Radical C h a n g e Planned For
Office H o l d e r s
A point system has been drawn up
by the Student Council after investigation of similar systems in other
colleges. The purpose of this system
is to insure better management of all
public offices, to prevent social activities interfering' with scholastic activities and to give more people a
chance to hold office
A tentative point system has boon
devised under which each office has
been rated in accordance with the
amount of honor and responsibility
involved. Offices arc divided into two
main groups. Major offices are those
which are given six points or more.
Minor offices are those given less than
six points. One person may hold one
major office or two minor offices.
The following plan drawn up by
the Student Council has the sanction
of Dr. Brubacher:

"The retentive capacity of the student never is accurately indicated by
the written examination," said -Professor F. N. Freeman, of the University of Chicago. "One student may
stay up all night to fill his head with
a jumble of dissociated facts without over understanding their meaning. In the examination room the
next day he will record his vast
knowledge with the same facility as
the superior student who has mastered his subject. The first type may
forget his facts within a week, yet
he is given the same grade as his
more intelligent classmate."
A plan of scientific measurement
of intelligence, to replace the examination system, was suggested.

RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION
State College students as a whole
do not do any original thinking which
Is put to any practical use as war as
tlie college is concerned. This premise from direct observation.
The News has, during the year,
asked, nay, implored student ideas
and student opinion of all phases of
college life. Only once did it obtain
any material satisfaction in the form
of articles on the honor system. Apparently ideas and opinions died with
the honor system. It seems rather
dishonorable for stdonts to gossip detrimentally about the college institutions instead of stating their criticism where it would help bring about
reform or at least acquaint the student body with existing problem.-,.
The News is not in a position to demand opinions but feels that it is justified in critisizing a student body so
lax, so negligent, so obviously asleep
as the one it tries to interest.
DEAN METZLER~TAKES
ISSUE WITH EDITORIAL
Dean William H. Metzler this week
look issue with The State College
News regarding an editorial which
appeared two weeks ago in that paper. The editorial entitled "In Protest" attracted wide-spread discussion
among both students and faculty.
Referring to the clause, "the consensus of opinion is that the grades
are not fair," the Dean said: "This
implies wholesale criticism of the faculty. In one or more cases with one
or two professors this remark might
be justified but, as it now is, it is far
too sweeping, too far-fetched.
A
part-truth has been taken for the
whole truth."
"A most forceful argument in favor of abolishing final examinations,"
Dean Metzler read from the editorial.
Argument with whom?" he asked
.smilingly. "The abolition of final examinations is not practicable," ho
concluded.
_____
MORE AGAINST
EXAMINATIONS
Criticism of examinations as unsound, unscientific and generally
meaningless was voiced by a number
of speakers at the recent convention
of the National Education Association at Chicago. Ratings in traditional tests "have no fixed relation to
mental capacity or intellectual ability," they maintained.

DR. BRUBACHER AND
DEAN PIERCE ATTEND
CHICAGO CONVENTION
OF EDUCATORS
Dr. Brubacher and Miss Pierce represented State College at Chicago,
where, during the past two weeks, a
series of the most important educational meetings of the year were held.
Dr. Brubacher attended the meetings of the American Association of
Teachers colleges, at which the principal discussion centered about a definition of standards of teachers colleges, including such questions as the
ratio of faculty to students, the number of hours constituting an efficient
teaching schedule. The main question taken up by the meetings of the
College Teacher's Association was
that of job analysis, a study of not
only the mechanics, but also the art
of teaching. The cost of education
with refutations of government and
popular arguments for reduction unci
limitation was very seriously considered by the Department of Superintendents of the National Association
of education.
The principal Chicago meeting Miss
Pierce attended was that of the Association of Deans of Women.

JUNIORS SCORE OVER THE
SENIORS IN HOT DEBATE
ON SOVIET RECOGNITION
Greenblath and Nagle Make Fine
Speeches For Opposite Sides
2 TO 1 VOTE FOR JUNIORS
Maintaining that it would be inexpedient for the United States government to recognize the Russian Soviet
—a government which is "incompatible with the idea of sound government and generally recognized principles of International law, the Junior class debating team was given a
two to one decision by the judges
over the seniors last Friday morning.
The debate marked the first interclass affair of its kind at State college for several years, and it was the
first of two inter-class debates scheduled for this year. The freshmen
and sophomores are the principles in
the next discussion on the Bok Peace
plan.
Margery Bayless opened the discussion for the seniors, upholding the
affirmative on the question of Jius^
sian recognition. She asserted that
the Soviet is worthy of recognition,
since the government has endured
since 1917.
Muriel Weber, first
speaker for the negative, declared
that recognition would not aid the
people of Russia, and that it was not
an economic expedient or necessity.
Drawing a contrast between the
status of Russia and Germany during
the World war in respect to the
United States, and the present treatment of these .two nations by the
American government, Betty Nagle
attempted to prove for the affirmative
that the Department of State must
take cognizance of the Soviet, if the
United States is to bo just. The second speaker for the negative, Florence Greenblath, painted a vivid picture of the military rule in Russia
and the submission of the plebiscite
to this domination of the "iron hand."
Annie Olson outlined the history
of the recognition of Turkey, Mexico
and various countries of Northern
Africa by the United States, pointing
out that in each of the cases the
United States government did not
countenance illegal practices, such as
brutality and piracy, by her acts of
recognition.
Gertrude Olds came
through for the negative with proof
of charges that Russia has spread
propoganda against the United States,
that she has repudiated her debts and
that her international attitude violates the ideals governing inter-state
relations.
The judges were Professor Walker,
Acting Professor Hidley and Coach
Wegner. Two voted for the negative
and one for the affirmative.
JUNIOR PEDAGOGUE BOARD

The ever-original class of '24 has

Board shall be chosen early so that

OMICRON NU GIVES PARTY
TO H. E. FRESHMEN
Home Economics freshmen were
ushered out of bare halls into a most
artistically decorated, "homey" looking room on Wednesday, February
27.
The soft glow from the pink
candles cast a magic spell of enchantment over the orchid and pink arrangements of the room. This was
the rare treat Omicron Nu Rave to
the Home Economics freshmen so
that they might know what Omicron
Nu was all about.
Miss Steele, Faculty member of
Omicron Nu, first gave the freshmen
an idea of the origin of Omicron Nu.
Later Miss Fillingham enumerated
the qualifications for membership,
and the work the Omicron Nu Alumnae were doing.
Professor Gillett, head of the Home
Economics department, attended the
party.
Professor Walker read a number
of French Canadian poems. Mr. Candlyn rendered a few musical selections and Helen Moore, President of
the Home Economics Club, gave some
vocal numbers. Eleanor Giffin played
the piano while everyone sang College songs.
Refreshments ended a most enjoyable time, and the Omicron Nu party
will always remain a delightful memory to the H. E. freshmen of '24.

•26'27 GAME SWIFT BUT WILD
The '26-'27 basketball duel of February 26 was characterized by swift,
sometimes wild throws, intercepted
passes, and such excited playing that
an unusual number of fouls were
called. Tuell, '26, and Falle, '27,
being the worst offenders. Tuell, '26,
played a brilliant game but the accurate shooting of the freshmen forwards won the contest. The enthusiastic support of '27 aided the freshmen.
