Des pite the dean’s modesty, his let ter is lively news.) * * * To the Editor: In some issue when you’re a little short on lively news—like most of your readers I prefer reading lively news to letters like this one—l’d like to say what I think I’d do if I were an under graduate in college now. Of course I speak as one who is re moved from his undergraduate .years by more than* a quarter of a century. . I think I- see that some of these days this current period of war will end, and then there’ll be one devil of a mess to clean up. At least that is the opportunity that young men have found after every other major war in years past. Some very able men will have to help reshape the inter national lay-out; others, of lesser ability perhaps, will have major re-adjustments in this country’s internal affairs to make; thous ands of others will have smaller, hut quite important, assignments. : (Continued on.

Political Leaders Preen Feathers For Spring Elections Campaign Although there is-comparative quiet on Penn State’s, political front, Campus and Independent class cliques will spring into ac tion this weekend to boom cam pus leaders for nominations, most of them slated for either Monday or Tuesday. That the battle for All-College and class posts will not be-as “hot and heavy” as in former years is the consensus of both Campus and Independent party leaders. Reasons for a more peaceful election this spring, they inti mated, were that the early elec tions on March 11, 12, and 13, will stymie any chances for planned campaigns and place a bigger burden on the proposed party platforms.

New IM Scoring System Proposed By AA President A-new intramural scoring sys tem eliminating points for var sity athletes and simplifying the point scoring was proposed yes terday by Jack W.

Highlights of the plan are these: 1. ' Varsity athletes, managers, and numeral winners are elimi nated from the scoring irr order to make the competition strictly intramural. 2. Instead of an individual scoring system for each sport, complication is relieved by divid ing the sports into three classes for scoring: (a).

WEATHER— Probable Rain : Or Snow PRICE THREE CENTS Hefzel Predicts Boom In fraternity Fortunes By DONALD W. DAVIS, JR. '43 Interfraternitv Council unan imously adopted its newly re vised constitution last night in cluding the two much discussed by-laws stipulating $lOO compen sations for the president and. treasurer of the Council.

Hetzel made this state ment: “If fraternity groups will accept it with a genuine desire to' make, the most of it, I feel cer tain that there will be a marked advance in fraternity fortunes. - ’ Other important changes in the constitution deal with the organ ization of two affiliated associa tions, made up of fraternity treasurers and caterers. These groups will attempt to solve their fraternity problems in a manner similar to IFC. To coordinate the activities of all three, a Board of Control is to be set up. Ac cording to another new by-law. IFC’s treasurer will be bonded in the sum of $l,OO. The Council decided to con tinue sponsoring interfratemity sings as conducted last year. The finals in this contest will be held during intermission of IF Ball, April 4. Proposal of an interfraternity bridge tournament prompted IFC president H. Edward Wagner a committee under Robert L.
