HetzePs Talk Praises
Student Self-Reliance
But He Urges'Faculty
To Sympathetic Aid
High praise for what he called'
“the growing student self-govern
ment” was expressed last night
hy President Ralph D. Hetzel" in
a talk before 200 members of the
College faculty and staff.
He urged the faculty to sup
plement this, self-responsibility
on the part of the students “in
days when our. young people are
increasingly uncertain about
their futures” with a kindly, gen
erous, and sympathetic aid.
The occasion for his talk/was
a joint meeting of the American
• Association of University Pro
fessors and the American Associ
ation of University Women held
in the Home Economics Auditor
ium. He spoke for 45 minutes. His
subject was “Faculty Responsi
bility for Student Welfare.”
The president urged the fac
. ulty members to seek 1 out and try
to help those students still ■ un
aided by the present administra
tive and student agencies, stu
dents who are unhappy in the
college environment —-nervously
maladjusted, un d ernourisli
ed, poorly clothed, and improper
ly housed.
Without making direct refer
ence to either, he laid consider
able stress on the nervous malad
justments--among students cur
rently increased by the world
political situation and the nation
'ardrafarßfeiiausie-bfi
.tive isolation, Penn State is in a
■better position than most college
communities to avoid • these, the
president pointed out.
College spirit as loyalty to the
highest objectives and practices
of the College has-.been growing
among the students and should
be encouraged, President Hetzel
urged. Through this, he said, -

After War, What!
Dean. Warnock Asks
(Editor’s Note:-Because of-the
special interest of this letter from
Dean A. R. Warnock to every col
lege student, Collegian today
brings its Letters to the Editor
column to the front page. 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.

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. Brand ’4l,
Athletic Association president, in
a letter to the Collegian.
Brand presented his new plan
on the grounds that the present
system is too complicated and
thus discourages competition, fie
announced he would present it to
the Intramural Board at its next
meeting.
1. 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:

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.
In a letter commenting on
IFC’s new constitution, President
Ralph D. 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. El
more ’4l, to arrange such a tour
ament.
IFC’s new rushing, to be pre
pared by Thomas H. Ainsworth’s
committee Monday night, will be
acted on by the Council at its
next meeting.
Wagner asked the cooperation
of the Council members in the
British War Relief Drive which
is to take place next week, and
also in regard to supplying rooms
for those attending the student
government conference next
weekend.
