide on the 1941-43 biennial appropriation to the College and hope to finance -the change from the increased appropriation the College has asked. Each of these courses deserves brief considera tion. The emergency funds whiCh the College holds hack could be used to enlarge the Dean's office at .once. Is the matter an emergency? •The members of the All-College Cabinet committee who talked the plan over with President iletzel agreed that it is not. Only a nincompoop would argue that it is. The plan, however, is worthy ,of adoption as soon as that adoption can be effected without ser ious inconvenience to the College. That should be no later than next year. The Governor and the legislature in January will begin consideration of the biennial budget which goes into effect on June 1, 1941. In this budget, the College hopes to .be granted an in crease of approximately one and a half million dollars over the 1939-41 biennium. The increase is regarded as entirely necessary if the College is to operate its expanded physical plant acid effective ly instruct its fast-growing enrollment. Somewhere among these million and a half ex tra dollars are several thousand earmarked to ex t ,pand the Dean of Men's office. But suppose the full increase is not granted? Records show that the budget has grown less slow ly that the College would like it to. /nA.93.1 7 .33 be figure was . $4,,009,000; in depression-ridden 1933- :35 it was p,7.08,,0,0; in 1,935-,37 it was 4 3 ,;79.8,99.; in 1937-39 it was $4;275,000; and in 1939 3 0 it is .$4,425;000.

Murray !42 Nation's Students Attend Classes Conscientiously AUSTIN, Texas, 'November 24.—How serious is the . problezn of class cutting? Are ,many college students wasting•their time by failing to appear at lectures? How often does the average student cut -a class? Those are questions that have perhaps been an swered locally in many schools, but a .national study, as far as is known, has heretofore never been possible. Student Opinion Surveys of Am erica, leaving the field of social and political issues this week, has used its coast to coast structure to measure the extent of class cutting going on today on the American campus. The survey reveals that a good majority (62 per cent) during a typical week in October attended all their classes. The remainder of the students interviewed (38 per cent) declared that they had cut at least once. But over half of these (20 per cent) missed class only one time during the week. Cut no classes during week Cut one class Cut two classes Cut three classes Cut four or more classes Less than one per cent of the students refused to answer the question or did not remember. Tests conducted by the Surveys have shown that on questions such as this very few students fail to give truthful answers; so the results above should give a satisfactory indication of conditions over the nation. The entire United States is represented because the schoOls in which the polls are conducted, in cluding Penn State, make up a proportionate sam ple o.t all types of educational institutions as listed by the U. S. Office of Education. In connection with this poll, it may be recalled that last February 64 per cent of the collegians in a Survey expressed the opinion that compulsory class attendance should be abolished. Although the frequency of attendance is quite uniform from one section of the country to anoth er, New Englanders and Southerners appear to be at the two extremes. In the north-east corner of the nation cuts are at a minimum, only 25 per cent of the students having missed one or more classes during the week of the poll. In the South over half of them, 57 per cent, said they had cut at least Thanks to Fred Waring's Chesterfield Pleasure Time for the copies of "The Hills of Old Penn State" that were distributed to the music depart ment and other interested groups. More copies are on the way and we are told they will be given to fraternity and sorority groups.
