To Heck With Hell It is a standard tradition in most fraterni ties to ((induct what is called Hell Week—a period in which the pledges go through their most arduous "training" in preparing them selves for brotherization into the chapter. We question the value and validity of Hell Week. In brief, this is what a typical Hell Week program consii , ts of: rigorous hazing of pledges by brothers; little; if any, sleep for the pledges during the duration of the period; "gamt..-s" in which the pledges are made the blunt of the joke; lengthy - work sessions at which the pled ges do constructive labor for repairs, painting, etc. Although sonic fraternities may differentiate from this somewhat, it could be considered typical of Hell Week activities. We feel that most of the activities during Hell Week are worthless—they prove nothing and serve only to humble the pledge below human proportions. Preventing a pledge from sleeping, whether it be six or only three days, can accomplish nothing but injury to the pledge's health. No one can go without slei'p and retain a healthy khysical condition. Sleepless Hell Weeks were nown in the past to impair a pledge's health so severely that he was forced to withdraw from school for at least a semester. Some houses try to reach a compromise by Years of Service Samuel K Hostetter today ends almost half a century of service to the University. He re tires with emeritus rank as vice president for finance. Their. is no doubt that he will be missed with in the administration. Hostetter's days of leisure were to begin a year ago. But at that time President Eric A. Walker was just taking over his new job, and Hostetter was asked to stay on because of the help he could give the new President. Hostetter was named to the University staff in 1908 as an assistant in administration and later that year was named secretary to the deans of the colleges. He later was appointed acting financial agent and in 1910 became purchasing agent. In 1923 the duties of manager of the residence halls and dining commons were added to his job. In 1935, President Ralph Dorn Hetzel appoint ed him to the position of assistant to the Presi dent in charge of business and finance. He con tinued in that post until 1950 when he was given the title of comptroller. Hostetter in 1936 was named also as acting treasurer and the following year was appointed treasurer. Since 1936, he has served as treasurer of the Board of Trustees. The record speaks for itself. with the Uni 7 versity the winner. 701.1.FAIIAN BUSINESS STAFF. 6:30 p.m, 202 Willard. .OOLLECIAN CLASSIFIED AD STAFF. 7 p.m, Collegian office.

MT —The Editor Gazette THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA STEVE HIGGINS. Business Menages Week permitting a few hours sleep. However, This policy has not been successful—the pledge is still "beat" physically. Is that the purpose of a fraternity? We think not: yet the idiotic prac tice still remains. The games, which vary from the ridiculous to the obscene, are the most valueless items in the program. They serve nothing but to allow a brother to display his sadistic tendencies to the rest of the chapter. At times, this sadistic tendency is often praised by most members— and those people are supposed to be mature college men. How hypocritical can one get? It has often been argued that Hell Week is intended to make the pledge realize the value of humility in order to be better prepared for brotherization. Our answer to this is: humility can never be taught through ridiculous humili ation. It results only from well-developed, time consuming efforts. It should come from the pledge's training during his semester's pledge period. Hell Week is unnecessary—it accomplishes nothing. A revision of a fraternity's pledge training program should suffice. Train the pledge properly and he will become a worthy brother—Hell Week will never make him into a man. Grim Reminders It's beginning to look as if Penn State is a booby trap with shade trees. In the first issue of The Daily Collegian this fall, we quoted the National Safety Council as saying college and university campuses are booby traps with shade trees. The council reached this conclusion after a study made in cooperation with the American College Health Association. The study showed that the accident toll among college and uni versity students is alarmingly big and growing. The council, in most certain words, made it known that it does not consider college and uni versity campuses as traditional symbols of reflective tranquility and happy, carefree liv ing. After last week it is easy to see why, for this newspaper of late has been reporting grim news: the student who died as a result of a fall into a sunken fraternity patio, the six students in jured in the Tug-of-war victory demonstration, and the three students who were hospitalized from an auto crash during the weekend. These should be enough reminders for us all to use some extra care and common sense. Wilk GOLF CI.UB. 2 p.m. Golf course.

Everywhere you look there's a monument to somebody: to generals who took part in battles now forgotten, to states men whose accomplishments have been worn away by the pressure of new problems until they're little more than footnotes in history books. Yet where is the monument to William Willett? Who today even thinks of the man'lvhose achieve ment is no further away than this morning's alarm clock? For William Willett did the most to sell the idea of daylight saving time. Today some persons who have been on daylight time went back io work on standard time, and some who have been on daylight time will stay there for another month, and all this tampering with time is because of Willett. Willett was an Englishman who built fancy houses. He had his big idea about daylight time in 1907. Willett's idea was that clocks should be set ahead for 20 min utes." This Ni-ould be done in four stages as summer advances, so that finally the clocks would be 80 minutes ahead of standard time. Although he spent a lot of time and money pushing his idea, Willett never got any where much in his lifetime. He died in 1915, shortly before World War I made daylight sav ing time a reality. To save power and fuel, the Germans pushed the clocks ahead an hour, and the Allies gradually adopted the same course.

The first nationwide daylight saving law was repealed, largely be cause of farm protests, over a veto by President Wilson. Nor has the argument ever died completely. Five years ago. for instance, a bill for daylight saving in the District of Colum bia was before - the House. Rep. H. R. Gross (R.) of Water loo, lowa, grumbled: "I would like to hear someone explain the necessity for this legislation, and. who is demanding it, other than the golfers and mint-julep-patio squatters who like to preen them selves in the Washington, D.C., midnight sun. I am opposed to it." The bill passed, however, and Congress went on daylight time, too. Freshman Society Hears Founder Members of Alpha Lambda Delta, national freshman women's scholastic society, had a special guest speaker at its first meeting of the year on Thursday their founder, Maria Leonard. Three 'students were initiated into the society: Ericka Mares, Carol Frank and Lois Di Joseph. During the business transacted at the meeting, the society formed committees to handle its fresh man tutoring program.
