People fortunate enough a year ago to attend the successful pre sentation of “Der Neffe als Onkel" by the Deutscher Verein will be particularly interested in knowing that the organization is again re hearsing a play which promises to maintain its former high standard of excellence. After much deliberation the Verein finally chose Ernest Wich ert’s comedy, Post Festum, as be ing particularly fitted for its pur pose. Those in charge of selecting a German play are always confront ed with the problem of presenting one that will meet the approbation of those readily understanding Ger man and, at the same time, meeting the requirements of those who, be cause of less familiarity with Ger man, depen<TTargefpnj{JmS4te-2£t ing out of the plot for the evening’s 1 enjoyment. All who are familiar < with the play or any who have wit- ' nessed the rehearsals thus far feel i certain that Post Festum will be i satisfactory to all. The play is largely pantomime. The old General, impatient with the demands of social events and him self a good fellow in an informal way; Stem, the absent-minded Pro cessor,_sc-J*mch in-love - with - the- General’s daughter that his failing is even accentuated, and who there fore considerably complicates mat ters; von Brunnen, the debonair young law student; Frida the daughter—these are but some of the characters that lend interest to the plot and in whose delineation there is presented opportunity for the display of histrionic talent by the cast. The rehearsals have been going on for some time and promise well for the general success of the play. The sale of tickets has been en couraging and the management feels that from all present indi cations, Thursday evening, Feb. 29, will witness an event worthy of anything done by the Verein in past years. It may be of interest to those not understanding German to learn that a very com plete English synopsis is to be in cluded in the program. The College Prohibition Movement. Through the efforts of Mr. Cal vin, the representative of the Inter collegiate Prohibition Association, a College Prohibition League has been organized. The league has for its purpose the equipment of college men for service and leader ship in the settlement of the liquor problem. It stimulates broad, many sided and systematic discus sion, and a study of the whole ques tion, so as to guard against narrow ness and unsatisfactory methods; it enlists young men for service in non license, local and State prohibition, legislative districts, "out-to-win”, and other campaign work. Its occasion is the crying demand for educated men with principle and conviction in public affairs, in the city, state and nation, and the heartfelt conviction on the part of thousands of University and Col lege men that no point of attack is more strategic than that of the liquor traffic. It is independent of TRe Royal Union Mutual Has never lost a dollar either in principal or interest. Its policies are protected by a deposit with the state. They have made the best settlements ever made by any insur- ance company. They have the lowest participating premiums. They earn more money on their invested funds than any other company doing business in Pennsylvania. an"ouTtwiSti-'i anjf- movements but co-operates, by furnishing them with young workers, with all such organizations as need the services of college men. The investigations of the Prohi bition Movement are conducted by means of student leagues, dis cussions, oratorical contests, labora tory work in campaigns, instructions in the principles of the prohibition -reform ,-andJeaves—with-the-student tbe right to decide where his life influence shall be placed, the only right way to guide thinking young men. The next meeting of the league will be held in the Old Chapel at 6:30 p. m. on Friday Feb. 23, 1912 At this time the history of license and the methods for putting a check on the liquor traffic will be discussed by upper classmen and members of the faculty. Later on in the year members of the league will have an ooportunity to compete in local, state, interstate, and National Oratorical contests on subjects suitable to the question at hand, prizes from $5 to $5O will be given to the winner of such con tests. These contests are open to any Penn State man who is a mem ber of the league. This is an excel lent opportunity for the men who have lately taken the stand to live an offensive Christian life, to be come acquainted with the methods employed in fighting down one of our greatest national evils. Don't forget the meeting Friday night. Engineering Notes. Mr. C. D. Gilpin and the Senior Industrial Engineering students en tertained the Freshman Industrial Engineers at a smoker in Mr. Gil pin’s room last Friday night. Mr. Gilpin and Mr. Zieme talked on what is expected of engineering students, Captain Fry spoke on the engineer and scientific management in the army, and Professor Diemer talked on the objects of the In dustrial Engineering Course. New equipment has been install ed in the hydraulic laboratory by means of which experiments may be made on velocity head in small pipes.

In these days of rapidly eclipsed musical comedy it is refreshing to turn to some drama which has stood the test of time and has been appreciated by many generations. Such a one is "She Stoops to Conquer," which will be played by the members of the Liberal Arts Club on Saturday evening, March 2. The educative value of Gold smith's comedy is equalled only by the liveliness of the situations and the sparkle of the dialogue. It is a play which seems ever new, adopt ing itself to peoples of all times equally well. It is one of the dis tinctive things in English; Literature with which every college man and woman ought to be acquainted. Lemont Pa.
