ESTABLISHED 1904 Volume 32—Number GO College Plans Extension. of Grandstands Will Increase Capacity • Of West Stands. By 20 Rows. End of Wooden East ,Stands Seen in Move New steel stands will be erected on the football field, - the COLLEGIAN learned today. Under the new plans, which will be completed ,by the middle of July, the , West stands will seat 8,- 000 spectators.. This is an increase from 2,300. The West stands now contain twen ty rows of -seats'. After completion in July, there will be forty rows, with the addition of new walks. The new measurements increase froM 180 feet 'long to 806 feet in length. Press Box To Be Improved The press box will be moved back, and will again be placed at the top of the stands. However, a new fea ture will be added. There will be a platform constructed, to be used by photographers in the taking of mov ing pictures for instructional pur poses. Until now, photographers were', forced to take their shots front the scoreboard. This was unsatisfactory, since the scoreboard would sway. Director Hugo Bezdelc, of 'the School! of Physical Education and Athletics, would like team rooms, complete with showers, toilets, and other conve niences, built in .''ender the new stands. He would' also like public toilets and rooms for coaches added. No plans have yet been made for such improvements, but officials hope that such may be provided. East Stands To Come Down Plans have. also been completed to tear down the..wooden East stands. With these - stands up, - the present seating capacity was 7,200. 'Since the new West stanBB. , abanc will, scat 8,- wooden Staidi;atThresent: - :However, if the Athletic ,Assaciiition would're quest it, temporary 'bleachers could be erected on the East side of New Beaver field. The reason for the condemnation of the East stands is apparent. In order for them to be made safe to' hold football crowds; constant repair ing was necessitated: Last year, about 81000 was spent before, and about 8000 more during the football season was spent to make the stands safe. It was found that it would prove wiser to erect new ones than to constantly make large expenditures, for repairs. Baseball Field a Question' ' There have been no definite steps taken to improve the general condi tion of the baseball field. Until now, only the old dugouts have been re moved. „This Was, done since the dug outs blocked more than 100 seats on each side of the bleachers, and, in ad dition, were beginning to show signs of wear.

Perhaps one of the distinctions of Penn State is the fact that it does not rain on May Day. As soon as the sun . rose over Mount Nittany, the !May Day events began with the breakfast in Holmes; field. At this breakfast 11 freshmen were tapped for Cwens, the sophomore women's activities honorary fraternity. At 6:30 a. no., Mortar Board, the senior women's activities and scholarship hor,orary, tapped 10 junior women. These two societies are the goal of every freshman and junior woman. At 2:30 Miss Ray entertained over 1,000 mothers of students at a lea in the second floor lounge of Old Main. At this tea the Mothers of outstand-: hog senior women poured.

Professors Hawkins, Waller Hit Fallacy of Crime Cost Experts Smacking the fallacy of the crime "experts" who seek to establish the cost'of crime, Profs. Edward R. Haw kins and Willard Waller, of the 'de partment of economics and sociology, not only see any estimation of the ul timate cost of crime as almost an ab surd impossibility but prove some crime to be economically`productive in their analysis of the situation, print ed in a recent issue of the Journal of. Crimbud Lisa and Criminology. The co-auiliors emphasize by their analysis that, instead of attempting to. discover the cost of crime, more strenuous effort should be put forth to discover the economic effects of crime. Professors Hawkins .and Waller point out early in their article that most of the literature on the cost of crime is wholly fallacious and mis leading, produced with little race dive thought. Double-counting, such as adding the cost of maintaining police to the earning power of the policemen if professor of physical education, for her competent supervision of the af fair; to Miss Amy L. Fischer, in structor in physical education, for her excellent training of the May Pole dancers; to Mavis F. Baker '37 and Martha Shaner '37, co-chairmen, for the management of the event; and to each girl on the individual commit tees for the cooperation which made'' the exercise an outstanding success. A. Frances Turner '36 climaxed a Most. outstanding college career when she was crowned May Queen. As a I freshman, Miss Turner was elected Maid of Honor to the May Queen and was tapped for Cwens. She was elect ed to W. S. G. A., made president of Cwens, danced in two Thespian shows, and was sent as the Penn State representative to the Laurel Festival in' Stroudsburg during her', sophomore year. As a junior she re tained her position on the Senate, was elected to the junior editorial board ' of the COLLEGIAN, and was tapped for Mortar Board. During the past year, she attained the highest honor as president of W. S. G. A., was wom en's editor of the senior editorial board of the COLLEGIAN, refused her house presidency, and ruled over the entire campus as May Queen. Throughout the day, the parents of students were entertained by lunches, smokers, and teas at the various fra ternities and by the lacrosse game . in the afternoon. "Ali, Wilderness!", the Players' contribution for the Mother's Day entertainment, packed the auditorium for its final showing Saturday night. The chapel service Sunday morn ing, dedicated to all mothers, brought to a conclusion the effort Penn State puts forth annually to give visitors entertainment worthy of the campus.

