Fi Lambda Theta Open Meeting in Administration Auditorium
Gamma chapter of Pi Lambda Theta held an open meeting at the auditorium to discuss the proceedings, day featuring an address by Paul B Lawson, associate dean of the law school.
Mr. Lawson lated four desirable changes. The teacher should try to imitate the model of co-operative work. There should be a closer correlation between high school and college.
"I do not worry of any more interesting thing a person can do than to strive to be a teacher," said Mr. Lawson, who does well in teaching. "I do as teaching a class. The only education any one ever receives is by an expenditure of effort."
More trade schools are needed, especially for boys, he said, students must be prepared to take courses in any particular field in which they may be interested, and be allowed to remain, taking only courses that will equip them with satisfactory work is done in the courses.

Football Changes Hit Coaches More Than Spectators
Hargiss Explains Effect of Rulings; Doubts Enforcement Rigidity
"The changes in the football rules will affect the game more from the coaches standpoint than from the viewpoint of the players," he said, "the possible differences which may be brought about by the bad ball rule," stated H. W. Hargis, head coach of the Cincinnati Reds.
TO LESSEN DEATHS
"In regard to the rule applying to the use of the hands or arms on the head of an opponent," said Coach Hargas, "I think that it is a good change, but it has not been properly enforced because of the severe penalty attached to it. A referee will be apt to let it slip rather than penalize a team half the distance to the goal. In fact, the referee it would have been an effective rule with a penalty of about 15 yards.
"The flying tackle and flying block rules do not wait the game in the back, because it happens because the same rule under a slightly different wording has always been in place."
Mike Getto, line coach, said that the rule forbidding the use of hands or arms on the head of an opponent would weaken the defense to a great extent. "I don't like that change." Getto explained, "because it will make us more helpless against two men and will handicap the ends to a certain degree.
"Alloghet I expect the changes in the rules to weaken the defense and speed up the offence." Gotto added. "I have a bad habit of being a bit busy to the defensive team."
Commenting on the necessity for the changes in the rules, Coach Hargas said, "It is very evident that the rules committee is trying to take the danger out of football and reduce the number of injuries." He also reached the number of 40 or more.
"The dead ball rule and the probin-
g of the use of hands on the head
or neck of an opponent are both devised
for this purpose."

President Wants Congress to Give Him More Power
Would Reorganize Executive Branch Into a More Compact Department
Washington, Feb. 17—(UPI)—President Hoev today asked congress' or authority to affect a complete reorganization of the executive branches of the U.S.
PREDICTS BIG SAVING
In a special message, the President said the rapid growth of bureaus and commissions was costing the people and taxpayers, and that scores of these units overlapped. He said these "separate units" once became "unified," going after their jobs were completed.
He admitted the amount of money to be saved was "difficult to estimate," he said. He asked the governors dollars a year. He said the governors had $20,000 and difficulty, to and for this end recommended:
2. Adoption of the general principle that executive and administrative functions should have single-headed responsibility and that advisory, regulatory and quasi-judicial functions should be held by boards and commissions."
Wants Single responsibility
1. Consolidation and grouping of the various executive and administrative activities under single-headed responsibility.
To this end, Mr. Hoover asked the congress for "authority under proper safeguards to effect these transfers and consolidations, and authority to redistribute executive groups in the 10 executive departments of the govern-
He suggested that the changes could be made by him through executive orders, but he did not force the congress for 90 days during sessions thereof, before becoming effective, and becoming effective at the time of his death. He should shall request suspension of action."
Advocates New Offices
While proposing elimination of many minor offices, the President suggested that he would have to decide which he would said fill the need for "desistue and concentrated copes" with the problems.
Assistant secretary for public health (new); Assistant secretary for education (new); Assistant secretary for assistant secretary for merchant marine (new); Assistant secretary for conservation (new); Assistant secretary for agricultural economy (new); Assistant secretary (new); Assistant secretary for agricultural economics (change from director); Public works administrator (new); Personnel administrator (change from chairman of civil service)
Recalls Previous Proposal
The President recalled that he had mentioned the prosecution previously, particularly the appointment of an administrator for public works. He defined this as "partially a service agency to the other departments of the government." He said, however, that naval, military and some other light specialized contractors may not be transferred to this agency.
He recommended that the civil service commission "be maintained as an advisory body to the personnel administrator." But many of its other functions "should be transferred to the personnel administration."
SUPPLEMENTS TO STUDENT DIRECTORY TO APPEAR SOON
"Arrangements have been made for issuing a supplement for the student directory," said Kenneth Slocum, c33, editor of the student directory.
The contract has been left to the current-World. A definite date has as yet not been set for the delivery of the supplement, although it seems at present that the publication will be delayed.
In past years, the demand for the directory supplement has not been great. Although it is always possible that it is probable that the supplement will be about one-third the size of the regular supplement, it may not be necessary.

DEAN STOUFFER SPEAKS ON ITALIAN UNIVERSITY SYSTEM
"The chief difference between Italian universities and the universities of this country is that the Italian schools take no interest in the student," said Dean E. B. Stouffer of the Graduate School before the Graduate Class last fall.

Italian students attend classes and then, if they want credit for the course, they may take examinations at a university or even much as a year and a half. The examination is oral.
