honorary activities society wednesday night recommended that scabbard and blade be come a genuine honorary military society o.d.k also recommended to ar cadia that a definite means of en forcement be established for the freshman regulations by means of a freshman committee composed of arcadia members and a vigil ante committee of several sopho mores it was the opinion of the society that scabbard and blade had be come too much of a social organ ization due to its method of elec tion and had grown away from its constitutionally stated purpose as an honorary group it was for this reason that the opinion of omi cron delta kappa regarding the military society was expressed in an effort to check this change stated eric weiss e e 39 chair man of the investigating commit tee o percy hughes delivers address on ceremony percy d hughes professor of philosophy delivered an address on the esthetics of ceremony before a meeting of the philosoph ical seminar last night in the fac ulty club room the philosophical seminar is an informal gathering of members of the faculty to dis cuss philosophical issues professor hughes said that the human form itself and all the arts of man seem to have arisen in con nection with ceremonies and festi vals since the sixteenth century western civilization in becoming more intellectual has tended to dis credit and dispense with ceremon ies he added that this seems to be only a passing phase of transition from one type of civilization to an renewing of significant ceremonies which will call for the highest art istic genius of philosophic insight other and that we may expect a o phi eta sigma to meet phi eta sigma national honor ary freshman society will meet monday evening at 8 p.m in room 466 packard laboratory to hold their annual christmas

eering will give an illustrated lee | ture on quackery in drug man ufacture cafeteria responsibility of university states governing body asks for new equipment richards house causes increase in number of daily users arcadia feels that it is the re sponsibilty of the university to see that the present cafeteria is repla ced by a new sanitary eating place at the earliest date possible this quotation illustrates the tenor of the report issued by the committee investigating the con ditions in the cafeteria at drown hall the problem which has been a serious one for many years was aggravated this year by the in creased number of students using the cafeteria due to the addition of richards house it is estimated that 600 students and faculty use the lunchroom daily a number which is frequently augmented by special banquets and parties lists desired changes since such a large number of persons avail themselves of the use of the cafeteria the committee suggested the following changes 1 a new serving bar including proper facilities for refrigeration new steam tables and covered dis play cases for fruits and desserts 2 a new grab age shed outside and a policy of keeping the east wall of drown hall clean 3 immediate cleaning and re painting of the kitchen and offices also improvement in the lighting 4 improved facilities for the checking of coats the erection of new racks 5 erection of a tray stand and a new railing in conjunction with the serving bar 6 lastly and of great import ance the installation of better ven tilating equipment the committee emphasizes the desirability of an investigation of the possibilities of securing more adequate facilities both to find a larger place and from the aesthe tic point of view the committee which revealed these facts concerning the situation in the cafeteria was headed by george a albrecht bus 39 the other members of the group were russel kowalyshyn arts 40 an drew morrow ch e 40 and al bert s raff ch e 39 o initiates 15 men

also asks action compulsory freshman regula tions are back for the class of 1943 they were brought back yester day afternoon by recommendations of its own committee and of omi cron delta kappa the regulations will be similar to those in force in spring when arcadia voted to set up a new code with the exception that instead of the dink the freshman will wear the same type of hat as the class of 1942 is now wearing frehsman regulations are to be gin on the first thursday of fresh man week and will end on flag pole day in spring last less than semester the change in regulations for the yearlings came after the new code had been tried less than one semester upperclassmen felt that the code set up for the class of 1942 had failed to acheive the ends sought mainly because there were no means of enforcing it the freshman union was abolished by arcadia because it was never or ganized the present code governing the present freshman is one of honor the freshmanh hat is to be worn not by any member but only by those members in good standing with their class the result has been that fewer and fewer fresh man have cared to identify them selves as being in good standing o d k asks time

noon to act on the changes recom mended by the senior honorary it was o d k which suggested that the rules remain in effect until flag pole day instead of expiring at the beginning of the christmas