After showing that many 'crimin als produce floods or services which people desire and are willing to pay for, Professors Hawkins and Waller say, "It happens that society has put these goods and services under' the ban, but people goon producing them, and people go on consuming them, and an act of legislature does not malic them any less a part , of the economic system." The co-authors see crime as an in tegral part of our economic system, a huge industry that gives employment (Continued on pagc two) STATE COLLEGE, PA'., TUESDAY, MAY 12, 1936 Morini Oppos4 Sunday In AA Re-election Today Because no candidate for presi dent or secretary of:the Athletic Association polled d Majority vote at the elections yesterday, a re election will take place today in Old Main lobby.

Librarians'Collection Of Bookmarkers On Display Bookmarks are unusual' character istics of, people who read—at least the library staff believes that, for each year they collect d varied lot. This year's collection ranges from a hairpin to a conspicuous note which commemorates the finding of a $lO bill which was returned to the owner. The librarians have selected the best of the markers and have pasted them on a large cardboard for dis play this week. In the lower left cor ner of the red background there arc strands of broivn hair tied with a blue ribbon. (The original hair was lost one windy afternoon, but a library worker permitted the clipping of a few locks for the poster.), A ticket to the Artists' Course places second to the,slo in extrava gant bookmarkers. Other "finds" in cluded a button, awning advertise ment, State College 'Air Depot, Inc., letterhead, metal captain's badge, transparent ruler, handkerchief, and a photograph of some mustached gentleman. The most common bookmarks (lur ing the spring and summer• are press ed flowers.• Usually, it is an excep tional season when the workers don't find a few heavy-scented letters. Then, of course, the easiest way of losing a bill is to put it in a book and let it travel—away from you.

