It was a disap pointment because many expected some thing very immodest. There was noth ing. As a photo, there is nothing seem ingly objectionable. The picture itself is entirely too small. "Why the ap pearance of Miss Howe's likeness in the Agromcck crented such a stir among laculty aud students of State College ,s still a perplexing question," said a citi zen yesterday. However, the edition of the Agromerk will show whither or not the movie star's photo npp ared in its original form or was mod, tied at the suggestion of the faculty.

"The objection to the picture in ques tion did not originate with the faculty, nut with certain members of tho senior class itu'lf, and the young ladies of the State whom our cadet officers have hb9cn for their sponsors. "in this way tne matter was brought to the attention of the faculty, who derided that the objections were well taken and thnt the picture as submitted ought not to go into the Aromeck, and no notilied the editors and publishers.

"We recognize the Agromcck es a student publication, and have uo wish to inter 'ere with it uuihily. The faculty will insist, however, that this or any other publication Issued in the name of the college shall lie as claen sn-i rh'e- Rome as possible, and we believe that the sober judgment of our students will lead them to the same conclusion."
