the bethle hem lads captured all but two bouts securing falls in the 115 and 125-pound classes and time decisions in the 135 and 175 pound divisions lehigh was handicapped as a result of in juries sustained by badgley in the tryouts held during the week and also because of the fact that liberty high had no heavyweight clarence lehr showed up well for lehigh scoring a fall in the quick time of

last thursday the college had the pleasure of hearing mr william w roper speak although mr roper is best known as the coach of the princeton football team in which capacity he has had re markable success he is also a member of the city gouncil of philadelphia and has been very active politically mr roper devoted most of his time to the subject of pres ent-day politics especially as it affects college men one of the greatest changes that has come over the country in re cent years is the change in the attitude of students toward public affairs during the war there was no group of men that contributed a greater percen tage of its number to the cause of their country than did the college undergraduates but since that time interest has fal len off to such a degree that a very small number take even enough interest to vote for the young college gradu ate the best way to show an interest in his community and to become known is to take an interest in politics during his spare time soon he should be come well enough known that he will be asked to run for some minor office from which he will rise through the scale and isoon gain a greater influence both in his community and out side of it changes are need ied now in the state legislatures where one man controls the votes of very many members and in congress where men are too willing to give their vote on one issue to a man who will help them on another according to the statistics published by the dean's office there were fifty-five freshmen and 109 sophomores juniors and seniors placed on proba tion this last term this is an increase of fifty-eight over last june's probationers however it is interesting to know that the number of men who met the terms of probation this term is larger than that of last june of the original 600 freshmen only forty were flunked out of school thirty-six men in the three upper classes failed to meet the requirements and were therefore dropped from college this record on the whole re flects
