And Landseer's SABEAN RE SEARCHES. page I12. says that this Egyptian spring fast of forty days was expressly in honor of the demon god Osiris or Adonis.

Ever-changing Lent Customs

 Lent having no divine origin or law To govern it. and being found ed only on the shifting sands of hu- man traditions. il is not surprising to learn that there is little resem- blance beween lent customs today and those of olden times. Ash We'd Lesday marks the beginning of lent. concerning which McCHntork K Strong's CYCLOPEDIA says there is "a perfect silence in the most an ceint writing Pope Celestin III. in 1I91. was the first 10 sanction Ash Wednesday as the universal beginning of lent. lENCYCLOPED- IA AMERICANA Tn Rome the on this occasion is mos ridiculous" says McClintock 6 Strong. for after giving themseI- ives up to all kinds of gaiety and licentiousness during the Carnival immediately preceding lenu. til twelve o'clock on Tuesday night the people go on Ash-Wednesdav morning into the churches".

BIaik Helping Cadets
Find Other Colleges
BY the Associated Press

WEST POINT, N. Y, Aug. IL
Army's head coach, Earl (Redl
Blaik, said today he and his Of
flee were doing everything possible
to see that football players in
volved in the Military Academy S
exam cribbin scandal could finish
their college education elsewhere.
He said he was helping the boys
in making contact with colleges
where they may complete their
school work.
Contrary to popular belief, there
is no rush on the part Of other
institutions to take in these out
standing athletes who starred
for Army's mighty team.
"These are fine boys and would
be a credit to any school," Mr..
Blaik said. They deserve a
chance to return to normal life. "
"They aren't primarily interest
ed in football. They are anxious
to complete their education and
most of them want to return to
the service aud become officers.
But many are of modest means" "
Mr.. Blaik said he doubted the
boys would go to one college in
a group.
Il think they would like to
scatter to the winds" he added,
because by close association they
think they may keep alive this
horrible experience. So 7 think
they would like to go out in ones
and twos and most of them to
sections removed from their
homes"

the subject. is the fact that it is
administered and perpetuated al
most entirely by the corps of
cadets.
1t is regrettable in the recent
scandal that SO much attention
was paid to the testimony of few
offenders and so little attention
was paid to the remainder of the
corps who stood adamant against
those who had broken their code.
The honor system is vital to West
Point. The ability to live by that
system is a requisite for a man
who is preparing to be an officer.
If man cannot understand and
adhere to the code while he is a
cadet. there seems a grave danger
that he will not be able to adhere
to it under the much greater
stresses of his officer service-a
service which may mean 40 years
of increasing responsibility.

Quiet Probe Expected
By Board Of Visitors
Into Cadet Cribbinq
BY The Associoted Press

Senators said yesterday they ex-
pect quiet check to be made into
the situation at West Point after
the present furore about moves to
ouSt 80 cadets for cribbing has
died down.
Senator Ellender, Democrat. of
Louisiana, said the checkup can
be made by the official Board of
Visitors" to the West Point and
Annapolis academies.
Chairman Russell OF the Senate
Armed Services Committee, in a
separate interview, agreed with
Senator Ellender that "this prob
ably is the best way to look into
the situation"
Some legislators believe the
Board of Visitors may be what
President Truman had in mind
last week when he said he was
having checkup made.
Others say the President was
making an independent inquiry,
with emphasis on recruiting of
athletics.
In Existence 80 Years.
Official Boards of Visitors" to
the officer training centers have
existed for more than 80 years,
although Congress spelled out
their duties by law only three
years ago.
They consist Of four Senators,
five House members and nine ci-
villains, usually educators. They
pay q formal visit each year to
the academies.
In addition to this annual visit
the law allows board members to
drop in at any time and question
officers, instructors and students
on almost any topic.
Senators Ellender and Russell
agreed that this board authority
should and would be used. Both
are members of the West Point
board.

1T shall be the duty Of each
board" the law states, ito inquire
into the state or morale and dis
lcipline, curriculum, instruction,
physical equipment, fiscal affairs,
academic methods, and other mat
ters relating to the academy :"
"The boys guilty of cheating
ought to be punished" Senator
Ellender said. There probably
are some leaders more guilty than
others. That usually is true in a
thing of this kind"
Senator Ellender deplored what
he called too much emphasis on
football and suggested it might
be wise If all Congressman used
a standard system for selection of
cadets and midshipmen.
1T should stress scholarship and
leadership rather than football
players, he said.