Chosen Group To Visit Campus Next Saturday Pans for the third. annual Penn State Day next Saturday were rapid ly nearing completion today as alumni groups from principal centers contin ued to send invitations to high school seniors and prospective college stu dents. Approximately 250 seniors, includ ing 50 women, will arrive-Saturday morning to participate in the. event. The ceremonies will be much less pre tentious this year than in the past. The number of visitors has been re duced and the program will not be so extensive. The group coming to the campus has been carefully selected by alumni organizations on the basis of the stu dent's desirability and his likelihood of enrolling here next fall. Several reasons were given for the modifica tion of the event this year, according to Joseph P. Swift '36, chairman of the committee in cOrge of arrange ments. Findings of the committee appoint ed several months ago to investigate Penn State Day precipitated the change in the program. The commit tee, headed by William D. Bertolette '36, recommended that the event, de signed to attract students to the col lege, be modified in view of the al most capacity enrollment. The com mittee also charged that the program as carried out in the past was at tracting high school stu3ents who had no intention of entering college, here or elsewhere. "There have actually been caes," liertolette said, "of students coming here for the week-end who were only juniezijn.high school." It was also found that only a negli gent number of visitors from the past two years enrolled here. Bertolette said he believed that the system of having alumni chooge the visitors would eliminate the practices which counteracted any of the expect ed value of the program. This year's plans were designed to lift the financial burden from fra ternity houses who seldom reaped any benefits from the event. Each house lias been asked to provide meals for four visitors. The high school students will arrive here about 10 o'clock. A program of sports, tours and other forms of entertain ment have been arranged to occupy the day. Student Union Dance To Take Place Sat. An all-college dance, at which new members of the three upper-class hat societies, Skull and Bones, Parmi Noes,' and Blue Key will be tapped, will be held in Bee hall - Saturday, May 16. Bill Bottorf and his orchestra will ' play for the dance, which is the fifth all-college affair sponsored by Stu dent Union this year. Admission will be 25 cents pe❑ person with free checking. Tickets are now on sale at the Student Union office. Co-chairmen of the dance are Gretchen H. Diehl and Harry B. Henderson. Assistants arc Franc* A. Turner, Joseph P. Swift, William D. Bertolette, William H. Skirble, all seniors, and George H. Hacker '37. Hoffman Occupi By Study, Col William S. Hoffman, College Reg istrar, not only spends his working hours in the accumulation of statis tics and various other classifications, but also occupies his spare moments with an intricate maze of facts. Long known for his hobby of col lecting match boxes, Mr. Hoffman has turned his attention for the past year to the study and collection of words —pattern words that aid him in the solving of cryptograms. ' Mr. Hoffman spent the last year going through a complete •issue of The Saturday Evening Post, classify ing every pattern word. He defines a pattern word as one in which some letter appears more than once. Each pattern word is classified by a method indicating, the arrangement of letters within the word. The word "excellent" would appear under the number "9.147.56." The first num ber, "9," indicates the number of let ten in the word. The series ".147" 3 '.7. :- alt 4,000 Attend Ist Combined Mothers' Day, Scholarship Day Exercises on Sunday Seniors Will Assemble At 7:30 O'clock Tonight Senior men who expect to grad uate wi:l meet tonight in the Chemistry Amphitheatre at 7:30 o'clock, it was announced today by Joseph T. Laucius, chairman of senior class day exercises. Elec tion of honor men for class day will take place. Laucius announced that the committee will receive suggestions for the use of the class money for gifts to the College. Since it is essential for the committee to make their plans immediately, it is hoped that every senior will at tend the meeting tonight. Basis of Senior Honorary Raised 2.4 All-college Average Required For tommencernent Honor Roll Hoffman Says. All seniors attaining an all-College average of 2.4 and higher will be placed on the commencement honor roil, it was announced today by Wil liam S. Hoffman, College Registrar. This marks the first time such a method is in use. For the past fifteen years, com mencement honor rolls included two groups, first and second honors. Be fore 1924, the upper fifteen per cent , of the graduating class would receive first honors, and the second fifteen per cent, second honors. In 1929, this method was changed, only twenty per cent of the class receiving commenda tion, with ten per cent attaining the first mention. Rules Again Changed 19i1, the Semite decided to re duce the honors list to fifteen per cent of the graduating class. Five per cent received first honors and the re= mining tell, second election. This gave the average commendations to those attaining an average of "2" or better. Last year, the Senate again made changes. Going into effect with the June graduation, there shall be only one list of honors. The only distinc tion that will be made will concern those who have received some schol arship award. .These seniors will have the name of the award follow ing their name on the honor list. Mr. Hoffman, pointed out that the reason for the change was apparent. Summer session graduates usually at tained higher averages than the oth er two groups, and sometimes even those who attained high grades would not be on the honor roll. Along with this, mid-year graduates usually did 1151 fill their quota of honors. Lewis, Staff To Attend Meeting in Richmond Willard P. Lewis and nine of his staff assistants of the College library will attend the American Library As sociation meeting in Richmond, Va., May 11 to 15. Accompanying Mr. Lewis will be Misses Beal, Crammer, Dwyre, Frear, Knoll, Martin, Ruffner, Smith, and Stokes. Mr. Lewis is secretary-treasurer of the College and Reference Section of the Association, a member of the Oberly Fund Committee, and a mem ber of the sub-committee on Interna tional Agricultural Libraries. s Spare Hours ection of Words shows that the first, fourth,'and sev enth letters are alike. "st" indicates the fifth and sixth letters in the word arc the same. Iloffman then classifies the words according to the dictionary method, using numbers for letters. Iris numbers go up to seventeen, as he has never found an eighteen-letter word. After he reaches nine, ten to seventeen reads, "x, e, T, t, F, f. S, 5." Then the word' "anticipation" would be classified under "13.18.2T.30.46x." In his playing with words, Mr. Hoffman has discovered many inter .esting facts. . The word "assassina tion" is the longest word with the fewest different letters. The two commonest words used in crypto grams are "people" and "experience." The Registrar carries on cryptogram correspondence in the newspapers, particularly in the Philadelphia Eve ning Ledger. COMPLETE CAMPUS COVERAGE PRICE FIVE CENTS Barron Wins John W.
